This discourse was going around twitter today apparently and im curious takes from here.

Which is it for you?

For me i prefer playersexuality. I want to be able to romance any romance option regardless of my charachters gender. I dont want to be stuck with only Arcade Gannon if i want to do m/m

I agree that sexuality can be important to a charachter. But if you wanna do that, seems like the charachter can just not be a romance option.

That said. In RPGs devs can do what they want. You want a charachter to be monosexual and a romance option, have at it. (Unless theyre all straight, then fuck you).

I do kinda hate what The Sims did by adding monosexuality. Felt like such a virtue signal that made the game less fun. All Sims being pansexual was always more fun for me. Especially since i usually play that game as a pansexual slut. Unless i decide my player Sim is mono, but thats on the player’s end.

Monosexual townies in the Sims should at least be optional (is it? Idk havent played Sims 4 since this update).

    Depends on the game. If there’s only a handful of romance options playersexual design allows your character a range of options, but if there’s a wide range of characters to romance having set sexualities allows them to have more detailed personalities and preferences.
    I general though, I prefer neither - I don’t mind the romance in most of the games I’ve played, but don’t usually find it particularly adds anything important.
