#and also his 14 heart event is complete and utter bullshit i hate it

my one really big gripe w sdv is how poorly alex is written for like 50% of his arc. i think the drastic difference in his demeanor based on the player’s gender is just. why. bisexual people exist and can figure out they’re bisexual while in a “straight” relationship. like imagine alex unpacking his misogynistic behavior and admitting it was a defense mechanism that resulted from his struggles with his sexuality (trust me when i say this poor sap does not have access to queer education and probably doesn’t know what bisexuality is until the farmer shows up). i want more discussions about the impact his dad had on him! him working through the loss of his mom! his relationship w his grandparents! theres so much depth to alex as a character and for most of the game he’s reduced to a washed up D1 athlete and that’s so fucking disappointing.
