I was honestly meaning to bring that up. My girlfriend looked that up too. I tried to find the source and only found TONS and TONS of conversations going back and forth. Which I guess means that there is at least a strong possibility. But she says there's actual manga and stuff. They just didn't want to make it too blatant overseas due to our close-mindedness and all that jazz

Whether it is actually true or not I'm happy with the idea. Its a breath of fresh air to have that type of character and it not be their sole defining characteristic and be all in your face and bombastic about it. So if it's true then they are one of the best representations in gaming from my experience. Which sadly isn't really a lot of experience with that. But good on them if its true
