Message: <blockquote data-quote="barsoomcore" data-source="post: 2777414" data-attributes="member: 812">A female NPC in Barsoom fell in love with a female PC. The NPC was a former noblewoman who'd been turned into a vampire (which on Barsoom is a savagely painful and horrifying experience) and spent a few centuries being completely psychotic.I'm with fu (as I usually am) in that the "roles" of sexuality we currently make such a big deal over simply don't exist in other cultures. This woman had been married in her mortal life, and had a child and held titles as a married woman of her society, and yet her sexual preference was for women and she had female lovers -- but to the society she lived in, this was no problem whatsoever because she was fulfilling her primary role as wife and mother. People flat-out didn't care.I wondered in fact if such behaviour wouldn't be considered LESS problematic to her society than if she took male lovers -- at least with her prediliction, she has no chance of disrupting the succession with bastard children. The husband never has to worry that her children aren't his.</blockquote>
