5 upcoming LGBT indie games you should check out

2019 is a fantastic year for indie gaming. There have been some fantastic works in LGBT indie games, so why not celebrate them?

[Tharja]

I would, but I feel like I would be supporting sjw bullshit.

[XFactorjjw]

Pretty weird hill to die on there buddy

[Sono421]

Is seriously NO ONE gonna comment on the cringe name of this site? GAYmingmag?! I mean seriously.. if you base your whole identity around your sexuality, you are clearly hollow and lacking in personality.

You don't see cringe stuff like STRAIGHTgamingnews or anything like that, which would be just as cringe.

I think it's safe to say that LGBT is way past the point of being accepted and it's now to the point where it's being shoved down our throats.

[TeamIcoFan]

Funny, people like you get pissed when an existing character is revealed to be gay, saying "Just make your own games FFS!"
Yet when we do, you people still complain.

We have every right to make our own games, a news site reporting on it isn't "sjw bullshit", get over it.

[BillyG0AT]

A hell of a lot of it is, to be fair

[PowerOfTheCloud]

What's wrong about saying "just make your own game" and not supporting it? I'm mean isn't that the point about not having to support this kind of stuff by not having to buy a game that you interested in but has been filled up with certain agendas?

[rainslacker]

People complain about normalcy too. Just people complain about different things.

I get your point though. Since others seemed to miss it, you're saying that people who aren't into the stuff shouldn't be so negative towards the things that are doing what they asked to be done in a way that makes it a no win situation for those companies or people that actually do try to effect change in the way it should be done, instead of forcing ideals on the products that we would prefer they stop poking their noses in as if they are somehow the target audience of the games which have been fine for decades now.

Paraphrased of course.

[Inzo]

"Funny, people like you get pissed when an existing character is revealed to be gay, saying "Just make your own games FFS!""

Maybe you should read his post again and stop seeing what you want to see.

Ugghh equality is so gross isn’t it? So do I get my cool internet points now for fighting the SJW libs?

Dude, you’re pathetic

[GrubsterBeater]

“Ugghh equality is so gross isn’t it?”

Name me ONE area of inequality between straight people and the LGBT community.

Just one..

I know it’s nice to be a victim and LARP about fighting civil rights atrocities, but we live in a time where those issues don’t exist anymore, at least not in the Western world.

If you wanna fight the good fight, direct it at the peaceful religion of Islam where gay people are thrown off buildings for being gay.

[BillyG0AT]

no

[FunAndGun]

'In this game, you’ll need to dance your way through the streets.'

Yes

[Elda]

Cool for folks that are interested,hopefully it does well for the indie community. To each their own.

[Poopmist]

Hopefully one day people will care more about someone's favorite dinosaur than their sexuality and we'll have, "5 Games where the Main Character Loves Triceratops that you Should Check Out". My favorite is Spinosaurus btw.

[Hungryalpaca]

Why do people care what hole people stick it in so much? It’s fucking Weird.

Ok you eat vajays. Ok you suck the dog.

Who cares?

I thought the whole point of the gay movement was to be accepted. As in, normal like the rest of us.

[Traecy]

These games don't focus on who's zooming who sexually it's much broader than that.These games are about the LGBTQ lifestyle,culture along with entertainment & other things that folks in the LGTBQ community can relate to. In your average game they don't center an LGTBQ character around their lifestyle/culture so these developers are making small indie games like this for folks that are interested in these types of games & there's nothing wrong with that. If one is not interested in these types of games don't bother to enter the article knowing it's not for you nor are the developers holding a gun to anyone's head & forcing them to acknowledge & play their games.

[Elda]

Exactly!! Some of these folks are too closed minded,biased,immature,ignoran t & negative to even realize that.

[Sono421]

What "culture" is specific to LGBTQAAIP+ (Yes that's the full term now, cmon get it right bigot /s) Rainbows? You act as if all LGBTQAAIP+ people are just one big group think that all act the same and have the same interests, no, it's a sexual preference, that's it. Man if I was in their group I would be pissed we keep getting all lumped together.

Just because a guy is gay, doesn't mean he likes rainbows and to go to pride parades in a speedo, honestly your comment seems like one of the most bigoted comments in this comment section. Gay and lesbian people are just like any other person, they have their own interests, and hobbies, they don't all like the same stuff, they just happen to be attracted to the same sex, that's it. So to cater to what they all actually DO have in common, would be making games based on the SPECIFIC fact they are into same sex, or both, or trans. Honestly I don't get why people like you act like they are a different species all together, pretty ignorant.

[FunAndGun]

"Or people want her to look like she should?

They’re boobs. Why people get shamed for liking or even talking about them is absurd.

Yet we’re fine ripping people apart, fine with murder in games and other crimes. Gore etc.

Yet titties are forbidden...." - Hungryalpaca

So boobies are great and should be talked about, but anything gay is off limits? We are trying to be normal like the rest of you guys. Any time a big rack or a phat booty is shown, guys drool and say how they love those big boobies. If "normal" guys can talk about sex and what they would do to these busty women, surely it is acceptable for gay people to do the same? After all, we just trying to be like the rest of you.

