Not sure if this is the worst thing ever or just a bad attempt at satire :/

Scissor lady was good though

Ain't no love.

 

[willybobo]

Super dragon felch vs super reverse pegdriver!

 

[waypoetic]

Not sure if i should find this absolutely brilliant or just offensive.

I'll just chuckle at it for the moment

 

[sphinx]

I was really hoping we'd get a real Musclebear, truly muscled

but instead the only bear we got is actually a chubby >_> ... bahh, do not like.

 

[smr00]

Still not worse than a game about a guy killed and slandered by his killer and some nasty parts of the country.

Now lets hear about how people should stop being so PC and grow a thicker skin.

The guy with the glasses in that video is a fucking shit head.

Not only does he laugh at the game which is clearly wrong he tries justifying it and comparing it to games where you kill nameless people. As for Ultimate Gay fighter? I take a little offense to it but it's no the worst thing in the world. I

 

[orioto]

I can't decide if I'm more offended by the game or by this post.

Haaa, the bad dirty joke is not funny anymore if i have to explain i'm gay..

 

[Some Nobody]

Intersexed and Asexual, acc. to Urban Dictionary.

Asexual was also a guess but I thought I'd just stick with two. Half-right, anyways.

 

[Fushichou187]

i just googled "first ever gay video game" and got a news page about the ultimate gay fighter

lol dat HuffPo SEO.

HuffPo itself posted an interview with the dev of another gay game, back in July.

And then you have games created during LGBT-centric game jams, etc..

 

[willybobo]

Would love if it this were to take off and get picked up by the UFC, and developed into a reality competition show. So then we could have The Ultimate Fighter and The Ultimate Gay Fighter crossovers. Who can turn who?!

 

[Terrell]

Haaa, the bad dirty joke is not funny anymore if i have to explain i'm gay..

That doesn't make me any less offended.
And so am I.

 

[TheSeks]

Are you fucking kidding me? A 5 second google search says otherwise.

Hell, anyone could probably say Cho Anaki despite being a "shit game" even in Japans own words predates it by a good 20+ years.

 

[orioto]

That doesn't make me any less offended.

I guessed you were Pardon my bad humor then!

 

[Nudull]

It's a godawful attempt at satire, that's for sure. The bisexual fighter alone made me bang my head on the desk.

 

[Conor_Fool]

'Gaytality'? Haha now I HAVE seen everything.

Gaytality was the only redeeming factor of that video

And goddamn, was it redeemed. Priceless

 

[Some Nobody]

I guessed you were Pardon my bad humor then!

Is that how that goes? You're a nice person. If another black guy told me he was offended by a racial joke I made, I'm pretty sure I'd say something even more offensive.

Yeah what was that? I date rape joke?

 

[MilesWebber]

Zangief is a much better bear. That guy is just fat.

Dehumanize Gay People: The Fighting Game.

 

[Whompa]

Yeah that was just about the worst game I've seen in years. It doesn't look funny, it doesn't look good, and it doesn't look like a fun game to play. Why was this made?

 

[dark_prinny]

 

[orioto]

I'm trying to not be even more hated than i am here It's clear that my joke would have been more funny with other gay friends, but hey.. not everyone has the same humor!

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Gay guy here. The only thing I find offensive about this is that it's a mobile "game."

 

[Fushichou187]

haha true. Love me some kusoge.

Spoiler

I can see Knack being lumped with that moniker as well when it releases there next year.

 

[The Lamp]

well I happen to be bi and thought it was hilarious. The scissors and gaytality :lol

Lighten up.

 

[willybobo]

Is this thread the new grindr?

 

[RocBase]

Haha, wtf?

Would main Sappho just for the scissor move.

 

[willybobo]

needs moar chibi-style persona action

 

[Necromanti]

It doesn't seem particularly clever, nor does the game look any good. The golden noose was certainly out of place.

 

[Terrell]

Yes, that's how civil people behave and interact.
And no worries, orioto, your pardon is accepted. I may find it tasteless, but it's not the worst thing I've heard.

That is truly the most delicate of satirical topics they are addressing.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Video link doesn't work for me, weird

 

[Pound_lb003]

Uhh. Yeah!

Well what can you really say about that?

I think it waived opinions when it said "GAYTALITY", and by the time the drag queen had eaten and regurgitated her competitor I was entirely lost.

 

[ctothej]

ITT: Straight people thinking they're supposed to be offended.

Seriously guys, most gay people would find this funny (speaking as one myself). It's basic in-joke satire. Save the outrage for something else.

 

[spekkeh]

What's up with the music. Why not Stayin Alive or Holding out for a Hero or something.

 

[Parablank]

is this a joke

 

[Pristine_Condition]

The last fatality is when Zuffa sues the shit outta the developer for infringing on the UFC's trademarks.

This isn't satire dude, it's a parody. Also if you're not offended by it,cool.

 

[meltingparappa]

You can be offended by whatever you choose, but I think a majority of the people who identify ourselves as queer in the thread are in the camp that there is no homophobic intent -- it's a satire to create discussion and think about what lies slightly beyond the fringes of current fighting game archetypes.

Doesn't mean it does it particularly WELL, but it's enough to create this thread.

 

[Phades]

Black gay guy with a golden noose rope chain around his neck.

Yeah.

When people were talking about a guy with a noose around his neck, i was hoping this wasn't the case. I mean, it is not like there aren't historical references to this to make it more of an eyesore than it needed to be.

Oh well whatever, I'll just remeber to skip the threads talking about racial ___ about this game or other similar topics as that will just be water swirling down the toilet bowl.

 

[fader]

This is the wrong way to introduce gays in games

 

[NeoGash]

Gaytality was the only redeeming factor of that video

And goddamn, was it redeemed. Priceless

Basically my thoughts. It's so ridiculously hilarious, I kind of feel I have to play this game now. I could only imagine what stuff they could come up with if it was given an adult rating.

The whole "i identify as lgbt and I don't find this offensive" just stinks of "my opinion is means more than yours" even though lgbt indentifying people who this thread who do find it offensive!

Of course, their intent may not have been to offend. Hardly anyone goes around willingly wanting to be sexist, racist or homophobic. However intent =! Impact. To me this is one of the most flagrantly offensive things I have seen. It's to the point where the intent to me is it's doing all of this willfully for attention to the product and not some thoughtful satire. So yeah imma call this shit out on that

Also this isn't a satire, it's a parody at best. It wouldn't work as a satire because it's only "ironically" using the same negative cliches that already persist in a bunch of mediums.

What is it supposed to be a parody of?

 

[pax217]

Yes, Gaytality was pretty good.

The only reason you should be offended by this video is if you're offended by gays; otherwise it's just another fighting game.

 

[EviLore]

You should probably stop trying to use words. It's not working out for you.

[deejay8595]

Reminds me of the Full House fighter.

mmm...Can you or someone provide a link to this video?

 

[Zee-Row]

Cho-aniki on SNES was a better Gay Fighting game. At least it had a million moves for each character.

 

[Masamuna]

Zangief is a much better bear. That guy is just fat.

Bear is technically an umbrella term, but this character falls far more in line with the bear niche compared to gief.

I was really hoping we'd get a real Musclebear, truly muscled

but instead the only bear we got is actually a chubby >_> ... bahh, do not like.

This is far more a (muscle) bear than he is a chub/super chub. Technically he is right down the middle. It's not like the gym bunny or burly muscle bears haven't been done before. And he is by no means a Rufus or Bob.

The only thing I find offensive is the poor quality. The characters are hilarious.
