I sometimes see people claiming Baldur's Gate 3 isn't woke. It occurs to me that this is only possible because people don't publicly spoil the story.
So here's what happens in BG3.
Act 2: the macguffin you've been searching for is actually an angel. A female angel. A butchy lesbian female angel. Who is fucking the bad guy's daughter. And that badass lesbian angel totally kills her girlfriend's mean dad.
Act 3: the mindflayer you've been working with is actually Baldur, the namesake of the entire franchise. Also, there's a dragon living beneath the city. And the two of them were gay lovers. That's right. Baldur's Gate was named after a gay mindflayer who was fucking a gay dragon.
So the biggest reveals in the game are super fucking gay, but no one talks about them because that would be spoiling the story. Isn't that clever?
Who says Baldur's Gayte 3 isn't gay?
It was gay before it released. It had early access and a shitload of people were talking about getting sexual advances from anyone/everyone regardless of gender. There were screenshots of a bunch of it months before it released.
Plus it had "body type" in character select IIRC. That alone is enough for me to nope out of a game.
There are thousands of good or better games from 2007-2018 that are visually only slightly behind modern games but with better stories, and an assload of games from 1990-2006 that are graphically inferior but gameplay superior.
People don't say it isn't gay. They say it isn't woke. Usually because they either haven't seen how gay it is or they're simply being disingenuous.
Good example: asmongold recently said on a stream that bg3 isn't woke. Now part of that is he's probably afraid to go against a popular game with a lot of fans. It's a lot easier to dunk on failures like concord. But truthfully, he just didn't play it. If he had, then he would never say it's not woke.
And tbh, I think that's the main reason he didn't play it. He has played tons of games outside of his comfort zone because they were popular, but he's never touching bg3.
