[up] The teams (or at least the partners like Blake and Yang and so on) were formed essentially by random chance however (okay not fully random, but sexual orientation would not be a factor in determining somebody's landing strategy), not by any active decision on the part of the members.

Fair enough.

Though I maintain the fact that fictional works do not need to match up with actual global statistics, especially since it's hard to measure how true they are due to the many LGBT folk that are suppressing their sexuality due to religion/culture/whatever.

I don't think that a majority needs to be LGBT, but I think having at least a few characters being LGBT would be nice.

Or, you know, Beacon, like many high schools/academies, actually has a large LGTB community. Because seriously, I dunno if this is normal, but literally about a third of my 1,200 person high school was in that grouping.

Seriously though. If we go by Beacon's size, it looks like it could have several thousand students because of how big the place is. 3 LGTBQ(insert the other thirty letters here) people in a group of eight may seem like a lot, yes, but not really.

"because then it would give hope to people and that simply cannot be"

Non-sense, remenber what nitzche said: hope is one of the worst evil, as it prolonge the suffering of men.

But Ren being homosexual would look like a cop put about Nora instead of the simple truth, he dosent feel the same

[up][up][up] It's more that, beyond a certain point, it becomes increasingly hard to believe that a randomly selected group of people has that many people of an LGBT orientation when the percentage in the general population is less than 5%; each additional character literally drops the probability of the arrangement being due to random chance exponentially.

[up][up] It's a lot to have in a group of 8 people that are selected from the school's population at random; based on the prevalence of LGBT in the general human population, there's about a 1/3 chance that there would be one LGBT individual in the sample; those aren't unreasonably low odds, and neither is the 1/9 you get if there's two, but it cross the 95% confidence threshold when you add a third, which is traditionally the point at which you conclude the arrangement is not due to chance. Now, you can and will get strange results like this occasionally when doing sampling (which is why you run multiple samples), so it's nothing to get outraged over, just something that makes me raise my eyebrow.

That said, I appreciate that most people don't think of representation in terms of demography/statistics; I do because, for me, it feels like the only way to be remotely objective about this sort of thing; theoretically, Positive Discrimination should be looked down upon just as much as its reverse.

It would be one of those details that really tells you what Cinder's all about.

[up][up][up]Studies are also kind of bull, because some people don't realize their sexuality until later in life. Hell, I'm 21 and I only realized I was bisexual last summer. [lol]

No, the real ridiculous thing would be Everyone Is Bi [lol]

[up] Statistics and studies are most certainly not "bull" when they're done correctly. There's always a margin of error, but the larger your sample and the greater the number of corroborating studies, the tighter that margin becomes.

Bullshit, your sexuality won't affect your landing strategy.

We will see the most fabulous landing ever. Like a goddamn angelic peacock, descending from on high.

And everyone will know that I am the straightest mofo around, and I will just drown in-

Okay so I've been checking around the internet after everyone has gone through the 5 stages of episode 12 grief and I noticed Jaune is getting hit with flak again. What did he do (or not do) this time?

Every one is going on LGTB character, and I am here wondering if any character will be confirmed to be aromantic.

I'm thinking that the Dragon is the reason everyone in Mountain Glenn died. He started out small, but ate his way up through the ranks, and went into sleep mode after he nommed everyone. Otherwise, I'm curious to know what the "subterranean" Grimm look like. Are they like the surface Grimm, or are they a collection of cave-dwellers?

[up]I agree with that... Oh no, Lancaster wont happen... She'll have a OT3 with Crescent Rose and Crocea Mors.

@mega-dark: Because with Pyrrha dead, Lancaster is starting to look like a distinct possibility, and shipping fans be crazy.

Or they're blaming Jaune for Pyrrha's death. Because you know, he totally could have helped Pyrrha beat Cinder.

.... Actually, now that I think of it, Pyrrha was able to keep pace with Cinder, so technically a 2v1 would have likely beaten Cinder.

If only Ruby got there faster.

Cowards jumped ship. I stayed with Arkos and became a fishwoman (PD: I'm a dude)

My backup ship was Nuts and dolts....it could still happen

And yes, the only plausible ship would be Ruby and CR all the way
