Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

I would also appreciate if people stopped using the phrase “sexual preference” instead of sexual orientation or sexuality; “sexual preference” is a historically problematic term that implies a choice aspect to same-gender attraction, and I really wish that straight people would actively avoid it.

No, let people talk how they like they give you the respect to the same. If you have an issue be an adult and bear it its not give you a wound.

Referring to my natural attraction toward some people of any gender as a choice or “preference” isn’t being respectful to me.

I don’t appreciate people referring to me being bi as being a preference rather than a natural part of me; I’m completely serious on that.

Why is it hilarious? I just see someone politely asking for people to be mindful of the language regarding sexual orientation that they use, and a bunch of forum users dogpiling them in response.

I said, politely, that I don't understand. lol Now here's something else I don't understand. I didn't "dogpile" on them, or treat them unkindly. If they want to explain themselves, I am all ears. They just haven't done a very good job of it so far, but it's not that I don't want to understand. They just need to communicate a bit better. Even with what they said, I still don't get it. Maybe I'm not meant to, which is also fine, but I've got no beef with them at all.

I mean, dogpiling is not something you as an individual does. There are four or five users berating and insulting the poster for the very small request that they made.

If you are honestly confused and don't understand, that's fine. But take a step back and look at how many people have decided to engage this poster with escalating vitriol.

That's between them and the person in question, really. I want no part of it.

Because the initial message had no ill intentions about "preference" wanting everyone to adapt to your way of thinking is a sign of being a narcissist.
Once again assuming your an adult don't expect others to cater to you

I asked politely for my natural romantic attraction to not be called a preference; with all due respect, I don’t see what’s narcissistic about that. I’ve dealt with a lot of hateful rhetoric (both explicit and subtle) in my life, and I wish people would respect that I’m not comfortable with it here either. So can people please not laugh at that, or say things like there being meaner things that they wish they could say toward me but can’t because of the terms of service like at least one commenter did? It’s just really mean-spirited overall.

I actually completed the quest the other day on my FemRo Warrior, and was really delighted how they represented it. They even gave me the option to cheer for joy when offered the chance to marry said NPC!

On a lighter note, I did find this overall quest to be really cute. That prompt also lets you mention that you’re already married, which can include a same-gender partner. I love it when the game adds inclusive responses! There’s another example of romance-related prompt options in one of the Foundation quests too as I recall.
