You don't even know what your talking about friend lol.

"He's here, he's queer...get used to it."

Couldn't bring myself to read through all of this shitstorm, but has anyone mentioned Kung Jin's intro with Mileena? Something about "You're not really my type."

I can dig it. I always said should they ever include a gay character, their orientation should NOT be the driving force behind them. Nicely done, NRS.

I think it being subtle was great. Now I am not saying homosexuals should be secretive about what they like or anything, but I think this way seems more realistic, it seemed real, not fake or forced in for the sake of being in there.. If they made Kung Jin like Greg and Terry from American Dad , that would have almost felt like a joke because its so stereotypical.

I think NRS did good, they didn't force it in , they didn't base him off stereotypes and it didn't feel like a parody/joke, so kudos to them.

Actually, it had to do with Zoe Quinn sleeping around with reviewers to earn favoritism for her game, and then not only does she turn it into some "men hate women" bullshit, but she sits there and attacks people for finding nude pictures of her online, when she paid money to have said nude pictures taken and publicly published.

It's called "being called out, and then warping it into something it isn't to avoid admitting you fucked up".

Has anybody seen the intro Kung Jin has with Goro?

From what people say it goes like this:

KJ: Hey there 5 arms.
Goto: I don't understand I only have 4.
KJ: Then what's that between your legs?

I dunno if it's real or not, but it's kind of an unexpected intro.

I also like the Mileena intro, but I wish it went something more akin to:
Kung Jin: "You're not really my type...especially with those teeth."

Also apparently there's an intro with Kung Jin and Liu Kang that suggests that LK may not all to happy with Kung Jins preference.
I don't know exactly how it goes, but something like Liu Kang says he knows about KJ and KJ sarcastically says Thanks for making me feel accepted. I doubt it has to do with KJ being gay, but about his thievery. But people are interpreting it as LK not being acceptive.

I know I'm in the minority here ,but being gay myself, I want to know a lot more about his sexuality. Like is he out? Do any of the other characters, besides Raiden know? How do they feel about it? He ran away because he self loathes and felt he wouldn't be accepted. That's pretty big.
I hope they address it in the web series or comic. I know most are like " God no more gay shit, one line is enough" but I dunno I think it'd be interesting to explore.

Of course Liu knows, he's dead. Dead people know everything about us. Sick bastards.

I'm not even gay and I kind of hope they delve into it a little more, its a perfect way to develop his character and give him an actual identity and make the player care about the character. Obviously the same could be said for any character regardless if they're gay or not but I am a sucker for character flashbacks, learning about them, their pasts, and their struggles, etc. :)

Not even that, The zoe post and five guys and fries things were talking about her sleeping around. Gamergate came after decision of this topic was being shut down on multiple forums. After this we questioned if there was colusion between the forums, gaming news sites. This is when we discovered the games journo pros. hang out were journos would get together and decide what to run and what not to run on game news sites. Since twitter was the only place not deleting things we talked there. Then Actor Adam Baldwin saw it and coined the term Gamergate. That was 8 months ago today.
Vivia la Vidya.
ps. Kung Jin is cool beans homie.

That Goro exchange is incredible.

I haven't heard the Goro one yet, but the Liu Kang and Kung Jin one is:

KJ: You never could accept me.
LK: I am aware of your proclivities.
KJ: Wow, thanks for the reassurance.

Pretty sure that's something from /mkx/ lol

/mkx/ Kung Jin has a thing for male monsters.

You mean "MKXXX"?

In those generals?

Sometimes, yeah.

^^^^^

All of the this.

Read it again and again.

Is that real? Wow, LK

Liu a dick lol

Not sure if anyone has posted this:

Intro between Liu Kang and Kung Jin is real:

Match

Also, after winning the first round: you're not Kung Lao. DICK!

We've heard zilch about the web series Since the casting leak

As for the link KJ didn't strike me as in the closet. I thought he was fairly open about it but didn't go to the Shaolin because he felt he wouldn't be accepted and so never bothered. The self loathing thing I also took to mean about being in Kung Lao's shadow and not being good enough or living up to expectations.

But it's open to interpretation. Y'know because subtlety.

If you kept reading, you might have discovered that my initial statement was followed by a series of questions meant to elaborate on it, such as:


Seeing as you are evidently much more qualified to speak on behalf of the entire community than I am, you're most certainly welcome to address them.


Name some that aren't caricatured stereotypes.


The point is that this kind of behavior is not something even gay people would necessarily consider normal, because that's not what the majority of them act like.

