Why are all male characters homosexuals?
Very spoils the impression of the game. I don't mind if someone, due to the peculiarities of their psyche, wants such a relationship. But why stuff it literally at every step and literally impose it?

I just have to remove many male companions, because they become unpleasant to me. Where I would like to have just friendship, various perversions will necessarily be imposed on me.

Cause your PC is a dude. If you play a girl, all the chicks are gay.

If you play a female they will all be straight xept the girls. They will want a taste of that taco.

It would still be a you problem if you are unable to have any gay friends.

His issue like everyone else' is that his friends are flirting with him because he agreed to enough righteous quests. Or that the characters by having no sexuality have lost the potential for being unique or defined in any way. Its bad writing, new vegas is constantly praised because they wrote all their characters to have a sexuality and also that it only comes out if your character is clued into it.

Arcade ganon isnt "the gay one" unless your character is a man with the gay perk. Because he has a personality and goals beyond that.

They also went out of their way to make sure all male characters are flamboyant and all female characters are grumpy, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ butch warriors. So these characters dont even appeal to 97% of players. So the only players with satisfying romance options are homosexuals since the male characters are also far more likeable and personable.

Good grief, just have your toon shut them down with a negative conversation choice. Also, being LGBTQ+ is not a "perversion", any more than being heterosexual is. How about you stop imposing your heterosexual choices on everyone? Learn to live and let live; make your own choices and let others make theirs WITHOUT JUDGEMENT.

TIL bisexuality is not a sexuality. Good to know. What should I call myself, then?

You're right. This is politics. Alas.
Although they have a good example of how to make a game out of a game, without any attempts to stuff the players with something else.
I mean DOS2

They don't have the same religions as us and so it was never demonized by people wanting to control the sex lives of strangers

They're not bisexual, their sexuality is a transient status entirely dependent on the player. Thus they are not a character in their own right but only as they relate to another's existence. They don't flirt with other companions, as someone already posted they are player-sexual.

This.

No one's complaining that the characters can POSSIBLY be gay, it's just that you are forced into it if you try to be friendly with them

I have not had any issues perhaps if you stop flirting with then you'll not too.

Its functionally unviable, basically if you're anything but straight, in nature's eyes you're defective.

Having a population that has the potential to have gay children is a huge evolutionary advantage, so in "nature's eye" as you laughably put it I is not defective at all.
