True Feminism means acknowledging that women can be just as fallible as men.

That's everything that needs to be said about this.

Perhaps the reason for this is as simple as it being a deliberate choice by the developers for replayability reasons. It's probably pretty common to choose a different gender for the second playthrough - and by limiting characters to being interested in one gender only, this results in the maximum amount of novelty the second time a player experiences the game.

Or maybe I'm overthinking this and it's just an oversight.

Wow, that's late. Was this still enforced in 2023?

People are not being arrested for being gay in the US anymore. Violence against gays is overwhelmingly committed by private individuals. This might change under Trump, let's hope he fails, but he's not in office yet.

Again, you're totally off the mark here. The situation is so different between the two countries that bringing up America makes no sense.

But what about America.

This has to be one of the more ridiculous examples of whataboutism. And yes, they do kill gays in Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-gay_purges_in_Chechnya

Nordics are all high up on this list and every other comparison of this kind. They are highly progressive countries with strong democratic institutions.

While Israel isn't that high up (still slightly ahead of India though), I mentioned it, because Tel Aviv in particular is widely considered one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world (and certainly centuries ahead of the rest of the region). A gay friend of mine even called it the "gay capital of the world" once - and while that's hardly authoritative, if you search for this term, it'll usually come up. This sparked a bit of a debate among us whether Berlin and Amsterdam were gayer, but we didn't come to a definitive conclusion.

More progressive than Nordic countries or Israel?

My mom (who rarely ever makes any political statements) said this the last time he was elected. I hope she's wrong a second time.

Culture war is all they have. I wonder which marginalized group they'll go after next, once they have killed enough of this one to satisfy their blood lust.

The cruelty is the point - UK edition.