[Vetalka83]

check out????more like stay away from!!!

[jjb1981]

I don't understand why people need to shove their sexual preference in other peoples' faces and that goes for all "groups". I get it that everyone should be treated equal regardless. Why go out of the way to let others know that they're sword fighting or clam bumping.

[Hungryalpaca]

Because they want to be treated as special.

Ffs I’m really starting to hate being in that LGB crap. They embarrass me.

[FunAndGun]

You already embarrass yourself with your hypocrisy.

[NoneYuh]

But no one is doing that. You’re rediculously ignorant. Lgbtq characters are rarely a thing in media. Those are real people that exist. Nothing wrong w wanting representation. But I guess you’re just going to use your shitty excuse to fight back against something harmless.

[Absonite]

Yes, they're people. Again, what anyone does on their own free time, or whatever their preference is has nothing to do with anything. It's starting to feel like if I were to state that I'm straight, I could damn near get charged with hate speech.

[jjb1981]

Representation of what?

[ginganinja]

I mean, if you wanted to avoid it, you could just NOT click on the article with LGBT in the title that comes from a site called GAYmingmag.com..

[yellowgerbil]

I'm pretty sure every game coming out is lgbt... just like every movie and every tv show, and every commercial. Fun game next time you watch Hulu with ads try to find the white guys in the commercials, 1 in 5 will have a white guy somewhere in it.

[PlatinumGX]

Celebrate mental illness? Pass.

[CatCouch]

Pride Run looks pretty intriguing. The art style is catching my attention and the idea of pride march rhythm battles is just cool.

[Inzo]

No thank you.

[NoneYuh]

I’d say “in before all the ignorant and homophobic comments” but it seems I’m late to the party. A lot of you on here are disgusting. I hope one day you realize how ignorant and negative you are and change. Gamers in general are an incredibly gate keeping group and I’m sometimes ashamed I come here for news. I see all you alt right fuckers going off the rails about SJWs and PC. Like grow the fuck up you entitled little shits. You’re homophobes. Own up to it and stop using the “force it down our throats” excuse. That literally has never happened in anything ever.

[yellowgerbil]

"That literally has never happened in anything ever"
Tell that to the kids having to let men in their bathrooms

[Inzo]

Oh the irony of this comment.

[Imalwaysright]

Like that trans guy from Canada that is suing 7 or 8 women because they refused to wax his junk? Like the women that are being kicked out from their own sports because men with penises that claim to be women have a clear physical advantage over them? Like people cancelling someone that dares to say that transitioning 4 years old is wrong? Like people going after Dave Chappelle because he dared to make jokes about the alphabet community? Like people demonizing the straight pride parade? Like you immediately calling anyone that doesn't put the alphabet community in a pedestal all kinds of "bics" and "ists" in an attempt to control our thoughts and speech?

[Rachel_Alucard]

There's no "Growing up" to do. You act as if progressiveness is a sign of maturity, but the people who complain the most about it are the most juvenile and insufferable people you'll ever meet. Maybe you should learn to deal with life first instead of jumping on the twitter activist bandwagon by claming everyone who doesn't agree with me are homophobes/racists like you guys love doing. Go outside.

[CyberCam]

You need to read Imalwaysright's reply, because everything he states is TRUTH, actual facts, not opinions! All I see in your "name calling" post, is you getting upset and spewing verbal insults against people that disagree with your views. Which is their God given right to do so, not one post on here has posted any threatening comments of bodily harm to anyone.

The problem with the lgbt+ community is that they put their own personal rights over everyone else's that disagree with them and they as a group want to take away other groups/people rights & replace it with their own views. This lgbt community is a cancer that wants to take away people's right to disagree & have access to free speech!

There's nothing in their agenda closely regarding equality, they want the right to take away any dissent, thus killing equality and giving them superior rights above everyone else. This has been proven time & time again, just search the internet on how many times they've tried to sue people (in these kangaroo courts) for stupid small issues of people's personal choices. If a tiny small business doesn't feel comfortable to do business with you, why would you try & force them too? Just go somewhere else where you & the place of business is comfortable doing whatever you need done!

[Mainman187]

PASS!

[AK91]

Who cares?

[BioShockGX]

I would've checked them out if the title was "5 upcoming indie games you should check out"
So no.

[HighPlayer28]

They just got to promote their abominations everywhere in society. When is it going to end with these people. Its a damn shame how gaming is not even safe from agendas thats rotting society.

[Almightsponge]

I bet half of the devs of these games just are looking to cash in off the ltbqg people that are hanging out a game that they can "relate too" enter all these obscure games that have nothing to do with anything apart from have all gay casts or some bs lol

[Absonite]

I guess a better way to put it is simply, a video game character is super "masculine." Doesn't mean the nigga ain't gay, but what in the actual FUCK does that have to do with stopping the "evil" forces at hand? NOTHING! Even when a character is "straight" I've literally NEVER once seen them take the time to talk about all the "pussy" he gon' get when the missions complete. Please someone make this game so straight people have parity lmao.
