You know someone really messed with Harry brain when even his Thoughts are left speechless Kim you absolute huggable perfect man I wish to kiss that forehead filled with car details of yours rn...
I wish the homosexual underground thought factored into questioning Klassje, like you are resistant to being compromised by her or something. I tried it and it didn't work.
Klassje isn’t able to compromise and control Harry bc she’s a beautiful woman. It’s because she sees his soul, understands him, and has already passed through the ‘end of bender’ stage…a week ago…when smth craaaaazy happened to her lol. But anyways, that’s my thought. They’re both cut from the same cloth and Harry can be played to be very trusting of people similar to him
Actually, you’ll notice Kim is unaffected in this way. Your skills will tell you as much, he has not been compromised. Harry is a half-dead bisexual who’s been compromised by both Klaasje AND Kim lmao.
Because harry isn't gay? Regardless of how the thought ends, if you know the backstory, which you'd know if you played it out, you know Harry is attracted to women

can I just say that harry giving the textbook bisexual answer about his own sexuality of "it literally doesn't even matter weirdo don't worry abt it teehee" is also Very Funny
I didn't get the drama success when I did this. Took the whole thing as Kim just saying he was so I'd shut up about it, whether he was telling the truth or not wasn't even relevant.
Honestly, I thought that too. Like Kim just gave the answer that would make you stop thinking about useless shit and just get back to the case. "Detective, though I admire your open mindedness, might I remind you that we *still* have to get the dead body out of the tree?"
The fun part is, if you went through with this dialog, you're actually part of the people that are obsessing about other people's sexuality and Kim is kinda roasting you, through Harry On a side note, I have never seen this game before, it looks so cool!

@@Langharig_Tuig Yup, but you're still curious about someone's sexuality. It's arguably "worse" because it's a virtual character. Btw, I'm not criticising the players, just pointing out the irony of the situation. I, myself, would be very curious to know his sexuality :D
@@carlosmspk You're just wrong, is it that hard to admit? People playing a game are just curious for the sake of curiosity. Nothing more to it; there's no irony, no hypocrisy, nothing else but just curiosity itself.
love that homosexual underground phrases things the way that it does because harry...theres a reason you spent 8 hours thinking about your and other peoples sexuality (kims, the smoker) because you are bi. it isnt rumination with no basis. you say to kim "ive finally managed to stop obsessing over my sexuality" and he doesnt really reprimand you for it, but kim is secure in who he is and would like to get back to the case.
I personally like that one of the main characters aren't straight, it gives some diversity in the whole cast but also annoys me that most of the times when someone talks about Kim they mainly talk about them being gay and nothing else (which is quite ironic that Kim calls out this kind of behavior in this clip)
Actually, Harry is heavily alluded to being bi too, and is directly questioned by a pair of eyes he (probably-) hallucinates on the dock wall, infront of the strike. Its just a few lines of dialogue, bisexual being a option among a handful of 'bi' starting words, but it you choose the bisexual option the eyes in the wall say something along the lines of "Yeah, I bet you are." Also his potential flirty interactions with the smoker on the balcony, and the item description for the jean pants you can find in the coal room Cindy the skull sleeps in. Probably other ones I'd missed out hadn't expecterienced in my playthrough. There's a surprising amount of queer subtext and text. So chances are, both main characters are queer. I wasn't all that interested in the homosexual underground thought, so I never completed it, all this is based off what I did run into without it, there's more details I probably have missed.
@@Asdfghjklqwqrty I wouldn't even call it alluded to, but rather it being straight up canon. Harry is obviously into the Smoker on the balcony, and it's the main thing that Kim finds funny about their interactions (the fact that Harry is attracted to him but can't seem to piece it together). It's also canonical that both Kim and Harry are repressed when it comes to their sexualities, but in seems to be in very different ways. When reading the book about the medicinal uses of pale, one of Harry's "inside voices" will tell him that he and Kim should take their pants off and explore eachother's bodies, and that it might help them since "Kim is ever more repressed than he is". Kim is most likely repressed in the sense that he's not really showcasing/making it obvious that he is queer, which makes sense given the fact that he is also half Seolite. He already gets a lot of racist comments, so he doesn't need to give people another reason to harass him (if they ever make a sequel with Harry & Kim being the protags again, i hope they dive into this topic a bit more, since i feel like not many games cover the experience of being a racial minority AND queer). Meanwhile Harry seems to be repressed in the sense that he is queer but doesn't realize it. Yes, while the homosexual underground's message about not being obsessed with other peoples sexualities is good, it also paints a very obvious picture about Harry having internalized biphobia. The homosexual underground thought is one of the ones that takes the longest time to process, all for you to not come to a concrete conclusion, and that's no coincidence. There's also a chance of Harry actually knowing that he is queer, but forgetting it alongside everything else, but I feel like if this were the case, he'd just come to a concrete conclusion. Other notable moments are, Harry literally fantasizing about being spanked by a man (honestly don't remember when exactly this happens, but it does) and Harry hugging the woman in front of the bookstore during the communism quest and there being an internal dialog option about how he'd prefer to be hugging a man. The game also hints at Harry being into Kim (and vice versa), the game's official twitter account has also reposted a Harry x Kim fanart last year for Valentines day (2022), they've also done something similar this year for Valentines but it's a bit in poor taste/this one seemed more like pandering due to what's going on w the company. Anywho there's probably more of these moments I missed.
I've only recently played DE, but have been seeing the memes and people discussing it for ages (both of which usually centers on Kim or Harry), and I've only ever found out Kim's gay in my own playthrough. Not really sure where you're getting that people only talk about that.
I respect him a lot. He's not going to lie about who he is, but it's obvious he values his performance as an officer far more, and wishes Harry would focus on the case instead. I love Kim's character.
@@faithmystery4441 They weren't a couple. His partner, nicknamed Eyes, died because of him. That's why he talks about him the way he does. But yes, he is gay.
His professionalism is utmost, i hada hint or hunch, but just fluttered over the fact subconsciously. The skinny professional dude trope? Has this concept been done enough to be a trope? Anyways
im so fukkn dumb i got this thought hoping to maybe learn what kim thought about the homo-sexual underground and then i pussied out at the first dialogue option cause i didnt wanna bother him, im so bad at this game
Even Kim knows the cringiness of trying to make your sexuality your most defining trait. He'll spare you the cringe and tell you himself what his most defining trait is, he's the goddamn detective who's here to get the job done! honestly I feel like a lot of modern fiction writers can learn from this example.
I'm not sure if I fully understand what you're getting at, but yeah, totally. I read this book called "Hell Followed With Us," basically a dystopia where Christians ended the world with flesh abominations. Anyway, the protagonists are all queer but they have no other personality. I read the whole book because I wanted to like it. The horror was well done, I love flesh abominations/body horror, but the characters had no substance other than being diverse. Like, I couldn't tell a good chunk of them apart...

