@coreyhughes1456 Depends on how they are added to the game, not how many there are. I think there are some determining factors. Is the sexuality of importance? Is the sexuality merely a trait and not their entire personality? Those are my two main questions when looking at it. If you think about it, according to statistics there's like a 1/10 that someone is non-heterosexual if I remember correctly. The very vast majority of them are inconsequential and you'd never know unless they told you. That's how reality works. Games should be a reflection of that, otherwise it will not feel right, it will feel unnatural. When someone's sexuality is showcased just for the sake of it, that's something which doesn't really happen. Then there's games like Baldur's Gate 3 where you're the one who decides, it is done in a very natural way and it is driven by player choice. Someone not interested in it will naturally avoid it without thinking about it, someone who is might make such choices. Baldur's Gate 3 is inclusive and is widely accepted even among the anti-woke crowd, because it is done well and in a natural non-intrusive way. Look at the examples of inclusiveness that people are fine with and understand why they are fine with it when they are otherwise not. Context is key and most game studios don't know a locksmith.

A bisexual friend of mine is anti-woke, dude just hates it vehemently. It has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality. Shit, I'm even asexual myself which is one of those things the woke crowd supposedly care about, though they actually don't. Unless you're a non-heterosexual asexual, they'll still find a way to despise you.

That dude is so clueless that I honestly feel sorry for him. I'd say most people these days in western countries are fine with gay people, at least to the point of acceptance. I want that guy to understand that the woke stuff is essentially the same as adding anti-gay propaganda in a game just for the sake of having it there and shoving it in your face. Neither is a good thing. Things need to be carefully considered, planned and written to make everything fit into the world of the game. People just want good games with vibrant worlds, the woke propaganda just happens to interfere with that, not because of what it stands for, but because of how they add it and preach their ideology.
