Taboo lesbian romances in games
Taboo lesbian romances in games
Hey guys,
Do any of you know of games with a lesbian romance (involving the protagonist) where that is a taboo or illegal in that setting/society and is actually acknowledged as such? Through mechanics or narrative for example?

My guess is he's pointing out how lesbians were used to force gays in games by making it socially acceptable slowly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Can't be very taboo if they're in every single ******* game since 200X.

I'd say I expect you to be able to understand the positions being solicited but you've already demonstrated you're completely incapable of understanding any positions but your own.

You can express surprise at Leliana's flirting with your female PC, but there's not really any consequence.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 13:12I don't remember thisKalarion wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 12:37Dragon Age: Origins you ******* mongrel ******** ******.Unhelpful Contrarian wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 10:37

The Dragon Age setting is specifically non-homophobic because it was written by a bunch of ****.
"Oh, it all makes sense now, brother."

one of the funniest things ""lesbians"" do is pretend anyone ever cared about them being lesbians

You're right, for some reason I was thinking of the rolled-up note. But despite the note clearly aping the ****'s note from V for Vendetta, it's only an inspiration, it wasn't about a **** who died for her sins.
These things happen.
Oghren's wife left him for her lesbian lover - and it was not even frowned upon, just mentioned casually.logincrash wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 13:16Hell, you can bang an elven maid as a female Cousland and your mother says nothing when she find the naked elven woman in your chambers.
Not even the Bible cares too much about lesbians. Just something inconceivable.
In DA:O your character can also express shock at the existence of homosexuality.

Funnily enough, that same character could bang the son of a minor noble in the prologue. Your mother doesn't say anything about finding him naked in your chambers either.Roguey wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 15:07Not even the Bible cares too much about lesbians. Just something inconceivable.

Again, the Dragon Age setting isn't at all homophobic. Which is also why the *** (in the most disparaging way possible) writer's ****** "my dad wants to pray the gay away" story for Dorian in Inquisition didn't make a lick of sense.

You're a **** wearing the skinsuit of a leaf, you can't even follow an argument properly. Out.

She was neurotic, as lesbians tend to be, and had to go her own way.

Dorian specifically has a very dramatically delivered line of "He tried to change me" when talking about why he finally ran away from Tevinter. Yes, the in-universe problem is the fact that Dorian refused to continue the superwizard eugenics project, but the writer behind the quest deliberately tried to make it into a "homophobic dad wants to try electroshock therapy on his *** son" situation.Roguey wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 16:21His dad just wanted him to breed, he didn't care if he ****** men on the side.logincrash wrote: ↑ September 10th, 2025, 15:39Funnily enough, that same character could bang the son of a minor noble in the prologue.

Well yeah, he outright tried to use blood magic to make him open the possibility of having sex with a woman because Dorian was too stubborn to take one for the team.logincrash wrote: ↑ September 11th, 2025, 06:39Dorian specifically has a very dramatically delivered line of "He tried to change me" when talking about why he finally ran away from Tevinter.

No, I can barely even think of any games with a protag embroiled in a lesbo romance.
