It's a little walk through some of the F2P area of the game. This isn't some forced content update. It's a fun little virtual stroll. Don't like it, don't take part, you won't miss any important lore or gameplay elements. Practically zero dev time was devoted to this. At most they added some fireworks animations and such that they already had available to them along the route. There is no negative impact on anyone, here. Actually, you can attend it too if you want! Pride Parades don't turn away straight people, you know. So, whoever claimed that this somehow ISN'T inclusive is completely incorrect.
Oh, and, you don't have a "Straight Pride" month or parade because you already have it so easy. Nobody discriminates against straight or cisgender people. Nobody beats or kills people for being straight or cisgender. There aren't any "heterophobic" or "cisphobic" slurs, at least, none that I know of. You can go ANYWHERE without fear of judgment, pain, or death, based on who you are or who you love. Also, a BLM Event could be awesome, as long as Jaggy doesn't try to make a profit off of it. Knowing them, they would.
Look, we don't have real-life Pride Parades this year because of the pandemic. We're trying to make up for that however we can. Let us have our fun. If you want to attend, I would be delighted to walk alongside you through the whole route. If not, that's fine too. Go and grind out your Slayer or Archaeology or whatever it is you want to do. But don't whine about it as if you're inconvenienced. That's just petty, rude, and childish.
