Forgot that being homosexual means you can only be gay (happy) and not evil. If he is gay I think he could be a really interesting villain. Any one who has a problem with it is fundamentally hypocritical, as we have straight generic villains all the time, are only straight males capable of crime.
Yes people who are homosexual and non white humans have had to fight to be considered equal, and there is no denying in many places a lot of people still unfortunately have it hard. But if this is a rascist gay character (I think he's the same ethnicity as the solider but hey ho), we have to remember it's a plot device. It is an 18 rated game so it's not going to make it's intended audience suddenly think all people who are homosexual are racist criminals.
The bandwagon needs to stop being jumped on so quick. Yes rights need defending, and certainly if something is done wrong with how people are depicted then get on to ubi and make a noise, boycott the game. But outrage at a single image with no context...well...just a tad of an overreaction. Maybe I don't get it fully as I'm not from a race or sexual orientation that's been discriminated against, and if so enlighten me. Though the lesbian and black people I know feel the same, and I've seen gay-gaffers post similar views, so yea shtap as I honestly think it actually negatively affects the way discussions form around real issues. It makes everything to reactionary instead of constructively working together to fix issues. Sorry mini rant lol.
