Henry is gay, you might not let him indulge, but he is gay. There is no straight Henry option, guys queer. All you can do is prevent him from hooking up with men now. There is no player choice for him to be straight, only to abstain.

Than can you answer me this? Why wasn't Henry Bi-Sexual in the 1st game? You can't. If there was no agenda it would have been available in the first game.

Why are you even part of this conversation then? If the anti woke crowd wins and they remove the gay stuff next time, it wouldn’t affect you at all.

You can tell all these idiots who say its woke never played the first game, if they were true fans all of this stuff is irrelevant and the only thing that matters is the game is GOOD. They're turning into just as bad as the wokies and crying wolf about stupid details that dont even matter and not even playing the game or waiting until its actually out to see what it is really all about. I'm not worried, when the game is released and it's gets a bunch of 9/10's and possibly some 10/10's they'll just look like chumps for crying about things that don't matter.

Why do you think gaming became a hub of anti-woke sentiment? Simply because of all the things the woke crowd has done-developers insulting players, forcing pronouns, gender, and race politics into games, ruining established games and lore with their nonsense, and hundreds of other reasons. Yes, I agree the game is not woke, but it’s crazy to see people forget why the woke movement received so much hate in the first place.

They gave Henry a Gay path that’s a complete retcon of his original character. The Woke DEI pushers have ruined the Gay Representation. I used to not mind gay stuff, but now I can’t stand to see it because it’s being forced everywhere.

Dude we just want a break from lgbtq crap

Thanks for your video, man. I'm a devout catholic and KCD1 is my favorite game of all time. I think I have to insist a little on the idea that KCD1 is kind of a christian game. Warhorse really insisted on the extreme historical accuracy and medieval bohemia was very christian so there was no other way around it. So in turn, the game is christian, in the same way as Bohemia was christian, if that makes sense. Not everyone in medieval bohemia was a good christian, right? Not everyone plays KCD1 in a very christian way. But the overwhelming christianity is still there. One of the things I love the most in this game is how it deals with the concept of sin. Many players could play a degenerate Henry and never think twice about the christian elements. But me, for example, could notice the little details. Henry can do all the stuff he needs to do through the story and be in touch with his spirituality and God. KCD1 deals with the concept of sin in a very catholic way. Henry sins and, as far as my perception goes, is still christian and accepts his own errors. KCD reinforces the idea of how we are all sinners and none of us deserve God's Grace, but we should still thrive to be graceful. Plus, we can also mention how it even feels like the game shows (valid) criticism of the Catholic Church but in a very neutral way, almost pro Catholicism. The Monastery mission reminds us of how the Church did massive work on knowledge preservation. They could have even went the easy way and show how evil and inhumane the inquisition was but when the inquisitor actually shows up, you can actually get an ending where Johanka isn't even punished. Then there's the marketing of KCD2 and those big images of the main characters with the text "Jesus Christ be praised" and then there's the big reveal in Kuttenberg Cathedral, out of all plces. I know Vavra said explicitly that this isn't a christian game. So I might be hitting my head against a wall. The author said it, that's all there is to it right? But I don't know why I can't agree. Maybe it isn't christian but, and I am probably wrong, but to my perception KCD is at least pro-christian. Vavra and Warhorse also pandered as some kind of beacon of light in the darkness of the modern video games industry, they were "based" and almost "rad trad", but suddenly with the recent leaks, it feels like "ah not really". I mean, I am a little dissapointed, maybe I'm just looking for hopium. But yeah, I kind of am way more on your side, than on the side of all those people that are now against Warhorse. I have criticisms of the reveals of the last few days, but Vavra and Warhorse created KCD, a game that pretty much changed me and my view of life. They still have my support and I still am very excited about this sequel.

Nailed it dude. The outrage has genuinely pissed me off. The game is not woke, people should be more concerned with GTA 6 crashing and burning because its looking like they actually went “woke”

I am a conservative, I don't like and hate all the woke and DEI stuff, but am i with the few people who don't care about this "woke" problem ? Straight Henry is cannon, you don't even have to do nor watch the gay scenes (from what i've heard) You can totally play the game without doing the gay stuff and skip all, so why are people bothering so much about this ? There are dozens of games where this stuff is non skippable, forced and here we are debating and fighting for something people don't even have to do. It is crazy seeing some of my favorite KZbin channels attacking the game so much. I understand the fear behind their new Publisher with all the DEI, Blackrock stuff but c'mon, so far, from all we have seen KCD 2 is not even close to being woke.

