Ah didn't think about it that way. Still waaaay to awkward for me to play. Even with that in mind that still means it's not really a game meant for someone like me. Plain and simple, plain vanilla. Whatever the reason for it, it just makes sense to make it a bi game and remove the sexualities all together. Functionally they do nothing.  If you are unable to implement the way sexuality actually works don't include it at all. I also want to add it IS weird that a women can turn on a gay man in combat and yes it's weird with straight men being attracted to gay men too. It shouldn't be a thing. Realistically though what in society is more acceptable to label yourself as gay or straight? You know the answer. You can always excuse a "straight" man being attracted to your character with just being insecure in himself  (and actually being bi or gay) or some shit. You cannot say the same for the main character you create with the sole purpose of embodying your own identity and honest attraction (It is you and you know what you get it up to) . And if some magic brain fog causes you to magically be bi then once again that implies it's some sorta choice (because no forms of conversion therapy irl changes someones attraction) There is no purpose to it being there. I understand the limitations but at a certain point it's dumb to have sexual identities for sexual identities sake if you aren't able to make them work. Why not make sexuality choose the enemy encounters? Or if you can't make them work just remove them? A few throw away lines about your character being "gay" right after losing and getting fucked by a girl doesn't really do anything to remedy that. It's like a band aid on a gash, and honestly it comes off as the good ole "Every gay guy would enjoy pussy if he had the right one" line. I'd honestly just have the character be bi so it didn't create that disconnect.

My main problem with this is the implication it's a choice to be gay. Like gay shouldn't even be an option if your character is going to be bi anyways. By that I mean women turn your character on even when you are gay AND some options you can pick unknowing such as the bushes scene imply your character is attracted to a women. This could be an opportunity to implement a game mechanic but nonono. There is no point of adding sexuality if you're going to do this. Not trying to nag but I've had women IRL force themselves on me to try to "make" me straight (btw I did not get "rock hard" like this game would suggest a gay man would.) Having it in games that give me the "option" to be "gay" is just annoying. I understand bi people exist but if you're gonna make a bi game for bi folk with a male leaning can you just say that. No I'm not going to play a game where my sexuality is basically implied just not to exist. Certain options shouldn't even be options when you're gay. How about putting a gay (questioning) and straight (questioning) option, that way if people want that for the rp they can and that way you don't come off like you're borderline implying sexuality is a choice. I just can't play this as the way it is.
