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
