When they beat you over the head with it. Arcade Gannon and Veronica are both good gay characters because they donโ€™t make it their entire personalities. No one cares that youโ€™re gay they care that youโ€™re an obnoxious cunt about it. Shut the fuck up for 5 minutes and people will accept you.

AND THEN lore comes out and they are gay all of a sudden

Them being gay at all.
There's no need to make a character gay to begin with as no one is interested in seeing two men kissing or having sex (besides fags but they're irrelevant).
Lesbians are fine though. Their romance can be cute and the sex is hot.

video games with the cancer known as (((bisexual))) representation 20250626
>>714135390 (OP)
No idea, but in general terms the only LGBT characters that are inherently forced are (((bisexual))) degenerates.
Avoid any video game series with at least one installment featuring the cancer known as (((bisexual))) representation.

Attention whoring. Telling people you like dicks every 5 minutes is a horrible personality trait.

>what makes a gay character "forced"?
Promotion of homosexuality in entertainment is always forced because entertainment isn't supposed to be propaganda, in theory. In practice, that's a wholly different story because entertainment has been propaganda since hollywood was created. Even the nazis remarked on the unbelievable value of film as propaganda.
I know you're gonna say that it's representation but representation without consent of the audience is just propaganda, very subversive propaganda.

If you think fucking children is pedophilia because children cannot consent, then shoving alternative sexualities into the minds of children/young adults is also highly problematic because they cannot consent to having their minds altered via edutainment. It's no different than having children watch tv shows indoctrinating them with racial hatred of foreigners, it's still indoctrination even if you're doing it for allegedly "good" reasons.

Gay characters are also forced because they're by definition puppets for your own interests and ideology, because gay pixels don't exist by themselves. If you mention that heterosexual characters are also propaganda, i'm going to have to ask you why you wouldn't want to enforce family creation narratives, because while homosexual characters promote sodomy or whatever lesbians do, heterosexual characters promote normal sexual dynamics between men and women which lead to creation of families down the line, provided they're not maimed characters with feminist/emasculated tints.

S76 was retconned as a homosexual in the wake of the Diablo Immortal fiasco and that Ellie esports thing specifically because Blizzard needed some good PR desperately.

No they aren't. They're both petulant whiney abrasive fags. Veronica is particularly retarded for fixating on the uncertain future of the brotherhood while insisting on being a dyke. Hell, are there ANY good Felicia Day characters in any piece of media?

I think a rug pull where a character has implications left by the dev implying heโ€™s straight or otherwise ship baiting, like with 76/Anna/Pharah
And then pulling that out to make a character diverse.

Entertainment has always influenced the society even unintentionally. Simply put, people see certain behaviors in media and emulate them.

Quite the opposite actually.
A good gay character is a character so ludicrously gay it becomes funny. That doesn't mean it has to be their only trait, like Leeron from TTGL is a genius engineer on top of being a flaming homo. But there's no reason to make a character gay unless they act like a stereotype. Same with black characters.

gay, but presenting as normal, while making constant references to being gay, and doing only corpo-safe or zero gay stereotypes.

either make your gay character just a normal person and have it come up in story once, or in a bio somewhere; or make them a tasteful parody. either one works, because either one is entertaining. just constantly reminding people that this otherwise normal character is gay with it making zero overall difference to who they are is cringe and forced.

Several ways of going about it, but one is
>Character exists for years and is normal all the time
>Suddenly revealed to be gay