@@faithmystery4441 They weren't a couple. His partner, nicknamed Eyes, died because of him. That's why he talks about him the way he does.
But yes, he is gay.
@@carlwheezer1640 .....please look at my comment again 😅 I think you misunderstood what I was saying
Or was it the way I worded it?
Reaction Speed: Uhm... uuh... LOL!!
I have no idea what this game is and I am so confused why did I get this
"Uhm... Uh..."
Kis is not gay, he's homosexual, like Freddy Mercury
That’s like pointing to an orange and claiming it isn’t an orange because it’s actually a fruit.
1:04 dayum, twitter in a nutshell.
YOU CAN GET HIM TO WEAR THE JACKET??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!??@
yes. it requires suggestion level 8 though as far as i know
His professionalism is utmost, i hada hint or hunch, but just fluttered over the fact subconsciously. The skinny professional dude trope? Has this concept been done enough to be a trope? Anyways
im so fukkn dumb i got this thought hoping to maybe learn what kim thought about the homo-sexual underground and then i pussied out at the first dialogue option cause i didnt wanna bother him, im so bad at this game
So Kim is homosexual? I'm actually surprised. But i'm okay with the news.
🏳🌈
Trash
Ok maybe i need to buy this game
Game speaks not to Harry, but to a player,
Man i love this game so much lol
i assumed the conclusion/"bonus" was just the game trolling you for spending the time/thought cabinet slot on it lol completely missed this dialogue
so is that a yes or...?
we cant marry him can we?
Even Kim knows the cringiness of trying to make your sexuality your most defining trait. He'll spare you the cringe and tell you himself what his most defining trait is, he's the goddamn detective who's here to get the job done! honestly I feel like a lot of modern fiction writers can learn from this example.
I'm not sure if I fully understand what you're getting at, but yeah, totally. I read this book called "Hell Followed With Us," basically a dystopia where Christians ended the world with flesh abominations. Anyway, the protagonists are all queer but they have no other personality. I read the whole book because I wanted to like it. The horror was well done, I love flesh abominations/body horror, but the characters had no substance other than being diverse. Like, I couldn't tell a good chunk of them apart...
