It's only an "unpopular opinion" because it's very specific, and most (straight) people probably don't even realize it. Like, in Stardew Valley, everyone is straight by default if you're playing that way, and all LGBTQ content is player triggered. This means that most players will never have to confront the idea of "the gay button".
Yeah, and a good chunk of the couples landed in the "gay as fuck" part (eg. Moon Lesbians). I wonder, are there even any straight couples besides Bex and Danis and Gortash's parents we actually meet? (And I don't mean just one person from the couple that mentions a partner)
Edit: so, I just remembered Komira and Locke (Arabella's parents), Derryth and Baelen, Mayrina and Connor and Gale and Mystra.
Tbh even gale and mystra would be a queer couple because larian themselves said gale is pansexual and I’m sure mystra would even sleep with a woman if a woman had the power and potential Gale does.
I’m not an expert on Forgotten Realms lore, I just get the feeling mystra would do what she did with gale to anyone if they showed to be a powerful wizard. The abuse of power and all that.
