    People that feel mocked by this probably take their straightness/queerness too seriously. The joke is that the devs have no way to discriminate queer/straight users, something that is factually true for the game devs and aspirationally true for society.

    I suppose I can see what they mean - if the goal is to foster inclusiveness then uplifting all would be a better means to achieve that rather than denigrating and “other”-ing some.

    Otoh, knowing that it’s fake, it’s kinda just funny and I don’t take it with any seriousness at all.

    Yeah cant see this going any other way other than irritating players and leading to people inevitably, but incorrectly, placing the blame on lgbt folk

    EDIT: fake, didn’t realise, mb, seemed like something balatro dev would do for a joke.
