How do we resolve the GAY PARADOX? >character doesn’t flirt with men or “act gay”, doesn’t discuss sexuality at all, literally never would've figured out if the game didn’t explicitly tell you, the character himself didn't tell you, lore outside the game didn’t tell you, or one of the devs didn’t tell you >Why is he gay then? Why isn’t he straight? What purpose does him being gay serve to the game or the story? This is forced diversity, you just made him gay for brownie points
>gay character flirts with other men, has a husband or love interest, is a romance option, struggles with discrimination, kisses other men, talks about other men like straight men talk about women, etc. >Wow stop shoving your gayness down my throat, this is forced diversity, good gay characters don’t go on and on about their sexuality
Devs go for the former option and Incels on social media stop caring about a video game character's sexuality.
Luis Lopez
people who argue like that are not rational thinkers and will never be satisfied so basically consume media you enjoy and let creators do what they want sink or swim
Justin Reyes
Did 76 ever flirt with the opposite sex or explicitly say he was straight? If not then why should he be?
Brayden Robinson
Go with mostly the first one, but mention in passing that they had/have a same-sex partner, just a throwaway line like "I dated a guy like that" or whatever.
Asher Diaz
Don't have faggots Problem solved
Julian Perez
Because straight is the default
Michael Ramirez
We're all gays now
Wyatt Miller
It doesn't matter because people will cry about it anyway because they just want attention.
William Robinson
This them leads to GAY DOUBLE STANDARDS >Straight men are allowed to flirt with girls, talk about girls, romance girls, talk about relationships, have sex with them, etc. without anyone criticizing their characters solely on the basis of how sexually explicit they are >Gay people are not allowed to do the above without being criticized as a "bad" gay character for doing what straight men do with girls, only with other men
Benjamin Perry
he has voice lines that imply he and ana fugged
Jace Carter
that's because being straight is normal, being gay is fucking weird
Gabriel Gonzalez
Both of those complaints stem from the same problem, which is a poorly told story.
Characters are not real people. They are part of a story. They SERVE the story. If a character's character isn't serving the story it needs to be fixed.
The problem with gay characters in most/all videogame media is that their homosexuality is incidental to the story. It's not about the portrayal of the homosexuality - straight acting gays and fag acting gays can both be great and appreciated characters - it is about the irrelevancy of the homosexuality.
Gay characters need gay stories.
>"but i want to play a war game not a fucking dating sim" Sure, but all good stories have subplots and all good stories are fundamentally about people, not events. A secret gay romance in the trenches of WW1 would not be everyone's cup of tea, obviously, but it could make a great story in its genre or a fantastic little subplot detour inside a story of another genre. Link it back to the main plot to enhance the themes of the game and away you go - it fits, the gay has a purpose, and everyone's happy.
Basically, videogame writers are fucking garbage.
Dylan Smith
Yea Forums just dislikes gay people but doesn't want to admit it
romance is something between 2 people. write 2 gay characters that are both likeable instead of just attaching a faceless partner to a gay dude.
Lincoln Evans
Overwatch would need an actual story to begin with.
Isaiah Bailey
It is though. I thought you fags always scream about heteronormativity being everywhere.
Lincoln Anderson
Just don't put gays in video games.
Levi Gonzalez
Homosexuality is natural, though. In that it literally happens in nature
Joseph Hughes
>default If we are going by raw numbers for the entire human race then "Chinese" is the default. Why aren't all non-Chinese characters criticized for not being Chinese, then?

so does murder, cannibalism, cancer, mental illnesses. doesn't mean it should keep happening.

