you don't

don't have the audience know they're gay

Unless it's a key part of their personal narrative, don't make it a massive aspect of the character. If they want to normalize gay characters, they should treat it like a normal romance.

it's an impossible to win battle, cause homophobes will say it's forced no matter how tucked that info is.
The only way to make a gay character non forced to them is not putting a gay character in the first place.
Tho on serious note, the best way is integrating it into his character without making it the sole characteristic. One example many here will bring up is Arcade Gannon from NV, to get out that he's gay it takes a bunch of skill checks and be pretty far with his affinity. This is on topof him being a compelling character by himself

If you wanna include a character just because he's gay you're already forcing it

I don't know, but it's impossible to include (((bisexual))) characters in video games without it feeling forced.
Luke Green
Naturally intergrate it in the story. Kanji in Persona 4 is most likely bi/gay, but that part of him doesn't feel forced. If you just say x character is gay, it's just forced.

Not sure, it's a trend that mostly happens with western writers

Ask the more important question first
Why would you ever want to include a faggot in your game?

DOS2 did it fine though. Red Prince being a slut who wants to fuck both boys and girls fits perfectly.
Parker Sanchez
Do it out of passion and genuine interest. Don't do it to virtue signal.
Because people who have taste find gay boys cute.
Carter Ortiz
Homophobia is not based.
Nolan Lee
Just do it and don't advertise it.
Landon Brooks
just make it cute
Matthew Perez
i like the challenge in writing an actually good one for once that's not there as weak queerbait for american journos
>inb4 there's no good gay character

If there's romance, make them pursue a homosexual romance. If not, treat it like any other irrelevant character detail. Don't pack yourself on the back for either.
Nathaniel Wright
the thing is that want it or not some journos or randos on twitter will definetely talk about it, regardless if the devs wanted to make a big fuss out of it or not

hope your gay friends see this bro

Copy the way Japan does it.

It's gotta feel natural to the world.
The reason why people shit on soldier 76 is because it came out of nowhere to blatantly try and get attention back to a dying game

Seems like we either get games that normalize LGBT stuff without any context IE X character is gay and didn't need to be and doesn't add anything of value to the story/character, or we get games that are entirely centralized around muh gayness like Gone Home.
Best example I can give of a well done "gay" character isn't even gay; Kaine from Nier. She's intersex/herm, but it's not immediately apparent. If you choose to pay attention to the lore, it explains how her upbringing between genders and being considered a freak by everybody around her factors into her being angry all the time, and loudly expressing femininity by dressing like a whore. Kaine's gender issues doesn't advertise itself on a billboard for the player, but at the same time she wouldn't be the same without that pivotal part of her backstory influencing who she is.
But muh Jap devs are sexist and problematic, I guess.

Need to see gay sex on screen or we can't really know for sure.

Gay people have taste.
Fucking fujoshit schizoid twitter whores are not tasteful, based, or in any way actually accepting of gay men. They fetishize it because they are basically the female incel and love to degrade men into sex toys. You like seeing anime girls with tits the size of atomic bombs, they like to ship every single male character together.
When it comes to real life gay people they act just as shitty as the average americsn protestant unless the gay guy/couple is attractive to them.
Fuck all women, fuck fujos, and fuck anything that panders to them.
