>>50414589Bede always had that faggy side to him, retards just willfully ignored it because he was the first "rival" to be a blatant dick for no discernable reason and was actually a difficulty spike for some (though not comparable to older rivals). Opal gave him a direction in life, which is what he wanted, and an outlet. The main issue is nowhere do we see any development or even have this inferred, because the overall storytelling in SwSh is the worst the franchise has ever been.
