The guy has some points. Gay and crossdressing characters are looked at as weird or bad. Video missed Kuja from FF9. He isn't gay but he dresses weirdly and many people say he looks like a girl and some people did not even realize he was boy until it was revealed to them. And he is a villain, very insane willing to destroy the planet so it would not exist without him. Does he count as proof of video games being against crossdressing.

I saw this a while ago and it actually made me notice that Yes its very true and kinda sad...

Even in anime

Look at Hisoka: Evil, lying, cunning, sneaky. Homosexual (Hes not really gay but we all know its implied -.-)

Shiapouf: Evil, Lying, cunning, sneaky. homosexual

That chairman in Blue exorcist

And alot of others that usually play the extremely flamboyant bad guy.

There are some that arent like that tho. But in most cases if you show signs of flamboyancy youre evil.

FF has many characters that are girly looking Lol - & Vaan is the main character.. -check the link on this pic

Kuja was trying to do "good" things though wasn't he? Maybe he was trying to show someone like him could be perceived as "bad" , but still does good things for the betterment of others. I always thought Kuja was a boy.. I think.

I hate all of this stupid homophobic/sexistic-discussions about games lately. Just shut up and stop putting games in any political or social context. It's GAMES and not education or anything else related to the real world. If you can't lean back and enjoy it don't play them.

At the same time, there is the Blue Pegasus Master in Fairy Tail.

It's very clear that he is implied as homosexual (or just that low level cross-dressing) but he isn't a villain and is actually said to be really powerful. There are more things leaning towards what this guy just stated, but yea; there is another example.

Pfff, moralists.

You guys try to push it everytime, don't you?
What's next? Programmers are homophobic? Physicians? Mathematicians? Doctors? Researchers? Scient itself?

Stop trying to find problems where they aren't to be found. Don't push it.

Lol Vaan does look feminine in that picture. FF characters are plagued by their girly faces.

Does it matter?

If gamers hate gays, let them hate gays. Jesus, tired of seeing this bullshit where everyone has to accept gays.

I agree with this. I have not ever seen a video game that just purposefully tries to bash gays etc. Even if there is...SO WHAT.

You can make tons of games bashing short skinny white people, and I would not have a care in the world. People need to stop being so hyper sensitive to every little thing. Live you life as you like, and dont care about what others think of you.

Tolerance is key. I agree about the BS where you have to accept gays, or you are a bigoted homophobic person....(a funny thing is that many people who try to force others to accept homosexual behavior, also complain about religion shoving their beliefs in their face.....when religions at least dont try to force people to agree with them.....

Please by all means tell me even ONE example where a relgious person went around calling people "Jesusphobes", or "Allahphobic", just because people do not agree with them.....

So let others keep hating blacks, others keep hating Jews ok. You know what hatred/non acceptance of Jews led to right? Tolerance needs to be put into our society, you don't have to like gays just leave them alone or treat them with respect and not making them look weird or evil like video games do.

I am gay and in all honesty a character's sexuality does not bother me one bit it is not like I plan on dating a video game character.
