I'll never understand anti lgbtq+ people. They absolutely think you can catch gay, and it's the most maddening, sort of hilarious, mostly depressing thing.
Even more depressing? The vast majority of those hardcore bigots think that because they personally feel the pull to the gay when they see gay things.....and so when a bigoted dude sees Ryan Gosling and gets a tingly pee pee, he assumes that it must be possible to catch gay because he is "catching it". It's why so many bigots are found to be doing the things they profess to hate. It's why Grindr explodes when a republican conference is in town. It's why trans porn is so popular in red states.
There are books you could write on the phenomenon, but I think this just about distills every concept down to the root of what it means to be part of it
Often the people who have the absolute least contact with LGBT people (or none at all) are the ones who complaint the loudest. We all piss and moan about the people who actually know, but you can only hate and fear the unknown this much. Only a rube moron can possibly think that having a gay guy live in your town means you better be ready to have the sailor from The Village People grinding and twerking on you everywhere you go. For the rest of us, it’s just “Who? You mean Dennis?”
Being in a supportive environment and seeing LGBTQ+ people having happy free lives makes people more willing to explore their own identity. So it kind of spreads that in way
You can literally be gay in every Fallout game (well, not Tactics). I would be surprised as hell if the one they just announced would not have those traits available. That would be cringe as fuck, too.
"Ew. Obsidian turned lame and started sucking fascist dick."
Tactics doesn't really have the RPG parts. There's no romancing or anything at all. It's pretty much just combat. You don't even have a singular PC. Other than your first party, you get random recruits to do with what you want kinda like Xcom.

If they wanted it to sound scary they shouldn't have given it as cool a name as the woke mind virus

didn't new vegas have a perk that let you seduce male characters, and had a gay prostitute in it. Fallout has always been gay and woke

You can have same sex partners in fallout 2 and 3 as well.

The entirety of right wing ideology is built upon being a sad miserable piece of shit.

It’s because they are closeted and won’t admit it to themselves. Because if THEY have gay feelings it must obviously be a choice

Ai sucks, but other than the thumbnail using it... It really slaps. I want a version drawn by someone.

Yeah I am not sure about Tactics but every other game gives you that option

I thought the point of fallout was that they were cringe and gay
Like the whole meme was that everyone who liked new vegas was either an NRA gun nut or eventually comes out as trans with a fetish for tanks

Found it in the twitter thread (which is unexpectedly nice):
Edit: found the link to the original thumbnail, which is slightly higher quality and in JPG: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WEA-3lokp6U/maxresdefault.jpg

What's that little arch in the bottom? Is that the guy's logo? If so I'll cover it with ED-E.
