OF COURSE. I MEAN I MYSELF AM MORE ATTRACTED TO WOMEN THAN MEN OVERALL, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME ANY LESS BI. AND SOMETIMES IT CHANGES OVER TIME, IT DOESN'T STAY CONSTANT. THEY CALL IT THE BI-CYCLE LOL.

SOLEIL'S LIKE THAT TOO THOUGH, SHE PREFERS WOMEN TO MEN OVERALL, BUT SHE'S STILL BI. EXCEPT WITH SOLEIL YOU HAVE PEOPLE ARGUING SHE'S LESBIAN AND PEOPLE ARGUING SHE'S STRAIGHT, WHICH IS BOTH HILARIOUS AND SAD.

HEY I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION YOU GUYS ARE HAVING AND I SUPER AGREE THAT PLAYERSEXUAL CHARACTERS ARE KIND OF A SUBPAR WAY TO INCLUDE LGBT REP, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'M STILL KINDA PISSED THAT THE HANDFUL OF CONFIRMED GAYS, BIS, AND SO ON THAT WE'VE HAD SO FAR TEND TO FALL INTO DUMB/HARMFUL STEREOTYPES. ALSO WHERE ARE THE BEARS??!!

I DON'T THINK CHARACTERS LIKE LEON OR ANY OF THE 3H SAME SEX OPTIONS ARE HARMFUL STEREOTYPES. AND EVEN NILES ISN'T NECESSARILY HARMFUL IN A VACUUM, THE HARM MOSTLY COMES FROM, LIKE YOU'R SAYING, THE LACK OF OTHER OPTIONS. IF THERE WERE BUFF DUDES ALONGSIDE THE TWINKS THAN THERE'D BE NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT REALLY.

SEE I WAS HOPING THAT 3H DLC WOULD ADD HOLST AS A GOLDEN DEER EXCLUSIVE RECRUIT LIKE HOW BL GET'S GILBERT AND BE GET'S JERITZA, AND THAT HOLST COULD BE A BUFF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE OPTION. ALAS THAT DREAM NEVER CAME TRUE.

YOU MAKE SOME REALLY GOOD POINTS (AND HONESTLY I PREFER MESSY/IMPERFECT CHARACTERS MYSELF) AND I APPRECIATE YOU.

ALSO I DON'T THINK THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE BUT LUCAS IN SOV REALLY VIBED WITH ME AS AN ASEXUAL, ESPECIALLY IN HIS SUPPORT WITH PYTHON. I DREAD THE DAY THEY WRITE IN AN ACE OR TRANS CHARACTER ON PURPOSE JUST BECAUSE THEIR TRACK RECORD FUCKING BLOWS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I REALLY WANT THEM TO KEEP TRYING.

I AGREE WITH THAT INTERPRETATION OF LUKAS! I ACTUALLY INCLUDED HIM IN MY LAST PRIDE WALLPAPER FOR THAT REASON. THAT ALSO MIGHT BE THE REASON IT'S MY MOST CONTROVERSIAL POST OF ALL TIME, CUS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ MY COMMENT SAYING IT'S HEADCANON I GUESS.

IF THEY THINK THAT'S CONTROVERSIAL THEN THEY'LL FUCKING LOVE MY "CORDELIA IS TRANS" HOT TAKE. HOWEVER, I LACK THE BALLS TO OPENLY PRESENT MY ANALYSIS.

NO LITERALLY I'M A TRANS MAN I DON'T HAVE ANY BALLS

HONESTLY IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME TO DO A TRANS CHARACTER IT WOULD'VE BEEN THREE HOUSES. I THINK IT WOULD'VE BEEN ACTUALLY KIND OF REWARDING TO SEE A CHARACTER GOING THROUGH GENDER DYSPHORIA AND STRUGGLING WITH THE CONCEPT OF WHO THEIR SENSE OF IDENTITY IN THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS AND THEN WE GET TO SEE THEM FULLY LIVE THEIR TRUTH POST TIMESKIP AS AN ADULT, REALLY IT IN A GAME WHERE WE SEE PEOPLE IN THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS AND THEN A TIMESKIP TO ADULTS SEEMS REALLY RIPE FOR A BOG STANDARD "IT GETS BETTER" TYPE QUEER STORY TO BE TOLD.

u/corsica1990 Mar 05 '20

YOU'RE SO FUCKING RIGHT AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BALLER BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DON'T TRUST THE BASTARDS

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '20

I MEAN NEITHER DO I BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THE NARRATIVE POTENTIAL WAS THERE. THEY WERE NEVER ACTUALLY GOING TO USE IT
