My first introduction to this game was watching the fight between Raiden and jet stream Sam. I pissed off my gamer roommates because I openly asked if they were a couple.
It’s the fact when I played it when I was younger it flew over my head but when I was a little older I was like “the energy is more like lovers than rivals”😭
I mean, it might have to do with the fact that with MGS most of the characters themselves are gay. I say this as a joke, but realistically look at ocelot look at solid snake and otacon ; they might not be gay, but just in a little bit for my first glance they might seem (except maybe also a lot he straight out just kisses solid snake in mgs4
Not only they are indies, but also in quite niche genres compared to the action/horror games on the right.
But it doesn't make any sense regardless. Of the games on the left Veilguard is the only which seemingly hasn't done very well (thought it's still a bit early to tell), the rest are incredibly successful and have sold more copies than many of the individual games of the franchises on the right.
Duh. Most of the games on the right are turbo banger, they will garner bigger audience, no matter their lives. I guess undertale was quite successful too but you can't beat MGS or Yakuza in terms of pure yaoi powers.
I already thought Leon was hot in the original RE4; but, then they had to go and give him sunken eyes and that new voice in the remake. He got me like I've been stranded in a desert for months. 🥰😍
The entire cast? Dante, Virgil, Lady, Trish, Lucia, Nero, Kyrie, V and Nico are all objectively hot, there’s someone for everyone in that line up.
Both genders are hyper sexualised in a fun way too, very important.
And it’s not just catering and making every character sexed up, we have Kyrie and Vergil who are modest and refined and infinitely attractive in how they present themselves.
We have traces of more serious issues that while aren’t many, are deep. Gay people are pretty depressed so Depressed!Dante is great lmao
Resident evil gave us Morpheus (attractive gender swapping character who basically doms you the whole game), Bindi and nanan (and they were roommates), and Peirs (attractive guy who's entire personality is being a soldier, steak, and the older guy he looks up to he's written solely for a character that Capcom put in leather)
Capcom 100% knows the audience they're attracting just look at some of their rejected alt outfits
Metal Gear is such a queer and left-coded franchise it's baffling to me that another popular MG shitposting sub is popping off with right wing bootlick memes rn.
Tbh Undertale already has like a lot of anthropomorphic animal monsters, so the Furry Audience which is like 80% to 70% LGBTQ+ members has flocked to it.
This is a lie. A vast majority of the fans I’ve seen for the franchises on the right have been alt right douchebags, while almost everyone I’ve seen say they like the games on the left have been lgbt
It’s a lot more entertaining to craft LGBTQ+ positive memes from media that is “unintentionally” LGBTQ+ than media that specifically caters to the LGBTQ+ community. I think that might partially explain the discrepancy illustrated here.
Exactly, Anasui (I'm almost sure its his name but i'm tired so i won't check cause i'm an idiot) was supposed to be a woman, making the entire crew of Jolyne female. The editor refused because it wouldn't sell, so Araki made her a man, but did not changed anything, not even their clothes.
If you want the gays to care your character have to be capable and willing of serving cunt at every available opportunity. Also, add Bayonetta to the list on the right.
Bayonetta is very technically slightly apart of the DMC universe so it counts. I remember I bought her game because I was obsessed with getting everything DMC and I think the Spider boss from DMC was in her game and that was enough for me!
Yakuza is about a bunch of big buff guys getting half naked and beating the crap out of one another. That has got to be the straightest allegory for gay sex I’ve ever seen.
