I don't think it would cause much outrage if he added an option to favor a sexuality as long as you could pick whichever you want
I think the distinguishing factor is because rimworld has immense raport, it also is more targetted for controversy.
Sure, you can kill off / enslave homos, or dump them as shock troops in an expendible fight, but these are incidental, they aren't the game actually making / even codifying any judgement towards gays, its ALLOWING a player to use those mechanics against gays.
I've actually looked this up many times, and it seems like the community fiercely avoids the topic, I've even seen threads suggest it, but they do it in the most hacky ways, seeming to AVOID the possibility of allowing hating fags, like so
Reddit faggotry
Everyone suggest "use trait enforcer to make all colonists gay" or stuff like that.
Funny part is, I feel like adding homophobia would be pretty damn simple, but just nobody has. We already have equivalent with ideoligions hating chem abuse, you could probably do the same sort of deal, hating people who have the gay trait, and throwing a fit if people engage in homosexuality and having an execution of colonists if they are homos for a bonus mood for everyone.
FORTUNATELY, theres at least this mod, which removes fags entirely but... I'd much prefer the odd fag which I could execute for a mood bonus.
No faggotry mod
Honestly if you made a mod which just could GENERALLY add traits as a precept concept to ideoligions, you could probably add that mod with little backlash, since sure, you could have faith based homophobia, but could excuse it under "wow, huh, apparently gay is a trait? guess people can use it that way, oh well".
While I have faith in tynan, its a shame his community is so against this. This thread is a really good example, everyone got extremely butt-hurt when a mod was requested.
steam faggots having a fit because someone suggests homophobia mod
Actually, seems I HAVE finally found a mod for it!!! bout fucking time, hopefully steam doesn't nuke it.
Homophobia / (optionally) heterophobia mod
its kinda wild theres so much pushback against people not liking homo shit in single player games, like the spiderman 2 getting its flag mod nuked. These same people always say its "not a big deal" having gay shit in games, but act like a rabid weasel got stuck up their ass if you talk about modding it out.
I hate this hypocrisy so damn much.