Coincidentally, there appear to be some other people in this very thread who can personally attest to the fact that not all gay people act like that, and that in the vast majority of cases, you wouldn't be able to tell they're gay at a glance, which, anecdotal though it may be, does serve to corroborate my earlier statements.

I freely admit that you appear to be much more authoritative on the subject, though.

Do feel free to prove us wrong.


Nope.

I do happen to be a slav, though.

And off the top of my head, I can think of very, very few portrayals of Russians in US-produced media that are non-stereotypical or at least positive in any way. Aside from the Cherno Alfa crew in Pacific Rim, nothing in recent memory really springs to mind.

So I think gays might actually have a better track record there, for what it's worth.


So you're essentially telling me there are many (how many is "many"?) LGBT people out there that are entirely comfortable with the idea of being represented by a gay equivalent of blackface.

...I have nothing more to add, then.


I feel that "don't be an asshole" and "consider of the consequences of your actions" are generally good rules to go by in life regardless of who you are. But these days, this incredibly inflammatory and controversial statement apparently makes me an evil oppressor.

Let's recap, shall we?

>a person acts like an asshole
>gets told to stop acting like an asshole
>depending on who you tell it to, DAS RAYCISS/SECKSISS/whatevers


I know that you pulled "stop being so defensive you silly nerds, I'm just being an enlightened contrarian because psychology research or some shit" card before, back when we both seemed to agree that identity politics is cancer that destroys fan communities. I gave you the benefit of doubt then.

But now that you came within an inch of deliberately invoking the "racism = prejudice + power" nonsense, which is straight out of the intersectionality theory/identity politics rhetoric, I am seriously questioning just how genuine you've been this entire time.




Just like last time we've had this conversation, I think this is what it ultimately boils down to.


If the only choices offered to me are looking like a paranoid asshole and standing idly by as SJWs slowly infest and subvert a community I've been a part of for almost a decade (and I've seen it enough times to know that's how it always starts, little by little), I think I'd rather go with the "paranoid asshole" option, thank you.


Daily reminder:

If you don’t have a gay character in your game, you are homophobic.
If you do have gay character in your game, you are homophobic, because they don’t like the character.
If women in your game look good, you are sexist.
If they look bad, you are sexist.
If you can fight with them, you are misogynistic.
If you can’t fight with them, you are using them as objects.
If you don’t have any women, because there is no correct way how to have them, you are misogynistic.


I can relate to fucking D'Vorah, and I'm neither a girl nor an insectile freakazoid. Am I seriously the only one who doesn't feel the need to project myself onto a character in order to be able to relate to them?

There's just something incredibly... juvenile about that.

It's like back in the 80s, when they kept shoehorning kid characters into stories that originally had nothing to do with them, just so they could be a stand-in for all the preschoolers in the audience.

Remember these little shits?





Yeah, it's that.




Opening your eyes generally helps:

>NOT GAY ENOUGH

>WE NEED DO GO GAYER

Also


I'm sorry, I'm still having trouble getting over the fact that fucking Dorian of all people is being used a positive example for anything.

And then there's this little number:


oh my

I wonder who this MikeyRu person is...


So no, certainly no one here in favor of forcing flamboyant gay horndogs into the game, no sir!




Both a hypothetical turboslut and a hypothetical lisping gay stereotype are immediately in my face about who they fuck as soon as I'm introduced to them, so I automatically assume that's what defines them as a person.

I'm not sure what about that analogy was so hard to grasp.


Why not make Shredder a child molester? Y'know, give a little shout-out to the childlove community?
And while we're at it, why not transmogrify April into a giant spider creature? Y'know, shake up her character a bit?

I mean, as long as your entire justification for doing things is "why not?", amirite?


I'm also sure that the target audience of TMNT (hint: it's middleschoolers) will respond positively to every single one of these changes.


I lurk on Russian MK boards occasionally.

The overall reception of Kung Jin is a lot more positive than you might expect. For much the same reasons you see here - he doesn't act like a Bioware character.


Why "social" justice, though?

What's wrong with regular justice?

Is that like a "People's Democracy" thing? :^)


SJWs love Muslims, though. They never criticize them for anything and are always the first ones to jump to their defense no matter what the circumstances are.

Not to mention that, y'know, advocating for women's rights in Fundamentalist Islamic countries generally requires getting your ass off of twitter and doing something that's actually tangible. You might even get hurt or worse - triggerred.
We can't have that.


I'm pretty sure that's what they proudly call themselves, brah.

No really does anyone find it weird we haven't heard anything about that webseries?

loll, homo threads always happen to be the most posted/viewed threads on mko...

Comparing homosexuality to pedophilia. Yup. This is the same old MKO.

Wow, that was terrible.

That's just embarrassing...
