Answer to Brittonbubba 's comment from another thread (third part out of three)

'' « Why does he need to improve himself? He's already got an infinite harem and he's basically invincible. » ''

 He doesn’t. It is a choice rather than a need, because every existence needs a purpose, and endlessly discovering new planes, learning new things, gaining new abilities and meeting/bedding/marrying new women are a deeply satisfying lifestyle you just don’t get tired of ^ ^

'' « "Data" is gradually unlocked? THE UNIVERSE IS A SIMULATION CONFIRMED » ''

 " Data " in this context refers to the empirical knowledge he collects via personal scanning (a process also called " memorization " ), which can be summed-up by " perfect blueprint ", and is the basis of his construction, transmutation and engineering abilities.

 He collect all information in one fell swoop when joining a new plane/reality for safekeeping, but keeps it in a locked section of his mind to avoid spoilers, and unlocks the relevant parts little by little alongside histravels and experiences, to create a motivating "earn what you get" adventuring dynamic.

 In other words, reality is simply reality, is it just his approach of it that is computer/game-like.

'' « Like, is this paragraph even necessary? Seriously, straight is something society never questions. That's why the word "heteronormative" exists. Nobody is going to ask why you're straight or that you're sinful for being that way. » ''

 Actually, it is. Due to his perfect Shapeshifting / Mindshifting and very rich sex-life, the reason as to why he adamantly remains a "straight male" all along in body and mind had to be addressed sooner or later, because the natural evolution would be to expend his field of experience rather than restrict it (Zeus himself went bi eventually, simply because he wanted to experience something different).

'' « I looked ahead in the article and it showed faceclaims for your powers and they were almost exclusively for destroying, so... What's the truth? » ''

 Selforge City itself, the Selforge Domains completing it, the Inner Planes where citizens adventure, his personal Soul Haven, the immense Legacy Heaven, the complete immortality, the metaphysical transhumanism, the superpowers, etc. etc. etc., all of it directly powered and operated by Selforge Technology in its myriad forms, which is nothing less than engineered shards of Lawrence’s essence.

 So aside from the " Live Action " gallery and "Selforge Soldiers" section (which are obviously about battles), the entire setting and everything in it are essentially a tribute to the amazing constructive potential of his powers.

'' « You can look like a celebrity without saying you're a celebrity. That's why there's celebrity look-alike contests. » ''

 Precisely. Lawrence isn’t anyone’s look-alike, he is his own unique person and always looks the part.

'' « I don't think there was any allusion to what the S.T.A.R. system even was before hand, so I don't understand this. Not that I can't comprehend the rest of it. » ''

 The S.T.A.R system is mentioned in reference to Selforge Soldiers, you will thus find the answer in the titular section ^ ^

'' « This is just... absolutely disgusting. It's just hypocritical, sexist, and fetishizes bisexuality in one fell swoop. I thought you were on this whole thing about how your character was heterosexual because it was imprinted upon him at birth, yet anyone who goes there turns bisexual to appease your fantasies of women making out with each other while you fuck them. » ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Interestingly, the answer lies in your own question. Lawrence’s heterosexuality was "imprinted" at birth alongside the rest of his core personality, and that is why it remains adamantly unchanging over the eons (hence the importance of the explanation you dismissed before).

<p class="MsoNormal"> Citizens on the other hand weren’t imprinted anything, and that is why their sexuality is more flexible than his own. As it so happens, humans’ orientation isn’t actually predetermined by their " nature " or set in stone at any given point in their life. It is actually the shifting product of their psycho-relational evolution, gradually shaped by social influences and environmental factors alongside their own personal identifications and expectations.

<p class="MsoNormal"> In other words, living in " ideally favorable and hedonistic environment " where the  mono-gender population is " extremely attractive and empathic ", and heteronormative pressure is completely absent, is bound to make even the straightest of straight bi-curious relatively soon. Add to that an eternity of happy interactions day after day, and full-on bisexuality is virtually inevitable sooner or later.

<p class="MsoNormal"> So while the wish fulfillment is undeniable, it is also a perfectly realistic development.
