Why the LGBT stuff?

[Abaddon the Despoiler]

Seems like when a big title is released, the forums are filled with LGBT crap about hundreds of genders and people being transphobes if they don't agree. Why?

How is all the LGBT promotion linked to gaming?

I'm sure we needed yet another one of these threads...

you cant answer that on mainstream sites without suffering consequences.

people cant separate reality from gaming. they want real world topics pushed into every entertainment they come across like movies, shows, anime, gaming, their work environments, politics, everything. some of their whole personalities are developing into cult like behaviors.

What is to disagree with exactly?

Why LGBT exists is because we're not a mythical creature. RPGs are often tools for people to escapism in whatever role they want and gay people usually like to play as a gay person. Its not some conspiracy its called accepting reality

To see how many insecure conservatives will ask.

It is not. There is hardly any LGBT stuff in the game. There is some but all of it is avoidable.

I have nothing against lgbt people, but its quite excessive how they need to feel represented in everything that exist :p

I love my gay and trans friends, but even they think its excessive. They actually avoid the community for its cult like obsessiveness.

I play male characters, female characters and animal characters. It's not because I'm a cross dressing furry, it's because identifying as the main character is not important.

Like you said, it's an escape from reality. What's the point of your going to make it your reality?

who cares play what you want and let others do so two

[PlasteredDragon]

If it was only hetero relationships in the game, would you be in here asking "Why all the hetero stuff?"

The answer to your question is -- everybody ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everybody is a D&D trope since the game has historically been played by horny teenagers and ppl who don't socialize well.

The game doesn't pretend that same-sex relations and trans people don't exist.

Deal.

The same reason heterosexual men play heterosexual men trying to collect a harem of women

Sounds to me people that are 'anti woke' are pushing theyr agenda on these forums when the game isnt even woke.

I disagree and agree

I disagree BG3 is excessive I have yet encountered gay npcs beyond Asterion. I do agree mandatory diversity quotas are often bad
