Baldur's Gate 3 was brilliantly constructed to hide its gay content behind big story reveals. You can't talk specifics without majorly spoiling the story.

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?

People talk about how great it was, not about anything actually from the game. It's fad signaling.

I think you don't hear about OP's story points because it's had almost zero cultural impact other than from the media surrounding it (bear sex and whatever).

Asmongold played it for an hour and it's just a tool to him to argue against DLC and big studios.
