After months of silence, Rocksteady presented this week an extensive preview of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The title generated mixed reactions among gamers, who were both disappointed and impressed by some of the game's details.
One particular element of its world generated controversy on social networks. At one point in the gameplay, it is possible to see an LGBTQ+ flag in the game world, which rightly generated annoyance among some people, just as it happened with Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
Fans criticize Suicide Squad for LGBTQ+ elements
In the gameplay, Harley Quinn is seen exploring the game's attractive and huge world. In one part of the city, a giant Batman mask can be seen and, next to it, a flag of the LGBTQ+ community.
This detail did not go unnoticed by players, who were divided into 2 camps: those who criticized the presence of the flag in the game and those who defended inclusion in video games. The discussion was similar to the one generated by Marvel's Spider-Man 2 recently.
Some gamers were upset and stated that they would no longer buy the title simply because of the flag. Others stated that such an element is out of place in the city and in the game's universe. For this reason, several people believe that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be a "woke game".
On the other hand, several people were fed up with the attitude of certain players, who cannot accept that inclusion and representation is important in all media, including video games.
Some fans who know the title's universe stated that Harley and King Shark are bisexual characters, so the presence of the flag shouldn't be a problem for anyone.
"People are very sensitive and let the smallest things bother them. If it doesn't affect you, why bother so much? There are gay people in this world, leave them alone," said one player.
