Alphabeticus the Queer

lol, trolling aside, this is precisely why I'll be waiting to see what they come up with before buying. If this looks or feels anything like Human Kind, I'm out. Will not play games with overt political left wing tones.

Nah what the ♥♥♥♥

No

this is bait. don't take the bait.

Yeah its definitely bait. But they're so gunna do it though.

I'll take the bait and say this: I say that only 5% of the characters be alphabetized, like in real life, and the other 95% be hetero-normative, like in real life...

Or... You ignore a person's attraction to a specific gender (given its an entirely boring and irrelevant component in CIV) and just focus on making the game.

This is the better idea. It's better to not show in game what proclivities they have.

If a leader is already known to be such, that's fine, but don't add in quotes reinforcing it.

Especially since such quotes are usually directed at player leaders, and there aren't separate quotes depending on which gender they are talking to.

How about more Catholic/Orthodox Saints as leaders? What could be more based. The opposite of what OP is 100% more likely. Saints are all over Civ 6.

Alexander the Great was probably gay or bi. Also Gustav V of Sweden. So we already had LGBTQ+ leaders, and it's likely that Alexander will return :)

This is so misinformed its tragic. Sexuality as we understand today is totally incompatible with ancient practices. I dare say many people in the LGBTQ+ community would be offended being compared to people in ancient times.

Secondly, Alexander had multiple wives and the suggestion he was bi or even gay is historically contentious with no clear evidence to suggest he was either of those things.
