Why are people so mad/surprised?? A world set a couple centuries ahead of our would more than likely be fine with things we're still stupidly hung up on.
Ikora is a woman of color as a Vanguard. She kicked Shaxx's arse in the Crucible, reinvented how we think about circles AND has an information network dedicated to lurking in shadows. Not to mention she's a Warlock, a class not really [i]meant[/i] for battle. And SOMEHOW managed to do a double Nova Bomb during the invasion.
Suraya leads an entire commune without even asking the City for help. She even knocks Zavala down a peg by pointing out she's not afraid even though she never had Light. Later, Zavala even acknowledged her skill by calling her "Guardian"
Ana was/is a scientist who worked on some of the biggest innovations of the Golden Age. She earned Shaxx's respect by creating pools of light via GG at Twilight Gap. When Zavala told her to be more concerned with Tower affairs, she faked her death so she could do as she saw fit.
Face it, women in Destiny are tough as nails and are blatantly unapologetic about it. If you're gonna whine that Ana isn't straight, that's a you problem.

Edited by Astartes Marine: 6/23/2018 11:11:18 PMHer being lesbian is not the problem. Hell it's not even [i]a[/i] problem. The problem is that with the Warmind subject in general there's a whole lot more they [i]could[/i] be telling, instead they're confining the plot to a minor event that's not even really relevant. Bigger things [i]could[/i] have been touched on like: -The history of the Warmind project and how extensive Rasputin's network was and is -The exploits of Ana Bray, like how she earned her reputation at Twilight Gap (which was given a laughably small amount of coverage in the latest issue) -The history of the Clovis-Bray corporation and their involvement with the Warmind project -Just what Rasputin has been doing all this time -Rasputin's first engagements against Xol and Nokris that raged on for so long that Rasputin was forced to put the whole region into a deep freeze just to end it Expectations were not met, and the relationship isn't even written in a compelling way. Seriously the one page in each issue from Rasputin's point of view is the most interesting part.😒
