It is sort of weird that it takes 3 romantic suggestions to be able to turn down Gale but at the same time the one scenr you see people griping about (the magic scene) which asks you if you want to imagine kissing him also asks if you want to show him an image of you ripping off his head. It's clear they are uncomfortable with their just being options listed for gay romance.

I played a woman and Gale gave me huge creep vibes. I kept politely turning him down, until he isolates me on some grass field to tell me he loves me?? Fuck off dude. I've clearly shown you I'm not interested.
Next time we interact he says he's "glad to be with me, though this wasn't the way he imagined"???? Can you shut the fuck up please you incel friendzone loser.
The only time he doesnt talk about how sad he is I won't fuck him is when he talks about his ex girlfriend.

I didn't know people were mad about gay sex scenes tho.

Gale is definitely the worst companion, I was given the option to fully turn him down at the Act 1 party though

I turned him down too. Maybe some code got messed up, and he kept pursuing me?

My internal canon was basically me going "Nah dude, I'm going to fuck Karlach. The big buff woman with a nice attitude that doesn't make one nice comment into a whole thing"

If he's this thirsty I'm glad I left him in that portal.

He wanted to "teach me magic" despite me being a sorcerer. I nailed every check and he did some reddit-level mansplaining cope of "well you might think it's easy, but it's just because you don't understand. It's actually very complicated". Fuck all the way off dude, you're only on my team bescause I wasted money letting you learn spells before I realised how much you suck.

"very-smart Sure, you can instinctually cast magic, but do you understand it like I do? Didn't think so. smuglord"

::: spoiler Act 2ish Gale spoilers "Also, I literally fucked magic"

Agreed, Gale kinda gave me the ICK. Idk why he is kinda like tiktoks babygirl.
