If its optional to be gay in the game then it should also be optional to persecute gays in the game.
Why can't i hunt down all the gays in the game as an "optional" side quest? why can't i roleplay as a homophobic priest? why can't i report Hans to the Church for being gay? its all just "optional" right?
I like these ideas and have had them before.
I hear that Baldurs Gate 3 definitely has faggotry, but afaik you can also murder anyone for any reason, commit genocide, and be a hateful racist wretch.
I'm fine with "choice" as long as I'm provided with any and all of them. I usually don't play a bad guy, but I can tell what kind of game dev they are when they don't provide truly evil and fucked up choices
BG3 also didn't shy away from advertising this content front and center, whereas KCD2 denied them, the leaks were totally fake you guys until they weren't and now it's they're just optional!
