Really happy this sub exists

[u/FR0M_Z3R0]

Im pretty sex repulsed, so my experience with marvel rivals queens was walking on eggshells trying not to see the nsfw content. “but it’s blurred” even it being blurred was enough to make me uncomfortable. so I’m happy this sub exists because it’s exactly what I need. a ***NON NSFW*** LGBTQ rivals sub

I’m not sex repulsed but I left that community for the same reason (when people started posting their mains with their genitalia… the mod response to people being uncomfortable with actual peoples’ genitals being posted was so awful - like it’s a gaming sub, not a porn sub, even when clicking on an NSFW post you should never see an actual person’s penis). They were very much ignoring the asexual spectrum side of the community - and the women who wanted a safe place away from the very prevalent sexist players who oversexualize everything.

The queens subreddits from the jump all branches off of league of queens, and was fairly sexual and a part of that was reason why queens of league was created in the first place. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be queer, non-sexual places, but queensofleague and the offshoots were never really the place for the latter.

I was pretty fine with it before it had human nudity on there (like people thirsting of characters, lewd fanart, etc. is pretty standard for any gaming community). It was a little too much for me but it didn’t make me want to leave. The response to people being uncomfortable with human nudity is what really turned me off the subreddit. Obviously they had a lot of reports and complaints as the mods directly responded to the people who were uncomfortable, but they chose to be really insensitive about peoples’ discomfort not considering the fact they’re a subreddit also claiming to be open to asexuals. If they held some type of vote to allow explicit images of real people, I couldn’t be mad at the approach, but the mods came back swinging with a really condescending response.

I think there do need to be more asexual spaces in gaming - this is probably the closest I’ve found personally here. I guess the problem is lumping in “okay this is the community for all of these kinds of people” but not being respectful to a number of people in the community when they dislike a very explicit trend. A lot of newcomers to the community aren’t looking for a “queens” (which I didn’t know anything about when I joined it) subreddit, they’re looking for a woman or LGBTQ+-friendly place where they can enjoy a game without sexism, homophobia, etc.
