Neverwinter gang time!!

Yes, not to mention the “nymphomaniac bisexual” stereotype, and the fact that her sex-obsession was pretty clearly a product of trauma but was passed off as willful. Dahlia is just a really problematic character all around, and on top of it all, her bisexuality seemed pretty strongly in service of the het male gaze to me. There were several other, very brief female/female sexual encounters in the series, but never any male/male ones, which seems very much in the “fanservice” camp. 

And yes Faffy was gay, but his sexuality was never actually addressed except in a throwaway comment about a (dead) male lover. He was never allowed to have a love interest in the context of the story, and his social status as a gay man in Faerun is never addressed in any way (nor is Dahlia’s status as a bisexual woman, realistically). Is this acceptable where he’s from? Do all of his companions understand this about him, how do they feel about it? Even if all the response is positive, someone is going to have something to say about the fact that he likes men, but nobody does. Even Faffy himself never brings it up.
