User blog:HeyTots/Project Pride Edit Marathon

It’s June! You know what that means, it’s a time to celebrate PRIDE! We want to celebrate all of the fantastic, diverse editors and readers we have on the Fandom platform together.

What better way to celebrate than another editing marathon, this time about LGBTQIA+ characters and content! If this sounds like fun to you, dear reader, then read on for the hot details!

Before we go on, though, we want to highlight Wookieepedia Pride: an in-wiki project to highlight LGBTQIA+ characters in the Star Wars universe.

So What's the plan
From Thursday June 3 to Wednesday June 9, we will be leading an effort to organize and focus editors on contributing to LGBTQIA+ wikis. Each community selected has its own specific needs, but the project’s focus is to have fun and collaboratively edit.

How Do I Get Involved?
That’s the easy part! Hop over to our dedicated Discord server and sign up! You’re welcome to work on as many or as few wikis as you have time and interest. There are jobs big and small, so there’s something to do for everyone. Don’t worry about your skill level; we would love to include you and help you.

What Communities Are You Editing?
Revolutionary Girl Utena



Character: Utena Tenjou

Why are they a role model: Utena is the one of the bisexual female leads of this dark, magical story. The anime was released in 1997 and was considered to be ahead of its time. Utena is a character who ignores her expected gender role and fights to be free, living the way that is best for her.

Brookyln Nine-Nine



Character: Raymond Holt

Why are they a role model: For Raymond Holt, sexuality is portrayed as one aspect of this complex character, but Brooklyn 99 does not shy away from commenting on Raymond’s struggles as a black, gay cop. Viewers are able to see both Raymond’s past as well as his loving relationship with his husband, Kevin.

Bugsnax



Character: Chandlo Funkbun and Snorpy Fizzlebean

Celeste



Character: Madeline

Why are they a role model: At first blush, Celeste is about a young woman dealing with anxiety and mental health issues as she climbs a mountain that further symbolizes her struggles. However, when game director Maddy Thorsen confirmed that the main character Madeline was trans, much of the game was recontextualized for players, and the overcoming of her struggles given newfound meaning.

Nier



Character: Kainé (intersex)

Why are they a role model: As a child, Kainé was made an outcast by her village due to her intersex condition, and later because she was possessed by a demon. As an adult, her choice of clothing forces those around her to acknowledge that she’s a woman, and denotes her hard-earned confidence. With a crass demeanor and unshakable will, Kainé learns to accept the love and admiration of those around her and reciprocate those feelings during the events of the Nier game.
