Webfishing, the delightful $5 chat room fishing game released last month, includes a selection of cosmetic titles you can collect to display to other players below your username.

At time of writing, it's unclear whether they'd noticed the vast majority of other human media that assumes a default straight perspective. Easy to miss, but as a straight guy, I promise you: [[link]] We're doing fine on that front.
