During Orwell, the player-character discovers forum posts accusing Abraham Goldfels of being gay. Later in the game, it's determined that this is a lie; however, the forum includes a number of discussions about being gay. Some individuals claim that it's wrong to 'out' people on the forum, while others (depicted as conservative or ignorant) use offensive language.
