No ones gonna complain about lesbian characters. Either you like gay representation or you think lesbians are hot. A truly brave move would be to make your male action character gay.

So... like 10 characters being lgbt compared to the 99% of straight characters is now "most"???

(And even among the lgbt options, many of them are just optional choices)

I think the bigger story regarding Horizon is how everything about it seems to always get mogged by some other game. Whenever there's gonna be Horizon news another game always steals its thunder. It's uncanny.

I only heard about this when someone mentioned Aloy was the first LGBT Genshin character. Considering I dont play either game, Im not sure how to feel about the fact thats how I learned about it. I kind of assumed it had been a thing for a long time, since I heard nobody mention it.

I'm mostly annoyed that they waited until this dlc to give Aloy a romance option. There were several characters that could have worked before.

I'd say having an avatar where you can choose is more the norm in western games(Life is strange, Mass Effect, Dragon age, cyberpunk) Although Fire emblem do have gay options now and honestly Sylvando was the most obvious "queer coded" character of all time in Dragon quest so it's starting to appear more and more into japenese games.

It's not really 'the norm" though as there's still more games released with only straight relationships than not

Ok. Main character is not an avatar, but all three games allow a same sex and straight options. Although prequel kinda show Chloe as lesbian so I am not sure if she is bi or lesbian

I doubt anybody's going to be pissed off by this because she's a new character without any previously established relationships. This isn't an Iceman situation where some writer decided he was randomly gay after decades of him hitting on women where we literally see his thought bubbles.

Comics reboot themselves all the time. It isn't the same exact character or same exact stories every time. Not sure why the sexual orientation of a character has to be set in stone. It's not like being a womanizer was a main part of his character, like Gambit for example.
