How many of y'all will be mad that Father Dolmayan is gay?

Apparently the vast majority of you didn't even figure it out.
So I'm here to ruin the day of folks who cry about games being "woke" all year long.

Homosexuality in games or media doesn't make it inherently woke. It is how the product is packaged and delivered to the consumer that makes it woke or not. Is there overt ideological messaging in this game? The answer is no. AC is not a woke game by any standard or it wouldn't have sold the copies it did.

A lot of people really don't get this, if every single character is gay, trans, non binary, all good people are women and evil are white men it would likely be a political thing, but gay, trans and non binary people are part of society and its more ridiculous to not have any characters in your games from those groups as you are then actively excluding them.

But ye sadly there are people who will see 1 gay character in a cast of 200 and say "oh look its woke bs, should be 100% straight people"

So the fandom and not the poorly made games are what made you stop buying?

God no, have you seen my game inventory? I have Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky, X:Rebirth, Ark: Survival Evolved...

If it takes a while for a game to get good, I'm fine with waiting. But what's the point of sharing the experience with either group, given the all-consuming focus they have on other facets of things?

in starfield's case it never actually gets good though

No, AC6 ain't "woke" or whatever. Even if Dolmayan is gay, the way his character's delivered contributes to the story. And literally NO ONE at FromSoft has engaged in any virtue signalling or identity politics.

Rule of thumb: look to the character's backstory and their contributions to the overall tale.

No one will care if someone's XYZ-whatever, so long as the story comes first.

Didn't check if anyone had pointed this out earlier, but Dolmayan has a coral girlfriend in Seria. At least I don't think the relationship is platonic since he wanted to go meet her "in the other side" and the way he talks about her.

Not that I consider this topic very relevant. And hints about Dollmayans sexuality are only brought up in that one arena combat bio and maybe some data logs.
These kind of little details make the world and characters more believable and alive if anything. The topic isn't underlined in anyway. Don't understand what the fuss is about.

I know it's not what they're talking about but... do you know what his ac's shoulder weapons are?

You have a positive rating for Starfield and a negative rating for Cyberpunk. From this you can understand your orientation.

Looks like a songbird.

Unlike the west Japan seems to understand what subtle means and doesn't make a character being gay their main focus and all they're about. Meanwhile every modern western game has every gay person shoving their homosexuality down your throat and telling you how much of a bigot you are if you don't accept their lifestyle.

The reason may also lie in translation. In English, characters can love each other, in another language they are just friends. We need to check the Japanese language and then we will know the truth.
