Barbie and Baldur's Gate 3 have undeniably progressive elements and are unstoppable money-making machines.

Is Baldurs Gate 3 considered Woke? Why?

Is it the bear fucking? It's the bear fucking, isn't it?

Maybe the fact that several characters are canonically not straight including

minor spoilerThe daughter of a benevolent god

I am quite aware of that. My current Char is in a homosexual relationship.

My comment was supposed to be a humorous jab at the fact that BG3s romances go way further than same-sex relations.

It's not just your companions, which could have been seen as just being "player-sexual", but also NPC characters in relationship with other NPC characters, which are more direct statements.

Ah ok, cool. Difficult to discern facetiousness online sometimes 😁

The question was intended to be slightly humorous.

Someone got a stick up their ass about all the companion characters exposing their desire for the protagonist. Yeah, I saw it. I don't think there's anything wrong the freedom of choice. Although I do agree the implementation of the romance options is a bit heavy handed.

Well that and you can roll an elf girl with a massive donger if you want.

I'm pretty sure I've met someone like that in real life
