@@Ar1AnX1x Actually, fun fact, historically ancient Greece was nowhere near as Gay as people say, so much so that it actually was seen as a homophobic era: the majority of homosexual activity was partaken in by the rich nobility (who always were allowed to get away with things). The idea that ancient Greece was a gay progressive time comes from a progressive historian wildly mischaracterizing certain Greek stories and artworks as depicting homosexual relationships and activities, including pederasty (you know, the one with the little lads that is illegal nowadays), and furthermore claiming these were seen as positive. In reality, the ancient Greeks even had slurs for homosexuals. And no. It was not based on whether you were a top or a bottom. Being a bottom was seen as worse, but being a top was still terrible in their eyes.

If a gay character is outwardly gay its pushing an agenda, if its a subtle reveal through hidden clues they are turning straight characters gay, its a lose lose situation, its like to some people there needs to be a lore reason why someone is black or gay, as those people don't just exist irl.

[@ThePimpinator]

That doesn't work for some games. Look at Cyberpunk 2077. The one blatant transgender person in a game all about swapping body parts and cyborgs, is (afaik) the only time you'll see the transgender flag, slapped on the back of the same transgender character's truck, which you can eventually unlock to drive it, and many people are confused as to why transgenderism still exists in the world of cyberpunk. This was definitely an "inclusive, in your face" moment IMHO, while the logic behind it made no sense.

[@QWERTYUIOP-zo8xm]

@@ThePimpinator I don't know cyberpunk's lore behind body augs and how gender works there since I never played it, I'm more so commenting how for some there needs to be a lore reason why someone is gay, like they can't just have a world where some people happen to be gay.

[@DrinzenDrawz]

​@@QWERTYUIOP-zo8xmthink alot of people simply just don't realize exactly how many people are queer in real life, if they're brought up in a conservative area obviously they'll see less of it since more people are closeted there. I just think it's odd how many people throw a fit as soon as games starts to cater not only them but also to other groups of people.

[@zucxian2390]

I couldn't care less about a character's sexuality, but many game studios think that diversity can replace writing. Many companies think that being gay isn't a single attribute, but rather an entire personality that should be the crux of a character, and that is the problem.

[@jeremytesticleman1607]

I think one character that's personality is literally just being gay but is actually written well is Bernie from GTA 4. Im not going to go into full detail but basically in the beginning the protag is trying to track down the man who sold his unit out and you spend most of the 1st part of the game trying to track down this man who from the protag's personal experience viewed him as being one of the manliest and intimidating soldiers in the Yukoslovian army. Once the protag confronts Bernie, you find out he became super feminine and openly gay and we don't know why until Bernie reveals he wasen't the one who sold the unit out and when he directs the protag to the real betrayer he lets down his mask briefly and became super menacing before repressing his trauma and going back to himself. For the rest of the game he's just a regular dude who's super femmine and is openly gay thus his personality just being "im gay" but I thought that was pretty deep especially since you do jobs for Bernie since him masking his trauma also made him reject violence despite being just as skillful and hardened as the protag.

Tell me which sounds easier to believe. Corporate writers crowbarring diversity into there games as a lazy attempt to achieve the broadest audience possible in order to help recoup the unbelievably bloated development time and budgets of modern games, with said budgets also resulting in projects so insanely risk adverse that the games all become stale, repetitive and boring. So much so that some people, looking for any excuse decided to blame the increased diversity as the cause rather than this simply being the logical endpoint of demanding infinite growth from the gaming industry. OR some sort of conspiracy to ruin games by a group with a "woke agenda" because of what? Spite against their own audiences? Shadowy investment money?

Some people would rather go full conspiracy theory than admit that the monetary/corporate system behind game development is flawed.

Just watch this guys latest video and you‘ll quickly realize his actual problem is not the forced diversity with terrible writing in some video games (which I also think is a problem) but the existence of ANY diversity at all in video games, no matter how subtle or well written it is. He‘s simply using actual problems and extreme examples of them to push his agenda of hating anything that‘s NOT straight or otherwise conforming to traditional society. This video Pyro is watching doesn‘t make it entirely obvious that this is the case, as it could be handwaved away as simply being poorly communicated, but his other videos as well as their comment sections make his stance on homosexuality and other minorities VERY clear.

there's no such thing as "forced diversity". the term doesn't even make sense if you think about it at all. diversity exists, and it's baked into the creative process of making media because the people making it want diversity. there's nothing "forced" about that. of course his problem is the existence of any diversity, that's the point of being "antiwoke". people who "hate forced diversity" really just hate ANY diversity.

“They are heterosexual men like us” then laughs nervously he is definitely trying to not be gay and is taking it out on others

[@Entertainment0verdose]

The fix to this problem is just adding 50 oiled up buff men to every game very epic easy fix.

There is a difference between natural & genuine diversity (from the 80s to early 2010s) and forced & tokenized diversity (about 2014 onwards).
