Lol @ ladyboy jade

Nobody has mentioned the cutest gay couple yet
Drahmin and moloch

I don't Baraka buys Ho's....I think he gets free rides by intimidation, and THEN he kills them. That's just how it's down in outworld :P

This isn't me being "homophobic" are anything ("fear of the same"?), but I don't really see many homosexual characteristics in any of the characters at all. That being said, any one of them could be gay, straight, bi, or non-sexual. I can kinda see where people are coming from with Smoke, but I still don't think that makes him gay. Sonya as a lesbian? I could see that, but I do think she shows some affection toward Johnny in several scenes in story mode. I could totally see Sheeva as a lesbian though.

As for the characters people say are gay bc of how close they are to another character of the same sex...that's such a trite fallacy...two (or more) people can be best friends and even attached at the hip and still have no sexual or romantic interest in each other. I know this from experience. I'm a straight man, and my best friend is a straight girl, but I'm closer to her than any of my own family. She's like a sister. I think the same goes for Smoke/Sub-Zero and Liu Kang/Kung Lao. And as for Raiden, he's the protector of Earthrealm...it would make sense that he cares for its inhabitants, regardless of their gender.

I lol'd when I got to Raiden haha..Of all characters.."Gay!"

Jax is straight because he's masculine and an alpha male? What kind of BS is that? There are tons of masculine, alpha males who are 100% gay men. I think he's straight, but still, that's a really offensive stereotype there pal.

Also, a character showing that they care about another character doesn't mean it's a romantic thing. Raiden caring about LK for example. People can have relationships and care about each other without it being romantic or sexual.

As far as who's gay, for me the only obvious choice is Sonya. Thus far in the entire series, she's always turned down every offer and flirtation from a man and she shows no interest in men. So in my book, Sonya is a lesbian.

Kitana and Mileena could be in the spectrum of bisexuality, considering their kissing moves against other female characters, and the sensuality and flirtation they have regardless of the gender of their opponent. The people in their realm might not even think about the definitions of sexuality.

As much as I'd like there to be a gay male character, I can't think of even a glimmer of evidence to finger anyone.......no pun intended.

Actually, when you're 10,000 years old and come from a realm where all the women (seemingly) look like super models even when they're older than dirt, it would be kinda hard to NOT at least experiment sometime...

My answers are in BOLD...

Baraka - Well, almost all the other Tarkaton's are men, Mileena being a rare exception. Baraka commands that army so its not like he has time to go out on a date or cruise chicks in Edenia, or maybe he just pays prostitutes. VERDICT: Undecided, but certainty questionable.

I don't think the Tarkatans have that many sexual urges, but if they do, they probably rape all the women they encounter in war before killing them, much like vikings did. But specifically Baraka could have a very physical relationship with Mileena. So I think he is definately straight.

Cyrax - I think there are females in the Lin Kuie, we know that for sure there were females in the Mugai Ryu, and the Lin Kuie already had frost. Cyrax and Sektor certaintly didnt have any love for each other, and now Cyrax is a robot so he doesnt need sex. VERDICT: Straight Robot.

You make it sound like the Lin Kuei is so secluded that they aren't allowed to be amongst other people. Scorpion had a wife and child, I'm sure the Lin Kuei members are free to get some booty whenever they feel the need to it. Of course, after the automation, I doubt Cyrax would have any sexual urges left.

Ermac - Ermac is a manifestation of souls, I dont think he has sexual urges. VERDICT: Ermac doesnt have sex.

This I agree on.

Jade - Jade is a curious case. She has amazonian features and is rumored to be Brazilian. Brazil has a disporpotionate transexual culture. VERDICT: I think Jade is a ladyboy.

This I DO NOT agree on! You deserve a kick in the balls for this statement!!! Jade is EDENIAN! Not Brazilian or any other ethnicity that belongs to Earth!

Jax - Jax has straight up alpha male characteristics, and a clear dedication to Sonya. VERDICT: Definitely Straight.

Gay men can also be alpha males. His dedication to Sonya is strictly professional and says nothing about his sexuality.

Johnny Cage-Also has a love for Sonya. VERDICT: Straight.

This I agree with.

Kabal- Kabal brought Kira into the Black Dragon for a reason. VERDICT:Straight.

*facepalm* Kabal recruited Kira for her killing intent, not for sex. And I doubt Kira would touch Kabal in such a way, unless it was to gain something from him.

Kano- Hmm full beard, furry chest, Biker boots. Kano at first seems to have some bearish things happening. However he is also a psychopath and I think he gets some sick sexual fix out of tormenting Sonya. VERDICT: Straight.

Someone in another thread mentioned that Kano has that bi-vibe about him, and I agree with that.

Kitana-Obvious love affair with Liu Kang. VERDICT: Straight.

Agreed.

Kratos-Maybe in God of War he was something else, but hes gay in Mortal Kombat. VERDICT: Situationally gay.

... What? Kratos is the essence of every straight man, and in no point of his guest appearance in MK has he shown to be gay, so I completely disagree with this!

