Going through my Ma/ss Ef/fect tag and seeing SO MUCH of the discussion around Bi/owa/re's treatment of queer characters (and by extension queer fans), remembering how this was a whole thing every single time a new game came out bc they seemingly never learned

And then juxtaposing that up against B/G3 where this just... wasn't a thing? To remember all the turmoil around this shit and feel such an overwhelming sense of relief that every character is available to any gender or race, instead of gating off romances for especially queer people or the less "conventionally pretty" player races. Ideally we'd have a bigger variety of queer identities among the LIs (like lesbians or ace characters etc), but not having to worry as a queer player whether you will get the short end of the stick again is just so nice? for once?

#Sunny Life #idk man I was just feeling something when I wrote this at 6 AM #no amount of ''uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh playersexual bluh bluh biphobia'' can take that feeling away from me #ESPECIALLY when it comes to the queer male romances #that gay and bi men also get to experience the range of all these different types of romances instead of having to #settle for the one romance that didn't go 'eww no homo' when they tried to flirt with them (if they got any at all)#not that Bi/owa/re didn't have some great romances available to queer players but things were rarely on an equal footing #especially in Ma/ss Ef/fect (one of its greatest flaws tbh)
