Injustice 2 Mobile holds a pride month event where you...have to beat up an LGBT character. (Update: Apology Issued)

Haha.. this'd be funny as hell if it wasn't so sad that the, most likely, straight white male that signed off on this didn't have the mental capacity to figure out that this is kinda... not great.
The first half of the thread title had me clicking on it hoping they fix ally did the right thing and added Batwoman.
Them I stopped read it, read the op and the only thing I can wonder isn't even the stupidity of the event but more so how it possibly got through multiple people with no one realizing it was a bad idea.

I was going to say that Injustice 2 console version events are just repeating themselves for the past few years, so I thought this was just a bad chance that happened.
But nope lol completely on purpose for this version, wtf

The timing of Bo Burnham's special that included the Social Brandon Consultant is so spot-on it hurts this month.
That's not just tone deaf. That's thinly veiled incitement for violence against a group that faces regular discrimination, backed by a corporate sponsor. I'd strongly encourage reporting the tweet to bring this to Twitter's attention and demand some accountability.
It's super tone-deaf but I really don't think it was made as "YEAH FUCK LGBT GO OUT THERE AND BEAT THEM"
They most likely didn't think this through at all

Considering this version of Injustice 2 has team based gameplay, the challenge could've been getting wins as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy or something. But no, this is the shit they decide to do instead.
That's the problem. No thinks it was intentional, but the fact they didn't think this looked bad is troubling.
Yeah, I don't believe that someone at NetherRealm didn't know what they were doing here.
Nor person in any underrepresented group.... nor ally to any such group... who the hell works at Netherealm?
This probably wouldn't have happened if an LGBT person had a say but this is still inexcusable, you legit either did this on purpose or you're an idiot. Doesn't matter if you're straight or not, no excuse.
bruh i feel like it's obviously just stupidity on the part of people in the company
Yeah, everyone with a Twitter account should probably get the ear of WB Games/NRS, if they care.
I'm really struggling to see how this event could be possitive at all... it's honestly absurd, lol.
Right?
I came in thinking this wasn't specifically tied to pride and you just happened to be fighting a LGBT villain during Pride month. In that instance, I would've said this isn't newsworthy.
....But wow. They TIED it to pride themselves? WHYYYYYY?

This is such a clear and obvious fuck up that would take any queer person less than five seconds to shut down, so clearly some straight white guy went "yeah, let's run with it!"
I admittedly had no idea.
I thought it was only characters from the Console game in the mobile version, I stand corrected.
Thank you for that.
