'Queer' is an academic term (queer studies, queer theory, queer theology, queer migration, etc) that is all-encompassing without adding more and more letters to 'LGBT' and makes sure other people aren't just called '+', aka an afterthought. If you're uncomfortable with the label, that's fine, you don't have to call yourself queer, but calling it the 'queer community' is the most inclusive name it has, seeing as 'MOGAI' (marginalised orientations, gender alignment, and intersex) was laughed out of the community for being 'cringe'. I also certainly hope by saying "trying to incorporate "cis hets" into LGBT spaces and movements" you're not talking about our aro/ace siblings, bisexual people in opposite-gender/sex couples, gender non-conforming people, and non-binary + transgender people who lack desire/need to medically transition, people questioning, exploring, and playing with gender/sexuality, and all similar instances... because that's all this reads as. Our community is meant to be a welcoming, inclusive one. That's what the '+', which you neglect to use, for some reason, is for. That's what 'queer' is for.

For clarification, are the EU starting at 'Ebonhawke' as in, 'Stronghold of Ebonhawke' in Fields of Ruin? Probably makes me sound like a total noob haha but I'm not used to referrring to map points in shorthand! Also finally excited to do this this year. I've managed to miss it for the past 3 years like a foooool. I remember seeing screenshots from this in 2019 and I was so touched by its inclusion, especially it being community-led. Already got my trans flag colours on my armor \o/

Second the notion for CC tutorial, I didn't figure that out until I was in the bosses at the end of HoT (which I played after PoF). I feel it'd take the stress off players, new and old, so no one has to yell 'cc cc gogogogo,' and then no one has to ask what that means, while they wait for a response mid-boss.
