Topic: Best LGBTQ+ Switch Games -- Your Suggestions!

I haven't played it myself but the review on this site said the new Tony Hawk remake has a non-binary playable character.

FE games.

@Dogorilla
Isn't that because the game features real life people, and said non-binary person exists?
I don't know much else beside that.

@Dogorilla @RupeeClock Yep, Leo Baker is an enby pro skater. Elissa Steamer has been in them since the early 00s and is bisexual.

@TheFrenchiestFry wait what was the scene in P5? I know the Persona games have a poor track record with this subject but my old man brain can't remember what happened in P5.

@Losermagnet It goes on for way too long. Just plain gross.

@Losermagnet The scene where Ryuji and Joker get assaulted by those two obviously gay men in Shinjuku

@nessisonett oh and that one too lol

"Beefy" and "Brawny" don't seem to match these in-game models very well.

@TheFrenchiestFry Not really painting a good picture for gay people TBH, but I wouldn't doubt there are people like that out there.

@nessisonett @TheFrenchiestFry oh boy i remember now. That feels like something you'd see on 'Friends'. I have a hard time believing anybody actually finds that funny, Japan or otherwise.

Folks, this thread is asking for suggestions, it is NOT a place to air your grievances about the comments on the article. Please respect that.

@Eel hey maybe 'Beefy Trendsetter' and 'Brawny Voice' are their names.

@Losermagnet I can accept that.

And yes, let's not continue the article comment section here, plz.

@Losermagnet To be fair, Beefy Trendsetter would make a killer drag name.

@nessisonett @RupeeClock Ah gotcha, I wasn't sure if they were all real people. I'd still say that could qualify for the list, I can't think of many AAA games that let you play as an explicitly NB person.

So I've got a question, and I'm asking this with the utmost respect and sensitivity - is there a game you'd recommend to somebody who wants to understand LGBTQ culture better? I live in a part of the US where it's all farms and Jesus, so I have virtually no experience with the subject, but i have a big desire to learn more. Books and movies are okay too 😁

@Losermagnet Hello! That's a good question, Losermagnet it's difficult to recommend just one game/book/movie that will give you the whole spectrum of LGBTQ+ representation, but games like Ikenfell and Night in the Woods have low-key representation that doesn't define the story.

However, if you want to learn more about what it's like to be under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, Dream Daddy is an interesting one (it's about gay middle-aged dads dating!) Life is Strange and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm let you play as a (potentially) queer teenage girl exploring relationships for the first time, and Tell Me Why is about a trans man (although I haven't played it, people have said great things!)

Never stop being excited to learn and grow, and you'll go far

_{This thread is not for that. Thanks! -Eel}

My wife and I play Dream Daddy, and it’s pretty fun and certainly interesting in its originality. We legitimately wish we could go to a weekend farmer’s market in a gay dad suburb in real life. I’m a glowing recommendation away from grabbing Paradise Killer in a sale, so I’ll be watching to see if anyone has something to say about that one.
