you can choose your gender, and it includes nonbinary! you maybe can even change it later on! - but you can only choose one. sorry multigender folks, or anyone who would rather select none/agender! of course, no custom inputs either!

you can choose your pronouns, and they/them is even one of the options! you maybe can even change it later on! - but you can only choose one. and its often tied to your gender choice. and no option to input custom pronouns or not have any at all, sorry!

dont worry about gender, just choose your body type! - but you probably cant mix different sex characteristics or presentations, or its VERY limited. sorry intersex, trans, and gender-nonconforming folks, and anyone else with a body/presentation outside the binary standard! also probably fuck you if you want realstic/varying fat distribution options, or sometimes even just the ability to be fat At All. and also the body type thats clearly considered to have ""FeMaLe PrEsEnTiNg NiPpLeS"" is still not allowed to be topless.

you can choose what gender(s) youre attracted to, and sometimes even put none! you maybe can even change it later on! - but you can only be 100% allo or 100% aroace. sorry aroallos, alloaces, and other split-attraction people!

you can date or marry characters between any genders! - but you can only partner with one. or if you do have the option to date multiple, the game will treat you like youre cheating and cause negative effects for your relationships! but youll still only be able to marry one person! sorry polyamorous people!

you can choose a character to live with/be partnered to! - but you probably have to marry them and have obviously romantic and/or sexual interactions. sorry aspec, romance/sex-repulsed, and queerplatonic folks!

like. Again, its always great to see more options for queerness! its not like id rather these things to not be there at all. but it does suck to experience the particular mixture of joy and disappointment to see more ability to be queer in games, but never or rarely YOUR specific type(s) of queerness. or to have options thatre "almost there," where youre happy to pick a particular option, but still have a side of resignation on having to just pick whats "close enough" or limit yourself to only one aspect of your identity.

its just kind of another reminder that, even in many queer spaces, many of us are often still other. or not accepted at all. or superficially supported but rarely ever considered. or seen as "too much," "too confusing," or maybe even as "too weird/ridiculous" - to the point youre accused of "making the rest of us look bad/stupid/weird" or "being the reason for more hatecrimes against queers" by just being you- and so youre treated like, for the sake of the "real" and "good" queers, you shouldnt make yourself/your identity known. or you shouldnt be you. or you shouldnt exist, period.

"Okay," says the human, dangling upside down, suspended by a group of tentacles. "I got it."

"Right," says the voice, which comes from everywhere and nowhere. "Now consider a cat. The cat thinks you're kind of like a cat, but you're so big, he has some problems understanding that all of your body is really you."

"Am I the-"

"Yes. Now listen. Especially under the blanket, the cat doesn't really know where your body begins and ends. He sees your feet, and decides to attack them. He's only play-fighting, but his claws are real sharp, so it hurts. What would you do?"

"Well," says the human, gently spinning in the tentacle's grasp, "I'd try to tuck my feet under the blanket."

"Ah, but then it's even worse," claims the voice, triumphantly, "because now your cat sees Blanket Monsters and attacks them twice as hard."

"So you have to grab the cat."

"It's either that or burrito her," says the voice, squeezing the human in the grip of its tentacles. "And since in this metaphor the blanket represents the fabric of reality as you know it, I don't think you'd find it very pleasant."

"Fair enough," says the human, blood beginning to pool in her head. "Can you please put me down, now? I promise I won't attack you again."
