Are most video games protagonists straight? Cuz I have played way more games where the protagonist is mute and doesn’t show sexual interest in anything at all.
Like… Is Gordon Freeman straight? Doom guy? Kirby? Capt. Olimar? Red? The Prince of All Cosmos? 🤔
I’d say that video games have the most asexual representation of all forms of media.
I’m not trans at all, but sometimes I choose to play as a girl just to make real men mad, such as in laser tag (that’s a very obscure TheOdd1sOut reference). The fact that I can’t do that in Pokémon Red, Green (the Japan exclusive one), Blue, Yellow, Gold or Silver is kinda silly.
I usually choose to play as the girl because devs typically make girl characters have much better customization options or just character designs. Not always but has been a trend i noticed a long time ago.
Like choosing outfits or hairstyles.
Theres usually a lot more options to choose from and also your choices usually are more noticeable when you use your character in game.
Im happy that devs seem to like to give lots of beard styles now so that helps me find more options that i like for male characters
I wish all the options were just available to whatever body type you choose instead of being restricted.
Also, forgot to say theres almost never make up choices for male characters. By choosing the female character/bodytype, especially in less fancy games, the way a characters face looks is usually a lot easier to finesse if you dont like the default options you get. And im refering to just basic bone structure/sallowness of face.
A lot of preset male charactures just look lifeless or hungover
The solution is for everyone else to act like school kids and treat the guy like he has a crush and make fun of him. No one likes to be told they’re sitting in a tree.
Incel = involuntary celibate. A person (usually a male) who acts in a way and believes in things which potential romantic partners (usually females) find repulsive. For example, alt-righties, tankies, wannabe rapists, etc.
Incel comes with a certain ideology. They normally believe they are some kind of sub-human, held in that position by women, beta males (men with female partners) and chads (very attractive men with female partners).
They put a huge emphasis on being sexless, kissless, handholdless, etc. and believe all their problems and behaviour issues stem from this problem. That women won’t be their romantic and sex partners.
From there they enter a spectrum of hatred for women. The majority of incels is probably just writing really really awful stuff about women online. But many boast how they “get back” at women in their day-to-day life. Spitting on their food as a waiter, ignoring their female classmates and talk over them in class are two examples I found online.
Some have plans on how to murder women and some already did.
OK thx for the clarification. Yeah with this definition I completely agree with the original comment. Lot of people are toxic against women especially in competitive fps
You added your view of the issue to the definition. In-cel only means involuntary celibate, and there can be many more reasons why someone is, than appearing repulsive to potential romantic partners.
The porn on Lemmy is mostly weird furry stuff and still images of nude women. Most women don’t regularly look at the kind of porn that is prevalent on Lemmy.
I kinda like political statements in my games, and honestly I’m actually fine with fighting a meme war with the super-straights.
Admittedly I’m bi so can enjoy anything but I’m confident queers have enough creativity and talent to create some genuinely amazing narrative gaming experiences. we should be collaborating on open source homoerotic experiences and immersively gay open worlds in a way that puts the corporate friendly triple a studios to shame.
I haven’t been inside any triple a gaming studios but I’ve talked to a lot of catboys and daddydoms online who have decades of experience in the tech industry so I know we have the expertise and intelligence to make it happen if only we can as a community find the will.
I like political statements in my X sometimes, and sometimes I want to use my interest or hobby as an escape from all that shit explicitly. Neither is wrong imo, the only thing I don’t like is when they suddenly switch (most often an apolitical comic or band suddenly releasing a political issue or song, it’s usually not the other way around, and for some reason breaking my escapist immersion irks me more than a political comic suddenly doing some apolitical issue or artist/song), but of course it is their right to do so, as is my right to hold my opinion and not listen to the song or read the issue.
Funny thing about re-volt is that you really are playing as an rc car, not even a person piloting the rc car. Iirc from the lore the cars are sentient.
