To be fair..the characters in the video game on which this was based were gay. Except the second guy was already dead.
If you followed the source…there should have been no surprise.
That really sucks (no pun intended) for the normal people who tune in for entertainment not expecting vomit-inducing perversion.
I didn’t know or care about the source. I was just interested in a sci-fi/adventure series, and I got a full on romance novel with mooching scenes. Which, gay or not, I don’t care for.
How would anyone know? Did the NPC announce it to everyone? Or did he demonstrate it by doing gay stuff?
What does it have to do with the story arc?
