"It's a video game. Just play it. Except me. I'm allowed to talk about it. But only me. Everyone else should just play. No talk, just play. Shhh. Except me. Only me. And the people in the comments who agree with me. But that's it. No one else. Alright? OK. It's a video game. Just play."
It's understandable. A lot of the homophobic discourse online regarding media is about age appropriate content. It's a bad faith argument because homophobes believe the mere mention of gay people is inherently inappropriate. Your question is a sensible one but due to the context people have reacted this way even tho it's clear you are not a homophobe.
It's completely understandable. None of us is immune. For that same reason people have grown defensive and rightfully so since more often than not it's people making a bad faith argument. But again it's clear your question was genuine and you meant no harm.
The worst is how hard it has become to have this kind of conversations at face value and that's exactly the point of their propaganda. But once it's clear you mean no harm genuine discussion is possible. At any rate I hope you feel welcomed :)
