The game has just been nominated for two Gayming Magazine Awards due to its (optional) gay romance.

“TRIGGER WARNING,” the post begins. “Among all the various awards and nominations we’ve received, we’ve also just been nominated for the @gaymingmag GAYMING AWARDS! I’m really proud of that, because I absolutely stand by the fact that the way we did it is exactly how something like this should be done. Non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (because we show how things really were in the Middle Ages without idealizing them)–and without shoving it down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rightfully called ‘woke’ these days. We made the gay community happy and gave them the CHOICE to be themselves, just like we did for others in other choices and quests, and anyone who isn’t interested probably didn’t even notice. Except, of course, for [a] very small and very loud minority.”

    I can confirm. I played the gay romance in KCD2 and the penises never touched for the entirety of the playthrough. Thanks to this, I was finally able to play a gay character that felt authentic to real life and, more importantly, I didn’t turn gay myself.

    To make sure of that, I replayed the game three more times, always choosing the gay option. Lo and behold, I’m still very, very straight. In fact, it worked like a vaccine: now I can watch gay porn without it having an effect on my sexuality (I’m super duper straight! I only watched gay porn to MAKE SURE that I was still straight).

    Bravo Daniel.

      Nono, it’s only gay if the balls touch. So sayeth the internet.

          Correct, it’s important to remember that.

          balls in the chute / means yer a fruit

          balls merely clap together / very straight chaps forever

          That’s what me and the boys used to sing all day and night to remind ourselves.

      I can confirm, too. I’m a straight man, and for some odd reason I always play as a woman and bang another woman. But not once have I become a lesbian.
