What you've quoted is beyond me. Why on earth would I want to know or be interested in an individuals sexuality who is not my partner?! Whether or not, sexuality is a key part of someone's "personality" or not, who cares but then why would you lead an introduction which includes your sexual orientation?! That's seems odd and inappropriate.I do 100% get what you mean, particularly in the context of this game, but I don’t think this sentiment is particularly fair tbh. It’s not just about how you treat others, but how others can feel isolated / stressed / on edge (in pretty reasonable ways) and that can make it a very significant part of your life experience and identity.
I was listening to a chat with someone recently who said something about this that made me think… he said:
“people think that ‘coming out as being gay’ is something that you do just once to your parents or whatever but actually, I have to deal with the stress of ‘coming out’ to every single new person I meet.
And I’ve had to deal with that on top of me just figuring out who I am otherwise, and people otherwise getting to know me.”
^ sharing because I think that’s pretty insightful - I didn’t really think of it like that before. Yeah, it’s not your ‘whole identity’… but… it is kind of a big deal, if you do have to deal with it.
Perhaps I'm the dinosaur and this is well off topic for a gaming thread
