Why isn't this tagged LGBT and "sexual content"?

[OyajiBR☕]

Serious question, I'm not mocking the game, but the target-public clearly is LGBT and sex enjoyers, so the description should include the tags LGBT and sexual content, right? That would avoid a lot of confusion. I've seen Japanese games with far softer content being tagged LGBT because ONE character who doesn't hit on the player is gay or "sexual content" because anime girls appear in bikini. But Baldur's Gate 3 has many NPCs hitting on the player and realistic characters having sex with a bear (where I come from it's zoophilia).

EDIT: those who call me "bigot", chill, I just said the game is gay (at least it seems to be), not that I hate it. FYI I'm playing Tell Me Why (the novel about a trans guy and his sister), it's a cool suspense and I don't think it's "woke". More balance, less drama.

*And thanks for the clown marks, I need some Steam points.

So many children chocked about the sex in the game, and the queer people not being hidden or shamed. Grow the fukc up, or go back play mario kart.

The game does not revolve around that, does not talk about the theme explicitly. This is a crpg, sir, I think you got confused?

[Metroid]

Why even care? how about you stop trying to make video games worse, ok....

Probably because it's player-sexual. The players choose the romance interest. Just the same, I'm sure that users have added the tag to this game, myself included.

From google search:
Applying Tags

"As the developer of a game, you can define its tags using the Steamworks Tag Wizard, which you'll find in your game's Store Presence / Edit Store Page / Basic Info section, under Tags."

Meaning, that users cannot add tags to this game. Only developers of the game.

because it isnt anything useful its him crying to cry and complain because oh no it could have a gay character and he dont like that. well then his stupid ass doesnt need to romance them. its his own choice to be a dumbass. anything said to him he has coming for starting a dumbass post like this

I think the general consensus is that it's a good game overall, but that certain aspects of the relationships were poorly handled. Everyone wants to have a go at you if you're simply polite to them even...

A devil, a mindflayer, and a druid shapeshifted into a bear. And yes, a gay vampire, even that last one is a stereotype, and not a very nice one.

That's not the only reason. There are similar games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age also tagged for sexual content. Lost Ark is tagged for sexual content. The real answer is because not enough people have marked it for sexual content. And probably not enough have marked it since it's not really a focus at all in the game but that may change once enough people tag it for sexual content.

yall be dumb af not bothering to look at the store page it literally has sexual content and nudity tags and has had them

Well why don't you get on the phone and ask the CEO that....because nobody here
has that answer....

Are you referring to the scene of Astarion romancing Halsin? Because all the characters seem to be bisexual for the most part just so the player can live out their own fantasy game in their own personal way. It isn't a strictly LGBT game where it elevates one sexuality style over the other, it just leaves it open ended so it can appeal to the largest audience possible. Its a smart marketing move if you ask me.

Play the game how you want whether you want to be gay or straight or avoid romance altogether. Its your game, you bought it, play it how you wish.

People play games for fun. One of the biggest complaints since bioware introduced romance was gating characters. Sometimes people want a lesbo couple or other such things. Cyberpunk did this with Panam. It's honestly annoying for people who just want to play their fantasy and their way.

Who cares. Let the player choose.

Or, you can say it as you see it. Bad writing. Could have made them some of them straight, some of them gay, and some of them bi,so what you choose your character to be actually matters more, and you can't romance everybody as anybody . And the characters won't be as shallow. Quite Simple actually.

your stupid as ♥♥♥♥ when that was done in older games players ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because they coudnt wind up romancing who they wanted as they wanted. if u dont want your companion going after a same sec then dont do it. not that damn hard, stop trying to blame other people for problems your making up

LGBT ideology is based on sexual fettish ♥♥♥♥. That's all it is, that's all it wants and it wants to flap it in you and your children's faces.

truly clown behavior here.

people just wanna be champ, its not an "ideology"

once again trying to play everything on the lgbt for what is ultimately just a weird design choice(making it too easy to reach romance) is just silly.

[NoobLord]

When I see ingame "body type" and 8/10 of random male characters looks like ugly trans - this is literally current LGBT agenda. I hope in future game developers will use DLC for "non-binary buyers". Or at least make DLC for ordinary people.

Nah, users can add tags. Devs just also have the ability to filter them.

Legit. I think part of the fetish is trying to force said preferences upon anyone and everyone they can.
