The big question is whether the "based" moderates will quietly go along with the lunatic fringe like their "woke" counterparts did, or show they've actually learned from history and cut the clown-show contingent off.

Right (although being burned alive was rare), but gay people still existed in medieval Bobemia.

I'm sure they have existed literally everywhere and through all of time. Social presentation or etc is the only question I'd think.

Anyone who says they "didn't exist" at any particular time, era, or culture surely must be suggesting it wasn't accepted or promoted in a given time, era, or culture. But if they are suggesting they literally did not exist before X time, that's pretty silly. And I'm sure some do suggest that, but just saying.

Agreed. We don't know (at least I don't know) how the developers are handling this. If it's historically accurate then no issue.

If however gay people are just socially accepted like today then that's historically inaccurate.

Wait and see, but I have no issue at the moment with a gay character in this game.

Same. It's all about presentation. If it's presented in manners such as KCD, I'm golden and will be there day 0. If I don't need to upgrade my GPU, that is.

Exactly. The first game let you handle that situation pretty well. You could roleplay it like you wanted...either medieval style or rather chilled. I am pretty sure it will be no different in KCD2. 🤷‍♂️

I'm okay with that since I skip Saudia Arabia because it doesn't align with my morals, too. Get fucked, unreformed shit hole.

very interesting that they are good as long as you can skip the scenes while the woke journalist want to force woke content and "How dare you" if you give an option that is not woke

No, I am sure it’s going to be “Mandatory Unskippable Gay Sex” where Hans and Henry are going to be railing each other in the rear TLOU2 Abby style!

Saudi Arabia and morons on the internet said the devs are now woke so I have to believe!

My guess is a lord gets caught bumming someone and you have to decide to help get him off ( :messenger_sunglasses: ) or get him convicted.

Maybe they'll cut his cock off or something

It's not worth fighting over a scene with a gay guy. Gay people exist and always have done.

If the game had a trans character who was talking about their recent top surgery to a non-binary person then I'd get it. That would be immersion breaking in a historical game set in the medieval era. But a single scene with a gay person? No.

It's this sort of nonsense that makes the pendulum swing the other way. We need to get over this "woke" vs "chud" culture war bollocks and strive for balance.

the beauty of our movement is that we're not monolith, each of us is our own individual with our own opinion, in-fighting will happen, but we're free to speak our mind. there's not one voice/narrative that controls us

that's what makes us different than the wokes

What movement are you referring to?

EnzoArt said:
Yes, but not openly, if the game allows you to be gay without being secretive, we already know that it follows an agenda.

I agree with this point. Any gay person in this game would need to hide their sexuality out of fear of percussion. That would be historically accurate.

Movement? What you talking about. Nothing is organized about this.

So now that its confirmed banned, how do we all feel about how the dev has treated those who asked and he refused to be honest and confirm and instead attack us?

Well, can't tell if genuinely concerned, but the code of conduct was far left draconian racist stuff, a response was justified. As to the rest, well, eh.

I was more surprised by the reactions that people are "revolting" and going "ballistic". I mean okay.....but geeez lol. Is any of this that important?

The game's preview copies have been out for a good bit now. Is there any actual proof out there of these claims? Game's out in less than a week now.

Shame. No GOTY potential here if I can’t clap cheeks on a well hung fella.

There is, but it's an optional thing like any other BioWare or Western RPG.

However, the game is banned in saudi, it was on the Xbox Saudi page a few days ago, but I cannot find it today. So the ban has definitely been implemented on it now.

Sucks for people living there looking forward to it, now the only choice they have is international import. (Or vpn)

This scene is literally in the first 20 minutes of the game and is literally Henry and Hans going to check out some girls.

Hmmm. The last game did kind of okay., How can we market this to a larger audience?

See above. Not a “gay” scene.

Can we stop getting our panties in a twist over shit that isn’t true before a game even comes out?

I've lived both in Saudi and Germany for a decent amount of time (I'm from neither), and between the two Saudi has definitely got the more civilized and peaceful society, and crime there is nearly non-existent. Its funny when people have a narrow view and a quick to blindly point fingers without true examination of their beliefs.