Cameron Price
chief being gay is just a mutation. humans are just life that wants to breed, not fuck the same gender
Caleb Hernandez
the only gay that media knows how to represent is camp.
writers literally don't know how to conceive of a gay person without their sexual preference as being center to their identity. this is probably because many of the weird fuckers who failed serious literature enough to get into writing for video games are similarly skewed in how they present themselves -- they have nothing offer other than the performance of their personas, which is two-dimensional. So their characters are two dimensional.
Soldier 76's sexuality was never even a part of the conversation until it was made to be. Likely not unlike the identities of the audience/writers of that childish shitshow of a game.
Zachary Nguyen
chinks aren't people
Eli Williams
Now you are just being intentionally ignorant. You seriously can't handle the fact that being gay isn't normal? Fucking freak, hope your parents disowned you when they found out.
Ryder Roberts
So what's natural has nothing to do with what we should do. Which means that doesn't mean anything
David Peterson
What are you talking about Yea Forums its one of the gayest boards
Brandon Carter
Simple. Don't have fags in games.
Nobody likes fags, in fact it would be better if they stayed in the closet or died.
Oliver Wood
Ethnicity can be categorized in far more brackets then sexuality (unless you are a tumblrfag). You are either a couple hundreds ethnicities but you are only gay, straight or bi.
Jaxon Perez
How am I wrong? If real life was a video game there would be a far higher probability that you would spawn as Chinese than anyone else. Chinese is the closest thing we have to a "default"
Jayden Perry
>writers literally don't know how to conceive of a gay person without their sexual preference as being center to their identity Not that you're wrong, but, aren't they like that in real life? Every gay guy I've known has made their entire lives about it. Otherwise, they're in the closet.
Justin Flores
Sure, just because something is unnatural, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad or good. Homosexuality is still bad though, objectively. Sorry, but your argument falls apart here.
Ethan Flores
That's because some animals are too stupid to tell the difference between females and butts. I don't think that's a position you want to associate your mental illness with.
Jordan Rivera
Okay, then being a Chinese citizen/being born in China is the closest thing we have to a default. Why aren't video games with characters who immigrated from China or were born in China heavily criticized for deviating from the default?
Thomas Jenkins
Cope harder. Gays are an abnormality.
Tyler Parker
Why do you even care if a character is gay? Are you disappointed/excited that they aren't/are sexually compatible with you?
Luis Perez
The only people that matter are first world countries. Not chinks and not niggers.
Alexander Sanchez
Being white is the default in the USA where the game was made and where it is most popular.
Xavier Mitchell
>with characters *without characters
Daniel Price
By your logic we can say that being a microorganism is the default, since we are all organisms. "The human race" is a completely arbitrary concept that holds zero fucking weight.
Zachary Ortiz
Decent bait
Jason Murphy
It's almost like we shouldnt concern ourselves with the gender or sexual orientation of made up characters and focus on making a decent game.
Joseph Taylor
Why is homosexuality bad, then?
Cooper Barnes
>Every gay guy I've known has made their entire lives about it. Articulate exactly what you mean by this.
Jayden Green
Microorganisms are not humans, though. Most video games are made by humans for humans, and of all humans Chinese are the closest we have to a default.
Isaac Moore
spread of disease for starters
Chase Hill
It really doesn't matter at all and it's not expanded on in any way in the game so the fact that it's mentioned is so utterly pointless. Everyone knows that Blizzard just pulled a J.K Rowling and said he was gay for SJW brownie points.
Camden Jenkins
Every straight guy I've known has made their entire lives around it >dude did you bang that chick >dude I have a gf >dude I have a wife >dude this anime girl is hot It's the same shit only it's straight instead of gay
Angel Nguyen
>end up always being at least bi in new vegas because of the gay men killing perk >have not once cared
The truth of the matter is that being gay is okay under a lot of circumstances. Gay guys being bigtime mansluts is fine if it's in their character to have sex a lot or such and such.
To be honest i've never seen the later as a problem on a writing level, but if people get mad about it then who fucking cares. The first option is really bad and honestly kind of why I hate Overwatch >THIS MENTALLY ILL CHARACTER IS SOOOO CRAZY AND DOES ALL THESE MENTALLY ILL STEREOTYPES, HE HAS NO SHOES BECAUSE CRAZY PEOPLE DONT WEAR SHOES
Easton Robinson
>people who complained about muh statistics for a fucking battlefield game
Noone gave a shit about Americans running around with Chinese gear in previous games but suddenly everyone is a purist when there's a black guy.
Ian Bennett
Spread of disease is a result of not having protection. Homosexuals can wear protection and there is nothing inherent in homosexuality preventing them from doing so. Straight people who don't wear protection are equally immoral (and more common, so by that logic, being straight is objectively more evil than being gay)
Leo Ortiz
nah, not every gay guy has made their lives about it.
Think about when you were young (really young, like teenager), and you were just coming to terms with your identity. Chances are you were edgy and obnoxious to everyone but yourself. Like punk rockers or early 2000's GAMERZ or whatever.
Chances are a lot of the gay dudes you see or interact with are the most vocal because they're also the most insecure. My best friend is a gay dude and he's totally normal. His sexuality isn't his defining feature, because he's confident in his intelligence and insights enough to not have to be camp or whatever.
again, this type of character is written by people who are generally neurotic messes and who think that, just by being gay, this makes someone interesting or worthwhile. It's as silly as saying "soldier 76 has green eyes!", especially if recently green-eyed marketing has proven to be very lucrative.
No one cared to begin with, and it's very obvious that it's just pandering for headlines and hits or whatever
Noah Hughes
You're right. Better to have chinks than niggers frankly.
Joshua White
tpbp both are fine as long as the character is well written. it's only a problem when a character's sexuality is their only defining trait and is constantly referenced (pisses me off no matter the orientation, it's shallow and lazy writing). soldier 76 had a backstory and at least an attempt at characterisation before he was outed so I don't care. it doesn't affect my opinion either way.
Parker Williams
> Why aren't video games with characters who immigrated from China or were born in China heavily criticized for deviating from the default? Because games are heavily influenced by the creators cultural background and the audience they intend to capture. Most westerners do not tend to buy games that are not western.
Daniel Butler
From highschool experience: every class project, every art piece, or whatever, has to be about their gayness. their clothes, the people they talk to (all gays and catty bitches), the way they talk, the way they treat straight people, the way they seamlessly emulate every single gay trope they see on television, flanderizing themselves in real life. its all so tiresome. also, fuck grammar, good lucking reading this shit
Liam Davis
Only cringy spergs care about character backstory in a game like Overwatch where it has literally 0 impact on the game.
Luke Ramirez
They are closer to roaches than humans. I'm not sure what you're getting at, user.
Logan Williams
I think the real problem is attempts at normalization.
Adam Kelly
But you can have a western game with Chinese people in it, or with a Chinese American as the main character, or a Chinese immigrant/someone with Chinese heritage as the main character. So once again, why aren't the Chinese the default, and why aren't games that don't include the Chinese criticized for not being the default?
Jack Roberts
>You seriously can't handle the fact that being gay isn't normal? Fucking freak, hope your parents disowned you when they found out. Nobody here is normal. You think being on Yea Forums is "normal"? Doesn't half the population here complain about normalfags all the time?
Inbfucking4 with your >we, but I don't think it's a generalization to say that we value our individuality to the point where we'd shitpost on a Taiwanese puppetry board where we're allowed to say whatever we want because we'd get dunked on for not being normal if we were to say it IRL, or in other words, where we're not allowed to bee ourselves.
So what gives that you, a Yea Forums man and Yea Forumsirgin extraordinaire, have the gall to riff on people like gays for not being normal? Because the way I see it "normalcy" is just an cover-up for another reason for why you'd say dumb shit like this, unless Yea Forums is that far gone that browsing Yea Forums can actually be considered normal nowadays
spread of disease is still a result of homosexuality, user. perhaps the mental illness is driving them to do this, fucking up society for countless generations all they can get their dicks covered in shit.

Christian Moore
tl;dr angry little faggot. enjoy living ww
Noah Young
wrong characters and stories go hand in hand, making characters just to serve a story makes for dry characters that are defined by actions rather than actual character (western games tend to do this a lot - every bethesda game really) while making a story around characters lead to frivolous stories that don't go anywhere (the entire japanese light novel genre). The real solution to dry is to have the characters actually interact, and the solution to a frivolous story is to have that interaction be meaningful/thought provoking. To give an example - everyone would prefer to watch the TF2 meet the team videos over the overwatch character videos for entertainment, because when the characters interact with eachother in those videos, they apply their character. Even the very first one, with heavy monologuing, reveals something unique to heavy - you can tell he's boistrous, he's a simple guy, and he likes his weapon. Compare this to Widowmaker's scenes in the videos that feature her, which barely have any lines for her. She uses a zoomed in rifle, yet you don't really get into the way she reacts to everyday situations nearly the same way that you can from meet the sniper.
Logan Hill
But were all fags here. that doesn't make any sense user.
Adrian Young

