Good question! But no, I meant that basically the “impact” of killing off one of the only LGBT characters would be much less severe if there were several different instances of representation. 🙂 The “bury your gays” trope is only that way because of the fact that most media kills off it’s only LGBT characters.
“Hey, welcome to InRange TV. My name is Ian. In today’s comparison, Karl is going to be using a battle rifle that he had custom engineered by a team of Swiss, German, and American engineers that’s capable of achieving sub-sub-sub-sub MOA accuracy at 1000 yards when facing away from the target. I’m going to be using this crudely engineered slingshot that a half blind Eagle Scout cobbled together from rubber bands and some petrified wood.”
“So we ran the course and not too surprisingly, Karl’s battle rifle outdid the slingshot in pretty much every category. My reload speed on the slingshot was slightly faster than Karl’s, but that was pretty much offset by Karl’s 100 round magazine capacity.”
“That’s true, Ian, the slingshot’s main advantages are its reloading speed, and while it’s true that I’m generally a better shot than you, and that even I was shocked by how the battle rifle outperformed the slingshot even when I tripped and accidentally fired seventeen shots into the air that still landed on their targets with pinpoint accuracy thanks to the extremely meticulous engineering that was funded by DARPA’s black budget, the gap between our scores did close a little bit in the close range portion.”
“Anyway, tune in next time, when I charge Karl’s armored MG3 nest from 5km away using this crudely forged Khyber Pass machete, wearing some dry rotted sandals we found in the bottom of a Vietnam vet’s old footlocker.”
Deep in Khornes realm of Chaos, underneath his throne of skulls is a small -extremely out of place- man door that has no business being there. And when Khorne starts to get uppity and even contemplates reaching for his big ass sword to take care of business, a lone metallic bang will come from that tiny door that will make Khorne sit the fuck down. That’s why he hasn’t gone and fucked shit up himself yet.
On the otherside of that door is a lone Doom Marine and his shotgun reminding Khorne that he will come in there.
Y’know, as much as I like this idea, Khorne would adore Doomguy. Especially the earlier incarnations. Pure weapon combat, no magic, straight up smashing the Argent energy shunts. I mean, please tell me that Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury or of Insensate Rage doesn’t describe our boy.
Remember, Khorne’s also the god of martial prowess, honor, and individual strength. The one that patronizes those that carve the bloodiest swathes through his champions.
