hi, i'm bailey, and this is a blog about nothing in particular.

Listen its easy to make fun of borderlands for all the outdated memes and cheesy jokes but you’ve really gotta hand it to them for the lgbtq+ rep. they throw in random tidbits about characters being queer without making it a huge Thing, both moxxi and sir hammerlock have missions where they’ll say “this person is my ex girl/boyfriend” and its not a big deal, theres an ace character who’s explicitly ace coded, gnc and not-conventionally-attractive characters (especially women!) who are just Like That and it’s not a punchline. They make mistakes, but they fix them - apologising for getting zer0’s pronouns wrong in Tales ; hell, making axton bi after people complained about That One Voiceline was such a fuckin power move. Borderlands isn’t perfect but they gave me a game where I can play as a space lesbian with a magic shield who is simultaneously a total badass but also gets completely flustered whenever a cute girl comms her and you’ll pry that from my cold dead queer hands