Was Henry canonically straight in the first game yes His henry canonically gay in the second gayme yes the game is woke the end Get a GF and move out of your moms. seeing a grown man in a twin is sad

Warhorse said in the first game that Henry is a straight man. If it were a choice in the first game it wouldn't be as big a deal but now they're trying to gaslight people.

What do you mean it's not woke? Maybe you didn't see it yet, but an investor from Emracer Group said it, he was (among others) who pushed for "the game to be gay because it will resonate with the younger audience". So with that you can already see that they lied from the start. First the game is not woke, then there is some gay scene if you want. Second it's a Christian themed game, then it's not. Third it's not banned in Saudi Arabia, but it is. Wtf are you on about and who exactly has a thick skull. Look at yourself first.

Why are you deleting my comments? Is it because you can't stand that my argument is valid?

no wonder this channel flopped

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYaTmnmaoL2Eg68si=58dYTyQG-QuJ093d better source for you guys

This dude doesnt do his research what so ever unbelievable. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYaTmnmaoL2Eg68si=58dYTyQG-QuJ093d Heres a better guy who does deep research and caught multiple lies

Cristophobia to make a Christian character gay, all I'm saying.

This whole controversy has to be the lamest I've seen in years. Talk about shooting an ambulance. Who cares about some gay option or a Malian character? As long as it's done tastefuly and that it fits the story and the setting, what's wrong with it? People feeding this controversy are just some extreme right wing idiots (they see woke agenda everywhere), they're on the same spectrum than extreme left wing woke idiots (they see racism and intolerance everywhere). What they have in common is that they'd rather start a fight and watch the gaming industry burn if it won't fit their ideology, than actually playing games. Those are not gamers, they're not passionate, they're just fucking activists bearers of bad vibes.

One thing that's been bothering me about this whole discourse is that people keep using Christianity as a smokescreen for what is just obviously a personal distaste for gay people and "wokeness." The original game allows you to do a lot of un-Christian things like stealing and killing innocent people. Even if we ignore that and talk only about Henry's romance options in the first game, what about seducing the Lady Stephanie of Talmberg? Lord Divish takes you in, gives you a bed and some food, and saves your life when your dumb ass goes back to Skalitz to bury your parents...and you can repay him by sleeping with his wife lol. Adultery is fine, fornicating with prostitutes and tavern wenches is fine, but these people are suddenly Very Concerned about a possible gay romance.

Lmao this little girl is removing my comments

KCD 1 Henry is straight white male son of a blacksmith from Bohemia. KCD 2 Henry is bi/gay now. How is that not retcon 🤦🏼‍♂️how is that not woke. In Mass Effect your white male Shepard could be different from my black female Shepard. This is forced you dumba$$, can you turn it off? No, then it’s forced🤦🏼‍♂️

If someone actually thinks that it matters then they are not real fans. And also, have you seen Henry and Hans, the community loves to push those two together. Edit: plus, Toth and Erik were literally gay.

did you just assume im quite hungry?!?

Not comparable to mass effect, KCD was you playing as Henry, a Christian man… not you playing as Henry who is “you”. That “perspective” didn’t arrive till they were forced to add it due to their investors. It can either be seen as wokeness ruining it or it’s still a “Christian” game and they added an optional sin. All about perspective

KCD2 is woke AF. Why is a guy from the Kingdom of Mali bloviating about the Renaissance and the treatment of women in medieval Europe? Was the Sistine Chapel built in Timbuktu?

Yeah the whole thing is way overblown. I think as others have expressed the inclusions might have been publisher-led, but at the end of the day getting one's tendies in twist over an optional romance no one is obligated to take and one Poc NPC who they provide a reasoned backstory to is just all sorts of REE. The game looks solid, previews have been super positive. A lot of people openly admit they can't put it down because its just that good. The idea that this is in any way going to be a shit show of DEI in the same vein as Veilguard or AC Shadows is ludicrous. The same people Reeing about this are also the same ones, who more than happily threw cash at Hogwarts Legacy to give a middle finger to the Woke Crowd, ignoring the fact that Portkey Games still stuffed HW full of Woke pandering talking points, from absurd levels of diversity through to an openly trans character running the wand shop.

