reviews are out, and it seems the game is even gayer 
than initially thought. /v/ discusses.
Minor spoilers, but if you want a list of things that indicate to me that KCD2 is not an "anti-woke" game: * Multiple gay romances, including with a major story character * There are multiple major characters who are Roma * Major ally who is sub-Saharan African * Major ally who is Jewish

The reviews for the new medieval gay romance game are up, some sites like Guardian and IGN are giving it praises, with scores like 10/10 and 9/10 respectively. This is already suspicious to /v/ users, who comment on it on the review thread:
https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/702003948
However, one review in particular brings attention, written by IGN, where the author further confirms on Bluesky that the game indeed got the big gay:
Not only is the "gay romance" in, there are multiple gay romances, multiple gay characters, multiple ethnicities, a whole jew pogrom questline and the major romance is with Hans, a deuteragonist from the first game, who was 15 in it 
The character is a confirmed strag and game gives us choice to respond to his advances.
Bonus: Resetera user says that apparently Vavra is totes a big lefty and woke and non-chud and is pro abortion and gay rights! We were all fooled!

Chuds can't make video games it's that simple. Even if you find a game that seems to mainly appeal to a chud target audience, there is a 82% chance it's made by a communist and 18% it's made by a normal liberal leaning person, who is a history nerd.

I think the correct way to handle gay characters in something like this is to make it a secret you can discover through gameplay or conversation choices. There shouldn't be any out and proud gays, but there could be gay role playing options.

Well, yes. There's reasonable people, and then there's places like ResetEra. It's a great resource if you want to explain to someone how mindless their support of punching Nazis is, because it's reliant on who gets to define what a Nazi is. And if you go to ResetEra, you can guarantee that they would get themselves banned for being a trolling Nazi account in junior phase.
If the wingcucked zealots of ResetEra got the power to decide who the Nazis were, and they clearly desperately wish they did, the only people left unpunched would be the ones they don't get around to before their circular firing squad kicks in.

It was the big argument around the first one, the leftists saying 'but there would be trade with black people!' and him (and others) pointing out they this was rural Bohemia, not a big city where slightly more diversity would be seen.
From the sounds of it, there isn't the leftist requirement that the background NPCs be a diversity omnibus, just that there's a specific handful of characters with a background to be there. That seems fine to me if true. Same with the jews, gypsies and gays, if they're treated the way they would be, or at least can be treated within the same range of positivity and negativity that all other groups are. Gay especially is historically accurate as long as they still have to get married and hide it; even a few of the most powerful men in the world had male lovers/fuckbuddies, but it was only accepted if there was at least a pretence, preferably a wife and kids, as well as the guy not getting too uppity for being their pet twink.
