    But they have influence on the games I do play (and spam the forums too). They don’t let us enjoy by forcing their gender (and sexual orientation) into games where it does not belong to. Mind you, I am not talking about roleplaying games where it makes sense, like Cyberpunk.

      The only people I’ve seen “spam the forums” are people whining about “DEI” and “woke” (source: like, 90% of the game discussion forums on Steam). Coincidentally, most of the ones that aren’t “just asking questions” have exactly the same “they’re forcing it on us” language, and you’ll have to pardon me for immediately finding that language suspect.

      No one is forcing a gender on you. No one is forcing a sexual orientation upon you. Only assholes that think conversion therapy is a valid thing think that’s okay. Frankly, it’s REALLY weird that you parse it that way, versus “these people exist, so of course they’re in games”. Are you bothered by characters that aren’t the same race as you?

      Your arguments fall apart immediately. Every. Single. Person. that buys games influences the ones that are released, and others are allowed to have opinions too and their perspectives included. And be real: no one’s “spamming” forums, you just don’t want to hear from anyone with a different world-view.

      They don’t let us enjoy by forcing their gender (and sexual orientation) into games where it does not belong to.

      Absolute nonsense, no one’s keeping you from enjoying whatever you like. And the developers made the game they wanted, nothing is being “forced in”. Did you know that you don’t have to play games you don’t agree with? I genuinely feel bad for your snowflake-ass. It’s clear that LGBTQ+ folks existing is too much for you to handle, and you miss the days where they were forced to hide who they are. Life is about change and growth, but you’re choosing to remain bigoted and angry…

      But you have influence on the games I play and force your gender and sexual orientation into games where it doesn’t belong.

      Since when is providing an option or a character existing forcing anything on you? Why are you in favor of less choice in games?
