Rivet Is A Lesbian And My Psychic Gay Ass Was Right All Along

thegamer.com:

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a wonderful game. Not only is it a visual showcase for the PS5, it’s a confidently brilliant platformer in its own right that brings the beloved series back into the limelight. Hardcore fans were able to revisit all of their favourite characters while newcomers weren’t left out in the cold.

It felt fresh, even if its gameplay conventions remained dedicated to the past that made its very existence possible. But beyond all of its exciting new ideas and gorgeous graphics, one facet of the experience stood out above all the rest - Rivet. Introduced as a gender swapped version of Ratchet from an alternate dimension, she was immediately hailed as a fun, spunky, and unintentionally inclusive heroine who many hope will become a series’ mainstay.

Now, it’s been confirmed by one of the game’s original writers that Rivet is canonically a lesbian. Yep, a random theory I posed several months ago has come true, because there is no way a girl can be that much of a good mechanic, dress that well, and be that charming and not be a lesbian. We sapphics have a sixth sense for this kind of thing I promise.

This revelation comes from former lead writer Sam Maggs, whose work on Rift Apart went uncredited despite her playing a major role in creating Rivet’s character, coming up with her name, and ensuring she didn’t fall to victim to tiresome tropes with oversexualization and falling head over heels for male characters. Given she is Ratchet from a different universe that would be weird selfcest shenanigans anyway, so thank goodness that was nixed.
