Do you think that the LGBT community is overrepresented in Starfield?

[Neblunoa]

I think not. I don't understand why people get angry every time a LGBT character appears in the game or at the possibility of having a gay romance with 2 male Starfield companions.

As a gaymer I have had to roleplay straight romances in most RPGs prior to 2020 and I have not complained until now. And surprisingly, after multiple romances with women, I still have not become straight LMAO. Soo dont be afraid, interacting with a gay or trans npc is not going to make you gay or trans.

Finally, it bothers me that people complain that the game gives the player the OPTION of having a gay romance or being trans, when gaymers have been forced in heteronormative relationships in most of the RPGs from the last decade.

By the way, you religious fundamentalists and other phobic scum who reported my last thread can eat my ass. Thanks and good evening.

Glad to see the 1000th culture war thread. Cant wait to see about 10 more new threads talking about the same thing in the next 5 seconds. Love it when the discussion board is flooded with the same topic over and over and over again

And then there's Dragon Age that let you be gay. What's your point?

Oh yes I almost forgot that in the dragón age origins they let me have a romance with the most hateful character in the cast. Come on, let's be serious and recognize that the lgtbi community has always been left aside in RPG.

Funny when you take into consideration that the belt is actually a cursed item... Y'know, something that you preferably would want to avoid.

I'd chalk that up to a lunatic who searched high and low for a cursed belt so he'd live out his fantasies.

Don't worry, probably another one of those fake gamers who make an obviously false claim to assert some kind of position of authority in a forum conversation.

If someone wanted their sex changed, then it'd hardly be a curse to them. The point is that sex change magic exists in Faerun in multiple ways, people are just persistent in calling queer rep unrealistic whenever it shows up.

I have only just bought the game so I have no idea about the story, plotlines or characters.

However, gaming is cerebral, not physical. It doesn't turn people into anything. Just like a violent video game doesn't cause mass shootings, or a tycoon game make you a millionaire. It's all in your mind.

I think some people manage to kid themselves for example, sinking hours into a game about their interests rather than work on their life or interests, but its an illusion and not real. The same goes for any argument anyone makes about any gaming media.

It's not that bad. All the gay stuff can be avoided since the text that enables it is very clear about it as opposed to Baldur's Gate 3, where characters try to trick you with magic show or dancing. All in all, it's pretty tame.

Yes I do. Everyone in the game is gay. Every single companion, even Vasco is gay.

There are many Phobias not all of them, Nay, MOST of them have nothing to do with your sexual preferences. That's probably the widest paintbursh I've ever seen.

As someone who dislikes big, ugly spiders, I put up with encountering the numerous spider-aliens in this game instead of making a scene of it on the forums and if they're too much, I move on. Some people on these forums need to learn when to put on the brakes instead of aggravating others about their personal problems.

Right. The difference is you don't have to look at spiders in every advertisement now, or movie remakes that replace Simba from Lion King with a spider and you surely don't need to worry that your kids have to go to spider classed each day, instead of learning ACTUAL school stuff! Oversaturation, read up in it!

I just don't understand why anyone would want to be represented in a "game" like this. I'd take it as an insult and sue the hell out of Microsoft.

FFS you're not FORCED to flirt with any character, it's offered as a choice. I'm straight but I applaud the game's inclusivity. I can only see the OPTION bothering people who are insecure about their sexuality or are just plain prejudiced. Just play the game and leave your culture wars at the door. Sheesh.

I forced to flirt with Sam because of his accent and lovable father yet still adventurous personality and now I’m married to a man in real life, explain that!

[king_of_jamaica]

Outside of the companions supposedly being playersexual, I don't think I've encountered a single NPC that is LGBT. I'm not very far into the game though.

Utterly wrong. Fem-shep could shag women. Tali was a fan favourite of the lesbian option.

Of course, among women there always many more options to feed the heterobasic sexual desire. The same thing happens with fire emblem three houses. Like 10 options for lesbians and only 1 for gay men.

Yeah but you make the mistake of talking about lesbians. They're not popular like the gays are these days.

Why else do you think it's straight men, women and lesbians who are oppressed with having to look at hideous female characters in today's western gaming setting? At least there's still Japan that brings out games where you can tell what's a female and what's a male.

Preston Garvey is gay for those Settlers frfr