People can wait 7 days and listen people who play it, what it is. I think that biggest issues some people will have will be: 1. Combat (skill issues) 2. Saving system (we had same in KcD 1... People who played it know, people who didn't play it will find it in hard way 😅)...i see it as intereting mechanic 😂 3. Crafting mini games (skill issue) 4. Shepherd side quest and perhaps one legitimate criticism as 5. Hit box on smaller animals is horendous 😂😅 (killing sheep or dog/wolf is ANNOYING)

och, and I feel I must add one more: As christian woman and oldschool feminist here is one more take: Already in KcD 1 player has OPTIONs how to play Henry. He could be VIRGIN, sleep only with Teresa Or doing something immoral like sleep with PROSTITUES in bathhouses or sleep with MARRIED woman. I see such behavioir as immoral, but I m too old (over 30) to learn one thing: I can enjoying pursuing ONE TRUE love worthy of marriage, but it is pointless to push my moral values on other people, BECAUSE they 1. DO what they want anyway 2. THEY will do precise opposite I m saying, 3. It only can lead to my frustration (not worthy). Even if it is bad/immoral/stupid. If you ask me if that options make my experience with KcD 1 worse I will say: NO. Because in the end of the day I played it as I WANTed. I love STORY games where PLAYERS decisions matter. If everything make sense inside of game ... PS: Here is why game will be great: 1. Player's decisions will have consequences from 1403 point of view 2. Czech give a crap about american modern politics 3. Czechs are VERY PROUD about their NATION, HISTORY and CULTURE.

It's disheartening to see side you usually agree with going same unhinged as leftist lunatics 😅😂 Gay option (you may not even choose to follow) lead to kissing and going to the bed. 5 second scene. In comparation to romances with women where is SEEN EVERYTHING. 😅 Also game has 5 hours of well written, hilarious story cut scenes. Thats like two movies. Its almost funny like people doing fuss about 5 second they may not even encounter 😅😂.

Im curious, if and when the 3rd kcd releases, and henry has the option to explore a transgender transistion in a hidden questline, that is totally optional, would you still defend the game?

I’d rather see what people say after the game is released. There’s nothing stopping anyone from just buying the game if they’re wrong, which is one reason why there’s nothing wrong with the criticism. I’ve seen too many game series get dragged through the mud, but it seems a lot of people lack pattern recognition. We've had enough time to see where it usually ends up once it starts.

Most of these people complaning in the comments about it being woke and not playing are gonna play it see that its not woke but will never admit their wrong

Thank you you beautiful man for speaking the truth. I forgot the fallout4 stuff and I played it lol

Never knew there was anything controversial. What happens in Kuttenberg, stays in Kuttenberg.

You have right.

They retconned a character for the sake of representation. They could've easily had a story like this take place with other characters, but they got lazy... Same with the post launch content. Calling everyone who has an issue with it idiots and claiming you're going to educate them is next level arrogance. Bad take.

If you played just the KCD1 prologue, you would know that in that first quest, there is enough lore to be sure that Henry is straight, not a sodomite, which is the correct term, not gay, bi, or queer, if we want to be accurate to the game's setting, and that is the correct term no matter if you bang men, women and men bouth or animals. Do you want an option to bang animals in the game just to have the option to have that full sodomite experience? Besides that, Henry already has a horse and dog. Why wouldn't you use the option to be in a closer relationship with them? It's just more player choice, as you said. That prologue in KCD1 was done, in a way to show that Henry is sraight, on purpose by Warhorse back then they wanted to make a staitment that not evry game or media in general shoud be LGBTQIA+ ocuppated. Then Blackrock bought Warhorse, and with this sodomite option, even if the game isn't entirely woke, they make a new statement: We were wrong, everything should be an LGBTQIA+ playground. That's why Warhorse lost trust from many people. If Warhorse ever wanted to just make it an option like other RPGs, they would make an entirely new blank character with a character creation as every other RPGs, but for woke mobs, it is far more important to corrupt than fit in.

the news is in! Saudi Arabia banned KCD 2 playsation store and likely other stores are soon to follow. First they lied and then when they got caught, they pretended its not a big deal But guess what it was a big enough deal that saudie arabia banned it. They also lied about the banned saying it was just a rumor. I hope you make a follow up video, there is no shame in adminting to be wrong.

