This reminds me of when one of my friends was playing Fallout: New Vegas back when it was still new, and decided to give his character the "Confirmed Bachelor" perk...which states that it will give your (male) character a damage bonus against male enemies, and unique dialogue options for male NPCs. It was very implied to be the "make your character gay" perk, but he didn't realize it until he suddenly started getting flirty dialogue options with male NPCs.
He wasn't very happy...I still find it hilarious that he got mad about something he opted into.
For the record, we're more acquaintances than friends these days. He went hard right. Naturally.
