    I’m glad I was born a normal straight instead of a really fucking fragile straight.

      I theorize that the fragile straights aren’t actually straight. Which I assume is what the developer is poking fun at with the quotation marks.

      Our social default is still to assume that most people are straight. It doesn’t make sense for a straight person to have a driving need to prove that they are straight … unless they think someone would have a good reason to put them into a “non-straight” category.

      Devil’s advocate. If someone wants to call themselves straight, and that offends you. Aren’t you fragile as well?

        • Being offended by somebody “calling themselves straight” is stupid and fragile.

        • Being “proud of being straight because somebody else is proud of being queer” is stupid and fragile.

        • Being “content with being straight and wanting to label yourself as such in an environment where that makes sense” is reasonable.

        I dont play the game so I dont know the context but I assume labeling yourself straight does not make sense in a fishing game and as such it is most likely about the second point

            Because people like to express themselves. Were social creatures. You’d might as well ask why hats or different coloured fishing rods are part of this fishing game.
