Sometimes I think about the dense-ass gamer bros who went to the forums and legit asked “Doctor Richards keeps calling me his little buttercup and flirting with me and I think he thinks I’m playing as a girl??? Is this a bug????”
Like not only are these idiots so used to not having to see or think about gays that they completely missed the BLATANT gay subtext of the Confirmed Bachelor perk when they took it for the Sweet Damage, but they were more prepared to assume that a man hitting on them was a bug than to believe Obsidian would put an openly gay man in their shooty shooty game as a respected officer among the “good guys”
But they still feel like any queer rep at all is overwhelming pandering after they got used to not having to look at us at all for most of gaming history
i think about these a lot
Arcade Gannon: I like men. I’m interested in men. I like to date men. I would like for another man to woo me.
Gamerbo1zzzz: is Arcade gay? Does anyone know? I’m not sure. Does this mean he’s gay??
Ah! Hes the same guy who provides women selfies that they could use if they feel threatened!
So he’s smart, diligent, has a variety of interests, looks out for women, and he’s pretty good looking if my mostly-lesbian assessment is worth anything
Imagine how little candles must have cost in the 1700s. Must’ve been pretty cheap, right? With everyone using them all the time instead of electricity? Now think about how much they cost now. 20 some dollars for a candle. What if we could go back to when candles were cheap? Wouldn’t you want that? What if we could make that happen.
