NGL, happened to me exactly like that. It was a bit 'unpleasent' as in the unknown can be pretty scary. Like i'm fairly open and especially dont give a fuck what anybody else does. But the first person depiction of same sex... sex was pretty intimate in that game. Yeah, i like to see myself as _progressive _ and open but i'm still an average cis white male gamer. I'm mature enough to admit that it challengend me. I've never seen something like that. It was my first time. Dont get me wrong i still dont have anything against LGBTQ+. In the end i handled it as dumb as it sounds. But tbh i never saw somebody talk about that? Like i still want to be an ally but experiencing _gay _ stuff kinda first hand still was weird.
I just avoided both because it wasn't worth the "risk" of getting something I don't want
Eh, i got over it pretty fast. But in the end i was really happy about that experience since in gave me introspection about myself. More than i would ever expect from a fucking shooty video game with light rpg elements.
I can't saw I would have freaked out or anything but wouldn't have been ab ad time to go make some tea or take the dog for a walk depending on the length of it
