    • 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

      Neither does labeling yourself as LGBT. I think either everyone should be able to label themselves as whatever, or no one should. But of course, straight & cis are boring normal, and everything else is special. Ostracizing ourselves from society isn’t going to get us equality and equal rights. Normalizing LGBT identities as much as straight & cis identities will. Oh right, I don’t want equal rights, I just want to be a pick me so the qanon conservative who wears diapers after overdosing on horse medication will like me.

        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.
