Nah.

You become immune to all diseases, illnesses, ailments, and malaises, and are incredibly physically hardy and healthy (but not immortal), except that you are now deathly allergic to one randomly determined semi-common foodstuff and you have no idea what it is.

"Almost everyone in the world who was straight suddenly became gay overnight with no corresponding societal changes to make this acceptable" is itself already an unrealistic event, so the fact that a specific outcome of that happening is also unrealistic is kinda to be expected.

Also, gay people existed in real life during the game's timeframe and did in fact regularly get married and have kids just to keep their lineages going. When the rules of society are still telling you to get pregnant or get other people pregnant to keep the family intact, you kinda gotta do that.

It ain't Crusader Kings if powerful vassals aren't cunts.

I can't believe it. They really did it.

Spoiler: a picture (click to show/hide)

They turned repetitive inbreeding into a potentially profitable endeavor.

Nah. I don't have any use for bullet immunity, but I do have use for temperature defense.

You die instantly, but the most evil person alive on the planet (whoever that is) also dies.

867’s still in the game? I thought they removed it when I heard they’d taken out the Charlemagne start. Sweet.

No. Legally owning a space elevator on its own isn't inherently useful enough to justify the music change. Also, I'd rather die than listen to music I hate.

You, your immediate family, your extended family, and any and all people currently living who are related to any of your great-great-great-grandparents instantly die, but climate change is solved, practical cold fusion for power generation is implemented, and world peace is achieved.

Jumped a bit too far down the second-last staircase before the bridge Sinh ambushes you on and rolled off the edge when I hit the platform at the bottom.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin (in the Crown of the Sunken King DLC)

Nope.

The button instantly solves world hunger, but you will always feel like you're starving.

COVID was engineered by the USA, now?  :o   
trump and his lack of action is why we lost so many jobs

most of this
a few things: the trope is indeed "cis/het white male". being single is a possible and somewhat humorous addition to the trope that worsens the entitlement such people have and the misogyny they tend to exude, but it's not mandatory. being cisgendered and heterosexual both are, however. and since you're neither cis nor het by your own admission, not only does the stereotype not apply to you, you are infinitely more likely to be targeted by the nazis in the looming neo-nazi takeover of the united states (which is a phrase i use with absolutely deadly sincerity) than you are at all by any sort of minority group for nearly any reason.

also, you will never, ever, EVER be lumped in with neo-nazis and fascists just for being Le White Man by any person who is actually anti-nazi and concerned about civil rights. "all white dudes are automatically racist and terrible and secret nazis" is not a statement that civil rights activists, trans rights activists, black lives matter activists, etc, who are the people probably most likely to make such statements if the nazi expulsion you described occurs, will ever make, both because they do not believe it and because it is untrue. if anything, the fact that you think you're going to be targeted for your whiteness and maleness would be worse to them, because white supremacists think the exact same thing. "all white people and especially white men benefit from privilege granted to them by racism" is more accurate and something they are more likely to say, because they already do.

i will pause here to clarify that i do not believe you are a white supremacist and i am not intending to imply that you are a white supremacist just because you think this, but the fact remains that this is part of white supremacist rhetoric.

...a "dangerous populist shift toward minority-pandering" will never happen and coincidentally also happens to be another thing that white supremacists think. racism doesn't go both ways; minorities are not going to flip the switch and start oppressing the damn crackers for our mayonnaise-like pallor. like, frankly, this is a little stupid.

Probably the fact that a fifty-year-old woman has
the portrait and ostensible in-universe appearance of a child.