How about we play the game and then have a discussion based on experience instead of speculation. After my experience with Kcd1 and over 7000 yea thousand hours I am in 100% and it has always been your choice my Henry has been a good man,a bad man ,a backstabber a straight up killer.

game is going to be goooood! Its RPG and i love the option to be even gay if you want... Im very anti woke person but one nigga and options to be someone is not issue for me. Its just some sexual stuff for everyone! But its just not the point of the game! again the game is going to be gooooooooood!

KCD2 is just like Elton john suddenly say he is straight or bi now. Straight don't have any gay thought, no thought = no option suddenly pop in their head. You would never seen a gay Geralt, gay Arthur Morgan and gay John Marston. Gay option choice pop in their mind just broke this character immersive for me. If guy has gay option thought, that means he is not straight, that means some how Henry is mutated to bi now. The devs already said Henry is Straight 8 years ago, now they just made a retcon. They broke a established character, and I liked the old Henry more. I do care the main character who they build in KCD1.

Yeah it’s all just overreaction. Musa character could exist in medieval times and his remarks in the leaked dialogue is just like every npcs talk- he boasts about something and whether it’s true or not is for us to decide. And about Henry it’s more complicated. Yes CM before KCD1 released stated that he is straight but as far as I can tell he might have not known about character development in the future. Furthermore KCD1 action takes place in a rural area in the span of few weeks and before that Henry just lived in one village, he didn’t know a lot of people. Later he experienced traumatic scenes with his parents death and he lost his homestead and everything he knew so it also may affected his character in many ways. And lastly same sex romance in KCD2 is only optional- that doesn’t mean he canonically was bisexual. His choices are only up to us. It supposedly will be resolved in historical manner so if we choose to follow this romance path we could face some repercussions (because of medieval society’s stance towards homosexuality). If anyone wants to discuss it feel free to do so. I think it’s just a huge drama out of nothing it won’t be another Veilguard where political correctness themes are forced upon us.

Ok.. Your opinion. Other games are not an argument... If 10 other sheep jump down a ravine you don't have to follow them. So hear me out than. The gay community has been pushing for the gay chromosome for years... What it means is that you are gay from birth... Its an innate part of you.... In other word it is not an acquired taste for that type of juice... Sooooo Henry has a canonical story. Of not being gay... Therefore he is not gay... Why should he get that choice than ??? Are you saying that you are against the gay chromosome??? How so....homophobe of you... Soooo with that said... I assure you... You don't try dick vor fun...it supposed to be an accurate historical game... Therefore it should be accurate humanly. Just to make it real for you.. go search how king edward II of england die less than 100 years before 1403... He was openly gay... Its not forced (kinda) but they forced it to be there. Its funny that they forced a code of conduct on steam right after the drama started.. you know who else compelled language like that ?? Stalin... Result 30 000 000 death. Did you know that Mao did kill 40 000 000 of soul by enforcing his code of conduct in his first 4 years in power???? Compelled language is a bitch. Because if they can silence you anywhere next they do it by law.... Bill C16 in canada is a great example... Sooo... Will your Henry be gay ??? You might as well come out of the closet now.. cheers

The devs confirmed henry to be "straight white and male" in their own words 8 years ago. This is the same as 40k adding female custodes. You cant compare fallout 4 or Mass effect to KCD or the witcher because in KCD you are playing as Henry, who already has established lore. To change this would also imply that sexuality is a choice which I personally think is insulting. Your video clearly shows that you understood none of my points and would instead prefer to strawman arguments I never made.

bro made a 15 minute video because of a few comments he got lol harden the f up

Bro, just a tip, don't expect people to take you seriously when you start the video by sitting on a single childs bed

It’s woke. They’re making a straight character gay/bi. What does that add to the game in anyway? Their parent company has ESG and DEI on their website. Warhorse has been infected by woke. Nuff said.

There's a leaked screenshot that shows that a certain character's dialogue is a reference to modern political theory. 😂 More *LIES*
