Homosexuals aren’t particularly well represented in videogames. Sure there are games that feature LBGT characters – but mostly in a generic manner, with a one-sex-fits-all ethos – like Fable, Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. One indie game developer wants to change that, but his experimental game ideas – while trying to be “ironic,” only seem to perpetuate established stereotypes.

Republicans! THERE I SAID IT!!!!!
Basically include people of ALL sexualities in gaming but make sure you put it in the "right" way (thats not a political joke). Just make sure we dont get another dragon age where it makes people uncomfortable ;)
*still doesn't ban anything*
Part of being treated equally means special treatment goes away. It means you do not get to play the persecution card when you feel offended though no one offended. It means you can't cry foul just because you didn't get your way. It means you can't scream bias because the creative lead told you The T-1000 Terminator isn't gay.
Reality also means you have to understand you may live in a gay world but the entire world isn't gay.
You said it best. I don't care if the characters are gay or not as long as the game is good & fun.
edit: i in fact agree that they should make more gay games for gay people If they demand it and the devs keep it 17+. i'm all for freedom and rights.
I Love You Phillip Morris was cool though, i can handle that kinda gay, not BrokeBack Mountain though, eww
Its people with your mindset that are stopping things from moving forward.
In my opinion someone who is gay should be classified as having a mental issue where they are attracted to the same sex.
Hey, since you love being natural so much, I guess infertile straight couples shouldn't have sex since they can't reproduce-- we should campaign against straight people getting blowjobs too, as well as condoms, since, that's not how you reproduce either. Those are much more common than homosexuals.
Since you love being natural, I bet you don't even jerk off, since that's not how you reproduce. If you did, you'd be a pretty big hypocrite since you only seem to think of sex as reproduction.
Your ignorant opinion is invalidated by common sense and science, and your inability to see that makes you the one with a mental disability.
"Its people with your mindset that are stopping things from moving forward."
yes I totally wouldn't this from moving anymore forward lol.
@alphs, anal sex is just sick pleasure and is the most common and easiest way to catch STD's like hepatitis and hiv, and is why hiv is now more of a homosexual disease. thus making it f***ing disgusting and wrong. you want science? the vagina lubricates its self for preparation of insertion of a penis by nature, the asshole shits out feces in preparation to build up on the next load of crap to shit out.
And no, nature doesn't indicate homosexuality is unnatural, you should look again. Homosexuality is common in nature. I like how you ignored my point: Anal sex isn't strictly homosexual, nor do homosexuals strictly have anal sex. Yet, you don't seem to fight out against straight couples who are: infertile, do oral, masturbate or have anal sex. Apparently, it's just gay people you don't like for doing something unnatural.
As far as you not liking to see it, you can learn to deal with it, just like racists have to deal with seeing interracial marriage in public. Oh, the humanity! The sooner you realize the disgust you feel comes from the uneducated conditioning of your religious justification and not from the actual reality of homosexuality, the better off you will be.
I'm still waiting for you to tell me why strict reproductive sex is the only moral choice, since you seem to think that you should do what is only "natural"
Unfortunately your reasoning lies with a lazy, ignorant, and laughable "because god did it" mechanic, so I don't expect you to come up with something more reasonable. I'm also doubtful that you will, or have had only strict "natural" sex (almost nobody does) but I don't expect you to admit that.
Grow up dude. You sound like the kinda "natural" man who still churns his butter and doesn't let the ladies talk until spoken to. It's 2012. Times change, dipshits don't. (language, sorry)
animals don't have anal sex in nature u twat only humans. and even if they were Capable you don't see them adopting babies together.
homosexuals are the #1 carrier of hiv.
most people are just straight up uncomfortable with that crap hence the big issue.
SO, your first paragraph has nothing to do with what i siad. your second paragraph isn't a point i disagreed with and is irrelevant. your third paragraph liek i said idk where you got religion from im not even religious therefore is irrelevant (geeze talk about ignoring a point?).
strict reproductive sex the only moral choice? because it keeps the balance of nature and is the only way to reproduce and keep humanity going. if everyone was gay (which if it isnt wrong, we would all not exist) how is that "right"?
now that i think of it... were you even replying to me because even your last paragraph makes no sense i just schooled you and you keep going on about this nature thing and dodged All of my points by replying with topics i didn't even mention like religion etc. talk about lazy and uneducated, learn to read.and the whole thing about gays in nature was completely wrong because animals are incapable of thinking that way and having anal sex, i would assume it's because of the absent frontal lobe.
You don't statistically know the % of What gamer is Male/female, then to go to the lengths of the sub-categories of which of those males and females are straight, bi or gay.
You can't declare Any sexual orientation as a minority, many just keep it to themselves, while 'Straight' are just the blatant 'Default title' everyone is given, making it a shallow and obvious flaw in representation.
As like, "You're considered straight by default until you come out by declaring you're not"? .....
You're considered normal by default... same thing. It's normal because if everyone was gay the human population would reach Zero very quickly.
