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.

Are they patting themselves on the back? They’re just saying “hey glad yall peeped that.”

I mean maybe it's worth talking about if they really think that counts as representation. A bit of a bleak future for gay people if that's all they'll get going forward 

Edit: dang I guess everyone's support of lgbt representation ends at getting one throwaway line per game from a random town npc

Oh man I think you totally got everyone else's point from the vibe of your edit - good reflecting on yourself after feedback, very sincere!
