Are gays misrepresented in vidya ?

Fuck off pol

It's blown out of proportion and people shouldn't care so much

>>377441612
No.

>>377441612
They're probably just looking at your ass because you're so abhorrently fat it's disgusting, and they legitimately can't tell if they're looking at your fat fuck gross pizza face or your fat fuck gross diarrhea butt

>>377441612

The problem is there's no real way to show a character is gay (or straight) beyond having them state, allude to or outright fucking something

If you don't want people to poorly represent you then don't base your entire identity around what you want to fuck.

If a videogame is not about sex, story-wise, there's not a particularly good reason for a character's sexuality to come up.

If a character is designed to be flamboyant and horny, then in that specific instance their sexuality DOES come up

Which is to say, it's not that vidya only shows gay characters as flamboyant queens. It's that the ones that aren't flamboyant queens we don't have any way to know if they're gay.

Prove to me Master Chief isn't gay. You can't, because his sexuality is not at issue in the Halo franchise. People just assume he must be straight and then bitch that the only gay characters are cliches because it's the only ones they notice

>>377441612
>Gays ARE always horny, everytime i'm outside, there are always guys checking my ass (I look young and have big thigh/ass but i'm not feminine or anything)

>>377441969
He jerks off onto cortana in halo 5, it's the first time we see his dick in all the games

It also means he's gay tho because cortana is a man

Gay here. I take issue with the flamboyant bit. I think acting like that is unbecoming no matter who you are and also don't find it attractive. I'm fine with the horny part though, I see a hot guy and I'll react the same way a straight guy would to a hot chick.

>>377442261
And Link has Princess Zelda, but that doesn't stop him from being gay as fuck.

>>377441612
they are, because your average video game company is out of touch. all the LGBT community actually wants is representation on an equal level as straight people. this is always misinterpreted as just shoving in tons of them and their entire character is just that they're gay. what the actually want is to have a good, well written, interesting character that happens to not be straight. it's not hard, they're just asking for something from a completely clueless and talent-less industry.

>>377442347
Zelda has different variations of Link so yeah one of them would be gay as fuck, but since you want to be technical about it then Master Chief was trained to be the perfect soldier that means he was trained to kill and have no time to have any relationship. He is asexual.

Link's been a nigh platonic relationship with the princess since the games came out. Fuck the only time he showed any romantic interest in ANYONE was the EXCUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, Princess version.

I mean for fuck's sake even Adol "Adventure and Dogi" Cristen was into Feena but Link? Nothing across the board.

>>377441612
Kung Jin from MK is neither horny not flamboyant, he's just a dumb asshole.
Which is why I like him.

If you're talking about Andromeda's gay characters like Gil or Steve you may have a point but there is one gay character in Mass Effect that's more than his sexuality/his relationship and that is Avitus Rix.

What I want gay characters in vidya to be characters first and not having their entire personality and history written around them liking cock.

>>377442832

I'm a fucking faggot

I don't care if gay dudes are in video games. I'm used to not being around any gay people ever so giving me the option in a video game to get my gay is not only immersion breaking for me, but borderline pandering

Like, okay, this guy - this guy was triggered because Ryuji was like "BRO let's scope out some PUSSY" and whenever the MC says "dude no" he keeps kinda pushing it. On one hand, I get it, being in the closet sucks. On the other hand - it's fucking Persona. What do you do in Persona? Fight demons in a dungeon and find a waifu - everyone knows that - so the fact that he went into it thinking "I'm going to get my gay on" is absurd.

I'd just appreciate it if gay people could chill out a little. Even in Yakuza 0 when a girl calls me to ask me out I don't hyperventilate about having to be straight, I just roll my eyes and say "well guess I have to"

Of course but we don't have to be the only group that only gets the stereotype characters, besides there aren't a lot of absolute niggers in vidya outside of maybe GTA, The majority of female characters aren't shrews who only want men to take care of them, whatever spic character exists is speaking perfect english.

If they don't get their stereotypes we don't have to either.

>>377441612

Bro have you met a "shitty gay"? Even the most femmy faggy dudes are actually pretty cool, and I'm by no means "masc" but they're really nice aside from maybe ten percent of all femmy dudes, those guys are shitty in that they're bitches rather than fighting for their right to get fucked in the butthole and they need to go to their own island with nothing but turbo dykes

By the by, as a lover of dick I usually play as a girl, it's more about being pretty than being able to potentially date guys - that being said this dude made me fuckin' bashful

irl, the ones you notice are the flamboyant ones, there are plenty that arent that way, but you wouldnt know they were gay unless you asked, so you assume theyre not and thats where the stereotype comes from and that is perfectly valid. men by nature are the pursuers so when you get two that are attracted to eachother it wont take much for them to bang. it should also be noted that gays only account for 10% of the population, so in a lot of games that push diversity, gays are very over-represented.

