Aside from videogames, choose your own adventure (cyoa like on r/makeyourchoice) prompts are also pretty rife with shitty things. Aside from the excessive sexualization of women, there are also several instances where authors enforce a gender binary and heteronormative romance.

In a subculture based on customization and choice.

    Oh man, wrestlers are the fucking worst. Like, they know how gay the sport is, and instead of embracing it like bodybuilders do, they pick up like 6 layers of homophobia and a tough guy attitude as a defense.

    Like, I made a comment that tucking your hoody into basketball shorts looks dumb as hell and got told basically that fashion was for f*gs.

    Like dude, we're skipping clubbing on a Friday night to roll around in singlets with sweaty dudes, caring about fashion is the straightest thing I've done all night.

    Also, if I, a queer can wrestle some jacked lean dudes and not get aroused, then you as a straight dude can take a chill pill and admit its kida gay and that's okay.

      So much insecurity. Jesus. I know a ton of straight dudes who wrestled in school and was disappointed to find so many of them to be homophobic.

      Time to bring back Ancient Greek nude wrestling so the guys wrestling in tights can look straight by comparison
