[On a report about Wizards of the Coast adding LGBT representation to its games]

Remember, the WotC Gay Initiative is about reminding everyone that you cannot escape the hivemind. Read the announcement – they intend to double down on their gay quota and have committed to including gay and trans and bi and queer characters in every product they sell from here on out.

If you are a normal person, and you want to use WotC published materisals, you will have to do additional work to renormalize them. You will have to genderswap. You will have to retransition. You will have to de-queerify.

Which is an extra middle-finger to their core audience given how much work they already expect DMs to do to turn their official campaign books into material usable at the table. You already are handed a second rate novel and a few NPC stats and told, make some stuff up but make sure your players only color within the narrative lines or this book will devolve from almost useless to completely useless. It’s a sign that they are more concerned about looking good to the entryists than producing materials that DMs can use without heavy, HEAVY time investments.
