A gay character/couple would be a bit forced/unnecessary, though it is good to entertain the idea.
So least favorite? Female, Ashrah.. i mean she's essentially sareena with a holy sword. I like the rivalry they were trying to do with Nitara though. Love Sareena, hate copies.
Male? i mean, do mokap, meat, kobra, or moloch even count?

That and Ashrah kinda looked like she had a toilet seat on her head.

But I'm gonna shut up now, because I don't wanna keep this ball rolling any more than anyone else.

MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS MILEENA!

*Hides again*


I am the one who posted at the top of page 11. If you feel I should be skulled for sticking up for members in the community then, so be it. I take nothing back. I said what was on my mind in regard to the bigot and that's that. Maybe I was out of line, but tough shit, I say. It is what it is, my friend.


Dammit, stop responding to meeeee... *Cry*

When people respond to me I always feel uncontrollably compelled to answer them (seriously, I'm weird) and I really don't want to get banned for perpetuating this discussion...

I'm not even trying to support the mean guy! Skull him. I don't care! Good riddance! I just don't believe in double standards. If he deserved skulls for making obscene insults against gays, you do for making obscene insults against him.

I agree with your intent. And I think he was wrong. But however noble your intentions, you sunk to his level.

Please don't respond to me. I really don't want to keep talking, and I can't seem to stop myself. (Again, seriously. I'm weird. Kindof compulsive like that.)

MY OTHER FAVORITE CHARACTER IS NITARA!

@septillion:
Finally.
Someone.
Understands.
Thank you!

I don't like the other copy either, AKA Kira. Who didn't see the possible rivalry between her and Sonya? Because... she wasn't a Black Dragon Sonya. at all.
where would anyone get such a ridiculous idea?

Completely unrelated note, it would be nice to see Rain w/ a bit o' "influence" in him.

Just dont queenify or "Zhang He" him..

Gotta admit, it's interesting to see such a large population of gays here. Maybe it's just the lower population of this forum to that of sites like Shoryuken, but the ratio of gay to straight here seem to be a bit more... lenient then that of the general populous.

I'm straight, for the record. Sorry guys.

It's probably best to not further this discourse, the thread has been awesome for the most part, let's keep the positive momentum going, we've got straight and gay people with common sense posting, no need to dwell on the minority of negative people.

Well this thread had officially blown my mind just on the fact that it seems I'm part of the minority of straight guys on this site and I think that is pretty cool.

I like that we can all talk civilized and just talk about MK without letting things like this get in the way. It just shows we are a strong diverse community.


Agreed, I was expecting there to be major issues and nonsense in this thread, but it's surprisingly been very cordial.


For such a brutal game the fans sure are civilised!


Ha, what can I say, the world is full of contradictions.



On topic: In terms of relationships in game hetero or homo, if they're not heavily developed over a period of literally three-four games, they'd probably feel forced, so unless they whip out some Shelter or Save The Last Dance style romance script writing, it's probably best to just hint at the relationships. If they could handle hetero and homo relationships in an engaging and interesting way, I wouldn't be opposed to either.

I guess when Scorpion throws his spear at SZ it's not a blade at the end but a dildo and it ends up in his mouth and he hanks him back by it? lol jk

As far as people saying there should be a gay character, I mean how would you know about it until the end anyway? fighting games don't spend a lot of time on story, although that is one thing I do love about MK is the people behind it took the time to make a story and give it a mythology, none of the japanese fighting games have a story worth spending a half of a second paying attention to. This MK is going to be like MKvDCU as far as story mode and there won't really be time to explain each fighters personal life when they are trying to save the world. If a character in MK just turned out to be gay during his ending story that's one thing but the story mode can't really have the time eaten up to get that personal with the characters IMO.

If they ever do make a gay character I hope they don't make him a stereotype and have him use pixie dust to teleport or have him dress as 1990's madonna in drag and shooting the cones from the bra as a projectile lol

I think a gay character would be better in a game like GTA where it takes a long time to tell the story and you have a lot of lines of dialogue between characters. The ballad of gay tony add on for GTA4 was really good, they included a gay main character and you played as a str8 guy who was totally cool with his bosses sexuality.

If there was a homosexual MK character, the best way to say he/she's gay is through actions and some dialogue. Try not to make it the main focus, and make it somewhat discrete. The major thing is to not make the character stereotypical.

That's my opinion of course.