Kung Lao-I think that Kung Lao is very close to Liu Kang and shows no interest in Kitana or Sonya at all. VERDICT: Gay.

Kung Lao sees Liu Kang as a friend and rival, but maybe he's experimental on his sexuality. Being a dedicated Shaolin Monk, I think he might be celibate and therefore doesn't follow any love interest.

Liu Kang-Like I just said, I think Kung Lao and Liu are very very close, and I think that Liu genuinely likes Kitana as well. VERDICT: Bisexual

No, Liu Kang is definately straight. Just the way he eyes Kitana - and never eyes Kung Lao - should be proof enough.

Mileena-Mileena is just full of raw sexual energy. VERDICT:Nymphomaniac.

This is quite plausible, but I like to believe she gets her satisfaction from Baraka.

Nightwolf-He's a shaman, and most religious figures take a vow of abstinence. VERDICT: Pure.

Agreed.

Noob Saibot- If I follow the insanity that is the storyline. Noob Saibot is a ghost. VERDICT: Ghost.

Ghost is not really a sexuality. XD

Quan Chi-All his connections in the game are men, and Scorpion is his personal bitch. VERDICT: Gay

As mentioned above, Quan Chi has many female assassins, all scantily clad and some of them probably satisfying his sexual urges. If anything, Quan Chi might be bisexual. Also, Scorpion is not gay.

Raiden -He shows more feeling for Liu Kang than anyone else, and he is a GOD he could choose any mate he wanted. VERDICT: Gay

The feelings he show Liu Kang is that as a friend and mentor. I doubt Raiden is gay...

Reptile- When your not a human, not an animal, and cant talk your options are pretty limited. VERDICT: Virgin

Reptile and Khameleon seems to have a canon relationship in between MKT and MK4, and since Khameleon is female, I'd say Reptile is straight.

Scorpion - Quan Chi's Bitch. VERDICT: Gay

Scorpion had a wife and son whom he loves and wants to avenge. Therefore, he is straight. D'UHH!!!

Sektor- See Cyrax. VERDICT: Straight

Yes, also look at my comment about Cyrax for this one.

Shang Tsung - Binded his soul to Shao Kahn. VERDICT: Gay

He bound his soul to Shao Kahn to gain more power, not because he wants a gay relationship with him. *facepalm*

Sheeva - Sheeva's only options are Goro and Kintaro. VERDICT: Straight.

Again, you make it sound like the MK characters only have eachother to choose from. Sheeva seems very dominant and masculine, yet is clad quite sexually, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was a lesbian. I couldn't see Sheeva being pregnant and act as a mother.

Sindel - Sindel mothered Kitana. I dont think it was an adoption scenario, so there must have been a man involved. VERDICT: Straight.

And you couldn't be this reasonable with Scorpion? Sheesh...

Smoke - The hair says it all. "Where there's smoke there is FLAMING. VERDICT: Very Gay

"... Fire"... He says FIRE! Though I question Smoke's sexuality, I at least base my doubts on something that actually happens in the game!

Sonya - Sonya has both Jax and Johnny Cage wanting some action yet shows no interest in either of them, and is constantly trying to avenge her "partenor". VERDICT: Lesbian

Sonya could indeed be lesbian, but I don't think that's the case with her. Being a hardcore military woman doesn't seem to affect her respect for men, and she obviously has men in her life who she cares alot for. Though I'm not agreeing with it, I do think that Cage spawns a love/hate relationship.

Stryker - Officer Nasty himself. Reminds me a lot of Robert Halford and we all know how that turned out. VERDICT: Gay

A part of me wants Stryker to be gay, but nothing about him suggests that he is. Then again, nothing about him suggests that he is definately straight either.

Sub-Zero - Sub Zero freezes anything he touches. VERDICT: Virgin

Which one of them are we talking about? The elder or younger brother? The elder brother seems to like the ladies, as shown in Mythologies, but the younger brother might have something going on with Smoke. But a virgin? I doubt it.

Shao Kahn - It was well established that no ass is safe from Kahns Wrath. VERDICT: Kahn can have sex with a man, but its not because he is gay, its because he is bored with all the women.

Shao Kahn took Sindel as his wife and he has slave girls... He doesn't appear to have any men as slaves, and if he was gay or wanted to fuck with men, he would definately have some. So I see him as straight.

I don’t think Sonya is a lesbian, in the first six games (MK, MKII, MKIII, UMK3, MKT, MK4) she was the most feminine female of the series. Its only when MK:DA came out she became a little tough and as some people like to classify as more “Butch”, I think this stemmed from the horrible job they did on her model and very squareangular jaw she was given. From then on she looked like a full on transvestite in MKvs DC and in now in the latest game they have softened her features a little, but they still haven’t got the face right.

After further thought the same applies to the rest of the women but not on the same scale as Sonya, for example Jade unmasked looks like a thai ladyboys, the same applies to Kitana and Sindel’s select screen icon is just awful.