Gabriel Brooks
Doesn't matter people will bitch regardless, especially the chans, try to tell your own story your own characters you like to make and make them good. That's all what matters
Noah Lewis
EZ, just stop putting gay people in your work. Paradox solved.
Nathaniel Campbell
>highschool experience Ah yes, I often judge entire groups of people based on teenagers.
Anyway, leaving that aside, it seems to me that you're ascribing gayness to nongay things. I don't see how clothes could be gay. They're fabric. You're the one calling them gay. Obviously if you decide to perceive everything that a gay person does as an expression of their gayness you will conclude that they spend all their time expressing their gayness. Maybe they are just wearing clothes.
Class projects, art pieces, other forms of actual self expression I'll give you.
>"but you can't just deny that there is a stereotypical camp gay" Sure, and I'm not. What I'm saying is that the stereotype exists because that's how gays behave, not that gays behave that way because the stereotype exists. They don't act gay. They act normal (for them), and you call it gay. Just like women don't decide to act like women, they just act normally and we call female normal womanly.
Christopher Miller
that too. I was speaking generally but you're right, it's a complete non-issue either way. I'd prefer fleshed out characters who happen to be gay than new characters who act completely hollow though any day. there's also the issue of straight people trying to write gay characters with no experience, so they're hamfisted and exaggerated instead of just being normal people with a different preference. it's like if every english character had to wear a monacle or every australian character had to wear one of those ridiculous cork hats.
Grayson Campbell
>spread of disease is still a result of homosexuality, user. perhaps the mental illness is driving them to do this, fucking up society for countless generations all they can get their dicks covered in shit. That sidestepping the question. Gays can use protection. There's nothing preventing them from doing so, nor is there anything preventing straight couples from doing it with or without protection and spreading the same diseases. So what gives? >perhaps the mental illness >perhaps You're basing your entire perspective off a hypothesis?
Ian Richardson
>But you can have a western game with Chinese people in it, Once again heavily influenced by their own culture. If you are a westerner chances are you and your audience don't care about chinese culture in a significant way so there is no real reason for your game to end up with chinese influence or people. Your game is very likely designed by a hetero white male to be played by a hetero white male and so the player avatar usually ends up being a hetero white male.
Jackson Ross
>How do we resolve the GAY PARADOX? By eradicating all the gays.
I dunno, why are you asking me? I'm asking you if the "default" is what we measure to determine what makes a character acceptable or not for a character to exist, then why don't we demonize every game that doesn't have a Chinese character?
Christian Johnson
>because being straight is the normal for most of the people here lmao So what, the driving force behind everyone here speaking out against guys is insecurity and fear?
Alexander Sanchez
>Not sure why you think a market that isn't primarily racially Asian would cast only Chinese people then where's the issue in blacks and gays appearing in games
Jose King
Okay, but that doesn't explain this at all. Why are gay people not allowed to do what straight people do without being criticized? Gay characters get criticized solely based on how sexually explicit they are while straight people aren't. If a game was made by a gay dev then would it suddenly be acceptable now?
Oliver Perez
It's disgust, not fear.
Bigotry is caused by the disgust reflex. That's why homophobes are always talking about how unnatural homosexuality is and honing in on the disgusting aspects of it like shitdick or incontinence or whatever.
The disgust reaction is an important one because it stops us from eating rotting food or drinking water that has animal shit in it - or spending time in infectious disease wards - but like all of our programming it can latch on to weird things.
Logan Perry
>all these posts by one guy trying to be pro-gay.
Aaron Morris
I love posts like this because I went through this phase as a kid and can tell from experience that on the surface the person wants everyone to think they're just being edgy and hardcore for the lulz but deep down they're insecure and frustrated and need an anonymous outlet to spout the bluntly-ignorant shit they want to say through their thinly-veiled jokes but don't have the balls to.
Ayden King
The issue is they just made him gay to tick that diversity checkbox. Shit like this has been happening alot in recent years and not just for gays but also for women and non-whites. Getting interesting non straight white male protags like Jade from Beyond Good and Evil is exceptionally rare because their personality traits come second to superficial identity qualifiers.
Benjamin White
the thing that makes soldier being gay suck is the fact that theres no character development regards to it. it is basically a story twist in his character arc and observers generally hate twists if there is 0 foreshadowing. take mass effect 1 for example. play the game with gay romance with kaidan. it isnt just instant faggotry but instead theres hours of exploration of character and interaction that seve as a foundation for a romance.
Robert Carter

Ethan Gray

Cameron Brown
You're being intentionally retarded, people by different races are separated by borders and countries. The "default" of a race in a story usually depends on where the story is made. In sexuality most characters are by default straight and heterosexual because most people on the entire plant are straight and heterosexual, anything other than that is different or an abnormality, you're issue is the that you see different and abnormal as something negative when in the context of most of the world being a homosexual is exactly that, it is 'other', 'different' and by no means the default. This is just fact and no manner of kicking and screaming changes that or the perspective of the entire world. You should've realized by now in your adult life that the realities and truth of this world are not fair or equal.
Michael Moore
I would not say that gay people can't express flirty behavior at all at games but if I look back they seem less expressive. I would say the average straight person is not all that into having a gay men expressing their sexuality in front of them. Some of it cultural stigma the other part is, it is just bad optics (for straights) nobody really is interested and wants to see that except in games that focus on sexuality (introspective indies and eroge).
Robert Allen
is this bait? chinese movies and tv shows feature chinese people pretty much exclusively
Bentley Davis
What's the deal with "black people", anyway? They're not black; they are not people.
Kevin Ortiz
>The issue is they just made him gay to tick that diversity checkbox But the issue is that any time a gay guy shows up at all they are perceived of "ticking the diversity checkbox". Hence the gay paradox. In reality most people who say this are actually homophobes trying to convince people they aren't homophobes and come up with pitiful excuses for it that make little sense if you think about it long enough (like "good gay characters don't shove your gayness down your throat")
Nicholas Hernandez
By talking about video games instead
Noah Moore
holy shit you're not only gay, but also retarded. tough luck there
Joshua White
your first situation is indeed tokenism for brownie points your second situation is indeed shoving down the throat gayness Both are stupid; try harder and make better gay characters.
Easton Cruz
The default in the Western world is straight and white though so it stands to reason that most content should cast straight and white people. Every country in the world produces media that consists of primarily of the majority demographic. Not sure why you think the West has to be different.
Jeremiah Adams
So if a game was made by a gay guy, and that game included a gay character, then said character can be as explicit as the dev wants since that is the "default" to him and his subculture? That sounds like identity politics to me, desu (you can't make a game around x without being a member of it)
If the answer is no, then why is heterosexuality/homosexuality judged as normal or not on the basis of humanity and the world as a whole, but ethnicity (being Chinese) is not?
Angel Perez
My take on it is that if it has some sort of impact onto the character and isn't slapped onto an existing character/his entire personality I can live with it.
Like being Gay will inform a part of your personality, but it shouldn't be what your personality revolves around. Soldier 76 is a good example of them slapping the gay shit onto him for brownie points instead of building a character from the ground up to have something to do with homosexuality. Then again, this is a rooty tooty shooter where two shitposters from Australia can stand up to both a global hero organization and a global terrorist organization, so what did I expect?
Jordan Hernandez
if we're sharing anecdotes, I thought I had a perfect gaydar until my brother came out of the closet who I never remotely considered to appear gay, whereas his gay friend had that stereotypical gay lisp and style of dressing-up.
>it's just our biological need is to breed and keep our species afloat And we're already massively overpopulated. Gays can adopt the surplus children or have a child artificially inseminated through a carrier parent. Society is coming past the point where reproduction is essential because we're running out of resources and space to carry additional children, hence the societal requirement of being straight also weakens as a result.
Angel Clark
I mean yeah, it's shallow and probably offensive to pull tricks like Blizzard did, but at the same time I don't care too much since it doesn't affect the game in any way and they didn't suddenly do a 180 on his personality or actions. Maybe some people having a rough time get a kick out of it and it helps them, I don't know, but I find it hard to sympathise with people who immediately hate any semblance of homosexuality at the cost of a game they might otherwise enjoy (even if it's only referenced briefly in external material and has no bearing on the game). It's lazy for sure, and definitely not ideal, but it doesn't change much either way so eh.
Cooper Sanchez
So by that logic then we should criticize every game that doesn't include a straight or white character since they are not the "default". That sounds like identity politics to me, desu
Nathan Collins
>where two shitposters from Australia can stand up to both a global hero organization and a global terrorist organization, so what did I expect? To be fair, it only took one to fuck over New Zealand's entire government so I wouldn't count out the power of the shitposter.
John Hall
>This is just fact and no manner of kicking and screaming changes that or the perspective of the entire world. You should've realized by now in your adult life that the realities and truth of this world are not fair or equal. And the 'default' is changing as it always has, because we sure as fuck aren't still being portrayed by ancient Greeks and Romans. I hate to say this, but get with the times.
Joshua Morales
Except you brought up the china population number. Most other countries have the problem of using too many resources beyond their needs, but most asian countries legitimately have an over population problem but it isn't because they are straight. If that was the case, Japanese birth rates wouldn't be falling dramatically. It's a deeper societal issue that goes beyond the ratio of benis in bagina to benis in ass.
Carson Flores
Not that user but the "Default" isn't changing. It's cyclic but no matter how many cycles we run through, straight will always be the default. You can try and argue otherwise but the entirety of human history disagrees with you.
Aiden Cooper

Homosexuality is perfectly normal. In any population of 100 people you would expect to find one or two homos. If there were no homos in a population of 100 people that would be abnormal.

