I'm gay and this is unacceptable

[joe_schmo]

Why is Larian overloading this game with so much homosexuality? Sure it's nice to have the option but even as a gay guy the overwhelming gay sex flying at me from all directions is a bit much! Do you really think THIS is the best way to represent gay people...ravenous sex fiends willing to bang anything that moves? Way to reinforce the stereotype, thanks a lot!!! Is there no such thing as platonic male friendships anymore? I have plenty of straight friends in real life who I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH! Clearly an unknown concept to Larian! But seriously, do you not realize the majority of the world and hence your consumer base is straight? What the hell is with this trend in gaming? I feel bad for the straight guys out there and I am really sorry y'all have to deal with this current era's ESG bullcrap. Stop with the oversexualized gay representation and stop with straight erasure!!!

"Thanks for confirming everyone who do not believe a single word of what you spat.

Again: no one gay would write such crap.

Everything you wrote is from top to bottom like something written by someone who think they know gay people - no, not even close - you make it a parody even with any additional sentence.

While you try to be ridiculous and funny all you do is ridicule actual gay people, which makes you an accomplice of all the people who surpress freedom of love.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Being gay does not mean to be stupid. But seemingly you think that both means the same. Well, out of both meanings you are certainly not gay.

This thread deserves to be closed sooner than later for the amount of hate speech you try to distribute."


It wouldn't let me quote you....I feel like you only believe in the stereotypes of gay people. I have a friend that is gay that you would never know he was gay until he told you and he is a gamer.

Said no gay person.

And hate to spoil your fantasy, but Andy Bell is openly gay, so no straight Erasure.

I left the "gay community" when I discovered how it lied to me about so many things, trying to keep me in its confines through fear about the world out here, levying codes of conduct that promote stereotypes, and being vehemently intolerant of all variances. I don't have a billboard of my orientation and despise it when anyone else tries to be a billboard for me. I don't need a gay sex scene to identify with a good person. I only mention my orientation now because someone's made it a point of discussion in this thread.

All that stated: I've yet to encounter gay representation in BG3 (which is fine by me). The only established relationships I've seen are hetero. I'd ask where it is, but I suspect it'll involve some spoiler situation.

My character, male, hasn't been propositioned by any male NPC, and I make my character as nice as can be when warranted. Due to a clash of cultures, my character was propositioned by one female NPC, and I declined without the world ending.

I'm wondering how people are stumbling into unwanted romances when I, without any effort, am easily avoiding it by just being nice. (It's a nice change from so many games where simply nice=flirting instead of really flirting=flirting.)

There is no gay representation, all characters are pan. But thanks for more concern trolling.

I'm a "straight acting" gay guy, and yeah, you're full of it. No one I ever knew ever forced anyone into a role.

That's what rightwingers do.

Incidentally, here's a phrase by Matt Cale:

"The further the right, the harder the pillow bite."

I don't know why the OP bothered clearly this community is filled with toxic odious ideologues. Most just act like bully's lacking the substance to do anything but petty name calling. Literally saying a self confessed homosexual is not what he claims because he thinks differently to how you think the gays ought to act is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disgusting and you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. But you wont because you lack self awareness and compassion.

1. You have to go out your way to pursue any of these dialogue options.
2. Can barely get anyone’s approval up high enough by time party happens in act 1 and despite what claiming, almost all, if not all, chars will shoot down your propositions; Regardless of gender.

Creative bait tho, I’ll give you that.

I don't know, I'm somehow more obsessed with seducing female characters. Astarion tried to approach me but was quickly sent away. Of course, I’m only going through the first act so far, but so far I haven’t been particularly bothered by the modern agenda.

Astarion caught me off guard, it was early in the game were you would normally be window shopping. Anyway I was having this conversation with him and found it interesting as he seemed to be high or something. It was a few exchanges before I realised I was digging myself a hole. I shut him down quickly when I realised what was going on. I'm a bit angry with the dev's over that as it seemed I was being tricked into a sexual encounter. And it was a crying shame because my relationship with Astarion doesn't feel the same anymore, cold ;, not friendly.

Are they trying to push us in sex with companions for the data they collect. Is there some incentive we don't understand?

Just not true I got everyone approve up enough by then. Each one had previously hit on me before the party.

goyslop? Sounds like a rightwing Israeli. "Too goy!"

Nope. It's an esoteric, nazi joke. Goy is used ironically.
Within this context it's referring to how these people believe that "wokeness" is some amalgamation of israeli propagana or what the ♥♥♥♥ not. It's nuts, but their whole worldview is, so i don't expect you feel especially suprised.
They haven't really evolved, beyond 2015, it's the same playbook over and over.

"Straight erasure"
Almost had us believing you actually were gay.
