Are you serious? Why is this needed?

If you want to be gay that’s fine but leave the game alone ffs.

RuneScape should remain a neutral game.

Well it worked well on oldschool.. lol


Yep, I agree with Erifursas. This Pride Event is not going to be as smooth as Jagex wants it to be. Like the OSRS Pride Event, this is going to draw a lot of unwanted attention to Runescape.

The event is about inclusivity.

It's a community event at one location, at one time, on one date.

If you don't want to go, don't go. If you do want to go, go.


Simples.

Uhh, well wheres the straight pride events then?

If you want to talk about "being inclusive" you cant have events for one group and none of the others.

Cant show favoritism after all.

Also where the BLM events as you need to show "pride" for them as well /s

Hi Draco.

I don't want to turn this into a flame war, nor do I want to force any view point on anybody.

Pride events are about allowing people to be able to feel comfortable in the community they are in. Given how uncomfortable many people have been throughout years of oppression and shame, I don't think it's amiss to allow such events to occur.

Of course, if you believe these people don't deserve such an event then that's your opinion and you are allowed to have that opinion.

As for a Black Lives Matter event, that's a great idea! I'm sure we could see something in support of this movement in due course.

And if you think you need a Straight Pride event, then go ahead and organise one. Nobody's going to stop you.

There was a Pride Event....?!?! When was this...?
Here's the info from the "Game Update: Yak to the Shadows" newspost.


Community Pride 2020 Event
June is LGBT+ Pride month, and to celebrate, RuneScape’s LGBT+ community have teamed up with the J-Mods to bring you RuneScape’s first ever Pride parade!

Everyone is welcome to walk in the parade – or if you prefer, you can just cheer from the sidelines. Bring your most fabulous fashionscape to Lumbridge Castle Courtyard, World 23 at 17:00 Game Time on Thursday June 25th to join in the fun.

J-Mods and P-Mods will be in attendance. If you’re lucky enough, you might receive a special letter from a J-Mod, which will let you show your support in style! There’ll also be balloon drops and fireworks along the route.

The parade route is as follows:

Start at Lumbridge Courtyard at 17:00 Game Time
Follow the path west to Draynor
Go through Port Sarim
Go through the southern gate of Falador
Take a break in Falador Square
Leave through the northern gate of Falador
Follow the path east to Barbarian Village
Enter through the western gate of Varrock
End in Varrock Square
We’d like to thank our community for coming up with this amazing idea. If you’ve thought of a great event you’d like the J-Mods to help run in the future, let us know in the official forums.

I for one am happy for events like those, Other games don't remain nuetral either.

This is for support and nothing else, they aren't forcing anything, Ignore it, it doesn't bother anyone.
