"Just say no/Just ignore/Just play another game"

[Dragonirian]

When I'm playing D&D and dungeon master starts forcing LGBT content into the campaign - I don't want to stop playing D&D.
I want a different dungeon master.

well, welcome to the world of being a potential love interest for dudes - with some you can't even smile in their general direction without them thinking you're hitting in them and starting to act all creepy and telling you they don't care how someone looks and would bang even a grandma - it's really fun :D

Skimming through the comments, it seems the real issue is players who don't know how to read social queues. Maybe Larian needed to include a D&D flavored Dummy's Guide to Flirting as a preorder bonus. Tasha's Incidental Body Contact Technique? Mordenkaidens Invitation To Drinks?

"Force."

Who's forcing you to play DnD?

Dnd is created by a straight white Male. Dnd is not inherently gay.

No, I have told Gale we are just friends dated shadowheart and his advances keep coming. Besides, what ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ body language? You might be used to talking to dead fish but most are not.

The term 'player-sexual' is a step back in all regards.

Wouldn't it be better to have dedicated straight/gay relationships to persue (or not) and then have the ability to just form friendship with everyone, including the gays if you are hetero or the heteros if you are gay?

Player-sexual means bang 'em or pretend they dont exist.

Not exactly a step forward now is it.

I see I was too vague. Let me offer a more specific tip -> When Gale tells you he has magic fingers, he's not strictly speaking about his mastery of the Arcane arts.

Wow, this is a dumb take.

D&D is whatever each group makes of it. It can be the most gay, LGBT thing on the planet if that is what the group makes it. Or it can be a nightmare with bad players and/or a bad DM where no one is having fun and creepy stuff is being forced in. There are horror stories all over the internet of bad players and bad DM, and some cases bad both ruining the experience for everyone else at the table.

Some groups run nothing but dungeon dive one-shots because they love making powerful characters and don't care about role play at all and just want fun combat against a human opponent. Other groups have multi-year D&D campaigns full of drama, tragedy, heroism and action that is more epic than anything you'll find on tv. Other groups just run dwarven barbarian suicide squad one-shots. (One of my gaming groups does this, lol).

D&D CAN be inherently gay, depending on the players and the DM, and some players or DMs force it onto other people at the table who don't like it and ruin the experience for everyone.

D&D, ultimately, is a group of nerds gathering together to play pretend together one way or another with a set of rules to keep everyone on the same page as they play a game. It can be whatever the group wants it to be.

this can't happen to you in BG3 though, the game gives you warning through very heavy context clues in dialogue that people either ignore or mash through. Reading comprehension is important in this type of game, you need to read what the characters are saying to you.

these people would be just as angry if only half the characters were gay. they don't want any gay characters in these games at all.

No it doesn't.

Gale is the worst at this among the companions.

The writing for leading up to the romance is just not very well implemented so it genuinely does come out of nowhere for a lot of people. There aren't any social ques to pick up on for a lot of people because they weren't engaging in it.

It just happens, and your characters suddenly starts responding and the players have to just watch it happen until the next dialogue option.

It's an issue of writing.

That's definitely a good portion of them but I agree that the characters come across as ridiculously horny regardless of gender or orientation.

The straight romances are the exact same cringe yet all these topics are conveniently focusing on the gay ones.

Not entirely true. Gale's romance is getting completely shoved on some players without warning. I didn't do any of his flirt stuff, I told him "no" when he tried and gave all my attention to Shadowheart. Then suddenly, in Act II I get this random cutscene of him exclaiming how obsessed he is with me, and then in Act III he is shown as my love interest and NPCs (like Withers) are talking about about how I have found somebody "close to my heart." Either Gale's romance flags are bugged, or there is something screwing them up for some players.

This is a case of ad hominem.

No one is saying take homosexuality out of the game, they are saying don't force it into situations they didn't start.

Or they're just that badly designed and this is entirely intentional.