Nothing you can do about it. Having a gay character looks like pandering in the current year because of modern left wing identity politics being shoved down our throats.
You can thank left wing politicans, universities, and (((journalism))) for that.
Michael Martin
It was heavily implied 76 was Phara's father, Ana being the mother (lots of talking between them, even the sprays matched). But now it's just some random native American dude for brownie points and now he's gay to hide that guy that pretended to be a girl to go pro easily.
Leo Cook
Ackshyoually that's not true. The western world has a lot of immigrants and people of different ethnic groups now. If you really wanted to do the "right" thing then you would look at the percentage of every single minority group then through a command economy force game developers to include certain characters of certain ethnicities so there is a perfect proportion of each minority to be represented form each country. Since ethnic group percentages change every year you would also have to account for that too (i.e America is 53% white, 36% mestizo, 6%, mixed, etc so you would have to make sure that 53% of all games in 2019 America have a white protagonist, 36% have a meztiso protagonist, and so on. You would also have to ensure the number of NPCs fit that too)
Of course this is fucking retarded because no one makes art (or anything) with this mindset. People make art either as an expression of their own personal experiences, or out of a personal desire influenced from their personal experiences, not as a history documentary for the ethnic makeup of a country. So this argument is retarded, if a dev wants to make a gay character flamboyant or not then it shouldn't matter.
Blake Reyes
I'd have no interest in Overwatch either way. At the end of the day the JK Rowling tier gaywashing means nothing to me. I just think it's absurd and poking fun at it is entertaining.

Sebastian Kelly
In a population where people worship materialism and other things sure. In a natural environment where the people live in ppeace with the land and monetary affairs are usually not the most important (such as Anglo-Saxon England in certain areas) you will find people were not as mentally ill and the population of homosexuals is just about 0%.

Bullshit lore written for a comic no one reads is not important to the game Basically just follow the example netherrealms made for Kung Jin. Since his entire character is about "feeling accepted", then the fact that he is gay is actually important to his character because it causes him to doubt whether he can truly be accepted, and it is implied in a way that allows the player to draw their own conclusion.

>except for that period in antiquity when it was considered commonplace in Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, and when Sengoku-era Japanese lords had shota fuckbuddies See, I saw this coming and I know you're just ignoring the other parts of the empires in which this shit isn't common to suit your own purpose. People only remember the shit from the decline of the respective empires and use that as "There was gay shit happening then too" without understanding the context and length of time for which it was happening.
Nicholas Turner
That's just people being homophibic but not having the guts to admit it.
Ethan Ross
Even sheep and goats have a roughly equivalent rate of homosexuality to humans, around 10%.
Julian Murphy
False. The amount of greek homosexuals was about the same as tosay in terms of percent of population. There were literally laws from Athens made to prevent homosexual men from being around schoolboys because they knew gays were more likely to be pedophiles. Stop acting like Greece was some pride parade every day faggot paradise, they barely tolerated gays as is.
Grayson Cruz
The Ancient Greeks and the Romans defined the Western world
Whether you like it or not it was seen as normal to fuck the boipucci in the western world
Animals are gay in the same way a sex addicts will try fuck anything with a hole.
Noah Wood
While being gay might be a default to him its not the default to the world and humanity itself, you're issue seems to be that you are very self-centered and have no mind to the world around you. In terms of race the only apt comparison would be mixed-race people as they aren't always considered normal but race and sexuality shouldn't be compared, the population can increase in mixed-race people and than shift what is seen as default, but sexuality is something that can't/or shouldn't be shifted like that, if their were an incredible increase and uprising in homosexuality planet wide- that would actually be of grave concern since people would not reproduce and it will send humanity to chaos and extinction. If you are a homosexual you have to think of broader sense of scale you're interpreting humanity-wise. You will never be default but thats alright, somethings we can't change about ourselves but we learn to live with it. To be alive is to suffer is a mantra shared by many people of races and backgrounds
Caleb Ortiz
Only rich and powerful greeks engaged in pedo shit with young boys, the Romans didn't do it nearly as much at all.
In any case how is pedo shit acceptable because a small minority of ancient people engaged in that practice?
William Foster
What a fucking terrible character model, did they let someone who knows fuck all about anatomy design this?
Julian Perry
The Ancient Greeks/Romans also hated homosexuals until the decline, what is your point? Or are you implying that homosexuality is mimetic? Because we can agree on that point.
Andrew Campbell
Who gives a shit about overwatch Stop posting and also fuck blizzard
Robert Roberts
No there weren't, Plato's Dialogues even point out how fucking frequently it was. All of the philosophers always had a boytoy with them. There is literally an entire dialogue dedicated to Socrates having a raging hardon for a young boy, there's another dialogue where he tries to give advice to a boy to seduce another boy. And there's also generals like Aristides and Themistocles who fought eachover over the boipucci.
The Greeks just fucking loved boipucci user, sorry.
Lol way to prove that homosexual rights was just a stepping stone to instituting pedo rights. You faggots really are prone to kid diddling huh.
Grayson Robinson
What is it about homosexuality that causes some people to sperg out so much?

If you believe it or not, most gay people don't even mention that they are unless they have to.
With that being said, nobody ever really cared if Soldier is Hetero or Homo. They just wanted some PR for their dying game.
Benjamin Cruz
Homosexuals who were born too late to join the civil rights movement for gays are upset that people for the most part don't care if they're gay so they push and push until they get pushed back. It's validation which goes contrary to the logical goal of acceptance.
Connor Kelly
This. Of course any attempt to criticize the obvious virtue signalling PR move is labelled as homophobic.

If a character can only be gay for a "reason", then you do actually mind.
Justin Russell
I can write you a gay story for your gay character, but if it's just the gay guy having a monologue it hardly matters. Even having the gay guy talk to the audience as opposed to talking to himself helps plenty. Rather, let's take a look at something like borderlands: >crazy helmet dude comes on screen, crazy helmet dude acts mad max, crazy helmet dude gets shot/killed vs >Nellis airbase is practically a pre-war weaponry cult founded by vault dwellers who seeked protection from post apocalyptic threats. Due to its proximity to New Vegas and the hoover dam, it was caught in the conflict between NCR, the legion and the machinations of Mr. House. To bolster their defenses, they ask the courier to raise a pre-war bomber from the nearby lake. None of the details in the nellis story need to be plot. They could just as well be backstory and it'd still add character if you give the time and attention it deserves, where as the borderland short showcases make for a shallow character as expected from a fodder enemy. Cont'd

