No offense intended but this seems like a "triggered" post. I mean you can have a "romance" with Juhani as a female PC but not as a male PC in the vanilla game. So Juhani's sexual preference seems pretty obvious there. I understand that there was some confusion at first since the devs had a mistake in the first release that allowed male PC's the romance options. ( I suppose a missing gender check?) But that has been long ago corrected by the devs. So what controversy or confusion is there now? It seems obvious enough to me!
If some player has to argue that Juhani is bi because of that early mixup, that just seems like some sort of desperate denial problem.
But why take it as a personal offense if another player wants to change Juhani's romance options in their game? She is a fictional character, not a real person, and most importantly she is not you & you are not her, you are your own real person with your own real life. What somebody thinks about the character has nothing to do with you. The only people who have any right at all to be offended at modders changing Juhani's sexuality, it is the devs who created the character intending her to be lesbian; since she is their idea, they can take it as a personal insult to their work if they wish to.
For my own opinion: Who cares?
The devs intended Juhani to be lesbian...well fine! It's a nice option for female PC's that the player can choose between the two characters of Carth & Juhani for romance, or they can romance both, or even neither, but they still are fictional video game characters, not real people. Pixels & code have no sexuality. Why do people have to be offended at the pretend sexuality of a video game character? The only thing I dislike about the Juhani romance is that it's unfortunately under-written/under-developed in general. (not that Carth's romance is much better, however)
If someone wants to make a mod to change the romance options for the characters, so what? It's their game they can mod it to romance whichever character they want to. Maybe they want to mod it because they like romancing Juhani & also like playing a male PC & they just want the best of both worlds without having to choose. It's their game, why should anyone feel like their real life "identity" is under attack?
And what about the mods to allow "gay" romance options to "non-gay" characters? Are you equally offended by those? Somehow I expect you aren't against those, or that perhaps you might even applaud them. Like "Gay is good, yay! Straight is bad, boo!" , right? 🙄 (of course I don't think that's really your sentiment, I was just being rhetorical)
So are you against all mods that change character romance options (which would be fair, albeit conceited), or only the ones that change Juhani's romance (which would be hypocritical)?
I think another reason some are still confused & think Juhani is supposed to be bi, is because as female PC you have two character romance options, as male PC you have only one. So I think some see Juhani & the devs early mixup & say "Oh Juhani's supposed to be bi, so you can have a second romance option with either PC gender" & they think Juhani is supposed to add "balance" to the romance options.
