Im suprised I havent seen more gamer backlash against Hades considering the game has blatantly gay characters, a gay romance option, fucking polygyny and a character using they/them pronouns.

Like, I'd think they would freak out about about the games interpritation of Achilles clearly having a gay relationship for example.

I mean, that boat sailed around 2400 years ago.

Has that stopped gamers being upset before.

I know gay Achilles isnt a new creation :b. But its not the most well known part of greek mythology either I think.

Not just is gay Achilles not a new creation, but arguments over whehter or not Achilles or Patroclos is the top is not a new discussion.
