shouldn't we list Corrin as a lgbt character in the trivia? 172.56.15.196
We could, but given that it's a rather minor gameplay choice that isn't necessarily going to happen, and it's not really all that notable anyway, I would say no. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 10:08, 17 December 2015 (EST)
1. That's kinda unrelated to Smash Bros. 2. It's a rather minor gameplay choice, ans DatNuttyKid said. also, sign your comments with four tildes (~), not three tildes (~). INoMedssig.png INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 10:10, 17 December 2015 (EST)
there's plenty of articles making a big deal about it, so I really wouldn't call it minor. 172.56.15.196 11:57, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Either way, being gay is not related to Smash Bros in any way. We document Smash Bros, not LGBT trash! No offense, but your excuses are awkward. INoMedssig.png INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 12:11, 17 December 2015 (EST)
it's a first for the series, I think it deserves to be mentioned. It's in no way "trash". 172.56.15.196 12:33, 17 December 2015 (EST)

  1. I was referring to an article here, as I thought you meant the same.
  2. It doesn't really matter, it's not something that goes in the trivia of a page like this.
  3. INoMed, I take offense to that statement.

A character's sexuality in their home game is irrelevant to their Smash appearance. Thus, I don't think it should be included. Berrenta (talk) 12:41, 17 December 2015 (EST)
Just what I was going to say. Either way, we don't need the trivia. DekZek, The Festive Fighter Dekzeksig-Dec.png 12:45, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Before this escalates, and since the point on Bayonetta being the first third-party female character is allowed to stand, I propose that we wait until the DLC comes out and see if either avatar is clearly portrayed as LGBT in Smash Bros. If they are, we can mention the point. If not, there is no need to mention the point at all. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 12:50, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Gender ≠ sexuality. Bayonetta being the first female third party character is important, but frankly, sexuality isn't. AidanzapunkChristmasSig.pngAidan, the Jolly Space WarriorAidanzapunkChristmasSig2.png 12:51, 17 December 2015 (EST)

I think it would be a little more notable if the character was definitely of a different sexuality, since that would be a first for the series. However, given that there's probably a large majority of players that would not have their avatar end up with the same-sex relationships (can't remember their names), and it's overall optional, I'd say it's pretty pointless.

Also keep in mind that any avatar character could indeed be of a different sexuality, as they are a representation of the player, and if a homosexual person were to play the game that character would in turn be the same. The option to pursue such a relationship is not typically included, but it's still a fact (and Animal Crossing and Zelda don't even allow heterosexual relationships, so) ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS!

1. To Nutty: Point pade. 2. To Aidan: sorry. 3. To IP: This is not something that goes into the trivia section of a page. INoMedssig.png INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 13:00, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Last I checked sky Williams (the smasher from Cali) was listed as being gay in the trivia section. Seems we should apply the same here, especially since we have LGBT representation in the game. 172.56.15.196 13:18, 17 December 2015 (EST)

That's a person, not a character. This trivia point is pointless and irrelevant to Corrin in Smash. Come on, guys... Aardvarkian (TalkContributions) 13:25, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Like really, this is as ridiculous as putting a trivia point along the lines of "Ike is the only playable character in Smash who is single but can't mingle in the Fire Emblem series." Aardvarkian (TalkContributions) 13:31, 17 December 2015 (EST)

That would be fine if you could find sources for it, there's sources for this everywhere. Being an avatar or not doesn't matter, commander Shepard is listed as lgbt on his Wikipedia and wiki page because it's possible for a same sex relationship to occur.172.56.15.196 15:05, 17 December 2015 (EST)

And we should follow that because...? Aardvarkian (TalkContributions) 15:08, 17 December 2015 (EST)

I'm not saying we should follow other wiki rules, I'm just giving examples. I feel we should include it because of the overwhelming amount of coverage this has gotten from sources. 172.56.15.196 15:30, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Why does that matter? Also LGBT receives overblown coverage anyways from many sources... Aardvarkian (TalkContributions) 15:45, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Point is, is that this has no business on a Smash wiki. Fire Emblem wiki, yes. But not Smash Aardvarkian (TalkContributions) 15:50, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Look, this is settled. Six users agree it isn't notable, versus one who says it is. End of discussion. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 15:53, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Hopefully one day we can put homophobia past us... 172.56.7.203 14:38, 19 December 2015 (EST)

This isn't homophobia at all. AidanzapunkChristmasSig.pngAidan, the Jolly Space WarriorAidanzapunkChristmasSig2.png 14:40, 19 December 2015 (EST)
First off, Corrin isn't 100% gay, the player can choose what sexuality he is, making his sexuality depend on the player, second, even if he were gay, it's not like there's romantic subplots in Smash, making his sexuality irrelevant to this wiki.
