Do gay people like how gay this game is?
I imagine that if i was gay, i would still want to get immersed in the world of this game, and i would find it a bit weird that all the companions are so upfront and quickly wants to sleep with you.

It's nice that everyone feels represented, but the game caters too much to the LGBT community to the point that it becomes immersion breaking, and if i was gay it would make me annoyed that the game goes out of its way to make me feel included instead of just presenting an immersive world with beliveable companions that for the most part would require some effort before i could romance.

The game at times feel like a really bad dating sim, that is so afraid of not seeming inclusive to a point where it ruins the believability of the character dynamics.

For me as a straight guy my sexuality means very little, but maybe if you are gay and a minority it becomes a bigger deal, and it's difficult for you to like characters and enjoy their company if they don't want to sleep with you?

I am just trying to understand and see things from a different perspective.

I have seen a couple of gay and bisexual people say that the sheer level of it in this game makes them uncomfortable and portrays them in a bad light, but the moment they open their mouths they get dogpiled as "traitors" by the usual suspects on this forum.

You said "If I was gay" twice, "if you are gay" once and "I am a straigt guy" once. All in the span of three passages.
In my experience you are hiding a secret you dont want to admit to yourself. Hm?

I think you are over analysing, but even if i was secretly gay, it wouldn't really change the point of the post.

Well. As to the point of your post. I dont think the game is overly gay or sexual at all. You can always say no when being hit on, just like in real life.

This is the dumbest thing I have read on the internet today.

Arachnophobic, huh? You must secretly want to romance spiders.

But my friends don't hit on me in real life, and if they did it would be a big deal and drastically change or freindship dynamic.

People need to go outside to experience that though. I belive with a lot of these people... that is a key issue.....

What's the name of that half spider woman from dark souls? Queelag? A ♥♥♥♥ ton of pornography and stuff about her, probably in third place after boobzilla and the trap guy. It wouldn't shock me if this was true.

Just say no when they want to bang you.

It's not that hard.

It really shouldn't bother you. Other than Lae'zel hitting on everything right away, there's nothing especially over the top with the romance cues. It's trivially easy to ignore them and/or only go with the hetero relationships which you're comfortable with.

I think you're LOOKING to be offended.....

Gay men can't say no.
