    You are boiling down the LGBTQ community to just sex but thats not what they are asking for. Romance is not inherently sexual. Knowing more about a characters likes and interest make them more real. I assume you have no problem with Runar's crush on Yshtola or a focus on the married Chia's on the first or Wedges crush on Tataru, or Thancreds old womanizing ways or the tons of other couples we meet along the way. This argument is only have brought up when the LGTBQ ask for a seat at the table. Gay people can be more openly put into the game and it wouldn't be tokenism, you just don't want it and use that as an excuse.
    Knowing a character's sexual preferences doesn't make them more real, knowing the character as a human being makes them more real such as what they like to eat, what culture are they from, what their favourite hobby is. I don't my boss at work's sexual preferences or my cousins they are very real to the point I dont want to see them. You are correct gay people can be in a game without it being tokenism but no one liked Thancred when he was a womaniser, not many people like Runar because of his crush on Yshtola because it infringes on their fantasy. The more sexuality and sexual preference into a 16+ game the more people dislike it because the majority of people dont care about someone's sexuality and I find it disingenuous that you say the LGBT community is asking to be at the table, a few people of that community are no one elected them as our representatives. It's rather obnoxious for them to be pushing their sexuality on the game at all. Most RPGs just allow you to romance everyone at this no matter the circumstance the only game which doesn't was dragon age and people had a problem with that.

    I will also add no one cares about NPCs when people talk about representation they mean main characters, lets not deny it, that's where this convo has always been headed.
