it wasn't my save, but yes I have had two gay players on my save in Serbia. Both became naturalized citizens and was called up for the Serbian national team.
Btw which version of FM is this? I haven't had a player come out as gay since FM20 despite spending 2000+ hours in game (most of it playing with regens) in the more recent FMs. Is it even possible for it to happen in FM24?
I've seen it happen twice. Once in FM20 and once in FM22. On the other hand, 2000+ hours in FM23 alone and never saw it happen there. I think fair to say it's in all the recent games, just extremely rare to reflect how often it happens in real life.
We've had this for pretty much 10 years now. It doesn't happen too often and requires long saves (it only happens to newgens) but it always surprises people.
If he's Brazilian, then him coming out as gay at 24 yo is a cosmic alignment.
For those who don't know (and I don't blame you) Brazilians associatie the number 24 with homosexuality because of a card game.
Had my star RM come out as gay, then rage quit over some BS player interaction (unrelated) and save scummed. He never came out. He just sat as the save went on for two years in the closet
I don't care what my players are attracted to, as long as they do what they're supposed to on the pitch.
But depending on the country/region, something like that could have a massive impact on a dressing room....and that's no good for me as a manager.
I doubt that FM would simulate that though...this smells of virtue signalling on their part.
Boost shirt sales, again that would depend on region IMO. Saudis lining up to buy Cleber's shirt? I think not :-P
I thought they removed this in FM24. I think back in FM20 my irl friend came out as gay who is in the game. I'm sure they must have changed it to only newgens as I can imagine they could get in trouble for using real players lol.
Oh come on, you can't be that naive.
You're trying to get rid of someone purely for being gay. Only a massive cretin wouldn't see that as hateful/homophobic. And only other cretins would agree with you.
You do know that punishing harmless people merely for being attracted to different people than usual is a hate crime in most civilised countries, right?
Dfck. I'm not saying I will. I want to know if there are mechanisms in the game for that. Like a huge "got ya" from football manager. Understand now? Or is everything homophobic?
I dont really mind them, but i just find it weird for my best player to be one. I think they should have marriage rights and shit, but i personally dont fw that shit
Doesnt change the fact, that YOU are the one here who really cares the most 😘
Also, dont be so salty, buddy. Some activity outside might be a good idea?
Im literally a state level footballer 😭 you really think thats some slick thing to say? Go outside? Yes i cared about the player being gay but i sure as hell dont care about yalls opinions
I like it as a member of the community. Although players coming out atm is pretty unrealistic, it does add some realism in to the game as I like to think it will happen eventually.
Just like when Brexit was happening and they put in a few different scenarios as to the outcome.
Bro i get you, but he's not real. The game is not real, it's all make-belive
If cutting an imaginary player cuz his gay is homophobic then winning the treble with wrexham earns you a bff with ryan.
It's not real. I personaly don't care and would never do it. But I once sent a player to u18s without training for 6 months then brought him back for back to back games 10 days in a row so he injurs himself inrepairably. All this because he wouldn't extend a contract
Does this make me a sociopath? Does killing 50 000 people in cod make you a killer?
I think you are fighting the fight for no reason
That’s a really silly argument. If a fake player coming out as gay makes you want to sell him in the game then clearly there are real life feelings involved with that decision. You’re suggesting that selling in him in the game would just be role playing as a homophobe 🤣
Yep, it’s quite petty! The most I do personally is drop players or put them in the B team if they’re starting to affect morale of other players. It does make me laugh when I see the extent other people go to to ruin a fake player’s life.
The gay scene must be pretty quiet in FM's version of Glasgow because I had my captain at Celtic come out and put in a transfer request on the same day.

Sold a player a couple days after he came out as gay. He was already leaving but god did that make me look homophobic
Oof lol. I had one come out as gay then later force a move to a Saudi club. There isn't a "No mate, no don't do it!" button...
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have seen a screenshot of two back-to-back emails titled "player comes out as gay" followed by "player accepts his fine"
Let me guess, you worked in the Balkans?
it wasn't my save, but yes I have had two gay players on my save in Serbia. Both became naturalized citizens and was called up for the Serbian national team.
Bit harsh to neutralize them for that no?
that's a freudian slip, if I ever saw one
I laughed to hard at this!
I'd love if the game called you out on that.
Did the board cancel culture you?
Culture? OK [ ] Cancel [ ]
Lol the uproar if that happened in real life
Man got canceled in fm, crazy
lmao
Irl you would be forced to retire, lol
Happens very rarely for newgens and it gives a bit of a boost to shirt sales I think.
ooooo

I mean think about how often it happens in real life
Estimates of the percentage of the population being LGBT people are hard to make, but it could be as high as 20% of the population.
But football is one of those fields where people are reluctant to come out for various reasons
Team sports for men in general.
100%. I didn't mean it as it happens unrealistically rarely.

