Hardly modern. Gay individuals have always existed. There is one key difference, however. If those individuals came out during those times, it's very possible they may have been executed by the church. This would explain why you don't hear too many stories about openly gay people from antiquity. Not impossible to find, but uncommon. Considering Dion is around people he commands and whom his troops respect, it makes sense why they would openly accept him.
@@Hawkenwhacker as someone who has read the Bible, I am perfectly aware that homosexuals have always existed. keep in mind, however, that I did not simply say "medieval" setting. I said "medieval FANASY" setting, and historically medieval fantasy doesn't have important scenes be sidetracked by one of the primary characters slobbering over another man while yes you do see that in *modern* medieval fantasy works, it's inclusion is less about being faithful to the time period and more about modern writers injecting the current day into their stories because they cannot write anything that doesn't reflect the world in which we currently live. consequently, there is a growing number of medieval fantasy stories-heck, stories in general-that have aspects of our modern world shoved into it that add nothing to those stories and in extreme cases downright make them *worse* while the talentless hacks writing these things in defend them with "oh this stuff happened back then, I'm just being faithful to the times" which, to me at least, feels like a very scummy practice indeed.
Thank you for the extension, so much easier to have this running in the back on a long walk.
Yet another gift to the internet.
All three of them had been ruined by you guess it, A Karen.

thank you, Sweet Baby Inc. Modern personality traits are exactly what this medieval fantasy game needed.
