if the male love interest for a male player character is hot, it's not DEI, it's goddess-approved content for fujos
of course, this is just a small token of apology for not making the player character a woman by default, but it will do

@tomie main problem i think is that the mc went from being definitively straight to "oh you can be gay if you want"

if the game had a different protag, or let you make your own, then it wouldn't be an issue.

@beardalaxy that's called being bisexual, not "oh you can be gay"
and if there's anyone gays hate the most, it's bisexuals
so, not DEI again
