Outer Worlds. Specifically when you have the conversation with Parvati in the bar about asexuality.

As someone who's generally not been sexually attracted to anyone but is masculine, I felt a connection in the dialogue that I've never really felt from any media before, ever.

"I've tripped up folks in the past. Folks I thought cared about me for me. People said I was Cold."

Man I've never felt representation like that. Sex to me is so strange and often gives me a disgusting vibe, though I won't deny it to my partner, its just not in my DNA I guess.

Anyways. Never finished that game. After that conversation, I lost most interest in any other dialogue in the game. Might go back at some point, but not yet.
