Bhalwuf i fear that's the most autistic thing ive read in a while

This comment section is a dumpster fire and it's hilarious.

Once again I mean you no grief, I merely want to ensure that If you truly do act out of a wish for realism that you either already have a good study to work from, or if not that you can have a more conservative (non-political) estimate for populations that you can easily use as impetus to look further into the anthropological and historical research.

I mean you no grief but you speak of realism, yet everything I have read suggests the population ratios being closer to, and because no one totally agrees on the statistic perfectly these #s are aggregate and not from any one article or journal, ~33% Bisexual, ~33% heterosexual, ~25% Homosexual, ~8% Asexual

what the fuck is this nonsense about orientation chances jesus christ bro go spend time with your father

Oh gosh, I had to separate that text into the best sense I could. sorry guys

Above all, Kids need to be kept safe, but allowed to explore the world as they grow, not told what to be. Not told who to be, and not told how to be it.

99% kids do NOT know who they are, they just know the path they are taking, one step at a time. heck even at 35 I am still learning things about me, I should never stop learning, that would be ignorant.

Let the kids enjoy the world before the world crushes all hopes and dreams.
Just try to keep them as safe you can while doing it. Its all a parent can do and give them the freedom they need.

And if a kid turns out to be gay. LET THEM BE GAY. Just help the young person to be safe in the path they take.

If you cant make an argument work without insults and violence then its likely a invalid way of thinking,
or no thinking is actually being done by said party that is doing said negative actions.

Some people are just sheep, and cant think for themselves. Not an insult, an observation.

Even math can't prove itself with itself, it needs another point of reference to even be known.
That is a long story itself.
Check that math story with searching philosophy/history, its very mind melting with its logic.

-Yes most past cultures don't agree with same sex marriage. (that is likely from fear)
-Yes as a scientific person it makes little sense, some sense but very little. (whole another topic)
-Yes the hater's should grow up and let them be, stop the hate.
-No, just because I tolerate some one does not make them right or allow their believe to be above mine. It means I am showing respect to live in harmony.
-No, I do not need to accept another's identity to be non-phobic, I use logic and realistic standards to judge things, that defeats most arguments before they are spoken.
-No something defining itself with itself is not proof of truth, its insanity and ignorance.

As a Straight man (tho Ryan Reynolds.....mhm)
No one should fight anyone to make them believe in just straight couple pairing. Let people be people, as long as its not forced, not violence, and not hurting anyone, I really see no problem.
(heck Rim-world lets you do war-crimes, purge on your own time/games only your pawns care)

seethe and cope. people are queer. get over it or die and get out of the way.

don't impose your messed up fringe western logic upon the world. that is a form of supremacy itself. a form of colonialization and forced acceptance of fringe culture upon the world. that itself is no less facist and supremacist.

Lmao at the homophobes still crawling out of the woodwork to get angry at a mod that isn't even being updated anymore. There's even a setting to change the default values! Why waste the effort to complain?

Anyway, Tynan Sylvester's views on sexuality aren't exactly backed up by scientific consensus, and are handled clumsily in the vanilla game. This mod addressed that issue elegantly.

If you're looking for a current version of this mod, search the workshop - I believe a few other folks are continuing the project :)

hello! I was wondering if you'd be interested in briefly talking about this mod and RimWorld's gender/sexuality system in general for an academic paper I'm working on? specifically i'd love to hear your motivations for updating the mod mod, and how the vanilla game has changed since the original mod was created. feel free to send me a dm and we can arrange contact if you're at all interested!

"biological, sociological and historical evidence strongly suggest that, in the absence of cultural imperatives to the contrary, bisexuality is actually the "default" status for most humans."

This statement is false. There is substantial evidence to the contrary. There is also no human evidence that can be or has been which lacks said imperative, as this idea of "culture" of some variety is tied to humanity. Perhaps you're referencing studies on hyenas?

Overall, instead of provoking an argument, why not just own up to the fact that humans still have evolutionary potential (especially cognitive), such as those sexual in nature, hence the fluid identifications that are now becoming prevalent - an inevitable development, as humans and technology are one.

Is it compatible with Psychology?

Can this please be updated to 1.3?

referring to the info in the comment below me... you utter king. installing this so fast I need a new wireless mouse

"I set the percentages this way because biological, sociological and historical evidence strongly suggest that, in the absence of cultural imperatives to the contrary, bisexuality is actually the "default" status for most humans."

