People have different preferences in what they want in a game. For some, proper representation matters a lot more. With blacks, women and LGBTQ often treated poorly (or not being represented at all) in the media having a well written character who happens to be a gay, woman or a minority (or all of them) can uplifting and inspiring to the viewer to the point where they appreciate the creator for being thoughtful and respectful of them.

I'm glad Anthem continues this representation, especially with no PC romances-it would have been easy to sidestep the concept altogether.

They represent people of all types. There's decades worth of games with all straight, white, ripped, hot characters if that's what floats your boat, but video gaming has has moved on. This is clearly a difficult topic for you, there are hundreds of other threads you might find to be safer, more comfortable spaces with no LGBTQA people to trigger you. Yeah what you call ‘trigger’ I call seeing someone with a different opinion to mine. I know that’s a difficult concept for someone who lives inside an Internet echo chamber but it’s OK, once you’ve come back out of your panic room you’ll survive just enough to tweet about it later. Yet you are the one most triggered about your shit opinions, which I find deliciously ironic and mostly pathetic. |

Pretty sure Matthias is bi. He had a thing with Aruna, but also comments (at least Matti does) on liking Vule's appearance in his uniform. Sev also remarks that Matthias is "nice to look at," so there's that. So does that mean Mathias was a bi man who was split into a hetero man (Sumner), homo man (Matti), and asexual man (Erryl)? I mean Matti and Sumner could just be bi, but Erryl has that whole “pure intellect, only knowledge matters” thing. I think they're all still bi. The split just divided their personality but their old traits and experiences are still there. Maybe their new personality would affect how each Matthias reflects on their experiences, both in the past and going forward (like Erryl focusing more on accruing knowledge than the others), but I don't think something like their sexuality would change from the split.

Unless Bio brings that up in the future i suppose we will never know for sure how sexuality works for the three of them now that they split.
I do tend to agree with the notion their sexual preferences also got divided between the three Mathiases.
