  • 3 Houses is also interesting in that, like, you can make a solid case that Ingrid is gay but is restricted by her society’s expectations for what it means to be a crested noble, especially a woman crested noble. The subtext with Felix and Sylvain is also pretty strong and along the same lines, as with why Gilbert left his family. Then there’s Hubert and his devotion to a queer woman who wants to tear down the system causing people to repress like this.

    There’s a lot of writing just under the surface that has interesting things to say about queerness and what it means to dismantle the systems that suppress it that I wish had been much more explicit.

    I do get why people like playersexuality though because it does often feel like it’s that or basically no options. Like in Fire Emblem 3 Houses, I can either have like 20 straight options or 3 lesbian options, one of which isn’t available in 2 of 3 (or 3 of 4, depending how you count) routes. My actual preference is characters having actual sexualities with comparable options for all, but failing that I’ll take playersexuality