Ian Sanchez
>Literally never happen, the post.
The real paradoxical thing is, Is being gay normal? Because some fags want it to be both normal and special.
They are in real life, it is just that game writers congregate in shitholes like California which try to enforce the "camp" stereotypes onto every gay male
Xavier Martinez
I reiterate thats its okay to not be seen as a default, it may be accepted and less stigmatized within time but its still an 'other' and most likely will always be an 'other' from the default. The sooner you learn to live with the fact and think of the perspective of the world around you the better it is for the self. Take solace in community but be mindful of the greater community of the world.
Jacob Sullivan
It's just like that "Super Fun Time" South Park episode with lefties: never break character (narrative).
Kayden Martin
Read Phaedrus, Charmides, Symposium, Lysis, and Phaedo and be amazed at how addicted the Greeks were to the boipucci
Connor Adams
We solve it when we stop pretending being gay isn't going against nature and we treat it as the mental disease it is.
It has no place in any media because it is not something that should persist, it's a genetic failure and should be treated as such.
Kayden Williams
Cont'd In the same sense, I can have the gay guy come on, participate in a gay story by himself (soldat 76 is chasing after a doctor who took his blood sample only to find out that he got aids from fucking reaper!), but it would just be dry wood on top of cold rocks. We probably don't get much from a doctor that we know nothing about. Chasing reaper itself implies there's not much actual interaction with reaper. It's so dry it might as well just be plot. On the other hand, if I have the characters interact as a part of the story (soldat76 is in a dental office when roadhog comes in, and the two are stuck together for 5 mins. soldat76 notices that roadhog's hook was made of fangs today, and asks roadhog where he got the teeth. Roadhog answers he buys them from the dentist, and that he thought that the dentist was collecting the teeth from their battles. Soldat76 asks roadhog whether he meant a tooth fairy, and roadhog says that the only fairy he sees prancing around has red goggles and a rocket launcher under his gun, to which soldier 76 replies "I never carry my gun when I dress up like a fairy".), and that suddenly reveals that roadhog has a sense of humor and soldier76 is secure about dressing up like a fairy, which is pretty gay.
Luis Lopez
>Because some fags want it to be both normal and special. That's the true gay paradox right there. Either you get accepted for being gay as normal or it's something important to your identity that should be treated as special.

Juan Wilson
We invented towns and cities in a state of nature, does that make them natural? No, just because it exists in nature does not make it natural as what is natural is subjective for each species on the planet. Homosexuality can be natural to animals like giraffes who have an 80% ish rate to be homosexual, whereas other animals like Elephants will rarely or never disay traits of homosexuality, since homosexuality is not natural to elephents. Also I just wanted to mention the stonewall bar was home to many men who wanted to have sex with underage boys.
Xavier Williams
Something being uncommon doesn't mean it's not normal.
Nicholas Young
Its proven in experiments like the case of the mouse utopia that it is uniquely a case where overpopulation and lack of female mates leads to weak submissive males to become faggots and present themselves to other faggots of slightly higher caliber. Makes sense right? faggotry is so rampant nowadays because there's way too many people on earth, today we have two countries that house over a billion humans and that's fucking insane.
>There's more homosexuals because there's more people.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Josiah Wilson
The only honest answer and the only one that is needed. I'm not oblidged to like anybody, if I hate faggots in life and in vidya I don't have to justify it in any other way.
Alexander Thomas
The stonewall barn was home to groups of drags queens and chicken hawks, usually rich dudes wanting to have sex with underage boys. aim.org/aim-column/stonewall-is-not-selma/ This is even talked about in the Stonewall book by Martin Duberman, who is pro-LGBT on the matter.
Noah Thomas
gay people are annoying
Dominic Robinson
>why are gays trying to pass themselves off as normal? Because its hard to seriously care about the other's sexual preferences, whether one likes men or Asian women is all the same to me. But it's doubly baffling why you'd feel the need to go out of your way to say being gay isn't normal to the point where you wouldn't want to allow gays "being gay" in public just because it disgusts others. And against that silliness is what people are speaking up against, because they also fear having their invididuality being restricted by moral puritanism and social conformism if they allow the same for gays to happen. How did that rhyme go again? >First they came for the gays, but I did not speak out. >Then they came for people with yellow fever, but I did not speak out. >And when they came for me...
Being gay is not normal, but then most of us aren't because being normal is being boring. Sort of like why everyone's fetishes tend to veer off from vanilla, men are hard-wired to have variety in their sexuality. Admittedly gayness is a fetish in itself, because it's hard to start a gay romance if men don't make your dick go hard. Otherwise you just remain friends.
Gays want to be accepted into the status quo so they don't have to closet themselves all the time and pretend to be something they're not, which I think most people here can relate to with regards to being able to speak your mind on everything

All Might is technically the best gay vidya character since Boku no hero has a game.
Thomas Garcia
Kill yourself faggot, that's the single and only way you will ever contribute to humanity.
Alright buddy, I'm even worse than a faggot, I'm, may Allah forgive me for uttering this word, a foot fetishist. Do you see me parading on the streets naked and demanding that every single movie and game in existence had a foot fetishist character in it, always portrayed in purely positive light? No? Than what's the fucking difference? What makes you faggots think anyone should give a shit about your bed kinks? Does liking dicks make you so special and wondeful you just have to be represented in every piece of media ever made?
Caleb Sanders
why do gays constantly bitch about everything? companies are free to make a gay character thats 'balanced' or whatever it is the op is looking for . i just wont buy it. even if its optional but i can see numerous parts where gay dialouge options werent selectable because im straight. this doesnt mean i hate faggots... more than anyone else. it means that im not going to play gay games. and if you want a game like that start a gay dev studio and make gay games or 'normal' games with gays done right in your eyes.
videogames are a business and i promise you if faggotry becomes in demand all the games will have it prominentlyand not just token.but it isnt in demand and yes ive actually not bought games heavily influenced by sjw or gays.i dont like their ideas and im sick of fucken hearing about them so i reduce where i can. so stfu and deal with it you retarded fag.
Josiah Reed
You can't start a relationship with a fetish at its center (or at least not one that isn't doomed to fail) because men usually get tired of the same fetishes, hence there isn't much point to protesting for footfag accepance.
While I did say before that liking men is a fetish in the same way that vanilla is a fetish, in a homosexual relationship the bond that ties you and your partner isn't the fetish you share, but simply put the love for eachother as a person, much like a standard heterosexual relationship, only both of you happen to be the same gender. Like, it isn't really useful to say that 90% of the population has a fetish for heterosexuality. but it's the stem from which all other fetishes branch out.
When both homosexual and heterosexual love are founded on love and respect for their partner, there isn't much rational ground to then arbitrarily oppose homosexual love on arguments that don't border on traditionalism/religious fundamentalism. It's not like incest where it's banned on grounds of health concerns, gay sex is perfectly safe provided protection and sanitary measures are applied, much like straight sex.
Even if you believe for whatever reason that it's our purpose in life to procreate, gay couples are no less capable of adopting and raising surplus orphan children, as procreation loses its meaning when there is nobody to raise the child.
Elijah Morgan
>Than what's the fucking difference? Literally no-one cares about your foot fetish is.
Jace Murphy
You are making an argument why faggotry should be accepted IRL. It already is, in absolute majority of countries that matter, having gay sex isn't a crime anymore. Nobody cares what you do in bed, even if you suck dicks. Being accepted isn't the same as being celebrated. Why does everyone has to LOOK at you being gay? Why do movies and games have to feature gays and NEVER say anything bad about them? You don't demand equality, you demand special treatment.
Ryder Wilson
>It's not like incest where it's banned on grounds of health concerns Hypocrisy at its finest. Incest has no detrimental effect on participants as long as they don't have children. And even when they do, it merely increases the risks, not guarantees that a child will be disadvantaged. You don't believe we should forbid mentally ill and disabled to procreate just because that raises the risk of children inheriting their defects, do you? That would be eugenics.
Levi Johnson
gay men are fine and fags are cancer but worst of all is them being included because of political aspirations
Joseph Rodriguez

