In Katie Waffles Twitch chat right now just came up the idea of trying to convince Gearbox to make Pride skins for borderlands.
So retweet this and tell your friends because this would be amazing and gearbox is cool enough to maybe do this.

What are pride skins?
I believe it is referring to Gay Pride, with rainbow skins. I think itās that anyways. I might be wrong.
Donāt know if you saw in the news but Gay marriage was legalised in America recently.
I dont know what is Gearbox position related to this now that Burch is out. He was the one who loved to shove homossexuality down our throats.
(see what i did there?)

Maybe Iām missing something here, but why do people want āprideā skins in BL TPS? What does TPS have to do with marriage rights in the US?
As much as st Patrickās day. And game of thrones. And all the other cultural references, parodies, satire, inclusiveness, and social comment throughout borderlands.
Please donāt decide to have a problem with the Pride suggestion if youāre okay with all of the above.

Right, because a symbol of racism has anything to do with those other things.

Iām just going to nip this before it goes any further.
This isnāt a thread to debate the Confederate flag BS.
Personally, just tired of seeing the discussion everywhere. Even places it has no relevance. And itās never a polite one at that.
Keep this about the topic. Nothing else.

Absolutely agree. Thanks Kitty Jo.
As a general thought, itās a little sad to see a few of the responses to a thread for totally hypothetical skins that have little-to-no chance of being created anyway. I guess thatās the Internet for ya.
Well, i dont know your problem with my comment, i didnt say we shouldnāt have a rainbow skin etcā¦
I just said Burch was the one pushing the LGBT matter in the game.
Moxxi being bissexual
Axton being bissexual
Mr Torgue being bissexual
Mr Hammerlock being gay and i dont know what else.
But you can see his opinion in the matter here: http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/1077/inside-the-box-inclusivity
Now, i am not going āHey, iām not playing Axton again because heās a fagā or āMr Torgue was awesome, until he became gayā or something like that. I love Axton and feel bad for him and Zero not getting more attention in the franchise and as playable characters and Mr Torgue is one of the funniest characters in the game, what they do and who they like doesnāt matter for me.
But then we get to Janeyā¦that is basically. āHey look at me, i am lesbian and every other quest i am gonna remind you of that and make remarks about itā
Seriously, Janey is annoying, she talks about girls in every quest, this is what i meant about shoving homossexuality down our throats, no other character in the game comments about girls, boys or relationships the same number of times she does.
For me that is the wrong way to portrait someone, all other characters have a rich background, their sexuality doesnt define who they are, their actions do.

This ādiscussionā has occurred so many times already on these forums and has become incredibly tiresome. If you donāt like it, find another franchise because I seriously doubt BL3 is going to get any better for you.
Glad you took the time to read and understand what i mean.
Oh wait, you didntā¦
What makes me tired is people like you taking the moral high ground and pointing fingers at everyone even when their opinions match in most parts with yours.
FYI in my country āgayā marriage is a legal right since 2011, this is nothing new to me or my friends. BL3 is going to be an amazing game and you donāt have a clue about what makes a game better or worse for me.
If you donāt like my opinion you can go back to tumblr.
I never wanted those in there either. Iāve argued that holiday themed skins donāt belong in the game plenty of times for BL2 and if thereās Game of Thrones skins, I never knew that because Iāve never seen the show but thereās a distinction between skins based off of a television show and skins symbolically representing specific population of humans.
