Just reminds me of that guy whining to Josh Sawyer about getting gay dialogue choices in New Vegas only to get told you only get those when you pick the perk that confirms you're gay

[-] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago

I didn't know "confirmed bachelor" was a euphemism for gay men until like a month or 2 ago.

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 51 points 2 years ago

It makes sense for the setting because that’s a hella old timey way to say it.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

I'd heard it a few times growing up, but it's funny that it does the exact same thing as the Lady Killer perk, but guy couldn't put two and two together

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago

To be fair you can take both perks, being bi is overpowered hexbear-bi-2

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

If im full min max mode then I'm gay cause you mostly fight dudes and I wear glasses for the perception bonus

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

Very true

The bisexual urge to defeat your lover in armed combat is very strong

Both Lady Killer and Confirmed Bachelor can be picked, explicitly making the Courier bisexual.

MFW my sexual orientation is literally a perk in fallout hexbear-bi-2

This is Cherchez Le femme and Black Widow erasure (The Female versions of the perks).

totally no fragile masculinity to be found here

This guy wouldn't last 5 seconds in a MW2 lobby

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Didn't even call him gay lol. It just remarked that all of the units were men. This guy had the most closeted reaction I've seen in quite a while. "Oh so you're saying I'm gay just because all my units are men? You're saying I love men huh? You're saying I would just love to fuck men huh? That's what you are saying, is it? That I'd just love to suck a big fat juicy cock?"

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This comment reminds me of that one post where the guy is commenting on his friends balls and is like “I’m not gay but my friend has juicy smooth balls. both balls, each exactly the same size as the other”

Gamers: Everything is allowed in humor. Don't be so easily offended, it's just a joke, everybody is just looking for reasons to get offended.

Game: You seem to like men.

Gamers: pronouns

"I prefer Strong Able Bodied Men in my fantasy video game. "

"I wonder if this speaks to the Arisen's preference?"

"NOO NOT LIKE THAT wojak-nooo "

Hey only my anonymous friends on 4chan can call me the f-word!

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

4chan polycules would solve a lot of social problems
but it would require a lot of being honest with themselves

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 62 points 2 years ago

NPC Dialogue: "I have noticed all of us are men."
This guys' reaction: "Oh so you're saying I'm gay, huh?"
thonk

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 years ago

Well to be fair the dialogue has a cheeky reference to the players ahem preferences

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

You're the only one putting in the "ahem".
The game is literally just pointing out the obvious. The player has a preference for men.

[-] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

So you're just going to be purposefully obtuse about this one, huh

It’s really funny when reactionaries think they would’ve been some patrician army general in ancient and medieval times, or some noble chivalric knight trying to win m’lady’s hand, and not some peon peasant who’s sent as a decoy to be killed while the main army is flanking the side

[-] ComradeEchidna@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

patrician army general in ancient

They don't understand how crazy unlikely that would be. To be appointed a General, you had to be the patrician class, be in the Senate (only a few hundred members) and have the right connections, experience, age etc. The vast majority of Roman's were subsistence farmers outside of big cities. A life of tilling a field and wondering if your elderly parents or young children might starve if the season is bad.

And even if you as a commoner joined a legion, were the strongest/smartest/luckiest/bravest soldier your career would plateua at a senior centurion. And even if you were senior centurion commanding the first cohort (nearly 1000 men equivalent to roughly a full bird colonel), you are still a plebian and it's exceedingly unlikely to you to rise any higher unless someone adopted you into a noble house and that was uncommon (though not rare).

pronounjak: "Men good, women bad."

Game: "Whoa, easy there Shadow Kanji."

pronounjak-rage: "WHAT!?!?!??!?!"

Bro, the game made a homophobic joke, something you specifically asked for more of. What more do you want?

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 52 points 2 years ago

Dudes in a sausagefest never comment or make jokes about how they're in a sausagefest.

For soulless biorobots with no will of their own the pawns sure are sassy.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago

Several chuds have posted their angry tears about the game's pawns questioning their sexuality. Critical support to Dragon's Dogma 2.

Talk about fragile masculinity. Geez.

This person has a fragile sticker put on them before boarding a flight

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

He's right that there's significant historical evidence that men are way better at floating around in the air and summoning huge lightning bolts than women are. I'm glad this game is so committed to realism.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

he do be sounding a teeny bit snowflakey tbh maya-devious
