Yeah but those aren't the same on the nose reminder of real life politics that dragon age is guilty of

The game literally stops to lecture you on how progressive of a game it is, it's just stupid virtue signaling

LGBTQ people existing in video games is only "political" if you're a bigot. It's really that simple.

There are lots of games who have LGBT that literally nobody has a problem with. BG3 is good example

This one is alright, it's "one of the good ones".

Then there's The Last of Us Pt. 2. One of the best narrative games I have ever played, and probably the best of that year (I don't remember what else came out). Just an amazing experience with a fantastic, deep, heart-wrenching story...

Remember how that one turned out? I'm pretty sure at least one voice actor was getting literal death threats for voicing a non gender-conforming main character... Just think about how fucking stupid that is for a moment. The person reading a script into a microphone... That would be like threatening Sebastian Stan because he played Trump in that shitty movie.

This is why we can't have nice things. I love video games, but "gamers" are just embarrassing. I don't want to be associated with that shit.
