The game has just been nominated for two Gayming Magazine Awards due to its (optional) gay romance.
“TRIGGER WARNING,” the post begins. “Among all the various awards and nominations we’ve received, we’ve also just been nominated for the @gaymingmag GAYMING AWARDS! I’m really proud of that, because I absolutely stand by the fact that the way we did it is exactly how something like this should be done. Non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (because we show how things really were in the Middle Ages without idealizing them)–and without shoving it down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rightfully called ‘woke’ these days. We made the gay community happy and gave them the CHOICE to be themselves, just like we did for others in other choices and quests, and anyone who isn’t interested probably didn’t even notice. Except, of course, for [a] very small and very loud minority.”
The first KCD faced criticism for having exclusively white characters in it, and Vávra saying that was historically accurate (spoiler: people from Africa and Asia were in the Roman Empire at that time; generally as merchants or slaves). Vávra supported gamergate, and has always been vocally “anti woke”.
There was a surge in purchases of KCD2 when Vávra claimed Dragon Age Veilguard failed solely because of involving “gender politics” in the game, which gives you a pretty good idea of a large portion of the gamerbase for the KCD games.

Any evidence that these slaves and merchants existed in Bohemia, or no? Because “The (Holy) Roman Empire” is a wide area.
