I’m curious, why would the gay shi be a problem? I am straight and I remember when I read “A Land Fit for Heroes” I just kinda read it, but there was all this public discourse about how “The Gays don’t belong in Fantasy”, which first of all LOL. Secondly I have never had an issue with the portrayal of people who are different than myself. The protagonist of a piece of media having a different sexuality to me makes about as much difference as them having a different gender, or skin colour, or handedness, or hair colour, or taste in music. So I am just curious why that was a point that needed pointing out?
Not accusing you of putting any sort of spin on that BTW. Just genuinely curious why something I believe is a fairly minor part of the plot (haven’t played it, just listened to a bunch of online gamer screeching) was something you felt warranted disclosure?
I found Aloy’s escapade to be kinda cute, but forced.
I didn’t even get to know her “girlfriend” well enough for me to care.
Hell I kinda hated that other girl because she always got me in really deep dangerous and unnecessary crap from what I remember.
But specifically that she’s gay? I don’t care. If anything, I prefer it to her being straight because in my eyes 2 women on my screen are nicer to look at that a woman and a dude.
But some people don’t like that kind of stuff, and imo, that’s fine. They deserve to know before they get into a game.
I hope I got across I wasn’t trying to be critical. Just curious. And I find the actual homophobes so painfully tedious to talk to that I generally just don’t any more. I can’t imagine how bad it must be for LGBTQ people who have those opinions smashed round their heads at every turn. Have a nice day.

Because some people are just allergic to that lol
I’m not against it.

nah you alright.
Yea it’s probably pretty bad. And they always dismiss the whole idea of “you probably know a LGBTQ person, you just don’t know they are one yet”.
I don’t really get involved in either direction when it comes to LGBTQ stuff.
You should have seen my face when I realized one of my friends was…Bi I think? Idk I never really asked. Though afaik that’s technically LGBTQ too.
