Logamuffin Posted May 30 (edited) Pride Month is fast approaching and I was wondering if there are any pride/LGBTQ themed Doom wads that y'all would recommend? I know the Doom community has a lot of queer/trans members (at least from what I've seen), so I'm hoping for some wads that reflect that, with rainbows and bright pride flag-like colors hopefully. I googled, but I haven't been able to find much, but I'm hoping for some I swear, if there hasn't been a pride themed community project already, someone needs to get on that.

Baron T. Mueriach Posted May 30 How about you get on it. I doubt anyone would exert energy into trying to make an ugly MEGAWAD full of bright rainbow themed textures. This isn't a dunk on gays, either, but a WAD solely based off of bright pride flag colors would just be eye cancer. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

I think it's pretty. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post

It looks like a Doom adaptation of Super Mario 64's Rainbow Ride course. I find it God-awful but that's just my opinion. Edited May 30 by Baron T. Mueriach 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
WASFDDDDD Posted May 30 (edited) I don't really like the tradition of slapping rainbows on everything during Pride Month. It's just the kind of thing executives do to appeal to people like me, without really understanding or caring about the meaning behind it. The colors on the pride flag mean something, the colors plastered on the Apple logo from June 1st to July 1st do not That's just a personal preference though, I understand there are people who do that genuinely I always just thought that generally being accepting was enough. No one should feel forced to make a big show out of something if they're not passionate about it, and honestly it's usually better to let us tell our own stories anyways. Then you'll have more time to tell yours Edited May 30 by WASFDDDDD 6 Quote Share this post Link to post
DankMetal Posted May 30 There's a hidden trans flag in map 13 of Amalgoom, does that count? Talking seriously tho, it would be cool to see a pride centered wad made by queer people, not necessarily made with exclusively flag or colorful textures, but just a cute and gay little set of maps would be enough for me 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

ALilGrayBoi Posted May 30 How do you even make a pride themed wad? I could see a community project with lgbt members but not an actual lgbt wad. Would it be a map with a color palette of 5 rainbow colors? I don’t mean to offend anyone I’m just genuinely curious 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

No-Man Baugh Posted May 30 (edited) Off the top of my head there's a submissions for RAMP2023: MAP 197 "I Only Wish To Be Safe" by Engired. A map that flies a good bunch of pride flag colors in stark white void rooms and hosts tough as nails fights Edited May 30 by No-Man Baugh 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Andromeda Posted May 30 (edited) There was one a few years ago that even had Romero's blessing but it ended up dying out (maybe? can't remember). Edited May 30 by Andromeda 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
