    Shame on those damn straights for choosing to be attracted to their opposing sex.

    Let’s disrespect them because of their inferiority.

    (Can you see how toxic and weird that sounds?)

      In a world that is controlled almost entirely by heteronormativity, policing straight representation in a queer-friendly game made by a queer developer does not seem like an equivalent situation at all.

      How is providing an additional inclusive option disrespectful?

      Is it that you don’t like the price? That’s just capitalism. More demand equals higher prices.

    Straight representation? Lol, what? Like every major branching choice RPG with romance options offers plenty of hetero choices (Witcher, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldurs Gate, Cyberpunk 2077, etc). Even in Veilguard, the first AAA game I’ve played that offers nonbinary choices, still has plenty of hetero representation. Culture wars are so god damn exhausting and unwinnable.

      These are the same people mad at “woke” games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.

      I hate it here. 🙃
