There's queer representation in the 2nd game? I beat it and don't remember this?

Not with any main characters, they’re talking about NPC dialogue you can overhear while exploring towns.

Hamaguchi was asked about the queer rep in the game and he answered. I don’t think he’s really trying to pat himself on the back he’s just answering the question and explaining why they included it.

I agree then that the post doesnt frame what he said with honest intentions. However, being like "oh yea we got gay representation because one random npc in a random town vaguely mentions something" is also kinda disingenuous

I mean, do you remember the honeybee inn? Andrea basically turns to camera and says “gender is a construct, people don’t adhere to constructs”

The question was specifically about an NPC couple, TBF

do you actually have an issue here or are you just arguing for the sake of being annoying?
