We're at the point where a lot of people unironically believe fucking a pretty elf twink's asshole wouldn't be considered gay if he's effeminate enough, which means for a man to be bisexual he has to be getting penetrated himself which is deemed unheroic and unfitting of a protagonist.

Anonymous No.95805824 [Report] >>95808684
I think I've only had a gay male fighter NPC once. It was something of a social scandal (because he was a catamite), despite being a war hero. People were circumspect about insulting him to his face, though, because he was a notorious duelist and the best you could hope for crossing swords with him is that he'd cripple you. Being from old money and on the Tzarina's good boy list made him politically untouchable, so there was no coward's route to antagonizing him, either.

Ironically enough his peasant fans (of which there were many, because he was a war hero, and because he had a habit of killing other boyars in duels, which always amuses peasants) assumed the catamite thing was a lie by jealous rivals.

What are the components of a personality or character concept? Be specific. What specific things comprise a personality or character concept? And if you want to go for extra credit, stick to things which can be portrayed as objective features for the sake of gameplay mechanics or at least character sheet entries.

Did you waste the potential by not having him outed to the peasantry? The plot development of suddenly losing the affection of the rabble, revealing them to be fickle and hateful, would have been good drama because it would directly confront his status as a war hero.

It would directly provoke him to question the meaning of his heroism in the war - on behalf of a peasantry that despises him for being gay. All his suffering and sacrifice and heroism would be for naught in their eyes just because he's gay.

How would he respond to that? Just accept it with stoic patriotism? Become bitter over how deeply unfair and ugly the reality of his nation truly is? Avoid dealing with it and just withdraw from the public eye to retire in lonely obscurity? Find some small social circle in which his honor is respected and shield himself from the filth of the vulgar brutes?

In my experience, warriors are way more desperate than bards, but tend to pull more interest unless the bard is really good, because they have a reliable income and travel a lot, so the local dependapotamus can seduce him once and ride those coattails forever.
>>95808684
I don't think most of the peasantry would give a shit in practicality, although they would probably make jokes about it in private. Frankly, people with power are way more intolerant than the average "peasant". That mostly comes down to having too much else to worry about in practice.

BG3's devs on twitter whined that the most common choice everyone made at release was a male human fighter, amalgamated from the most popular builds and character creation choices.

Male Human Fighter is THE default option, but especially in 2024 it's boring as shit. It gets nothing interesting to do. LOOK AT ME I CAN HIT THINGS ONCE MAYBE TWICE! WOOOO! It's so fucking boring. If you want a cool martial, play Monk. 2024 glazed the hell out of them, if you go Fighter 1/Monk X you can take the Nick Mastery on daggers then dual wield them to shit out damage like nobody else. Take the Tough Feat as part of your background (or with the Human feat) to remove HP concerns entirely, take Dual Wielder at 4th level, and watch as you become the main damage dealer in your party, shitting out 3d8 + 2d8 Force + 15 damage when you flurry, 3d8 Piercing + 1d8 Force + 12 damage when you don't.

Bullshit. Working class bigots are way more vicious and violent about their bigotries than the aristocracy have ever been. To be sure, aristocrat bigots enjoy indulging their hatreds, but they don't often take a personal interest in anyone but themselves. It's great to have absolute power over who you socially interact with, and to be able to afford to distract yourself with any entertainment available.

Working class? They have literally nothing else to do with their free time but bicker about what they like or don't like. And they love to express any degree of power they believe they have, no matter how petty or small. And they are nasty about it because their entire lives are nasty.

Aristocrats might disown an embarrassing son.

Working class will tie him to the back of a truck and drag him until there's nothing left but tattered bloody rags and a foot bone.

This is not speculation. There's an entire genre of historical analysis dedicated to understanding the criminalization and treatment of minority groups throughout history. It's an empirical question and it has a definite answer.

