Because there's nothing wrong with storytelling where the only roles queer men are allowed to have is either a one-note villain, a rapist and groomer, or a sexual assaulter.

There's a world of difference between "gay characters aren't morally perfect" and "all queer men are either evil or rapists."

Being a lesbian just means that you don't care how queer men are dehumanized by the story, because Larian is happy to relish in fetishization of queer female stories while it vilifies queer male sexuality. If that's what you want, then you want storytelling where every queer man is expected to be or is explicitly a rapist for being a queer man.

Honey, you're reaching here. Very hard. No one was crying about lesbian character in Horizon Forbidden West when she was evil. Why? Because we accept that gay characters can be flawed and they should be flawed, it makes them feel human, not some caricature of a person.
