Garbage article but the devs spoke well.
I do think that not mocking someone in any medium for their sexuality is important, meaning representation is good, but that's about it.... I don't remember ever playing a game that mocked non heterosexual people, maybe GTA? I wish he listed some games that mocked gay people etc, since he said there were so many.
Quoting: "actually written as gay" - this makes absolutely no sense. The sexuality does not make the personality, or it shouldn't, that's why "playersexual" games work well enough. Unless the writer wants the character to constantly remind the player that they are gay by bitching all the time or overgesticulating or talking like "thiiiiiiiiiis" which are gay stereotypes.
