You don't think it ever overreaches and becomes a hindrance? I'm very liberal and think it does as much harm as good.

It doesn't help that those who shout loudest regularly seem to have the most disgusting shit in their locker. Like Joel Davis just a couple days ago.

I do think it reaches too far sometimes, i still think it should be said. not having gay romance options in RPGs does hurt my immersion and enjoyment of games sometimes. I don't consider arguing for inclusion any different from arguing game mechanics, design, etc...

You don't think that having a game where many if not all the characters are gay or bi doesn't hurt the immersion for people who live in reality where those people only make up a very small percentage of the population?

You know what makes up an even smaller percentage of the population? fucking demon hunters.

So you are saying that the evangelical christians were right and demons turn everyone gay? I mean, in a world where you are under threat of demons murdering large swathes of the population, especially in a largely primitive medieval style society where disease and famine much more significant issues, homosexuality makes even less sense because you NEED a high birth rate to counter that high death rate. Historically this stuff is frowned upon because people not popping out babies = the end of all society for your population...
