To my mind, you hadn't previously established Natalie as uncomfortable with gay relationships or even mentioned it in a Board discussion, so it kinda came out of left field.

You're right in that it's interesting, if only because most of the rest of us have no problem with gay people. Is it just male/male pairings that set her on edge?

I stand by my gut reaction: it's not realistic to expect each and every PPC staffer to be tolerant of gay people, so there shouldn't be a problem with Natalie being homophobic. Further, and frankly: "it's an interesting trait" is a legit reason when it comes to experimentation with characters — I made the Librarian racist just because, and if that's nothing to complain about, then neither is Natalie's homophobia. To address the marginalisation point, I'd like to say that homophobia can be a marginal trait of a character, just like every other trait. Not all people will make it or have it made central to their character and I don't think it's realistic to expect that to be the case here.

Aside from this whole thing:
-There's a weird grey thing in the background that makes the mission a bit hard to read.
-The execution scene is well-written, in my opinion.
-I like the shout out title.

After all, with those hundreds, if not thousands of agents and staff members active, what chances are that all of them would have the same, or similar, tolerant believes and practices?

But I believe what people mean is that you throw this just like that out of nowhere: "Oh yes, she's homophobic, I didn't mention?", as if it wasn't a big deal. I know it's not the first time this was brought up (For the reference here's Natalie's wiki page and this mission where it's mention), but it looks like you are marginalizing something that is a serious issue to a large group of people here, myself included.

I'm sure nobody is gonna shun you because of that, and if you have an idea how Natalie would resolve this problem of hers - good for you. If you don't have anything important connected to that, now you've got something to think about.

The PPC, both in and out of universe, has a higher-than-average number of people who are LGTBQ. Throwing in a homophobic agent because it would be "interesting" comes across as kind of... hm, what would be a good analogy? Not unlike throwing Donald Trump into a Mexican mosque just to see what happens.

Of course, it all depends on how you handle it, but including it "just because" comes off kind of the wrong way.