Henry Evans
For as long as gay people feel threatened enough to hide the truth from others there is still a reason to make noise.
Asher Cook
First of all, that isn't a paradox, you idiot. Secondly, nobody outside of /pol/ complains about gay characters being gay. Go back to your echo chamber.
Caleb Murphy
Oh, so everyone has to give you special favours and boons until YOU decide you don't feel threatened anymore? You couldn't come off as more entitled if you tried.
Juan Stewart
What?
I am talking about things like kids getting kicked out of their homes for being gay. Yeah?
Joseph Roberts
>You are making an argument why faggotry should be accepted IRL. It already is, in absolute majority of countries that matter, having gay sex isn't a crime anymore It's "accepted" in society in the same way that blacks and women were "accepted" in society right after their respective civil rights movements when the government made it illegal to be outspokenly racist/sexist. Or in other words, only on the surface.
Nowadays most people don't think twice about women or blacks in the workplace (though that's still up for debate), but the presence of gays in society is still in that phase where people are awkwardly shuffling around the fact by making a big deal out of it in both ways by trying to be irregularly supportive of gay people or bringing it up as if it's something to be pointed out, whereas ideally you'd want to get to that point where you wouldn't think twice about whether your co-worker is gay, the same way you wouldn't dwell on anyone being into girls when they're talking about that chick they tried to woo in the bar or when they're talking about their wife cooking like shit.
It's true that some like to wear their gayness as a badge of identity, but paradoxically the longer they do it and the more gays get accepted the less value that will have, and they'll stop doing that shit out of embarassment when being gay stops being cool, in the same way that advocating for straight pride parades makes you look like a dunce. The silent majority doesn't even want to be celebrated, but it's a side-effect from having to make some noise for any change to be made at all and guaizuo (or whatever the more apt Chinese term for SJW was) being virtue signalling wastes of space who make gays look like even greater faggits that makes people like you want to speak out against them.
Justin Scott
There is no paradox you fucking autist. There is absolutely no conceivable reason to tell me your video game character is gay unless im playing a porn game. I don't need to know if the character in my first person shoot game takes fists up his ass or likes frilly dresses and heels. That is completely and absolutely pointless. Sexuality is not personality.
Robert Reed
If you think shitty parents will stop abusing their children just because gay characters are common in pop culture, you are fucking mental. They don't kick children out because of their gayness, that's merely an excuse, and they will have no trouble finding another ten.

If you have obnoxious characters, I won't buy your game. If you add the deviant character trait after the fact, I simply won't play your game anymore. Don't want gays in my video games, so it's not hard to understand.
Dominic Cook
Oh. It is just a simple truth that kids are kicked out of their homes for being gay all the time. You can search for it if you like to see individuals stories on forums and such.
Isaiah Lewis
Arcade Gannon was subtle enough about being gay without outright saying it, primarily because being gay wasn't his defining character trait nor was it relevant to the character or his story, which was being torn between following in his father's footsteps (Enclave) or making his own way in life (followers). In Veronica's case it only comes up when you specifically ask her about her love life. I'd even argue Dorian from dragon age is a good one since it is relevant (Tevinter is all about bloodlines so while guys can fuck one another they can't marry or be in serious relationships with each other) and Dorian is a full on fag and doesn't want to go into a arranged marriage with a chick, which is where the conflict from him and his dad stems from since he isn't gonna get grandkids anytime soon.

It would have saved you some time too. It's not like I haven't been called a faggot in this thread already, so I'd figure you would at least try to be more creative in that regard at least.
Like, I figure you consider yourself better than those YouTube critics who make endless copypaste reviews about The Last Jedi, so I don't know why a copypaste response is what you would decide to reply with.
Jackson Watson
dont put gays in videogames
Thomas Gonzalez
Just because tumblr told you it's normal doesnt mean it is. You can try to change the "default" all you want but you might as well be yelling into the void. People dont want what's normal to change. And being gay may be socially accepted more than it has in the past, but it still isnt "default". Also >get with the times Enjoy trump 2020
Sebastian Gomez
theres no paradox, some people just hate gays
Justin Watson
Pretty easily fixable, "the entire world isn't California, the chances gays are this common is not only impossible it's an outright lie."
Done, you get 0 to 1 gays per game, that's it. Problem solved.

Carter Martin
Because 99% of gay characters are written as lisping bottoms and no one wants to hear that. Bottoms should be seen and not heard.
Austin Barnes
I'm sorry the entire world is not in the bubble you've been living in your whole life. Some people are shitty. Nothing you can change about that.
David Hughes
Gay dudes seem pretty chill atleast anecdotally, Dykes though need some heavy HEAVY fixing before we allow them into society. I can't think of a group of freaks more hateful then these things, they put Incels to shame in their constant hate spewing. I remember thinking for some years that maybe I was too harsh on homos, but it was apparently just gay men, dykes have about 30 years of rehabilitation before they're ever ready to be accepted.
>People dont want what's normal to change. Further it simply can not. All you're making people do is repeat a lie when you tell them something rare and sometimes pathological is commonplace and healthy.
Ethan Young
We just have to eradicate those who are too sensitive to live and let live.

The only good gay character I've ever seen in a video game where it didnt feel forced was the ballad of gay Tony. Over the top, flawed and had real issues
Angel Ross
Lesbians are just women who don't censor themselves. Of course they're horrible people.
Jeremiah Fisher
Basically this, since it works both ways, if you don't wanna have gay people or trans people in your game, don't add them what so ever, they can cry about no diveristy all they want, ignore them and do what you prefer.
Levi Hernandez
No sexual orientation in this world is the "default".
Carson Perez
What those two said and also Yea Forums admits disliking them openly, what are you talking about?
John Rodriguez
people just dont like faggots how hard is that to understand?
Leo Robinson
It's mostly a California problem, notice how it's only games released in LA that have this problem with unnatural diversity. Cyberpunk is a great example of confusing them, it has diversity but doesn't shit all over white men and it confuses the Calidrones because they're used to their bubble.
Samuel Wright
Sorry bill nye, real science called and it says dick goes in vagina for babies.
Brayden Green
>No sexual orientation in this world is the "default" Yet whenever you see a game that doesn't mention orientations of its characters you complain about lack of diversity because you automatically asume they are all straight. Isn't that ironic?
Carson Murphy
Pretty much this, there is never going to be a time where you see two fags and don't double take because your natural biological reaction will be to react in confusion.
Bentley Wilson
Well so does child murder and even rape. It's in nature does not instantly make something good. At least not for some one who blindly accepts nature as pure white good. Instead of separating right and wrong and forming a morality, one preferably based on logic and reason.
Eli Mitchell
of course there is you dumb fucking retard
Logan Anderson
All these salty homos being butt hurt by the truth. Straight IS the default, it is what creates new life. Being gay serves no natural purpose.
Owen Flores
You dont know any straight men then or you are underageb&. Sex is not part of your personality when you are a functioning adult. Your actions, deeds, and hobbies are who you are.
Kevin Howard
He said it's weird not unnatural. If we're speaking stastistically and as to what the main function of intercourse is, yes you could very well say it's sub optimal, "weird", can cause issues for the person who is this, that being straight probably wouldn't cause at least on average. Please note that I'm talking about homosexuality as a thing, not about homosexuals, the people who are affected by it/have it/obtained it through genes/childhood trauma or what ever other theory might be out there about what determins sexuality. If they indeed can't change it and are born with it as the theory, that seems to be the most popular or at least the most wide spread suggests, then you being upset about them being gay is like you being upset at a blind person for being born blind. Not fair, reasonable or acceptable.
I'm convinced people like you are literal basement dwellers. I'm a faggot and people have been nothing but nice to me IRL.
John Rivera
people hide their disgust because openly hating faggots gets you into trouble. thats why you see people speak up online. they show you what they actually think.

