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.

Full Transcript of Kamui x Soleil dialogue
I crossed out everything you got wrong. First off, Soleil is BISEXUAL.
“As a matter of fact, as we progress further we find out that she never intended to have serious relationships with women to begin with, despite playing around in the past. She just has an infatuation with cute girls. Soleli likes men.
If you're playing as a male, one of Soleil's support quests boils down to helping her get over a certain mental obstacle. As it turn out, Soleil has been getting distracted by all the cute girls in the Fire Emblem universe, so much so that she ends up fainting whenever she sees one. As you can expect, fainting in the middle of combat isn't ideal, so she asks the main character to help her. After a short sequence of events, the main character secretly uses magic on Soleil that causes her to perceive all females as males and vice-versa, under the implication that her recovery wouldn't work if she knew what was happening in advance. It's also worth noting that after the support quest, Soleli doesn't detest the main character from hiding it from her. In fact, she thanks him because it helped her overcome her predicament.”
“People have been spreading that she’s trying to "cure her lesbianism" when this just isn't the case (keep in mind we still think she's bi at this point). She's trying to stop getting distracted by girls because it's literally preventing her from performing on the battlefield. At the end of the questline the magic's effects essentially become nil; she’s still very flirtatious with cute girls, but she's come to treat men with the same attitude. To conclude, Soleli can now face cute girls in combat without passing out from their adorableness. MISSION COMPLETE“
