Making AIDS jokes about gay men is pretty hateful!

No it's not settle down.

All the Mortal Kombat kharakters are epik. Gay or hetero or bi or nothing.

Why are you guys having panik attacks over Kung Jin all over this thread.

As a grown man kharakter, Kung Jin is allowed to do whatever any other grown-asss kharakter can do.
Kung Jin (like Sonya or Kitana or etc) is allowed to like men.

Homophobia is insane.

These useless-asss meltdowns are a big mess.

Relax yourselves and look to the peace within.

so why are we on page 9 of this thread? he's gay,so what? honestly, i don't understand the arguments. it literally does not matter.

Because, Chaos is justice

It is, but the joke's on them anyway since the majority of HIV positives are actually heterosexual.

Jokes are not hateful. Insults are hateful.

You're disgusting.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to come into contact with any blood that's not my own.

Approve +10

Yeah the only gross ones here Kotal and Skarlet.

They say youre not truly living life unless you laugh at your own expense. Why do you feel the need to get offended because its at the expense of your own demographic?

Im a hispanic minority and laugh at racist jokes all the time, relax and dont be so quick to take everything to heart.

Trust me im familiar with over reacting.

Wait what? I was just making a joke to lighten the mood.

So did this get confirmed somewhere, and if so, anyone got a link?

Someone on gamefaqs mentioned a dev had confirmed it. And people seem to be talking more and more like it's confirmed.

But if that happened I missed it, last I knew it was just people speculating based on that one story mode comment.

The writers confirmed on Twitter.

I was refering to MikeyRu's youre disgusting comment im in agreement with yoi that it was just a harmles joke my bad if that was confusing lol.

No worries!

Because in this day and age, it's not simply enough to be okay with something or simply not care. Instead, you have to be super excited about it and continually talk about how awesome it is.

Then, if some jackass says something insensitive, it's not enough to just call them a jackass. There needs to be a long, drawn out process of trying to change their mind.

Are you positive?

Might need to take a test to be sure.

To a certain extent. AIDS jokes are about as funny as cancer jokes (aka not funny at all). The homophobic connotation doesn't help its cause.

Put the bad jokes about diseases to the side. Get it back to the topic of the character.

Well looks like I'm going to have to learn to main me some Kung Jin. I was kinda sad that 90% of the roster didn't speak to me but I'm happy about this now.

Applauding NRS for actually going there. Never thought I'd see the day.

This is good. We need different characters.

As a child in the early 90s, I lost two uncles to AIDS. One of them lived with us up until the very end. He lost so much weight and became so gaunt that he ended up being a living skeleton that could be carried around like a doll. So forgive me if I find jokes about gay men having AIDS being distasteful.