Connor Foster
Technically impossible, they've been around since ye old rome, and gay people aren't exactly known for their reproduction ability. Thus we can conclude that "killing all gay people" which is a barbaric concept to begin with for dealing with what you see as an issue, wouldn't work regrardless, gay people are born/made (still not crystal clear) regardless if the gay people alive reproduce or not. This means you could still end up having to kill your kids for being gay one day, even if you "killed all the gay people" before they were born.
Caleb Anderson
Gays are a choice unless you were abused which most were. In which its still a choice, except the choice is to get help or not.
Dominic Bailey
Again, you're exposing your lack of social interaction. The people you see on Yea Forums represent - at best - a TINY fringe minority of society comprised primarily of legitimately mentally ill people. You'd know this if you'd ever had any contact with the outside world.
Christian Taylor
You are so fucking deluded. Think about the context you moron. And no matter what, a straight person's brain isn't wired to see what you do and not be revolted on some level. Unless its a man looking at lesbians.
Jaxson Scott
who's talking about Yea Forums? faggots are hated everywhere online. you can also shove your baseless accusations up your ass.
Adam Carter
Are you speaking from personal experience, do you consider your self capable of having no interest in women and instead finding men sexually appealing at the snap of a finger? Or vice versa of course.
Thomas Sullivan
Question, how do you know this/how does he know this, if you can't mind read every person you meat, do decide if on average, gay people are looked at with disgust/tolerance on the inside as well as the outside.
Cameron Gutierrez
There is always a remedy for the malfunctioning mind. And if there isn't, that doesn't excuse you to act on your urges on a moral level. The same way porn addiction should be looked down upon, so is homosexuality.
Ayden Wood
>a straight person's brain isn't wired to see what you do and not be revolted on some level. You see, the crucial difference between you and a normal person is that a normal person understands everyone is not the same as he is and puts aside whatever occasional disgust he might feel in the rare instances the he's directly confronted with two men kissing in the interest of being understanding and decent.
When I was little the first time I saw two men kissing on tv I thought they were pathetic losers who couldnt get girls and had to resort to kissing eachother. Being disgusted by homosexuality and just "putting up with it" isn't a virtue to brag about
Noah Martin
Faggots are like 3% of world population. Homosexual characters and especially homosexual romances are repulsive for a huge mass of people. Either don't include them into the games whatsoever, make games specifically targeted for faggots and fujos or write them cleverly, like Ryo from Devilman whose homosexual crush on MC was one of the main points of narrative without coming out as preachy or just thrown in for brownie points.
Ryder Jones
There is no difference. Me and that man are the same person. At the end the day we still find it disgusting, and I find it immoral. You think because attentinwhore gay peresonalities attract positive supporters and attitudes that you arent being judged. You are, especially for your beta looks, demeanor and cringey generic lookatme voice
Anthony Morales
There's this thing called friendship wherein, overtime, people open up to you and reveal their personal feelings. There's also the fact that gay people don't immediately announce they're gay and are often exposed to what straight people really think about gays thinking their company to be entirely straight.
Jonathan Hall
>and I find it immoral This is where you deviate from that hypothetical person you moron.
>You think because attentinwhore gay peresonalities attract positive supporters and attitudes that you arent being judged. I never said this?
>You are, especially for your beta looks, demeanor and cringey generic lookatme voice I suspect you're projecting.
Blake Nelson
That didn't answer my question, and thus have not explained WHY being gay is a choice. You're either being a troll, are avoiding the question because you have no wait to maintain your prefered narative or need to make a case using logic and reason for your theory so I can actually understand why you think this.
Nicholas Evans
So you are saying we should shoehorn gay characters into every game because 5% of players that are gay will be happy, and the other 95% will put aside their disgust to be understanding and decent?
Colton Sullivan
Being gay is just nature taking it's course to remove your genes from the gene pool. It's rough but you guys need to take one for the team.

Find the exact point where I said any of that. Thanks for illustrating the /pol/tard's innate need to strawman though.
Joseph Sanders
>this thread again I replied to this earnestly yesterday thinking it wasn't a template thread. also the thread was 90% cave dwellers repeating "fags bad" so I'm not sure why you would want to make it again
anyway, we concluded that Arcade is a good character whose gayness is only somewhat informative to his character and role in the story, that Florian Cravic, despite having less dialogue, is a better example of a gay character whose sexuality is directly relevant to the plot and themes of the game, and that the real underlying issue is that 90% of vidya characters are written like shit anyway and thus there are very few interesting gay characters in vidya
The sexuality of the character shouldn't be important.
Focusing on such superficial things is lazy.
Chase Wilson
The reality is that the only people who want to see gay shit in games are white people and whitewashed Asians/spics. Hence why you pretty much never see any gay characters in 99% of Asian, African (lol), or ME games.
William Flores
Not the person you were arguing with, but your presumption that normal people simply "put aside their disgust and deal with it" absolutely comes with consequences. You fucking faggots want your cake and to eat it to. First it was just about being "accepting," now you want fucking representation in god damn everything. Fuck off

If NV was released today you bet your ass nu/v/ would be throwing a fit over gay SJW bullshit. the only reason NV got away with it was because it was pre-2014 GG and election era before all the /pol/ kiddies migrated here in droves

Evan Howard
you're absolutely right. if arcade ganon happened today there'd be twitter screencaps from random literal whos and devs nonstop about it. people give S76 flack for being "shoved down throat obvious" when within the context of the story is was subtle and meaningful. I have no doubts people would find a way to accuse NV approach as forced propaganda
That's an idea, one that doesn't sound very consistent considering I've met both gay men and women and that almsot NEVER was the case. It's normally one of the first things that gets thrown out, like a week of interaction at most.
Jordan Brown

Hunter Kelly
>have you considered the ones who werent just never said anything?
hahahahahaha you're acting like gay men can blend in.
I worked at a liquor store in college and one of my coworkers was a militant bull dyke.. unshaven legs and armpit hair and all that. She would spend all day shit talking men, get drunk and get in a fight with her gf, try making out with a dude only to get a hard deny, and the process just kept repeating itself
Carson Kelly
I'm so exhausted from getting angry at the person who keeps making these threads. I just can't be bothered anymore...

Wtf? Your post is weirdly hostile. It is the default. No big deal, no ebin alt right posting. It's just obvious you would assume 76 was straight because basically every guy you meet is.

its the same logic how some guys would never wanted to be fucked by a man but wouldnt mind being fucked by a futa (dick girl) if she was real (not counting trans, just purely the fictional type). sometimes people just dont like the body/physique

Simple, avoid romantic subplots and leave it obscure. If people inquire about a character's sexuality, reply with "I don't know, thats up to them."
Matthew Phillips
>We call those men homosexuals, user. Futafags can try spin it however they want but they're fucking something with a dick With that logic a gay guy is straight for fucking this.
Is a straight guy letting that fuck him in the ass with a strapon? Because last I checked, you said "getting fucked by futas" which means getting fucked in the ass by a dick.
Christian Russell
Thats retarded. >Now video games can't have sequels where you are the child of a previous main character because that implies heterosexual reproduction

I think people's issues with S76 being gay is that we as a group know Blizzard just did it to virtue signal effectively devaluing the entire point to begin with. The secondary issue off that is that people assume that critiquing S76 as being gay is somehow an attack on homosexuals rather than shitting on Blizzard for being pandering cucks.
Joshua Thomas
Imagine how quickly this would all end if normal men just beat gay dudes back into the closet
Ryan Carter
Imagine how empty their lives must be for someone to care so much about stuff like this.
Its a video game character. Stop and think for a second about how much thought and energy you are putting into this. Go outside, get a job, work out, read a book, take care of yourself. Get some life perspective and realize how small and pointless this kind of stuff is.
But S:76 was never stated or implied to be straight. His sexuality was unknown. There was no contradiction with making him gay.

