<soapbox>If you're going to put queer stories in games, they should first be good stories. If they're not going to be good, don't fucking do them, you're actively harming the cause.</soapbox>

Metaphor: I despise country music, but I'm not gonna change the radio station if it's Charlie Daniels or Johnny Cash. If you execute something well enough, it becomes art independent of genre.

This game is not art.

Meh, a good example of a "queer story" would be, if you took it down this path, Life Is Strange (the original one, with Chloe and Max). The dev's in that game didn't shove it down your throat and let you choose.

I have forgotten how fucking hilarious midling Hawke (in other words, always choosing the middle option) is.

Example :

Anders : Okay, but first, I need something from you.

Hawke : "Okay, but I draw the line at anything with children or animals."

This.

In the history of the universe I can't think of a single instance of something being improved upon by adding faggotry.

i'm not saying faggotry made this movie good but that this movie wouldn't be a movie without faggotry

the problem tho is that the very definition of "queer" as it is used by modern activists, is that you're doing something to fuck with normal conventions and culture. you're specifically going out of your way to annoy people in hopes of your activism changing their minds. an inherently retarded idea.

if you mean that putting homosexual stories in games in a good way to not make people annoyed at the gays, then yes you're absolutely right. they need to be done well (like all writing. surprise!) or people will find it grating and hate it.

but the modern day push for "queer" this and "queer" that is SPECIFICALLY engineered to annoy normal people.

I set my all-time beatoff record in a single day due to mostly that movie.

Never seen Wild Things, didn't know it was that hot. My single day record was due to the movie Dream Lover, which is also a mainstream Hollywood movie. Madchen Amick circa 1996 or whatever it was = a 12 out of 10. She could basically trigger puberty. Honorable mentions to Alicia Silverstone and whoever that was who played Sonya in the first Mortal Kombat movie.
