Stating a character is gay simply because of a pink suit is homophobic and only reinforcing gay stereotypes. Good job op.
You could've told me this was the cover of the next SR game, and I would've believed you.
Well shit, some one better tell the Phoenix Suns they can no longer call there arena The Purple Palace. People might get the wrong idea, or something.Purple is a color often associated with gay people by choice, at least recently. Though I'd say this is pinkish purple, and pink is considered by many to be an effeminate color. Limp wrists is a stereotype of gays, as is being fashionable. So when you combine all those in one image, I think it is pretty clear why I'd feel like they could be playing off this stereotype.
People are entitled to their opinions and can certainly disagree with me. All I did was voice my concern about what was given to me and my initial feelings.
My best friend has a haircut really close to the one the bad guy has there, should we have fucked by now? Did I mix up the signals? I thought we were two straight bros.
This may be the biggest backfire I've seen on a board ever
Needs scars to be honest. Must be more manly, or I'll be offended.
Nothing about the antagonist strikes me as gay.
You keep saying that he has a limp wrist, but all I see is one resting on the guys head and one resting on his chin.
That's actually your camp's problem. The game does not exist yet. No member of this forum has played it. This is not criticism because there is no artifact to criticize. There is no context because the argument is inferring from a box art (which are noted for how narrow and lacking nuance they are) the details and actions of a character. This is a game of how offended will I be today.
Wait. Now is this offensive because he now looks middle-eastern? shit. I'm not sure how to fix this to make it non-offensive to everyone.
Oh wait. Here we go:
all white? seriously?
I was with you up until the last line~ Trust me, few are offended~!
Better?

This is what I dont like about gay people who stress over everything.
ITS A SEXUAL ORIENTATION !!!!!!
wait, let me explain it better...
ITS THE WAY YOU LIKE TO HAVE SEX !!!!
ITS NOT PERSONALITY, ITS NOT A STYLE OR A HAIRCUT, ITS NOT HOW YOU TALK AND WALK !!!!!
For fucks sake, "if done right" ?!?!?!?!! ITS A PERSONALITY OF A CHARACTER, BEING THE CHARACTER GAY OR NOT, CHANGES NOTHING !!!
Do you guys really get offended on this ?! Just cuz they make a character who looks slightly more feminine ? If all you want is equal rights, then Shut it already !
Better?

Some stereotypes of gay men are: Fashionable / Style (check), limp wrist (check), and the color pink (check), which at least in America, is often considered an effeminate color.
My issue is if this character is gay, thus far he is portrayed as a gay stereotype in this piece of art, and that alone is problematic. Let alone if he is the whole "gay people are bad guys or punchlines" trope.
So where am I being a hypocrite or judgemental here?
Apparently Noctis is gay too
Stating a character is gay simply because of a pink suit is homophobic and only reinforcing gay stereotypes. Good job op.
Is he really gay? Was it confirmed? (I am not following FF XV news lately)
If he happens to be gay, it means 75% of people in this thread were wrong that looking sterotypical =/= acutally being sterotypical for FC4. It also means we have a gay guy in a purple suit, which is absolutetly fabulous! (/Sarcasm) Another thing is that the chance of homosexual actions against a MC will increase slightly which is pretty homophobic if you ask me.And if he was gay? Then what?
*looks to the sky for comets*
He dresses pretty well. No limp wrist though.
Maybe I should send him dick pics and go from there?
Wait, I'm a brown dude. Does that mean I'm gay or not?
If they were two different sexual orientations..

I'm sure you could keep the RPG. The RPG wasn't hurting anyone.

As an openly bisexual (if we must label it) man with a boyfriend, I'd like to think I know about gay dudes. I'm just saying it looks like they created a character that leans towards being a gay stereotype from looks alone.

Twitter meltdowns are fun. Who would have thought @Veeren_Jubbal was a closet racist?
The uproar is stupid because the message it unintentionally sends is that publishers should just be safe, avoid characters of color, avoid controversial subjects. Never portray the third world.
