LGBT in 1995? Get a freaking grip!

Yes LGBTQ was also a thing in the 90s already.
First CSD was even in the 70s

The 80s/90s were the zenith time of techno music, which has its origins in the gay scene.
So queer people were already pretty normal in most developed countries that time, or in the underground Techno scene at least.

Not sure why people are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill on 2024 because of that.

It was only in large, large cities like San Fran, etc. It was still taboo to be gay.

I grew up in Wisconsin and if someone was gay it wasn't anything special, it was they were gay and the conversation moved on. It wasn't some kind of taboo to anyone I knew and I was around religious people and me not being religious was more taboo than someone being gay. It wasn't really talked about. I have two family members who are gay or Bi and don't conduct themselves like some of these people in the LGBT community that need this constant affirmation or treat it like some kinda religion to be gay bi/trans or whatever you want to call yourself.

I disagree, the more the better 💅

those double lightning bolts there are not a good look babe

In smaller towns it definitely was.

I really like the stories, and even Tell Me Why is a good game, because... there is an unobtrusive agenda.
In Life Is Strange you can avoid LGBT topics.

I want to believe that here they won’t shove 4 girls in my face who hate men and love each other

Think about how you feel right now. Would you say the feeling is oppressive? Now imagine how you feel but it's the other way around. Everything around you is cishet always.

It's almost like there IS an agenda being pushed but not by the crowd they think it is

I was refering to developed countries, not to some hillbilly counties in the US.

I mean, I grew up in the 80s and 90s, so I know it first-hand.

I had my childhood in a small village, and I remember a gay couple living there.
Noone cared, no pitchforks and torches in frond of their house, and no burning cross....

We did just not talk about it, as far as i can remember.
But I was still a little kid, so I didn't hear everything though.
All I knew was that they were two men living together, and I was fine with it.
They were totally accepted, even by the elderly people. Nothing new for them as well.
It's not like homosexuality was an invention of nowadays only.
It's been existing since mankind exists.

So yes, gay might be not have been quite normal all the time, but it's also nothing abnormale.

So i don't get why people suddenly start making an issue out of it.

It's the main reason why I stopped caring about their titles. I stopped after LiS1.

If you don't care, why are you here then?

You never intended to play the game nor do you care about the game. You just saw another game that doesn't cater to incels like you and attack it for it.

1 second into the trailer could tell you this was another DEI-ESG title.
