I can guarantee you that the pretend sexuality of the imaginary character you play a game as had no impact on why you got called a fag.
It's like when I called my department chair a faggot. I have no evidence that he's sexually attracted to men (although I'd be willing to bet he takes it in the ass). I called him that because he used the term "white privilege".
What a faggot.
Even if you don't mind the whole... gayness part, protected groups are written in a very limited way now. A gay character who has any real flaws is going to generate HUGE scandals. And I don't even mean them being evil (which should be allowed as well), just having actual conflicts.
But then, what can be interesting about them? We can't forever bank on "the first openly gay character" forever, we have reached the point where gay is nothing special.
But dynamic writing NEEDS conflict, there need to be issues, hardships, development can only happen if something is lacking at the beginning. But that's not possible if every gay character still has to be "good representation". Not good writing, but a flattering thing.
They got so mad when Dahmer got correctly tagged as LGBT.
Well, even on the reddit Kia2, we used to have a gay guy who kept saying that gayness disappears if you are a pedophile or something else sick. Like sure, maybe you are a gay man who is exclusively into little boys, but that means you are a pedo and NOT gay.
Is he that whiny little bitch who asks what's wrong with being gay every time someone posts a thread about a piece of media getting gaywashed? I once corrected him in a tongue in cheek way and he got pissy with me because he "didn't need to be corrected". It had the effect of defending a troon because of course it did.
Isn't it that same tard that constantly talked about his "marriage" while also writing fantasies about fucking other men
Dunno if he did. But he got majorly butthurt if you said anything negative about anyone or anything gay. Like he was full of excuses.
He also sometimes went on weird tangents about how straight men actually want to fuck gays or some shit. He was a tard.
it's funny how many times hollywood was 'inspired' by ed gein, but they never talk about him directly...
This dude fucks.
"Scientific American"
Both words in the publication name are a lie.
Article is filed under "diversity" so yet another reason to disregard ANYTHING it says.
Used to be such a good periodical too.
They took an impressively sharp nose dive around the time Bathhouse Barry and Big Mike came to power.
And no straight male wants to play pretend as a cocksucker.
Then make your own gaming company faggot.
Overwatch was popular, in 2016. It also notoriously fleeced customers by forcing them to by cosmetic “loot boxes” and gamble for skins. Also, at 1 billion it is one of Blizzards least successful franchises…
Pandering once sales and repeat players tanked, shocking…
Yeah because Zarya, the pink haired Russian powerlifter was totally straight…
BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS ARE STRAIGHT MEN
This fag is supposedly a professor but can’t figure out why straight men don’t want to larp as a buttpirate? Yet we need more diverse representation because why?
I don't know ow meta but isn't solider 76 kinda meh in comparison to other assault heroes? So so heals and so so dps with decent ult that autoaims with his so so weapon.
He was made to be the boring choice that can kinda do most stuff just fine. Like one of his ability slots was literally just a sprint. Anyone with skill in any form can find a better performance character to maximize their niche.
He wasn't ever popular even on release.
He’s a decent mid, but vastly outperformed by anyone that can crit, at least when I played, then again I was a Mei and Reinhardt main because every kill was a work of pure hilarity
76 was an original character so he hasn't really been meta for a long time.
Didn't like him because he is the generic soldier type, not because he likes it up the ass.
Degenerate behavior shouldn't be promoted. It's as simple as that. Faggots should go back in the closet. The nuclear family (husband, wife, 2-3 children) is the bedrock of a functioning society.
Hence the left wanting to destroy it. As they have been trying to do literally for decades…
That is their biggest thing. Literally. Trying to collapse that in whatever way they can…
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I never touched that dumpster fire, but wasn't Tracer ridiculously OP?
It's like saying Fortnite players are feminist because the Arena players use female skins to have more screen space not taken up by their characters. (Yes, this is really a thing.)
Or like saying that Apex players are pro "non-binary" crap for picking the robot.
Or Forza Horizon players like EVs because the Raesr Tachyon released so incredibly broken that everyone used it. Side note, this is why the Nio EP9 was so shit, because they didn't ever want a repeat of this fucking meme.

I predicted very early on that leftist developers would resort to intentionally overpowering female, non-white, and gay and tranny characters in order to manufacture approval for “diversity” among competitive gamers.
And when they finally get their 90%~ female roster and have to give you a male option, it'll be the weakest one, nearly unusable, like the joke characters in old fighting games.
The perk spread in set character options have been abundantly clear on this trend. Battlefield 2042 forced you to play as a non-binary black wahman if you wanted a direct assault character.
They really are playing dirty. Everything they do is dirty tricks to force their agenda.
I remember the President of DICE (Marie Bustgaard) shared a post on Twitter calling for mandatory vasectomies for teenage boys.