I think romantic choices should be left out of video games, because when you want to add in enough diversity to pander to everyone you end up wasting way more resources than you ever should on a small tangent. and as much shit as overwatch got for the lesbian shit, i think thats a great way to handle sexuality; you wouldnt know their sexuality by playing the game because it doesnt matter and doesnt come up, but in-canon they're whatever the dev wants. they can pander to people, get them to shut up, not make them flamboyant or stereotypical, and not negatively impact the game

>>377444585
But faggots exist and you can see them posting here or being in vidya

>>377444725
>or you refuse to leave your mom's basement

Don't explain the punchline.

>>377441612
Being gay should be a trait, not a backstory, and it shouldn't quite be a defining trait either. A characters first words to the players shouldn't be "Oh hi I'm gay" or "I lost my *GASP* husband!", gay should be revealed in an off statement and then promptly not brought up again outside of romance specific to that character, if even then.

>>377444560
i have met lots of shitty gays, my boyfriend used to be one of those loud obnoxious fairy fags. he got sick of those people entirely and now he's just a normal feminine guy, minus a slight lisp, but whatever. he was insufferable when we first met, i actually hate fucked him the first time, but then i couldn't stop thinking about him. maybe i should be gassed too.

>>377443037
there are a lot of people that think they need to act like "manly men" because theyre straight. and not like in a "not being a beta numale" kinda way, like over the top lumberjack kind of people. im guessing you dont have a problem with them, though.

and by "majority of the gay population" you mean "people that i notice are gay"

There is a subtle difference, but it makes all the difference in the world.
The point is writing characters that are ALSO gay, not character that are built around their sexuality. I would have no trouble seeing few gay characters in a game (more would be just pandering) if the game didn't tell me LOOK THIS CHARACTER IS GAY, HE IS SO FUCKING GAY, LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE WE ARE
But if you introduce a character sexuality in a realistic way without throwing it at my face, and that character is well written, there are no problems at all

Hysterical - I think a lot of gay dudes tend to have that phase, I know I did. Then again, I hate getting fag hagged and I don't hang around any other gay people unless it's someone I met online and that usually fizzles out pretty quickly, and I came out like four years ago, so I don't know. Maybe it's because I fucking gave up on ever finding a boyfriend and decided to compete in the established market (women)

The rookie years of faggery can be pretty tough, I remember the first time I zoned out and smiled at a straight guy. He looked at me like "what the fuck are you looking at" and I'm like "HAHA WHOOPS RIGHT FORGOT I'M A FUCKING FAGGOT FREAK"

being bi, i have a different perspective obviously, but i never understood why straight guys do that. i don't get why they can't just shrug it off, or be like sorry bro i'm not gay. they always either look disgusted, or get irrationally mad and fly off the handle. a femboy friend i have almost got beat down by some guy at a party because he said he was cute. i had to step in and stop it from happening. people are so ridiculous.

At least you fucks can still get it up for 3D.
I can't even imagine myself hugging anything that isn't some fantasy-only orc/anthro/faceless/monster/alien/whatever man any more. I've accidentally rendered myself completely disgusted by anything human.
And before it goes down that road, no, I wouldn't fuck actual animals. Real life animals are fucking gross and they can't hug you in bed at night and tell you how much they love you while you talk about your day and bury your face against them.
God, I wish I would die and reincarnate in a universe with more sapient races than just "human".

That's because the video game industry is full of shitty writers. Rather than trying to make a nuanced character first and then building their character out to encompass being gay, they make gay their focal point and build out from there. Lots of entertainment writers make this mistake. Yeah, there's flamboyant and horndog gay men out there, but there's also plenty that you wouldn't know are gay because that's not what they put out there as their foremost character trait. I mean, just because I love cock doesn't mean I can't also have a beer down at the pub with a friend and discuss a movie or game or local politics.

>>377450789
You're right, you're clearly beyond rescue (save for suicide)
Lacking and sexual or TRULY romantic feelings for humans is something I can relate to, but outright saying you couldn't even do something as platonic as hugging a human without feeling disgusted is a little overboard.

It's incredible that society gives so much of the soapbox to these demographics when logically - based on their population - nobody should give a shit about them (both the bad and good implications of "giving a shit"), and whatever changes are made to affect them (again, good or bad) are not going to benefit the other 90% in any way at all.

Very misrepresented. They are like less tham 1% of the population but every other vidya toon is a flaming homo.

>>377458716
Yes, but it's only really brought up in Replicant.

During the wedding in Facade, there's a part right before it starts where Emil and Nier are talking. In Gestalt, he asks Nier what his wedding was like. Nier says it isn't important right now, and Emil says "Well I think it's important."

In Replicant, it's a bit different. Emil asks Nier what he'd want in a future bride. Nier responds the same way, while Emil says a line more like "Well it's important to me..."

Pretty subtle, and only brought up once in the whole game. Someone asked Yoko Taro about it and he did confirm that Emil is, in fact, gay.

>>377458716
>>377460682
There's also a quote in Grimoire Nier about it

>How would you define “unusual”, is the question. If we look around, we can definitely see homosexuals, few in number they may be.

It’s simply the way the world works.” They’re labeled with “normal”, “unusual” and compared quite often, but the difference between people with certain sexual preferences lies purely in number. Some are quite abundant, some are not, but we’re all in the same world. I never intended for them to appear as special.