That's how god intended it to be. And if you aren't religious that's how nature intended it to be.
And yes, gays are a minority. I see far more straight people than I do gays. Obviously gays are going to argue this up and down to prove they are right but human biology proves they aren't.
I don't have a problem with gays but it sure as hell isn't "natural".
You both sound like closed-minded bigots, that's very unfortunate, trying to sound confident on what is Normal and what isn't, basically saying that being anything but Straight isn't Normal? I wish people like you honestly would be banned from here, and die in real life :)
and especially towards OneAboveAll, he brings RELIGIOUSNESS in here! Why aren't people attacking this twit? Lol Nature, How god intended it to be, Gtfo, OneAboveAll, humans like you are one of the most insecure and inferior of all delinquents.
"I don't have a problem with gays but it sure as hell isn't "natural"."....
REALLY NOW?.... -.- People like this guy are what continue the chain of discrimination and ignorance.... Top it off how you try to act like you can't be argued with because you claim 'BIOLOGY' is on your side, if not Biology, then GOD is on your side? I cannot fathom how much I honestly want to kill you for your ignorance :)
Seriously? what the hell gives you the right to dictate that gay people aren't natural? They are people just like you and deserve the same right to doing ANYTHING that you can do, including being gay.
Oh and btw, animal homosexuality is very common throughout nature, you should have probably learnt that before calling him uneducated.
Oh and please stop trying to pull the whole 'Better for mankind" bullshit. This world is way overpopulated and I highly doubt that a minority of gay people in the population is going to stop mankind.
Oh and I almost forgot, Gay is not a choice, it is something you're born with, making it just as natural as anyone who is straight.
I couldn't play more than an hour of that game. I showed clips of it to my gay co-worker (whom I have no problem with) and he couldn't stand the gay character either.
there is no reason to implement gay characters in a game, let alone have it revolve around gay characters.
Why put into sex, in any form, just for the sake of it? Does it have a place in the story? Is it a key piece? If not, then it shouldn't be put in.
Keep these sort of jokes to yourself dude...
Fact Sheet:
50 different weapons
8 amazing missions
Two different story campaigns
One big blumpkin
seriously some people born with dick and doesn't know how to use it right.
You should change ur name to tentonsoflube. Ignoramous.
The homophobia is rediculous. Homosexuality DOES NOT effect anyone.
Oh and if 2 girls making out/ touching eachother gets you off cut your dick off hypocrite.
WAIT I can believe it since is in games, movies, books, music and even school are used to brainwash this kids, mens.
why is so hard to use logic? just like tentonsoftube did?
you want to please yourself? with others likes you? then your mentally sick just like someone will like to please them self with a lil kid are...
but I will not argue logic with someone who is already to math into it and I can't change anyones way to think anyways, so is no point.
but i do hope that people like tentonsoftube who are normal, are smart enough to not let their kids been brainwash. and I do hope for the other normal people who are not smart enough, to be and don't let the propaganda brainwash their kids .
Whether or not you agree with what they do, it honestly does not affect you. If you aren't gay then when they have intercourse, you aren't present or involved. In other words, it has absolutely NO effect on you, so why hate them?
Since we both used up our bubbles, just PM me your answer.
You telling them their lifestyle is wrong when it affects no one but themselves is NOT fine.
You coming up with flawed excuses(saying "it's not natural" is moot when homosexual acts exist in nature) is NOT fine.
I mean, I guess I should start picking cotton in some white man's back yard, since that was the "natural" order of things for hundreds of years, right?
See what I did there?
There should be an array of gay characters represented in video games and not just one type (not that there's anything wrong with the stereotypical gays).
Most gamers seem to think that it's okay if the main character is gay, as long as it pertains and adds to the story, and I agree.
Enchanted Arms was a joke with the gay guy
Dragon Age I was told there was the option but I was too busy trying to complete the game to care
Those are the only ones off the dome I can think of.
I personally could care less if there was straight/gay characters in a game; a good story means a good game, just because there's a "sexual preference" advertised in a game doesn't make it any better than a generic copy. I'm mature enough, and secure of my personal choice to not let it bother me at all.
It's like someone saying how often they masturbate or what they masturbate to. Do we congratulate them for being open about that?
I figure you can express opinions without sexual preference dictating said public opinion.
What I DON'T know is it if is an accumulative count, or if it goes by votes of an individual comment.
Lol Anyway thank-you. :)
I agree that sexual related things should not be a selling point though, I have absolutely nothing against these things, it is just that a story has little potential if that is what you aim at.
funny i dont seem to want any of these fuc**** games, and Keep this sh** out of games period.
Lets say for example, Max Payne, Wife and Daughter killed, Max goes out for revenge.
If Max was gay and his boyfriend got killed, would that cause outrage? Would the game be labelled homophobic or gaybashing?
Would it be seen as a guy that got killed because he was gay, or as a guy who got killed who happened to be gay and no bearing on why he was killed?