As far as Sonya’s sexuality although arguably you have three men chasing after her affection Johnny, Jax and Kano ( I agree that Kano is sexually infatuated with her, he gets some sick sadistic pleasure from tormenting her). However I don’t think Sonya’s lack of interest is because she’s a lesbian, she just a pro and takes her responsibilities very seriously. Plus I think she considers Jax more of a brother rather than a sexual partner and Kano is just a murderous psychopath. With Johnny although I personally am not for a relationship between them, I do have to admit she did warm to him towards the end of the game.

Easy now, the whole thread is just a fun joke. I'm fully aware that a gay man can be an alpha male, but Jax clearly has his eyes on Sonya, and in the movie he hits on everybody. "Nice legs... for kicking I mean."

Its just a joke man, nothing to get upset about. I'm a straight ally :D.

Heheheh.

I guess this is what happens when everything that was supposed to be unlocked in the game was already discovered.

No more krypt items, no more secret characters, no DLC yet, not more unlockable characters.

A 1000 threads discussing story mode (why people like it, hate it, loathe it, love it, or what if scenarios), threads speculating MK10, threads speculating what happened to beloved characters, etc.

What's left?

Let's discuss the sexuality of the characters! lol

?

Victory pose, not really, but fatality?

When I'm really horny, I don't rip peoples skin off and pull there arms off and shit.

I'm also pretty sure there are more Shokan then just the ones playable in this game, so I'm sure both Sheeva and Kintaro have many options


P.S. Goro has, like, 7 wives.

People who argue with or not Smoke is gay, he is totally flaming as Zero has pointed out numerous times lol. And with Noob, who knows, maybe he could be one of those rapist ghosts? >.<

How feminine or masculine someone is doesn't necessarily dictate their sexual orientation. Saying that she was the most feminine in the beginning is false though, she was actually always a tough woman from conception. I mean look at her character art for MK1 era.

[img]http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/sonya-mk1.jpg[/img]

With Sonya, it's not that she's a tough military leader, it's that she not only turns away all male suiters and their flirtations, she actually seems repulsed by it all and is completely disinterested.

Plus, my fictional character gaydar is top notch, lmao. She screams lesbian to me.

You dont? ... So its just me

What male suitors? The only one is Johnny Cage and she's repulsed by him because he's a smarmy asshole!

First of all

Sonya-Lesbian

Second, I agree with most of the things you are saying (as far as brushing of some stereotypes go)

My brother is one of the gayest straight people you will ever meet, but that is because he isn't all that masculine. (at all)

Also, what you said about Jax in that last post, I agree.

I knew a big guy, deep voice, mans man, wore suits acted like he was in the CIA.. Completely gay.

Just because Jax is like you say he is, does not make him Straight *(Granted, I still think he is, but not for those reasons)

QFT. Every other chick in the game would have done the same thing.
...Well, maybe not Mileena. lol

I don't think Sonya is a lesbian.

She's bitter out of pain. The loss of her father and the loss of her partner have placed her in a bubble, more or less. She doesn't want to connect with people, because she fears losing them. Thus, she won't try to connect with Johnny or really anyone besides Jax, who she is already close to.

And obviously, her intuition was right. Whether we're talking her arcade ending or the story ending, it ends with 95% of her friends and allies dying, which leads her to depression. Had she never opened up, she would have never felt heart broken over their loss. However, she doesn't realize that that emotion connection is a strength, and not a weakness.

She's not reluctant towards men. She's reluctant toward everyone. Granted, I'm not saying there is no way she is gay, but saying that her reluctance toward Johnny or any other male is a key sign of her homosexuality is a bit invalid considering who she is.

It's better to love and feel pain in your heart, than hate and never feel another emotion again.



Sorry for the cheese.

No need to apologize, it was beautiful.

Totally agree with Insider2000, and very well said! I don’t think Queve could have said it any better! Sonya has been like this since the beginning of Mortal Kombat and they did reflect this to an extent in the Mortal Kombat movie, she never relied on anybody but herself because she was afraid too. The fear of losing a loved one is what drove her to being cold and distant, that’s why although I hated her ending for the game, I realized that her worst nightmare came to life and her reaction was true to who sonya really is.

Again kudos to insider2000.

If a character is somewhat "fruity" (pardon the expression) or "tough" (in terms of girls) and it's a kind of "default" of sexuality. You guys would consider me gay and would also consider my wife as a lesbian because of our traits.

Traits don't mean anything, at all. I love wearing pink, purple and other supposedly girly colors, I hate sports, I hate soccer, I hate a lot of stuff considered "manly". My wife is a total tomboy, tough as a rock, but pretty nonetheless.

Judging these characters sexual orientation based on personality traits is a shallow way to analyze things.

Agreed, many, many kudos. :)
Sonya's so lonely, you just wanna give her a big hug!...And get an open invitation to getting ripped in half by her super strong legs.

Ill say it again, the thread is not serious at all.

^^Just in case, you may wanna put that in the thread title. Not everybody reads posts all the way through, I'm sure.
