That is a cool concept and that did slap. As always you can feel the male gaze-ry in how the female romances are the most thought out followed by queer male and straight female at the bottom
It definitely feels like the studio knew that their audience would mostly be men - whether their characters were male or female - and the priority given to the in game characters reflects that. Both female love interests are essential characters to the games plot while, iirc, both male love interests are attached to totally missable side quests
i only played through the game once and the panam one was what i did i might go back as female v and try that romance if a big patch is good or something

this is a really good point. haven't played the game yet, but I'm guessing the lesbian romance feels like its written by a straight guy?
