Are they gay...?

Zelda's fairy obsessed Tingle is gay. No question. But how about Gears of War's gruff and brutish Marcus Fenix or God of War's one man massacre machine, Kratos? Here are five popular gaming heroes that we think show signs of covert - and not so covert - campness. Could they be gay...?

[ElementX]

I can honestly say that I don't think about characters as g@y or straight, unless they're one of the flamboyant types, then you can't help but notice. However, I think people are just looking beyond the scope of the games and the characters within them. I never played Gears of War or Dead Rising thinking of homosexual themes, nor would I think too deeply about such things. Trying to interpret the dialog and actions of fictional characters just shows that you have too much time on your hands and you ask too many "what if...?" questions.

[InMyOpinion]

Homophobic thoughts? That's what the article indicates to me.

[TheGoodMART]

hell yea he's g@y just look at the photo

[techie]

Lol indeed. Kratos? Nahhh. etcccc... they don't have sexualities cause they dont have sex, because they don't have genitals - do you think game designers design private parts under the characters clothes. lol mope.

[True Gamer]

This g@y story got approved but my Killzone vs Halo 3 feature story didn't?

http://www.n4g.com/(F(I2g-Y...

WHY???

[joemutt]

Your story would have attracted the usual fanboy comments and insults that we are all used to around here.

But this one could attract fanboy comments and insults of a different nature. The kind we dont need at this site.

[VirtualGamer]

Sad that this even made the news

Even more sad is that this is now the top news story for the PS3 section.

I like alot about the new site, but seems how articles are approved /not approved needs some work.

[techie]

lol yuh its classic.

[f41c0n]

I can't believe that this was approved.

[Drew]

Agreed. Whoever is approving things right now is uh... a little off their rocker. Yay for retarded stories and things we've known for months!

[killercam19]

double

[GaMr-]

Did anyone notice this article is strictly and soley based on fictional video game characters. Shheeeshh....

*point of advice* Please watch your comments its not worth getting banned over, or even worse brought up on charges. well atleast here in the states you can sue anyone for anything

[Geohound]

Wow. Just wow.I am blown away that somebody would really post something like that on N4G.

Wow.

[fenderputty]

I think this topic is ridiculous. Why anyone would think of this, let alone care, is beyond me.

[Bathyj]

I think whoever wrote this is G@y. He might be right about Vaan though. Probably 90% of Nintendo Charactors are g@y, and if they're no,...... well they sure do act and look like it. Peach keeps getting kidnapped just to get attention but Mario's to busy with his "cousin". And Kirby? If a red Octagon means Stop in street signs talk then Kirby means G@y in street sign talk.

[BIadestarX]

How on earth this gets approved!?
This article is completely G@y!

[R34GTR]

Its actually pretty funny. You know what I would rather read this when their is no real news out as oppose to the usual flamebait that comes through here. If I have to read another "Top 5 Gadgets not to buy from AOL" article. I dont know what i'll do. "AOL" telling me what not to buy....ridiculous

[killercam19]

wat its true how can u look at a beautiful woman anf choose to go fu*k a guy instead its just disgusting

[marionz]

aint nothing wrong with g@y people, im g@y and so what? im not scum or discusting! so get a life and stop bashing people! stupid kid

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

go, girl! ;~)

LOL!

[Violater]

should be on this list

[wolfgang]

I would also add Makoto from Enchanted Arms.

[Say's you]

To cause your probably hiding a deep secret that you like both Genders lol.

[MikeGdaGod]

this is a dumb @ss article

[Lex Luthor]

OMG!!! It's teh [email protected]

Final Fantasy has a lot of queer characters.

[Bathyj]

How come I can't say g@y but I can say sodomy? Seriously is g@y a swear word now?

[InMyOpinion]

I've asked that question before also. G@y is ruled out. Fellatio and sodomy ok. lol!

[Havince]

Some of you people have issues, im quiet homophobic i find myself being uneasy around g@y people but im NOT someone who thinks they deserve to die. Just because someone is different to you doesnt mean there is something wrong with them, there just as much human or maybe more so that you are.