What's that got to do with my point about Blizzard being entirely disingenuous about making him gay because they wanted to pander? Blizzard didn't reveal he was gay because it was important or even relevant, they only did it because they wanted to show how progressive they are which is entirely the wrong reason to ever do anything to a character.
Unless you're going to tell me to my face right now that you think Blizzard was being genuine and had a non-pandering/non-political reason to reveal his sexuality?

Liam Foster

Justin Parker
Who cares if it was genuine or wasn’t genuine? S:76 being gay was never a contradiction nor is it constantly in your face. It’s just part of the character like revealing D.Va likes Doritos. Maybe saying D.Va like Doritos wasn’t genuine and an attempt at product placement and subtle advertising but it doesn’t matter. Would you be this against it if S:76 was revealed to have a wife and you would complain about forced heteronormativity? I don’t think so.
Justin Carter
I think you're listening to ppl complain too much.
in case #1, depends on other factors. this is the biggest and largest version of the average person is just whining. It is possible the creator just wants brownie points, and looked for a character to slap the label "gay" onto. So it depends on their stance on other things.
In the case of issue#2 a gay character doesnt spend 99% of their day only "being gay" in talking about sexual attractions, and stereotypes. If they happen to have a partner, etc, then its fine. If the plot actually deals with them as a MC, and gay issues, then that IS the plot, and doesnt matter if they are over simplified as "the gay character." (but its also a plot we're tired of seeing usually. its not inherently entertaining, but for those who havent seen such a plot, would be unique. once it stops being unique, it stops being interesting.)
There is no paradox, the problem is people always complain, about everything, no matter what. Look at MMOs, no matter what the creators do, its always a bitch fest. leading to terrible decisions being made, due to lack of critical thinking.
Oliver Cooper
I feel that way about trans people kissing. It's not intentional, but it just grosses me out. Gay is fine for me tho.

Im convinced most people hwo shitpost on these threads never even read the short story that revealed those details, amongst many other things.

I unironically blame video games writers being garbage. Most of them can't even write a good female character and you expect them to be clever with a gay character. It makes me laugh that Japan's flamboyant comic relief fags and various fujobaits are more interesting and feel less forced than whatever western devs throw at us these days

If he were gay but otherwise a normal kid, I would accept him. I made him; I have a responsibility to raise him properly. If he became an obnoxious, SJW, super-raging homo faggot who wore tight pink shorts and talked like a massive cretin, then I would spend less time with him and just sort of push him out of the house quickly.
Cameron Hughes
IIRC everyone thought it was his son
Connor Martin
It was already resolved, idiot writers with hidden agendas just can't seem to figure out what made him work.
A character being gay is like a character having a foot fetish. It's an unnecessary detail that has little reason to be included, so by default people will wonder why that detail was included. And in western games, a large majority of the time, the reason will usually be to pander to ideologues, which will always result in a backlash.
Luke Harris
not even remotely true. Im an overfaggot since release. most people assumed it was tracer until chu deconfirmed. then people assumed it was some friend he knew during war shit. maybe a few thought that, but it was hardly the majority by any means
Chase Moore

How do I respond to people who accuse me of homophobia just because im disgusted with gays? Maybe that is "phobia" but I don't have any fear of them whatsoever, just when I see a man acting like a woman it triggers disgust, when I see a man being intimate with a man it triggers inate disgust I cant describe because my parents taught me to be kind to everyone. But I would never use the word afraid or describe myself as having a phobia. Its like people cant comprehend this.
Dominic Mitchell
Every other straight man also feels this way, they just pretend not to in order to pander to women
Zachary Gomez
just learn to keep that feeling inward. its normal to be repulsed by things that dont sexually attract you. be polite to people who are kind to you regardless. and unless youre in a trash city in cali or some shit, you shouldn't be in a situation where you see ANYONE make out in public often enough for it to be a problem. I personally hate seeing anyone kiss in public. but I learn to ignore in the off chance i see it. super flamboyant gays can bother me sometimes but im simply not friends with them. I do have some gay friends, but they arent the hip swaying faggots from cali. theyre men in everything but the bedroom.
Andrew Martin

Camden Smith
Fetishes we don't like disgust us. Most people will be disgusted by scat, feet, or just flat female chests, and so it wouldn't be far-fetched to consider you can be disgusted by yaoi, and by extent, male-male romance IRL. The thing is, people mistake this uncontrollable disgust as being inherent to those who practice the fetishes as well, which is what leads to actual homophobia.
I suppose that's why "kinkshaming" doesn't need to be such a yucky word just because leftweeters primarily use it, because there is no direct connection between a person's fetishes and the quality of said person, unless said fetish is illegal. Which is why it's as stupid to rag on people for being gay of for being into crossdressing as it is for ragging you on for whatever hentai you fap to at night.
Joseph Johnson
>>Why is he gay then? Why isn’t he straight? What purpose does him being gay serve to the game or the story? This is forced diversity, you just made him gay for brownie points obsessed

Thomas Cooper
>If they don't understand why a grown man marching in a bondage suit dick out, flanked by others doing the same in front of onlookers and oftentimes small children, then the battle is already lost this happens because gayness was forced into the closet all this time, meaning the only way people could express their gayness before is in very fringe communities which also allowed all other kinds of deviant ideas to seep in much like how those who want to yell FAGGOT come to Yea Forums and are slowly indoctrinated into accepting the redpill

Jack Phillips
This is a shit argument though that perfectly demonstrates the double standards towards gay characters
Arcade Gannon doesn't really talk much about his sexuality, sure. But there are character in New Vegas like Boone and Cass who go on and on about their relationships. Boone's entire character arc revolved around him getting revenge for his dead wife and coming to terms with her being gone and Cass goes on and on about the relationships she's had. If Arcade was involved with either of these (his quest involved lamenting over his dead husband, he discusses all the men he's slept with) then everyone would complain about how he's "too gay". But because they are straight characters no one gives a shit
It is a blatant double standard and the reactions to New Vegas' characters is a perfect demonstration of the Gay Paradox
Bentley Perry
If he turned into an obnoxious SJW and continued acting violently in debates with him then I'd probably kick him out of the house and do everything in my power to remove him from public records If he turned gay and otherwise doesn't change in personality and doesn't turn into an obnoxious brat, I'd just be like "k".
Unironically true. The smartest people on the planet rarely breed because they see existence for the raw deal it really is. Meanwhile, the dumbest and niggerest of humanity breed like flies.
Jordan Davis
The opposite is true, actually. Real relationships can only form between men. Women do not have the capacity to feel real love or empathy.
