I'm fairly sure half of these guys either know they're gay or don't care.

Officially none of them is gay. I only picked characters on wich that applies.

Posted: Dec 22 2012 09:15 pm

I skimmed through this list. Mildly funny.

I had fun writing it. I still think it is hilarious if i read through it. But yeah, that is my oppinion.
I wasn't quite sure if anyone of this forum besides me will think it is funny. Well, i guess you being mildly entertained is better than you being not entertained at all. I'm only trying anyways.

God. Daisy is not the equivalent to Peach, she is an alternative. She appears first in Super Mario Land in wich she gets saved by Mario. She is by no means Luigis lover or whatever you will call it.

I thought Kanji from Persona 4 actually was bisexual, though, not that he just didn't know it yet.

I'm trying to think of positive LGBT characters from video games (there aren't many). Ike from Fire Emblem & Smash Bros. is one. Jeff's best friend from Earthbound (I can't remember his name) is another, as well as Ginger from The Path. That's really all I can think of. Joshua from The World Ends With You is definitely gay, though whether or not he's a "positive" example depends on your interpretation. At least his group-attack magic is pretty powerful. Surprised

gender identity =/= gay. Probably the worst attempt at "trying-to-be-Syd-but-missing-the-point" thing I've seen in a while.

Only other gay characters I can think of (done well at least) were Hammerlock and various others from the Borderlands universe.

This list is not very funny and borderline offensive. Shoulda quit while you were ahead on the list stuff.

His name is Tony. The creator of the series, Shigesato Itoi confirmed this, by the way.

And speaking of EarthBound/MOTHER, the Magypsies in MOTHER 3 are possibly the gayest characters I have seen in a video game.

It's not nearly a bit as offensive as any Southpark scene ever written and you like Southpark. It was also not my intention to be offensive but i see why it comes off as it a little. I think is it funny overall.
Thanks for the critic by the way. IF i will write any list after this one, i will chose my words more wisely.

@GregTheWhite: Yeah, because Syd has the monopol on funny video game lists on the internet. Nice one.
And considering that i never did something like that before, it is damn good attempt.

Agreeing with Usa here.
Naoto is transgender, which is an issue of gender instead of sexuality. She (a term I only use because she never transitions into a male, barring the leading in to dealing with her Shadow) is also my favorite character in the game.

And Poison is a "new half" or hermaphrodite according to the original materials.

If you want a fictional character, which word of God declares to be gay but unaware of it, there's Lexington from Gargoyles.

I thought i made clear that i'm accusing videogame characters of being gay. That was the whole idea of the list. I know there are some gay videogame character but i thought it would be more fun this way, so i could use more of my imagination on it.
I will also write another list. I will try to be funnier on a more subtle way with it. I will also choose a topic wich is not as sensetive as this one.
I already have a good idea.

Oh and believe it or not sathien, Naoto is my favorite P4 character too.

I don't like everything South Park does.

Also, Trey Parker and Matt Stone know how to be funny and know how to do effective satire. You do not.

I mean, there's no jokes here. An effeminate picture of Luigi? Snake grabbing someone's junk? Tingle? Come on.

Right. I'd rather watch South Park than read this thread.

This list is fine, you don't have to force humor on it though. Just throw up a list and have us discuss it.

Posted: Dec 23 2012 01:57 pm

All I see is some grumpy motherfuckers trying to suck the life out of this thread and the forums as a whole by shitting on other people with good intentions. Lighten up, this post is only offensive if you take life too seriously. Can't we all just have some fun around here?

Oh, no. Don't try to turn this into "Oh come on, at least he's posting something, otherwise this place is dead". This is crap. And I'll call crap crap when I see it. I'm not calling it out because "OMG da gayz will complain!". I'm calling it out because it sucks. That's far more offensive to me than some gay jokes.

If it was funny and offensive, then yeah, you can get away with that. But if you're not funny, being offensive just makes it worse.

You might not agree with it, but it's true. Bad threads are threads nonetheless, and they are sparking conversation, good or bad, and that's more than any of us, you included, are doing. Do I think some of it is offensive. Maybe. Do I want him to stop contributing to the forums or making an effort to spark conversation, no matter how dumb? Absolutely not.

That is the plan.

@atomjacked: Gracias, dude. Much appreciated.

@Usa: Just wait till i put up the next list. Your critic is appreciated by me and will be considered in the next one i will put.

My response to all the upset in this thread

Posted: Dec 23 2012 10:47 pm

Can we at least have a discussion about LGBT characters in video games? Bleating and Babbling

Posted: Dec 23 2012 11:16 pm

Best LGBT character is (spoiler) in Catherine.

Posted: Dec 23 2012 11:26 pm

As i stated before i think Naoto is a great LGBT character. She is just cute in her on quirky way. I also like the whole detective thing about her and that she is some kind of prodigy with a really fast mind.

It is also funny that Birdo is actually a LBGT character. Probably the first one in gaming.

There is also that witch from Paper Mario that is gender confused. But i forgot her/his name.
