It was three people! The first one thinks there could be a stigma playing her[because she is a FEMALE gay character, not a male one(OMG!!!)]. The second one thinks we should take everything with a grain of salt(because apparently there can't be female gay characters in fiction, only male ones). And the third one thinks there is no lust involved(probably because F/F sex is not "hot").

Three people showing(or pointing out, in the first case) the hypocrisy and double-standard of this community. A community where het-sex is allowed, yaoi-buttsex is encouraged, but F/F is frowned upon or completely ignored.

honestly i when i first read the post i thought op anon's concern about being stigmatized was related to the fact that after strangelove self-identified as a lesbian for the entire game she ended up hooking up with a man at the end and (presumably) having his kid.

i mean i'm honestly not sure if the fandom tends to devolve into angry arguments about the topic and character or if they kind of shrugged and assumed she was bi but strongly preferred women, so i can understand wanting to tread carefully there...
