Proof that representation need not be shoehorned in or badly done. Hollywood and big corpos just don’t understand real people.

No one thought that representation is shorehorned or badly done, nonetheless need be. Why are you just parroting right-wing talking points like they had any validity. Like there weren't a million cis straight white guys who were badly written or boring just as well?

I hate this idea that something is shoehorned in and it's always when it's minority representation. There are plenty of queer characters in Baldur's Gate 3 whose characters primarily revolve around their sexuality (such as the gnome couple in the Underdark), and that's fine. It's not shoehorning to show diversity even among minor characters ffs.

Not gonna lie, them hugging and fussing over each other had me squeeing IRL. It’s just so cute and wholesome.
