Yeah, i'll admit I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that, like, some people have been making mods like for games, turning PoC into "more pretty" white characters or for a specific example, the turning Dorian Pavus from DAI straight mods. On one hand I would never want those mods myself nor do I really see the need for them, but... it's someone else's game they paid for and it's not like installing it on your computer changes how it works for anyone else.

Though I do see that when there's "treatment camps" things to turn gay people straight or bleaching products for dark skin why people would strongly object to those mods.

The only Dorian mod I know of makes him bi. Not straight though.

But the mods and conversion therapy aren't even in the same sphere of existence.

Okay... I think it's incredibly important that Dorian is a canonically gay male character and he's hugely popular and actually written like a real human being. That's wonderful and I love him for it.

But absolutely no one is harmed if someone writes a fanfic where he falls for a girl. No one is hurt if they get his skin tone wrong in a piece of fanart. His portrayal in fan works does not touch his impact as a mainstream gay male character in a hugely popular video game.

Fanworks are supposed to be about expressing yourself. I see literally no difference between someone taking a canonically straight character and making them bi or gay and someone taking a canonically gay character and making them bi or straight. The conversion harms no one in either direction.

This. I'm gay and even I have a couple of ships involving a canonically gay character and a straight character. If I think characters have good chemistry together, I'll probably ship it; it doesn't mean I think it would be a good idea for it to happen in canon. I also find the idea of comparing dumb, trivial fandom stuff to fucking conversion therapy really offensive tbh. Get a goddamn grip, people.