Really? Because I was always under the impression that the people who owned the most slaves tended to be extraordinarily rich.
I mean, it's not like the very richest people in the world could investigate themselves and find nothing wrong.
But I guess if you're not physically dragging slaves onto the ships on and pack them like sardines onto, you're not really bigoted after all. You're really so far detached from your industrial evil that you can make money literally purchasing people in bulk and working them until they die without actually having any visceral hatred towards them. Is it really even bigotry at that point?
Hell, while you're at it, you could also stoke the flames to turn your labor pool inwards against itself instead of towards you. I wonder what that would look like. Couldn't imagine.
But yeah. So long as your hands are clean personally, I guess it's not really bigotry so much as it is psychopathy.

Can poor people buy slaves? How much does a slave cost? Is slavery what we were talking about? I thought we were talking about homophobia.

But anyway, back to the slavery for a minute. Why didn't the poor folks help to free the slaves? Because, after all, the slaves were their direct competition for wages... How come it was the rich who launched the revolt against the institutions of slavery? And why did they do so because they wanted to undermine their competitors by destroying the supply of free labor which allowed them the benefit of that margin?

>How come it was the rich who launched the revolt against the institutions of slavery?
Because the law answered to them. Again, opinions are for people with free time. You might as well ask why they only started caring after centuries. After all, they had the chance to implement it during the American Revolution, but they didn't.
Additionally, people paid to get out of Union service (and have done so to get out of other military service for the causes they "champion"). It cost $300 and was called the Conscription Act.
When people in charge of the system claim about systemic problems, I feel very little sympathy.
>Are you just saying whatever pops up in your head in the moment and you're reacting against whoever is speaking in a mindless, childish oppositional defiance behavioral pattern?
Do I think that people who saw 80% of their own countrymen as unworthy of marriage (that's not racism it's "nobility", btw) as more prejudiced than people who are literally just trying to stay alive? Yes, I do.
Social ills almost always flow from the top down rather than the bottom up, because if they were actually a problem for the ruling elite, that elite would have gone out of their way to fix them. Moreover, the elite have regularly and consistently chosen to erect totally legal means by which to punish people for having Wrong Opinions or Wrong Qualities.
They 'care' when it benefits them. That's all.

Given the word Tzarina, I assume that he was playing in a Russia expy and it’s important to remember that Russia was the gayest place in Europe for centuries and this is all well documented in the works of various medieval and early modern travel writers. The Tzars imported homophobia at great expense and difficulty in the 19th century because they were tired of being called faggots by the German and Swedish nobility, and homophobia didn’t really catch on with the underclass until about the time of the Revolution in the early 20th century.

So the yokels wouldn’t give a fuck.

Elves are supernaturally beautiful, rare, and special. Every woman ever fantasizes about being these things just for existing.

The fact that elves basically don't age also helps alot. I've seen women IRL in their early 20s already worried that they're getting "old".

There was no law against homosexuality in Russia until 1835. Tsar Nicholas the 1st criminalized homosexuality in the same series of laws aimed at “modernizing” Russia that banned unkempt beards, the “Old Church” orthodox communities, restructured the military in the Continental style, and forced Jews to participate in military conscription.

And the laws were unpopular, both with the common people and with the Boyars. Prior to the reign of Tsar Nicholas, it was the common remark of European visits to Russia that if you smoked and drank with a Russian while taking leisure around the samovar, that he would suck your dick and get offended if you didn’t reciprocate. Casual male homosexuality was a cultural inheritance the Moskovite Kingdons inherited from their years under the rule of the Golden Hoard, and to this day Russian homophobia is incomplete, extending only to the person who is receiving.

Bisexuality is the spontaneous extrusion of a failure of society to answer masculine duties and obligations coherently. It almost invariably coincides with the decline of that civilization, just as transgenderism is a sure sign that a society is in the throes of social collapse.

See: The Roman Empire. While much is said about Romans and Greeks being fags, the truth was much more complex, essentially in male dominance hierarchies there is always going to be a certain predatory homosexuality, but if it starts becoming normal for men to be bisexual, that society is in the process of self-destructing. The Macedonians under Phillip and Alexander were in fact in the midst of just such a collapse brought on by their rapid modernization, they were able to channel it into an explosion of imperial power, but it fell apart almost immediately afterwards because the youthful warrior class had become unmoored from the traditional familial structures of their people.
