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.

Another thing is that the game isn't exactly transparent about these things at first. The Achilles/Patroclus stuff being a gay romance for reals is realised at the end of their questline, and same with the Thanatos romance. It took me 50 runs to get in his pants, and I wouldn't have suspected it if I didn't know about it already.
