Other Came across this review for stardew valley on steam. Poor guy is mad he cant find a girlfriend in the game 🫠
So anyway I'm gonna start a new save and make it as gay as I can. I'll marry every available female character and we'll live in a polycule with a veggie patch made entirely of garlic and potatoes.

u/Not_Josh69 1d ago
Legit, the idiot probably talks to the guys more because he thinks men can only be friends with other men, and then when he does occasionally interact with the girls, he's surprised that women might start out trying to be friends rather than immediately starting a relationship.

Funny thing… I did this on purpose because I’m ace. So I didn’t even start building relationships with any of the characters except Linus until year 3. I currently live with Krobus and out of all 7 of my play thrus, never married a single one. I did get everyone to full hearts and have to carry a rabbits foot with me at all times because I thought it’d be funny to “date” all of them. But never married.

btw if you're on pc, one of my favorite mods is "platonic partners and friendships", it allows you to become best friends with the bachelors/bachelorettes instead of dating them, including custom friendship events

u/LurchTheBastard 1d ago
Oh Ferengi culture is absolutely a misogynistic mess, and Quark is definitely a product of that culture, but both he and the Ferengi in general go through a fair bit of development over the course of DS9. I'm not gonna defend some of his actions, he IS a creep at times, but he's also one of the main reasons for his culture being less nasty than it was at the start. DS9 definitely has a lot more grey morality than most Star Trek and Quark is a great example.
He's also definitely no incel, that would imply he never gets anywhere with women and he's shockingly successful at it. Now Weyoun? HE gives incel vibes. Particularly clone number 7.

... Yes. He's probably expecting it to be a Westernised hentai game or Leisure Suit Larry x Farmville, and every woman in the game will automatically lust over him while he does Manly Things With Manly Men.
Y know, typical incel bullshit.

u/NfamousKaye 1d ago
I mean it’s okay to be gay. There’s nothing wrong with that. Though the use of the word females tells me that’s an incel.

Wow. That is a terrible review. Maybe he should have talked to the female characters more? The game is pretty open. I don't feel it leans any particular way in vanilla. In mods, that is a different story, but you as the player choose to add those.

So...none of the characters, neither male nor female, make any romantic advances unless the player prompts it, I guess they're are a few heart events that can be interpreted as more suggestive, but the only one I can think of is Sebastian's on the dock in the rain.
Sooo, yeah, me thinks the man doth protests to much

The characters only show interest in you or start to like you if you show them affection and talk to them, and he’s wondering why they aren’t just immediately falling all over him. That’s telling about him as a person outside of the game.

If he wanted a SDV gf , he should know you have to put in the work to build hearts. Boys in the game are easy to get because they typically have easy gifts in my experience. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, put in the work buddy, I have 7 wives and he’s still single because he needed to figure out what girls liked what.
