Sexuality in video games, sorry unnecessary. I don't go in a game for sex and relationships, whether homosexual or not, I go there to run over pedestrians in GTA.
just avoid this

Dude, quit acting all defensive. We're not out to get you. We just resent being called cunts because we don't want obviously gay protagonists in our videogames. If you're going to argue your point, try to be a bit more calm (and a bit less insulting) about it.AWC Viper said:
Go play the Streets of Rage games. You'll probably reconsider you postition of wanting more gayness in video games.
Ultimately, I don't see how homosexuality would change anything in a video game setting to benefit the game. I see it doing two things. It would create lots of publicity and spark tons of idiotic debates where both sides wind up looking like tards.

Approximately 11% of the human population are flaming homosexuals, according to new research the animal kingdom exhibits roughly the same percentage of "same sex" couples.cieply said:
Also, by ignoring the homosexual insult another answer to your remark could be thus;
Silent Hill protagonist are hugely dysfunctional, and they are good games.cieply said:
You're right. Thinking now, I can't name a game (non-sandbox) where I played a homosexual character. But wait. I can't really name one where I was heterosexual... So... It could be that all the games I've ever played, the characters were homosexual!
1. Half-Life 2: Gordon Freeman, Ely Vance... The hints he makes about his daughter could be his way of showing Freeman his secret homosexual fantasies about him and his silky beard. Freeman, not knowing how to display his feelings and in fear of people finding out he talks in a lisp, never speaks for the whole game.
2. Bad Company 2: The squad is also a drag quartet that performs in clubs around America while they're on leave. The name "Bad Company" comes from them, because they're very bad girls.
3. Perfect Dark: Joanna Dark never succumbed to Carrington's advances. Plus, she has short hair and wears leather, so she must be a lesbian, right?
4. Bioshock: The protagonist follows whatever Atlas says, even though he only knows him by his gruff voice. Enamoured by this manly voice, our hero, Jack, does anything he can to unite with this man. The story of Bioshock was actually largely based on a story of two men who met up on one of those dating chatlines.
5. Braid: The princess you're saving? It's the guy at the end. But at the end, we find out that he's been seeing a woman all this time.
6. Portal: People like cake. Lesbians are people. Therefore, Lesbians Like Cake. Chell Likes Cake. Therefore, Chell is Lesbian.
See? There's many more examples, and these are but some of them. If you look hard enough, you'll find that most games actually have deaper meaning and homosexual characters. I developed this skill from high school English class, where every character was also deemed homosexual, especially in Shakespeare plays.

The reason there aren't as many homosexual acts in video games is a matter of protecting the company's ass. Alot of religions believe homosexuality is wrong (That is not me so don't flame me) so in order to avoid angering them, they stick to heterosexual relationships
You could be gay in DA:O, but honestly n most games unless you made the main guy dress/talk/announce loudly, that he is gay no one would notice or care unless a romance subplot was added in, and in 90% of games they seemed forced so it wouldn't be done right anyway. And how is it sickening that there isn't more of it in games, hell in all honestly unless you talking about Bioware or some of the FF titles most romances in games suck and are ignored anyway, so I fail to see the big deal.
I probably shouldn't have been laughing as hard as can after reading this, but it was funny as hellSturmdolch said:

OT: There is no need and if the person is gay it feels too forced for it to work often enough. Alot of video games are pitched towards the common sex, heterosexual(which is good because that means the species doesn't die) being that the case if you change that drastically things feel weird. Weird doesn't sell(well not the right legitimate, "Hey this game seems good...Hey it is good" as opposted to "Hey theres alot of media attention, lets buy this game!").
Exactly, somebody acting in a clear stereotype instead of being a, I don't know, actual person is only a comic relief. In a lot of games the sexual orientation may be asked once or not even once so why should we care? Either I have a gay man shooting people/aliens or a straight man shooting people/aliens.Willwillwritehiswill said:

And it's not like the media will tear them up, reanimate them, tear them, burn them, true resurect them, crusify them, burn them, use a wish spell to get them back up, rip them in half, and THEN discrace their completely destroied corpse.Mr Snuffles said:

Not a very good April fools joke really... I mean, this could have easily been a serious discussion if worded differently... Your only attempt at being funny was acting like an idiot, which isn't really funny.AWC Viper said:
I don't really think there was a need to call people names just because it was an April Fool's day joke.AWC Viper said:took you fuckers long enough, i'm not gay... it was an april fools thing, too bad i got probation for it...
