According to the Woke Content Detector it is "Not Recommended" their reason being:

Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the player character. Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.

I find the last part really funny and also fitting for the meme.

Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the player character.

This sentence guarantees that they haven't actually played the game.

There's Homosexual Underground ??? Seems pretty queer to me.

The one which unlocks HDB into having realised he's probably bisexual.

The one which unlocks HDB into having realised he’s probably bisexual.

Did you not read the Solution text in the link you sent me? It let's you find out about Kim, but it says nothing about HDB's own sexuality. In fact, it implies that he's not, and we already know he's straight because of a certain other development.

Did you know bisexual people are able to date, or even marry, straight people?

Shocking I know, I thought they were only allowed to date gay people, hence the term meaning ~~"romantically and/or sexually attracted to two or more genders"~~ "gay but a different flavour"

/Sarcasm cause your "point" is stupid

Yes, I know, but the game would have made that a bigger deal, if that was actually part of his identity. Instead, it explicitly tells you to "stop obsessing about it".

I took that as just "it's up to the player" rather than "it didn't matter in the slightest"

Also the woke detector freaks see any game that's not just either only cishets or goes "Kill the Gays!" as woke.
