I'm starting to regret paying attention. The conversation continues, and the charlie-day-looking one offhandedly mentions being gay (he's not fabulous, just well-groomed).

Immediately, her entire affect changes; she turns towards him, full loving eye contact, chin resting on her palm.

I see the hurt in the eyes of the straight dudes as they realize they no longer exist to her. This is what their social scene is like. This is the woman they encounter IRL who shares a hobby with them. Intermission ends and the rejects shuffle off back to their inclusive diverse 5e game.
