    Honest question, can anyone actually name a mainstream game where the main playable character is canonically and explicitly portrayed as gay?

    I honestly can’t even think of one.

      That’s what makes it even more pathetic, literally just being given the option of a gay subplot is having it shoved down their throats.

      It’s so ridiculous that I question how many of the complaints we see online are even sincere, because surely people aren’t that dumb.

      A bunch of characters in Apex Legends are canonically gay, trans, nonbinary, bi, pansexual, and Mirage. As a hero shooter, I guess there’s no real “main” character as such.

      Aloy in Horizon is pretty much there if the Burning Shores DLC is any indication, although she seems to be a work in progress as a fully developed person.
