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!!!

bruh its impossible to please everyone. you either go with a ton of gays and get people like this, or not enough gays and then questions of "where is the representation??" lol pick your poison. imo, and i have played the game yet, but have played fable 2 where like 25% of NPCS are lesbian/bi/gay i was fine with it. dont know how it's done in this game yet tho. someone be a lad and buy it for me!!!! lol!! i dont got $60 to spend myself lol

there is so much gay scenes so you become hetero xD

boooo talk about ruining the fun

I have not noticed gay content until I've reach Lower City and there are several gay/lesbian couples.

Or I've been playing this game wrong, because no sex scene so far.

Only 2 NPC couples in this game are confirmed gay.

Extremely false, which is unsurprising, considering that's all you people ever say.

Just from the top of my head:
Deep gnomes husbands
Tiefling bard and her gf
Aylin and Isobel
Nafula and Sasha
Gondian Lowa and her wife

And there are plenty more, sugar, so quit your bs, ok?

Gotta love the hyperbole of the terminally online. Quit your bs, ok?

Also anime pfp of Astolfo, who is gay. Opinion discarded.

Straight and I've not run into the stuff people keep crying about. It's pretty clear when the options come up and I can just not select them.

Keep your stupid politics out of the forums please. I'd like to come here and see gameplay related posts. Not culture war garbage. Keep that stuff on twitter where it belongs please.

Pretty sure the only prerequisite for being gay is same sex attraction. Naaaah, probably a troll. Couldn't possibly be one of those gays that thinks for themselves. Free thinking gays went extinct when that giant cheese puff came to town. We all know that.

Go on, Oracle of the gays. Tell us what the great gay hive mind thinks.

i would say they just arent in community with gay ppl. im not surprised when ppl try to claim pickmes arent gay. i'd rather be deviant than obnoxious.

Man this discussion went to hell real quick.

[neock]

anouther troll to block it seems

[Sora]

Yeah I think this discussion needs either locked or reported. Seems people don't know how to talk to one another.

Yes, honey, so am I. Still getting used to seeing actual gay people outside of your collectivist cult?

Completely agreed!

[Beautiful Ham Sandwich]

Calling it straight erasure makes me doubt literally everything you said, what gay person would unironically say that when the point was poor representation? Not to mention mentioning the bit about the majority being straight and also having that in the same post as talking about gay representation is absolutely not something I've ever seen.

Also no, the game isn't overloading you with homosexuality, it's overloading you with sexuality, there's a big difference. It'd only be overloading you with homosexuality if things were different had you picked a different gender. Making this specifically about homosexuality is incredibly telling.

We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding.
