First of all, Maya, her religious father and Chad and Troy are clichés. A cliché imposed by the gay lobby into the industry of entertainment (extremely powerful and influential lobby into that industry) about gays being victims by default of "conservative society". Being a DIK is a game set in 2019 in a College in USA, not set in 1950 or set in modern Iran. Gays are not harassed in western countries more than other demographic groups. In my country, we have a gay minister (the one of Justice), and nobody cares.
Being gay is not a mitigating factor or an excuse for being an aggressive asshole for a character in any game, and it´s not in Being a DIK. This character of this game, Chad, with his lies and his selfishness, has made miserable the life of her former partner Sage, the life of his actual partner, Troy, and has committed a crime assaulting another fellow student in the middle of the night. He could (and should) be in jail for that. But apparently, Dr. Pink Cake, the author of this game, wants that the player feels sympathy and empathy for this character, according the way Tremolo, the main character, talks about him with Sage, Chad´s main victim and Tremolo´s lover/friend. Id doesn´t make sense. I suppose Dr. Pink Cake, the author of this game, is into that mainstream mindset (again, introduced into pop culture by mass media, Hollywood and big TV production companies because of the influence of the powerful gay lobby) of "a gay character is a victim by default, so everybody should show empathy for him, even if he´s a criminal and an asshole". It´s stupid and absurd. It´s a HUGE flaw of this game the conventional and politically corrected way of depicting homosexuality with, again, characters like Maya and her cliché religious father, or Tremolo showing more worries about his aggressor Chad than about his lover/friend Sage.
My previous post about this subject was deleted because "off-topic" again (2 times), even when was evident that I was talking about this game and its characters. It´s OK. I will reformulate this idea 1000 times if it´s necessary. I don´t mind.
