Well its a Greece set game. The fact that the gay option is incredibly difficult to achieve compared to how super easy it is to get the hetero is the least realistic thing about it.
I'm sure there might've been some weird subcultural communities here and there, just based on some of the weird and obscure experimental-type philosophers and the some of the quirky regional cults here and there.
Ancient Greek culture and Greek peoples as a whole though were nowhere near as degenerate as modern Hollywood and Academia have been trying to paint things. The oddball examples I'm thinking of were pretty rare exceptions, that usually had pretty small (if any) followings.
Plus I think most of the quirky examples weren't degenerate so much as whimsical. And I'm being vague here because I have no particular recollection of any of the names I'd come across, and it's a rather long list to go through.
Edit: Correction, brain's out of it right now. Totally forgot about the colorful details throughout Greek mythology. Even so, it's one thing to come up with weird and grotesque stories, and quite another to actually practice them.
I could believe its gayness is overstated and almost certainly is.
Claiming at all as if decadent civilizations don't constantly resort to degeneracy is just as naive. The fact that they have half a dozen words for it shows that it clearly existed, and they had plenty of shame around it.
the first game had a homo "romance" option and had getting homos together as a major sidequest, and the normal romance is degenerate female domination
I never did the romance options.
I just played the main story and got the complete ending.
"degen femdom bullshit"
Sounds like my kind of game! Gonna pick it up.
