I waited for a few more reviews on the other game store website to solidify the rating (ideally, I'll wait for 30, but I already have a pretty good idea at 20), but yeah, I'm totally getting the game at this point.

The vibe of the game, from what I can see from the promotional material, throws me back to when I played Secret of Mana on the SNES. They are really pulling at my heartstrings with their aesthetics.

Honestly, for me, it depends on the context. I'm an hetero guy, so if they throw at me an erotic game where the erotic elements are the most prominent part of the game and it is between guys, yeah, I'd like to know and I'm likely to pass.

Otherwise, I guess it is a hot topic right now, both for a lot of progressives (a strong plus for them) and conservatives (a warning for them) so guess tags like "LGBTQ+" or "female protagonist" or whatnot might strongly influence those people's decision to buy a game or not, hence those labels on a game store.

For moderates like me (and I guess likely you), it is a bunch of additional info that won't really impact the decision to buy the game or not (though perhaps a minor spoiler about parts of the plot sometimes, if the 3 main protagonists are 2 guys and a woman and they say "gay themes" prominently in the description, I guess you know who is likely ending up together).

Interesting times we live in. I guess a lot of that stuff will mellow down over the years as it settles more strongly into the cultural norms at which point most promotional material, unless the content is strongly erotic in nature, will feel less compelled to talk about it.

There are games where the developer focused on making a great game and the game just happens to have LGBT+ topics in it.

And there are games where the developer focused on sending a political message and just wrapped it into a game.

The first sentence on this game's page might be a bit unfortunate because it sounds a bit like the latter is the focus, hence probably the low rating from people who have not even played it.

Ikenfell in comparison, doesn't mention it at all (except on the tag) and if you play it you clearly know the focus here was on making a great game.

I think most people have no problems with LGBT+ itself, it's just that in recent times this string of letters was more of an indicator for bad gameplay, so people are kinda prejudiced on that now.

Yes, its all about context. In a different time and place, I can recall when the tag "female protagonist" would be a reason for me to actually give a game more consideration, especially if the game was rated highly.

I try, and have tried, to remove my political agenda from discussions on a gaming forum and could go into more detail on my political position, but for these purposes moderate is close enough. As another user stated, I too just wanted specificity and clarification on the games content, rather than passing any judgement on it.
Even though it's a fantasy world of the authors creation, if it's too politicised or so flawed and removed from reality that the fantasy cannot be reasonably believed, then this would be a product I would probably not enjoy. I find it difficult to enjoy a product with outrageous and obvious anachronisms, and I think that this is pretty fair. I would question the motives of the game if things were reversed or if it were a position I agree with wholeheartedly.

(and sometimes find it difficult to relate to dialogue written in a modern American demotic especially when the setting doesn't suit it, but it's just a matter of personal preference, so it can be ignored).
I imagine in reverse that this would be true, that my fellows from across the pond would find it difficult to relate to the characters and world if every person in every scenario spoke as if they were from Victorian Britain. It is the same as you say regarding being heterosexual and male. It's just how people are. It's easier to relate to things similar to oneself.
