My heart is set on this.
It just makes sense to add this title, along with "Achillean," because "Sapphic" is already in the game. "We don't need gay label titles" just... isn't relevant anymore

The "Sapphic" title exists. It describes a female who's into females. I like it. It was a kind thing to add to the game~
The "Achillean" title should exist. It describes a male who's into males. I like it. It'd be a kind thing to add to the game~

"Diamoric" is a similar term to those two. It "describe[s] relationships that are neither gay nor straight because of the involvement of at least one nonbinary person [ for example, an NB person + a man in a relationship wouldn't fit as either because their genders are neither "opposite" nor "the same"]. It can also be used for nonbinary individuals who are neither gay nor straight and want to highlight this, or their prioritization of relationships with nonbinary people." (Source)
In case you are confused or unaware about what a nonbinary person is, please click here before asking about it.
How would it be unlocked? I was thinking that doing either of the criteria for unlocking "Sapphic" and "Achillean" would unlock it; whichever you do first unlocks it! I value input about how to unlock it, because I'm not sure about this one! Click to see some other thoughts I had, and feel free to comment on them.

Further clarification about the all of the terms here!

"Diamoric" -- or a related term* -- can be implemented as a title that one can adopt, alongside Sapphic and (hopefully) Achillean!
It'd be a kind thing to add to the game~


If you don't support for reasons other than the ones I already countered in the post below, lemme know! I want to work to make this suggestion optimal~

If you have any questions, see this

*Alternatives to Diamoric: Cypric, Adonian/Adonic, Enbian. The last one is the only one that doesn't have a Greek theme to it




This suggestion has 459 supports and 120 NO supports.

Labels matter a lot to LGBTQ+ people. And they already have "Sapphic", so...

er, i'm sorry but being gay/les/bi/trans/nb/ect isn't....a life style.
i don't think it's so much of a label as a term to describe oneself.

My main argument here is that they already have "Sapphic," which is specifically a label that describes women who love women, whether they're lesbian, bi, pan, etc...

So the whole "we don't need LGBTQ+ label titles" thing is no longer relevant; one already exists. This suggestion evens out the title field. Sapphic, Achillean, and Diamoric-- gay/bi girls, gay/bi boys, gay/bi NBs. This set of three covers the entire field.

Yeah, I don't get why people can't support this? We have Sapphic, so why not the rest? You're not being forced to use the title anyways... and it's a title... it's not being shoved down anyone's throats...

Like I said before, some of the No Support is from people who simply don't like me.

I'm with you, though. I'm hoping there aren't honest-to-god 100 people who don't like me

@Luka Guess what? Some LGBTQ+ people are tired of not having a proper title and are just as tired of having to fight for our rights as you are tired of seeing it. How would you feel if you were denied your rights? We’re just fighting for the right to be called what we want to. It’s not hurting you.

Nonbinary pansexual here urging you to please not think all these no supports are based on hate.
I have medicaly diagnosed ptsd and social anxiety I'm currently being treated for. My heart is pounding and I'm near crying as I type this but I feel it's important. A part of this is due to my very conservative and unaccepting upbringing, combined with pretty much all of my former friends being LGBT like me. I say former because it severely impacted my mental health to contact them in any way as it always led to some kind of confrontation with my family. This stayed a theme even after I distanced those family members and completely changed my social circle. I distance myself as far as possible from this community not because of hate, but because past experiences make me physically ill to the point of panic attacks sometimes.
I started playing Lioden because it allowed me to escape the real world and what was happening. Everything was very vague and up to interpretation, but people were free to talk about themselves and who they were in a casual, friendly, manner. The way it should be.
I didn't think about my family, I didn't think about politics, I didn't think about division, I wasn't bothered by what anyone was saying and there was nothing to bring up any triggers.
Then June comes around and lion pride accents are introduced. This is the tiniest, inoffensive little feather that isn't bothering anyone by existing. However, terrible past experiences come back up. My heart races, I start crying, I can't breathe. I can't even explain to my own mother why I'm so upset because I keep thinking about how I'm a loser baby overreacting to a lion game. I didn't log on for months because this stupid little detail that's not even directed at me and makes a lot of other players happy I somehow let affect me this way.
Titles would make me feel like I'm some sort of special accessory to be flaunted around. We're not fashion items.
I'm know who I am and I know other people exist. I don't need a literal label posted up everywhere to remind me.
It makes me sick to see the division and toxicity I've been avoiding my whole life to invade my safe happy space. Please, please don't assume all the no supports are hateful. There is a person behind the screen and you don't know what they've gone through. I don't want this tiny insignificant thing to turn people against eachother like it already has.

Sounds like internalised homophobia @Jimmie.
Just because it makes you feel that way doesn't mean we shouldn't have something that literally makes 90% of players happy. No one is forcing you to like it. No one is forcing you to use it. If people want it and it makes them happy that's all that matters, right?
Some people get triggered by scars on here, but that doesn't mean you should remove all scars from the site. It's your responsibility to remove yourself from a situation that distresses you. No one is forcing you to use these titles. No one is forcing you to like these titles. All you have to do is think about how happy this would make people who are so underrepresented feel. Please.
There is nothing wrong with this suggestion and if you think there is you need to rethink your values. LGBT people being outspoken isn't hurting you. Our existence shouldn't be stressful to you. If it is, please seek help. I'm not trying to be rude in anyway, I hope you understand.
This is my stance on it. You are allowed to disagree with this suggestion, that's fine! But if your reason is bigotry, it is not a valid reason to dislike something.

I'm cishet and I see no reason why this shouldn't be a thing. It's just a damn title, it literally wont harm anyone by it being implemented into the game??

And these people who go "bla bla it's just a lion sim stop making it about sex!!!"
... do you realise that the sole purpose of this game is to literally have your lions/lionesses gangbang other lions/lionesses, right?

And saying that the LGBTQ+ community is all about sex is just wrong.. because if you're just gonna connect what they do in bed if you know someone's other than straight that says a lot about you :/

Just let people be fucking happy and enjoy things. We straight cis people already have so much, fucking step the fuck down because it doesn't have to be all about us all the damn time.

@Vorc
Unless I'm mistaken, Vinter said that because some people have come forward and said that bullshit when LGBTQ+ suggestions have come out (haha, wordplay...) in the past. That exact thing hasn't been on this thread, yet, thankfully

Also, celebrating 300 Supports. Just 70 less Supports than the Achillean title
As a side note, we have 71 more No Supports than the Achillean title. So about the same number of people have voted on these titles, but Achillean is less ill-received
