A New Degree of Homophobia in Fire Emblem Fates

A big trigger warning for gay conversion therapy here as well as drugs. And spoilers, obviously.
So, there’s a female character named Soleil in Fire Emblem Fates. She is a lesbian, that is her actual canon character trait. She speaks about being attracted to girls and she finds men ugly, and yet you can’t romance her as the female Kamui (the player avatar), only as the male Kamui. How you may ask? Well, you’ll regret asking.
So the male Kamui drugs Soleil with a magic powder (without consent) that makes her perceive men as women, during this she begins having feelings for the player, so far suggesting it’s only because she now perceives them as a woman. When the powder wears off, she finds herself in love and attracted to the male Kamui sexually, asking him to touch her and so forth.
In her early dialogue she speaks of her lesbianism as a weakness preventing her from being a strong woman, and this is what causes the player to go through with drugging her and “turning her straight”. Once again, there is no option to romance Soleil with the female Kamui, despite her being a lesbian, you must go through with magical gay conversion therapy if you wish to romance her.
Countless people commit suicide every year due to gay conversion therapy or simply from having forced heterosexual advances pushed on them despite stating their homosexuality. Thanks Nintendo. If you wish to read the full dialogue translated from the Japanese release, here is is.
But hey, at least you can buy the “Lesbian” version of the game, right? After all, this isn’t in that version, only in the other one.
Fuck you Nintendo, as if this shit wasn’t already bad enough.

Update:

To people asking me for proof that the translation is correct. I was linked a video that contains one of the scenes from the text and had it verified by somebody who reads Japanese. While it’s just one scene, it matches it and I doubt somebody made up the introduction to that bit.

Also, it turns out some people have tried to warn about this since the 26th, a friend of mine linked to an old tweet of their (Private account, won’t link) where they spoke about this and how it worried them. So yeah. It’s essentially confirmed. Now stop ignoring it.
