Why out of the blue push a LGBT agenda?

[Boomaye]

First 30 minutes into gameplay, out of nowhere, discussing how the party of SOLDIERS got from 8 to 2 "the lieutenant was attacked with a sling, his boyfriend intervened, both died", "jumping in to save a man like that..."
this is poor writting and the reason i am not even bothering to continue playing or will consider to buy this.

in answer to "Rhapsody": not at all
it is out of context and added for no simple reason other than to say "he was gay".
Imagine you go buy groceries and the male cashier tells you "thanks. After my shift i will meet my boyfriend". Ok, who asked? why was it put into the conversation?
this is poor writing.

Anyone who has served knows the military is the most homophobic...and oddly enough gayest group of people at the same time you can hang out with.

Just wanna say that OP gave me a giggle. Appreciate it.

In my playthrough, I read this line twice in the dialogue of the game when I first came across it, but mostly because I was surprised at the number of female Soldiers (and later hunters and female leaders) seen in a medieval age (and low-fantasy) game. Historically uncommon, it's interesting to see a game hosting a universe with minimal prejudices afoot.

And this is ironically quite true too.
IF it's an all-male military and you have a bunch of young guys all clustered and spending every day together, you think there's no crude humor or snu-snu occurring?

This shows a severe lack of understanding of humans.

Yeah, yours. OP is correct and anyone who disagreed with him in this thread is guilty of it too. Agenda and politics aside, RoadWarden takes every unlikely occurrence and mashes them together in a setting that contradicts this mashup unless you push your suspension of disbelief to godly levels.

You realise it's a fantasy world right and even in the real world gay people exist?

You have to "push your suspension of disbelief to godly levels" to accept gay people existing in a fantasy setting??? Not only have gay people always existed, but they were accepted in a lot of cultures. Ancient Rome is probably the most notable one.

The only reason you people struggle to understand this is because you lived your whole life basing reality on your experiences, which are filled with you hating everyone that isn't like you, so you assume everyone is exactly like you. You should really get help for your delusions that gay people don't exist lmao

Do you have a problem with reading? Maybe comprehension problems? Or do you suffer from something more profound that requires professional intervention to get a hold of? How can you read my post and extract this interpretation from it:

Are you slow or something? Do you understand how statistics/probabilities work? What is the likelihood of playing a medieval fantasy RPG and within the first hour meeting 1) a strong female combatant leader survivor 2) two gay lovers dying in X circumstances 3) female carpenters, blacksmiths, boat makers 4) an individual called "they"
I guess in unicorn rainbow fairy land where your mind resides, this is normal occurrence? I don't deny that people with 4 fingers exist, but do you see clothing companies mass producing normal gloves with 4 fingers?

Phrasing be damned, it's cool to see queer people in games! Kudos to the devs -- inclusion like this might seem like a needless aside to some, but means the world to people like me :')

why do you use the word queer and not just gay? queer means odd or weird that you randomly decided to push in the lgbtq movement.

gay people weren't accepted in roman times, actually learn history jesus christ, the things you delude yourself for your agenda. please tell me where being purely gay was accepted or liked? the only example I can think of is specifically in the sparta military where they would do it to underage boys. just because something happened doesn't mean it was accepted or normalised and the examples you used if you really look into them you wouldn't want that representing your agenda.

That isn't how actual probability works. It's also not how the world works. I'm sorry that seeing anything other than a cishet male is upsetting to you. But hey, I would love to see your statistics on the demographics of a population in a world that is completely made up!

does that not prove a agenda if you have 50% gay people in a world? its like playing a game and 50% of the characters are into incest its just weird and a clear choice by the devs to push that sort of thing

just had a glance at your profile bio and brashly assumed its some rp ♥♥♥♥, my bad. but your original comment was right, 1500 hours on hoi4 is disgraceful even if like 40% of it is afk time, 100% time wasted on a boring hollow game that I didn't enjoy.

I wouldn't mind if I wasted it on a game I actually liked but the funny and sad part is I didn't like hoi4 at all lol, half the multiplayer is sitting in lobbies and discords with manchildren just for the game to end at the start and the pve is just boring terrible ai. but alas the time is gone can't get it back now.

I mourn your lost hours, soldier. I hope that in the future you may put hours into better games. I recommend disco elysium and any fromsoftware title.
