Gays and Bisexuals

[tf.take]

why are gay/bisexual traits a thing in vanilla rimworld? if anything it should be a mod so it is optional for people that want that, it isn't necessary at all. i don't get why tynan incorporates that into the game but doesn't incorporate more essential mods like smarter constructing that make pawns smarter and actually servers a purpose.

Perhaps, but it's easy to avoid gay or bisexual colonists.

i'm asking why it's a thing in vanilla when it seems like more of a mod

Because there was a time when Ludeon got slammed by lefties for their game not being "representative" enough.

It really doesn't though. The only way sexual orienation would add to gameplay is if babies and children existed as it would put a value on straight couples and gay couples for population control reasons.

That's not true. There were gay and bisexual characters in the game long before there was a minor controversy caused by one blogger over the coding of the bisexuality trait. It sounds like you're trying to make something political that isn't.

I guess, but the thing is nothing is added to your colony based on the colonists sexual orienation. Many of the traits have plus and minuses, but sexual orienation is just kind of there and serves no purpose. It's like it was added for no other reason than to appease the LGBT community.

It adds to the complexity of the interpersonal dynamics of the colonists. In other words, it adds drama. This seems pretty obvious. I'm guessing you're overlooking this obvious gameplay effect for some reason?

Just having straight relationships would add that kind of drama, so again, it serves no point.

You can turn off traits by customing your starting options if you want there to be no gays or bisexuals, and generally the dev team doesn't seem to pro LGBTQ+ Because they designed a DLC and have gender clothing in it where characters hate wearing the opposite gender's clothing

i also want to add that adding gay can be done in 10 minutes while making construction smarter without influencing performance is very hard. It also adds to realism and immersion even if you hate gay or if you only like gay
