Are Rodger and James Gay?

[N0VA]

The two blokes that hang out around Feraday's lab. I'm actually curious cause it... seems like they are. I noticed when complaining about Rodger messing up the valve, James was like "why did I fall for such a mechinaical idiot." and well Rodger can be seen sometimes on the "not a dance pole." and the bedroom there is also rather... questioning.

I'm just looking for some confirmination on these two cause It'd be really cool if they actually are gay, cause that just bumps the game up in my books for repersentation. :)

Yup they are.
There's even a note somewhere in Fereday's place that says they were assigned to guard her because they were "confirmed bachelors" and couldn't be seduced.

I thought that Wellies did not have sex... i mean, there aren't any children, so... So i thought that they could not fall in love neither, how could they be gay?

There's a big side effect of Joy nobody talks about. Probably has something to do with this being a childless dystopia.

I can see it making people infertile, but like I doubt they don't get feelings cause you can be happy and in love or a downer and in love lol, and also you *don't* need sex to have love of course, if they fancy eachother and are the same sex then they are gay.

Oh yeah I agree about Joy not interrupting love as in multiple encounters love is displayed between Wellies and Wastrels allike. I was more of getting at Nedioca's point about there being no children and that Joy's infertility side effect is the reason rather than them not having any sex. And like you said, Roger and James just need to have feelings for each other to be gay.

Or the Joy makes Wellies forget how to have sex/make babies. XD

There is a poster with a kid marching on it in Hamlyn that says "They will return" (or somesuch) so that might be a clue.

That might also be a reference to how they were all conscripted for the war effort. The Wellies you see now are likely the kids who narrowly avoided conscription.

In fact (and sorry for the intrusion), when Wellies jump in the puddle and chase Arthur/the player saying childish things, they do really look like kids in terms of behavior.

This leads to ask myself if Bobbies and Doctors, who have apparently a more mature behavior, take a different kind of Joy, seen that they have to do their jobs, or are somehow brainwashed in a different way.

I think the answer to the different behaviour is in the form of different conditioning as due to their positions of responsibility they'll likely not have to watch Uncle Jack which is the main source of conditioning..

And not only that: if you look around, there is a "gayish" drawing of these sailors together in the bedroom and a blackboard with "Roger loves James" near the stairs.

I like to imagine that the fact they're dressed as sailors to begin with has something to do with the OPs question.