Can you point me to such evidence? I mean this in an entirely non-judgmental fashion and with good faith - I'd love to have ammunition against people who say otherwise.

This mod deactivates all of my other mods when I turn it on.

Sometimes a pawn will decide to attempt a hookup with someone who's hauling something across the map, and will end up following them for way too long. Also, even if they agree to a hookup they never seem to actually do it.

@Doom Hey man I hate my country as much as the next guy but we aren't all fat and lazy.

99% sure Americans made this mod. Why are they like this guys?

damn, good mod but you need to adjust the likelihood of gay or bisexual people coming up, my 16 pawns colony had only 4 straight pawns!

As mentioned in the description and discussed in comments, the default spread converts the Kinsey scale to Rimworld's trait-based system. Pawns can only have attraction to gender Y/N, there is no smooth scaling. Thus the only pawns who should not be given the Bisexual traits are the Kinsey 0s, 6s, and Xs. Since 0 and 6 are fairly uncommon results in Kinsey's study, that's what you end up with. If you wish to consider 1s and 5s to also be straight/gay, that's what the mod settings are for. Also, when this was initially released, vanilla was a lot less rational than it is now. :)

"Rational Romance"

"50% of pawns will be bisexual by default"

*looks outside for rationale*

ur link is kinda broken to me for some reason
so i put the link here

This looks very nifty, because the stock romance/sexualilty stuff is annoying even if you aren't offended by its 1950s fantasy version of human sexuality. BUT, I wonder how badly it will collide with the other parts of Individuality {LINK REMOVED}(https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1497105115) when the latter's broken romance/sexuality logic is turned off with its provided checkbox. I really like that mod's rework of many traits.

Hello, I have no notification that there are dates or new couple is normal? Besides there are big ones from time to time without there and couple (I use the mod children, school and learning)

@Mlie: Nicely done you have the unending gratitude of myself, and countless others!

Made an update of this for RimWorld 1.1
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2013144996
Hope this helps someone!

Dang I didn't know RF had quit, I love their mods! If anyone wants to take up the mantle and update this I'll be sure to donate to them!

Very sad to hear Rainbeau Flambe quit the modding community :\ Loved their mods!

This will need more than an update to 1.1, it's going to need some slight modification because Tynan is including a few traits that Rational Romance uses, or adds itself.

@pheanox, why'd they quit?

Unfortunately Rainbeau Flambe quit the modding community so its going to have to be updated by someone else.

I'm going to cry if this doesn't get to 1.1

Will this mod be updated to 1.1? Also I think the asexual and bisexual trait is made official.

I am hoping this will be updated to 1.1 in the near future?

Can you fix the Asexual trait? It does not seem to actually work

I always wanted my own harem, thanks flambe!

Between the Date Glitch and the Affair Glitch, is this mod dead?

Mike "The Electric Fence" Pence only partially approves.

I seem to have found a partial workaround solution for the incompatibility issues with this mod.

In your C:\Users\"Computer name here"\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Config folder open the Mod_1543164506_Controller.xml with a notepad file and delete the following lines:

<alienLoveChance>100.99</alienLoveChance>
<hookupRate>200.99</hookupRate>
<dateRate>100.2002</dateRate>

Then save the file.

From what I can tell this stops the mods values from being referenced or overriding the vanilla functions of dating and such so they once again work as usual.

Alright, some more info on the subject, changing the gensight check to p1.Position definitely validates the valid routes properly, however, the job queue doesn't seem to be registering the dates now...

Well, I don't know, I'm out of ideas, I suppose I'll just disable them altogether.

Well, I found out the issue with the dates that are never carried out. The "GenSight.LineOfSight(intVec3, radialPattern, p1.Map, false, null, 0, 0)" check fails, no matter what, even if they're right next to a beautiful place (with 820+ beauty statues for example).

I suppose removing this check might cause some unwanted issues with pathfinding, but perhaps simply changing the first parameter to p1.Position will do the trick.

Ah yes, they're definitely not being denied. I compiled the dll with debug settings (Thank you author for including the debug log message lines!) and it clearly fails when attempting to find a path for it. I'll fiddle with the code a bit and see if I can make it less restrictive when it comes to finding a proper date location and if that does the trick.

@Crunchy The couple in question is already married, there's no reason the date should be denied. I also have plenty of reason to believe it's not denied and yes a bug because it doesn't state that it was denied in the social log.
Also, in the comments below, apparently more people are having this issue.
