I dunno but this belongs in meme entry.
There's more to the story.
A 2007 Runescape thing, OSRS, polls a lot of events. Not all, but a lot. The idea is that the community controls the development. Well, they didn't poll the gay pride event, which made some people annoyed. Another problem is that Runescape is typically devoid of political things like that.
Recently, they added a new mod to the OSRS team that was gay. He promptly got most of the blame for the new event, but it was clarified that the whole team backed the idea.
There have been in-game protests and the subreddit got a bit messy. Lots of calls to poll the event, but if they do now it'll nearly certainly end up on the "Nay" side because of the energy for it and how easy it is to spam online polls.
Definitely could get an entry, might wanna wait a bit possibly for it to develop more.
I also heard that they protested by wearing desert robes, which looks a bit like KKK outfits.
