I'm making a game with super hot and sexy women, but some of the content is also gay, but can be turned off. I'm making this poll just to gain a little insight.

I voted for the "I like gay content" answer. But I have a big IF. If the gay content is just two scenes, consists on twinks or feminine guys, I'll skip the game, even with the gay tag. I would only play if there is a way to play as a gay MC or at least have an attractive gay LI. Anyway, I'm on the minority, so that's why I created my game :ROFLMAO:

I voted check to see but I think I probably should have gone with other. Its mostly I don't want to play it if its ONLY gay content, but if there's other stuff I will still play it and I generally don't avoid the gay content unless it overrides some other girl. I like the whole story with all the characters.

Edit: changed vote to other

I picked other. Gay scenes don't do much for me, so I would avoid a game with predominately gay scenes. But I don't react negatively to them either, so I don't care whether I can avoid seeing them.

Overall, a game having the gay tag (in addition to lots of women) makes me more likely to check the game out. Mostly, because it is a sign that the Dev doesn't cater to the "fragile masculinity, MC should be only male in existence"-crowd too much. That overall makes for more interesting setups. Also, I like diversity in games, so having a small fraction of gay scenes will make the game overall more enjoyable for me.

I mean depends. If 90% of the game is about gay stuff then no im not playing it. But if there plenty of other stuff then sure ill try it. And should say if i can either skip the gay stuff or turn it off that would be nice.

Most of the time, I ignore it. That being said, sometimes a game that looks neat has that tag, so I'll be compelled to check it out regardless. If gay content is not optionnal, I 100% skip.

Skipable or not, for me, it depends on the amount of gay content (same for any tag I don't enjoy). If half the game is about a tag I don't enjoy, I will not play the game, skipable or not.