I wish EA would shutter it. I'd forgive them for the WSL in FIFA, the Apex Legends shitpile and all their greedy practices.
Same hara-kiri isn’t an allowed social practice, we could petition mass funding to EA if their degenerate subversives all committed suicide for their massive economic failures.
How satisfying it will be to play the underpowered male and still kick the shit of all the fags playing feminists.
It's like the 12 year old that one-quarters the adult that's been taking lunch money at the MK2 machine and proceeds to Babality him.
You leave my incredibly broken MK2/MK3 arcade Shang alone.
Jeff Kaplan the secretly gay guy who recently left said they use Tracer as a base for character balancing. She's almost always "good" - like B - A tier in ANY meta no matter how balanced or unbalanced the other characters are. The fact this idiot doesn't even know about how the actual game plays or the meta around it goes to show how little this fucker knows about the game nor does he actually play.
Tracer is a pain in the ass to kill because she's quick, she hits hard, can teleport to confuse you, etc.
She's also one of the main mascots for the game in advertising.
What? I knew of him from World of Warcraft, and his Everquest character "Tigole" as in "Tigole Bitties" as in "Big ole titties."
Also pretty sure he's married.
Wouldn't robots be quite literally binary?
Why is that a surprise?
For years we heard that it is important to have gay / female characters, because gay/female players cannot identify with the "straight white male" main character.
So why is there a surprise - if you believe this - that straight white male players now are not able to identify with such characters?
Instead they're attracted to (lipstick) lesbians.

Because they're hot. Gee.
and are as rare as unicorns
Was hoping for lipstick lesbians. Got article written by a fag. Dammit.
Why is this a shock? Most gamers are straight males. Now I know some prefer to play as females because it’s better to look at a female but generally few will play as a gay character. Similar to the fact that I’d never watch something with a gay/lesbian romantic subplot. I’d rather see male/female of there is a romantic aspect. I don’t think that is strange
I’d go one step beyond that. If you need to shove it in my face the main character likes the beenis I simply won’t buy it or even pirate it.
I'm in the exact same boat... with ALL media like that.
Yeah, I completely agree.
When I was really into games (a decade+ ago), the main player’s sexuality was essentially never brought up in the games I played. Ever. With the exception of like, 2 games I can think of (where it is implied that the main character shags the female. That is all).
If I am playing the vast, vast majority of these games, I generally don’t want to hear about what proclivities the character has, twink-y or otherwise…
Yep. I honestly just can’t imagine how it would be of any benefit to a game knowing that a character is gay… I mean unless you play a dating sim? At that point you’re pretty much admitting you’re a faggot anyway.
Gay characters are a new phenomenon and shouldn't exist in the first place.
wow who would have thought no one wants to vicariously be a faggot
Lame ass overwatch had a tournament only for LGBT and LGBT supporters lol. Imagine if you had a tournament of whites only and white supporters..
Also.. players been calling each other faggots for decades and will continue to. Also... blizzards gonna ban a lot of black players via voice transcribing because a lot of black people say nigga and faggot a lot.
Jokes on you everyones a tranny/faggot in Overwatch.
Upvote for thread title alone.
I liked such games when it was evidence that a game company was brave and daring, because most gamers did not like it.
Now that it has become orthodoxy, it repels me.
Because most of the time it feels like they are just planted in and its a case of "look at our diverse cast, we now have a gay character!" It doesn't feel organic
The last time it felt organic that I can remember was with two characters in the same game, Veronica Santangelo and Corporal Betsy from Fallout new Vegas as it fed into the story than simply be a "oh and I'm gay"
Man, I may be in the minority, but I miss the days where the main character’s sexual orientation generally didn’t matter…
There are exceptions, certainly (RPGs, generally. Or like, The Sims), but if I’m playing an FPS, Strategy or the vast majority of games, I really, really don’t want to know the details of my character’s orientation.
Fuck that shit.
The sex of the character I play is completely up to what I feel like playing. And I don't give two shits about romance in games*; I just started a male Shepard in Mass Effect because I don't plan to bother with the romance crap I heard about. (unless, of course, there's some relevancy, or you have to do a dating thing, but I haven't played any dating-type games.)
I once made a waify, skinny little female redhead blood elf warrior because it was funny for a while.
And it irks me that in certain games, all the choices for female characters are either garbage or gay/bi (lookin at you, FO4). No, I don't want my straight female character fucking a faggot.
Don't like all video gamers want to fuck anime children?
no, it's just you
and you
oh man you totally pwned me there. don't know how I'll recover
It's ok, I'll hold you
You mean the DIE initiative? It's all of CDP in general, not just CDPR.
