If that difference is that huge for you then you should CALM DOWN with the sexual undertones.

Romance and general identity is more than just smutty kinkyness.

You're the one who said that homosexual relationships are very similar to heterosexual ones.
Unless you mean the difference between being able to identify with homo or hetero romance is whether or not it arouses you, which is inherently sexual in nature.

And I don't really feel like I naturally identify with a character better just because they fit my demographic, that's pretty shallow. Has a lot more to do with personality or struggles they go through.

Which in a lot of games there aren't realistic representations of struggles lgbt go through, they're put in and it doesn't change the story or the way the character works at all. Like in Mass Effect Lopez or whoever the pilot was could have literally just replaced all the pronouns for his hubby with a female and it'd change the story zilch IIRC. Of course in ME homosexual relationships are supposed to be normal, but nothing about this inclusion is anything worth making a list about or really even mentioning.

We've been through this. I just said that it's not about getting turned on by it or anything. Yes, changing pronouns can make it easier for me to identify with it. But that doesn't mean I can't identify with anything else, it's just nice to have it sometimes, thus it's also nice to easily find such games.

Why are you so pissy about it? Does the existence of this curator hurt you in some way? Are you annoyed that more people than straight men play video games and is changing the industry? There must be some reason you care so much in a negative way.

This is just a matter of personal interest. If you don't feel like you need this - splendid. That doesn't mean you have to yell at everyone who do.
