Hmm. Okay, there are various different topics all thrown together here, and I’m afraid that bundling them like this makes this look like an objection to LGBT content in the game, despite the disclaimer.
In fact, I’ve not seen a discussion of these topics yet which hasn’t attracted offensive comments, either intentional or just out of ignorance, and because of that they’re not subjects I’m keen to see debated here. Our priority is to be a friendly, safe space for everyone to discuss the game, regardless of sexuality, and if that means steering clear of a small minority of topics that disproportionately attract argument and offensive comments and derail constructive debate, then so be it.
I have also said numerous times on these forums that bringing in wider political debates is not appropriate, which is what referring to a “woke agenda” is doing. That is language that is very specific to a particular political stance, being derogatory about an opposing political stance, so is not something that someone should be casually chucking into a post on an open, diverse, global community about computer games. And I’m afraid “gay spam” is the final straw that is getting this thread locked.
As these topics have already been discussed elsewhere on these forums, I’d encourage anyone interested in the topic to search and read what has been said before.
Specifically on the romance triggers/reactivity, I’d suggest

https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=880883. That is now locked as it got to the point where the ratio of constructive discussion to circular argument/moderator effort wasn’t justifiable, but it still demonstrates the range of views folk have on the topic.
