Yeah but they were just groomed to lefty sympathies by Shigeru Miyamoto
Someone should overlay the graph showing the rise of the acceptance of left-handedness over time, with a graph of Zelda releases over time.
„But what‘s the plot reason for them being gay? I don‘t mind gay people being in something, but if there‘s not a reason for it, then it‘s just pandering!“
You mean, the same reason why anybody's gay? They're born that way?
What do they expect? "A wizard turned him gay."
This is where the line gets blurry tho. On one hand, yeah, bigots exist, but on the other hand, I could see this being a clumsy attempt at complaining about poor writing.
Like, I'm pretty sure I said something like this when Rowling said Dumbledore was gay. I'm not cishet, amd it still feels like she retconned that in for points, especially now that we're seeing exactly what she thinks about LGBT stuff.
Oh she absolutely did. Just like she did the “i never said Hermione *wasn’t * Black” thing, despite having described her cheeks as “pink” on more than one occasion.
But that’s not what the people i was quoting mean. They’re doing the “straight, white, cis, man is the default, and anything deviating from that needs an explicit in-universe explanation”.
There was a thing that did the rounds a while back which was variations on “what race are you? White or political?”, “what’s your sexuality? Straight or political?”, etc.
it’s basically that. Straight guy? Fine. Gay guy? “But what’s the *reason *he’s gay? How is it relevant to the plot?”
If you don't need a plot reason for a male character to have a wife, then you don't need a plot reason for a male character to have a husband.
Oh it's OK. The main character is a woman.
Genuinely struggling to think of any game where you play a gay man... Like as a forced thing, not an option like Fable 2.
