Frustrating relative lack of LGBT NPCs in this game

No, a platonic relationship between two people of the same sex or opposite sex is just called being friends to normal people.

Ah HA - so we get to the crux of it. If they are same sex and not straight, its wrong.
Please explain how you think every man/woman pairing of npc's are just friends and not man/wife.

Romantic relationships are inherently sexual relationships. That's why it creeps some (most) people out when the romantic camp pushes their point. Also a platonic relationship is a far more interesting one, as it is devoid of sexual connotation.

I do not think it is really that black and white. Like there are people who consider themselves asexual. They still have romantic feelings and relationships, but are often devoid of that sexual need. Romance and sexuality are things that can be separate, even if they often do entwine. Really relationships should be judged on their own individual merit. I do agree that platonic relationships can be some of the strongest and most interesting in storytelling (And opposite sex friendships I feel are still rarely found without romantic or sexual notions, unfortunately) but I think it would be a shame for any wider work of fiction to disregard platonic or non-platonic relationships entirely.

Yet by your logic, a platonic same sex relationship is LITERALLY impossible, because any reference to them being non-straight is sexualization. Yet if they just happen to be man and women, its just ok?


Does playing the victim make you feel better? Cause it sure provides us with a chuckle

stop the word salad BS games by "us" means you in reality... so lets get that point straight

You're saying there's something sexual about little Timmy realizing he has a crush on little Jimmy? Interesting.

What do you mean pushing none LGBTQ folks out? Are you trying to say that witnessing story lines that aren't centered around you and your life experience make you feel...... excluded. That cant be right, because wanting to feel apart of something is just an excuse. At least that's what I'M hearing on here.

no, I don't mind if the story has it or not but it doesn't have to be in everything is what I am trying to say. and besides, it is just a game why can't folks just stop with the political injection there agenda into this game and just enjoy playing it?

The LGTBQ are not a food you can just pick out of your diet. They are people that exist in every culture all over the world. If they want to ask to be represented more they can.

This thread is 2 years old and, on top of that, OP was a known forum troll. Just let it die.

Children do not have the comprehension to make such decisions. Which is why most people have issues taking adult understanding of relationships and transplanting those onto children and those that do not have comprehension of such matters. In short, it's creepy.
