Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

I'd rather no character get sexualized in any way, personally.

That quest also lets you say as a male character that you have a thing for one of the male characters, so that’s cool too.

I know the forums are a dumpster fire right now but does that justify necroing this post?

.... have you SEEN the way people dress themselves in this game?

Knowing someone likes their same sex isn't sexualizing them, especially not when I can get into a dungeon and my tank is some cat girl in a bikini top and 2B panties. I think you're conflating sexuality with sexualization.

Funny how people in this thread were like "lol it's more accepted being gay in Japan" like...if you're famous maybe. Average everyday people, not so much. And the attitude that just says "I don't care what you are just don't show it in front of me." reinforces that even in the west there are still people who think the same. But tell me how many of those people see a seemingly straight couple together and don't bat an eye but the second they either see a non straight couple or realize said straight couple was not so they suddenly care?

I don't mean to be mean but in some countries that is not the great USA this may make the game banned... please don't do this.

For me, it's enough that every character is basically ambiguous enough that you could reasonably assume they're into anyone if you just write enough fanfiction.

So was there a reason you decided to drag this troll thread out of the grave?

This is a fantasy game. If the fantasy doesn’t match your particular fetish, perhaps look elsewhere.

I know this is an older comment, but I was reading through this thread and really want to emphasize (including toward any current forum users) that being romantically attracted to people of the same gender as you isn’t a fetish, much like how different-gender attraction isn’t. There are some civil replies in this large thread, but there’s also problematic rhetoric that I’m surprised was ultimately deemed allowable by moderators.

Being this thread has already been necro'd I wish to say my two cents. The majority honestly would not care, and it is usually a double standard. There are many who are perfectly fine with women making out, but if men were to kiss each other on the cheek in public it would be a crime to them. Even holding hands people find way to cause trouble. This is still an issue in many places, but it isn't so big an issue as it is always made out to be in that weird off shoot community of extremists. When I was looking up current japanese goings on with their lgbt community they recently passed a law if I am not mistaken to protect people who were being assaulted for going out together. Though I need to give credit where credit is due, they have never censored to my knowledge outlets for people who wish to absorb media or hobbies involving same sex relationships. Also something I always find interesting, it is really hard finding many things addressing multiple partner relationships though uncommon as they may be. This always surprised me due to history.
