Agreed.NoMoreSanity said:He was pretty cool actually. Maybe not a good role model, but he was a cool character.Ace of Spades said:And Bernie from GTA IV.NoMoreSanity said:I'm a Maxisexual. But straight.
And most gays in games aren't really the best models for the people. (See most Japanese games)
I know he's ignorant.Lord Azrael said:I don't think that quote is valid, it marks him rather more as an ignoramous than as having a valid, balanced opinion. To be blunt - you can enjoy 'sucking dick' as much as 'munching rug'. Why don't you try it? Be more open minded.GonzoGamer said:A crossdresser doesn't (necessarily) suck dick, and therefore not gay. A bisexual does, and therefore should be considered gay, in a poll like this.
I qualify that by saying being open minded is not the same as being mindlessly open.
for the record, link is gay. I think the term is "in the closet".teisjm said:Thunder ryu from no more heroes is the only one i can think of.Lullabye said:name five gay game characters. I don't mean metro or flamboyant, i mean homosexual.teisjm said:I've got no idea about whether or not gay people are equally represented amongst gamers.
I think theres enough gay people/characters in games,just like I think theres enough straight people in games.
I couldn't care less whether the guy/girl i controll in the game likes guys or girls, as long as they like swords or guns or hurls fireballs or something.
My whole point was that i don't care whether the caracter is gay bi or straight, their sexuallity hardly ever has any effect on the game, so i'm indifferent.
Most of the games i've played, no more hereos aside, could possibly have been with gay caracters. But since their sexuallity wasn't ever a part of the game no-one will ever know for sure (rule 34 doesn't count)
Unless the caracter says/hints that he/she likes chicks/dudes, lost a wife/husband, or actually sleeps with someone, kisses them or whatever you cannot say they're straight or gay. For the sake of the game they're non-sexual.
Is link straight? is he gay? no-one knows cause all he cares about is swinging his awesome weapons around.
Same example applies to lots of other caracters in games.
Apparently, every single man or women considers being gay at some point in their lives.daviejjd said:Simple question, how many homosexual people play games, or at least are on the escapist, i'm just interested if there is a surprisingly high or low number.
Also, do you think there are enough gay people in games, or maybe they are not represented very fairly, such as ridiculous camp like in GTA4

I beg to differ that sexuality makes a difference in the game. Remember god of war? I can't say i would have enjoyed the sex mini game if i knew kratos was pounding guy. and then knowing that kratos was gay...well actually, now that i think about it, he's in the closet to. My point is that your going to have o get pas alot of stereotyping before (male)homosexual game characters stop being so damned....frilly is the only word i can think of right now. And I don't like frilly when playing games. I like destruction. The two rarely coincide, and even more rarely is it done in such a way as to make me want to play the game. on the other hand, a tough lesbian chick is okay with me. like samus. she was kick ass. damn you society for desensitizing me to your over appreciation for masculine qualities and alienation of feminine ones.