GROW UP

[power of 360]

GaMr are you a homo

[techie]

Seriously I didn't expect people to be so immature and homophobic. This article which was clearly a little bit of fun has got out of hand to show some people's true colours. We all know who's the scum of the earth - murderers etc. oh and maybe the american government and all the hating hicks around the world.

It's actually quite amusing to bring down someones sexuality to who they have sex with, when its blokes they fall in love with etc.

I also find it ironic how they call America the land of the free, when there's so many uneducated people hating, with guns. A program over here went to drive round the states and they wrote "man love" and "country music is sh't" on their cars when driving through Alabama...just to see how f*cked up some people are and hey they get shot at. Land of the free my asssss.

(sorry to turn that into America bashing - I have a lot of american friends, and I know loads of you guys are cool and prob have the most intelligent people in the world in your country, including my grandpa - but I just look at some of the ignorance and shiver - we have it here too, but not so widespread into whole towns of em.)

And yuh I reject G@y being a swear word - though perhaps its a good idea since there are so many phobes around.

I hope you banned andapaul88.

And seriously who cares about members sexuality. It has f'all to do with games.

[Hayabusa 117]

Holy s**t. I really don't know what's worse. The article writer, who can only be g@y if it crosses his mind that characters like Marcs Fenix could be g@y, or the people, whoever they are, who approved this article (especially when you consider that the word "g@y" is banned on this site...), or the desperate kids who had no console to flame, as so started flaming homosexuals. No doubt, I am going to be called "g@y" e.t.c. It just shows how mature some these site members are. I'm not surprised though. Oh well, enjoy your thread...

[Ravenator529]

So far I have read a few articles on that site and so far all of them have been complete garbage. I mean, they are just trying too hard to be funny with this one.

I don't care about the subject matter on this one. If it was a funny article, then I should be laughing right now. I'm not. It just doesn't make any sense.

Think about how stupid this article really is. Lets pick some of the most hardcore and bad@ss game characters and make sh1t up about how they might be gay. This is just stupid. Like I said, its not even funny.

[GaMr-]

"Power of 360 - 2 Hours ago
#21 -
GaMr are you a homo"

GaMr- Hey bro thanks for the offer but im not gay and im already in a relationship with a female. Im sure they have homosexual dating sites you can check out though.

I'm actually very comfortable with my sexual orientation. comfortable enough to read an article like this and either say "ok not funny" or "ahahah thats a good laugh". But when someone reads it and feels the need to respond how you are or some of the other immature people are acting in this thread it makes you wonder. You either think its funny or you dont. The article is ment for strictly humor. Their is no need for a Gay rights movement or Gaybashing in this thread. Its not that serious simply an article mocking the video game personalities. You guys act like you hang out with Kratos or Marcus Pheonix is your third cousing. "THEY ARE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS" Im sure if they were real they would probably have a good laugh at this. "Well with the exception of Kratos...That dude is eternally pissed". Anyways back on topic. You either find it funny or you dont. I apologize if it made anyone feel akward or make them question their sexuality. It was ment for comic relief. Figure I would cut everyone a break from the usual articles that lead to Xbox360 fanboy attacks and PS3 owners constantly on the defense.

[power of 360]

I apologize to you GaMr

[Align]

I'll Have A Bacardi And Coke Please Myfannwy.

[tevis69]

I found the article to be kinda funny... and stupid. but still funny. especially the last character in the article... that dude has gotta be a bit flamin lol

[ChickeyCantor]

damn you guys are homophobic's!(or how ever you spell it)
this article is a joke XD
who ever wrote that is just sad and pathetic

[kamakazi]

goes to show who the little immature kids are and why they spout the SH!t they do on this site. grwo up guys that or seek help.

[Align]

Bend over and pass me the soap please :)

[Sphinx]

Um... maybe, I guess. I don't think the people who created him decided upon his sexuality in any formal manner.
Anyway, funny article. I thought the Fenix one was the funniest, though... since it was the most absurd I'm sure.

[tacobell]

kratos had interactive sexual intercourse with two women...

fenix checked out anya i guess...maybe...him and don, got it ON

the kid from bully ummm i guess hes plausible

frank west should have aids from that blood

the final fantasy guy? ya i think he got some sugar in the tank

=D

[Karibu]

and Marcus Penix, need I say more? XD

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]
