'Don't get me wrong, this guy's an outright Nazi, but what if people were just calling names for a bunch of reasons I'm about to pull from my ass?'

I have negative respect for that 'juuust becaaaaaause' horseshit. It's bad faith and it's insulting. Absolutely fucking no-one is being labeled "based solely on their sexual orientation," and you goddamn well know it. No shit role-playing your real-life choices "doesn't make one a bigot," but fortunately, that's a fantasy, sourced from the vicinity of your pelvis.

You lot always fixate on the mechanism. Like purchase and theft are interchangeable because either way you walk off with a thing you found. As if saying "removing gay stuff is censorship" must be judged in a veil of perfect ignorance, devoid of all history, context, implication, or inference. As if you're not fully aware there is no shortage of heterosexuality in media, and an order of magnitude less gay. As if you can't figure out how having slightly less of that overwhelming supermajority is different from seeing that minority erased.

‘Don’t get me wrong, this guy’s an outright Nazi, but what if people were just calling names for a bunch of reasons I’m about to pull from my ass?’

How on earth did you spin my post to say this? And then turn around and accuse me of arguing in bad faith. Wow. Lol

But the idea that someone would want the characters to reflect them in the game doesn’t make one a bigot

But labelling some people bigots and others not for the same action, based solely on their sexual orientation

Lie better.
