You need to be more aware of how these conversations have gone and recognize straight men are in the same box gay men used to be in; people broadly tolerate them but despise whenever they try to loudly express their preferences. The old, “oh my god shut up about loving cock just stay quiet about it.” Like, remember the “bury your gays” trope? That’s straight men now. People don’t want to see you kiss a girl, they want you to pine for a dead girl or have your woman implied somewhere off-screen. Genuine displays of affection, where a straight man works to make their relationship bloom or otherwise “male gaze” attractive women around them, are utterly despised by Western developers.
Here’s a good way to express that; name the last game where (you), a male character, actually kissed a woman on-screen in a romantic manner. I’m not talking about a Character Creator, but a character that was designed as a man.