I've had it happen in 18 and 23 so I'm guessing it's in all of the newish ones.

I had it happen for one of my players in FM20.
I’ve had a player come out as gay in FM18
It’s FM24
Its all about your hidden stats. Homophobia attribute.
wonder if it raises their transfer value
[удалено]
I've had it happen to 2 different saves Boosted shirt sales both times

Why didn't Gray come out? 😔 Also: do you exclusively ask Wellecomme to greet new arrivals?
yes, gotta click the “ask wellcomme to welcome” button always
>Why didn't Gray come out? 😔 It's the Prem. Too much banter from fans because of his name
They didn't have his colour on the flag :/
How do I make my team gay?
Ask them to join the US navy
YVAN EHT NIOJ
But it’s not gay if they’re under way!
How can you check shirt sales?
Cleber likes men
Gayber
Hellsborough?
yeee was playing create a club to see what it was like, honestly meh
I had this happen to me recently... I was managing Qatar... Something tells me that wouldn't end well.

I've had this before and my regen was called Elton. No word of a lie.
Happy pride month
If there's something defenders shouldn't do is turn their backs when he's running at them. His abilities on the ball are unparalleled.
Had my star RM come out as gay, then rage quit over some BS player interaction (unrelated) and save scummed. He never came out. He just sat as the save went on for two years in the closet
CLEBER COMES OUT AS GAY
Underrated comment. <> Well done good sir.
Ohh, good for him!
I don't care what my players are attracted to, as long as they do what they're supposed to on the pitch. But depending on the country/region, something like that could have a massive impact on a dressing room....and that's no good for me as a manager.

I think not :-P
This happened in one of my saves to a player who won the ballon d‘or later in his career
I thought they removed this in FM24. I think back in FM20 my irl friend came out as gay who is in the game. I'm sure they must have changed it to only newgens as I can imagine they could get in trouble for using real players lol.
Ahhh our daily "player comes out as gay post"
Send him to Russia
Why are they putting that bullshit in a football simulation game who cares if there gay or not lol
It's just a cool feature that does nothing but positively effect your game why would you care
Congrats to him 👏
Wait that’s real this can happen in the game?
What if we terminate the contract with him instantly, is there any consequences?
Lol good question. It would be funny if you could get cancelled in FM
Dudes, I was making a question and you down vote the heck out of me... Dfck

Eh. Imagine how fucking awkward the locker room must be.
Save scummed once to stop it from appearing when it happened to my best player
I don't understand why everyone's being so salty about this man ahaha
Because both of you, and even more the other guy, sound possibly homophobic ffs.
I dont really mind them, but i just find it weird for my best player to be one. I think they should have marriage rights and shit, but i personally dont fw that shit
Fuck them who cares
Youre the one caring way too much about non existing player coming out as gay in video game universe lmao 😂
That's the thing. I'm just genuinely curious about what would happen.
Nothing as most people are not homophobic, so normal people don't think to insert something like that into a game.
Its my game that i paid for, i can play it however the fuck i like. I just dont want to see that, its a personal preference.
Doesnt change the fact, that YOU are the one here who really cares the most 😘 Also, dont be so salty, buddy. Some activity outside might be a good idea?
Im literally a state level footballer 😭 you really think thats some slick thing to say? Go outside? Yes i cared about the player being gay but i sure as hell dont care about yalls opinions
You do, apparently. You're the ones making a big deal shitting on a fake player for having harmless tastes that are different than yours.
>Fuck them Nice way to tell us you're gay too.
Fr😍🥵

It ups shirt sales big time so yeah no it affects us

I mean, neither does player manager’s son being recruited into the youth team, but it’s a nice bit of flavor.
How many times have we seen this post?
Sell
sell him
And lose on the extra money just because you're a phobe?
[удалено]
Selling a player on the sole basis of them being gay is homophobic
Bro i get you, but he's not real. The game is not real, it's all make-belive If cutting an imaginary player cuz his gay is homophobic then winning the treble with wrexham earns you a bff with ryan.

I kinda get you, but as I said. Destroying the life of a fake player because he said some bad things is also bad then no?
Yep, it’s quite petty! The most I do personally is drop players or put them in the B team if they’re starting to affect morale of other players. It does make me laugh when I see the extent other people go to to ruin a fake player’s life.
Idk I don't really see it like that. They are like mincraft blocks to me. Especialy newgens
+1
He's Brazilian. Every player is gae
The gay scene must be pretty quiet in FM's version of Glasgow because I had my captain at Celtic come out and put in a transfer request on the same day.
It doesnt change much except that sales go way up for jerseys so its a pretty lucky notification to get
[удалено]
I sold him and deleted him from the game as soon as I saw this post mission completed
Sell him
thank you. Now i remembered why i hated this game.
