I generally do not like gay characters in media, despite being gay myself. I like games and stuff for escapism, and having to be reminded of gay people doesn't really help with that. I understand this is incredibly brainrotted of me, but just knowing a character is gay tends to invoke the worst of my experiences with gay men, in my mind, and I'd rather do without that. Plus, any character that's gay will make the lgbt movement drop to the floor in ecstasy, overshadowing any other part of, say, a video game. Gameplay, story, other characters, art design... Doesn't matter, because some guys in it like dick. Does anything else matter? In recent years, I can think of bg3, ff16 (which sucked anyway, but still,) the last of us dlc, and of course any game in the last few years that's marketed solely as "this game has gay/troon/nigger characters in it," especially since very few stories have the balls to make an openly lgbt character a villain or do anything bad, really
