    That episode had everyone bawling. I had to stock up on more handkerchiefs halfway through, it's so incredibly emotional. In every LGBT space i come across, everybody's like " i cried so much during this, it was so beautiful".

    And it also seems that every anti-LGBT space is full of people crying. Except they cry "Noooooooo they made based prepper man gaaaaaayy" :wojak-nooo:

      But he was always gay. He was gay in the first game, which was released what, 9 or 10 years ago? I legitimately do not understand this from the chuds, did they play a completely different video game to the one I did?
