Twitter buddies, I have a question for you. A while ago I sketched out a game with the following theme: "You're at a fancy party and the lights go out. When they get back on, two people are missing. Who's the couple that sneaked out?"

In terms of rules it's simple. Shuffle the character cards, take two cards face down and place them on the table. A key thing is I don't want the gender to be a factor. At this point there is no art yet, I'm just working with numbers, symbols and names.

I don't know if it would be considered appropriative for a cis male to be working on it. My intent is just to help with diversity and representation. Should I pick it up again?

It's just mechanically, isn't it? As in, the lovers can be anyone, regardless of gender, right? That's really just modeling basic reality; as long as you stay clear of stereotypes (i.e. in the art?) There's also always the option to reach out to (paid) sensitivity readers!

Exactly, the couple can be any combination and even though the first prototype used two gendered head silhouettes, there's no reason to keep using them.
