Why does every gay mention have to be subtle, though?

If the dude's husband is dead it doesn't make any sense to be coy about it.

>>338300026
Because gay characters are only okay when you have to go out of your way to find out they're gay.

I mean, that line by itself isn't any more poorly written than anything else in the game. It involves homosexuality, though, so /v/ is super triggered.

That would make signficantly less sense though.
The player doesn't know who that is, and doesn't imply the effect it's had on that guy at all.

The very first time you talk to him as a male character, he comments on your looks and that he wouldn't mind following you around.

If you talk to him as a female, he states he doesn't exactly play for the right team.

If you want to have a homosexual character:
"My friend got taken."
Have him appear over the top emotional, with crying, stronger facial expressions yada yada...
Basically... I don't believe he would refer to a man as his husband in this world and situation. Your concept of marriage probably got erased as well. And I figure a homo would not call his boyfriend husband at this point. ESPECIALLY not publicly, and not to a stranger.

Let the player figure it out if he cares enough. Don't simply spell it out.

>>338299950
>But if he had a wife, he'd say the same shit with "wife" in the place of "husband."

For the reasons I just stated, no. The concept of marriage was traditionally between a women and man. I can believe it lives through the apocalypse, even without the church and formalities. Calling your spouse wife makes sense.

Partner

In NZ it's frequent to call someone a partner. Outside of the gender neutrality which wasn't the intention, just a side detail, it also includes relationships that aren't based on marriage. If you're not a teenager and have been living with your SO for more than two years the GF/BF tag makes you sound like an adolescent fool, thus partner.

It looks like this was made by a newfag. Probably someone who alternates between Rebbit and 4clams.

/pol/ only calls you a shill if you butt in like a retard into a topic with bullshit non arguments.

/pol/ calls out the Jews where credit is due. Its not an all around go to response. (newfags believe this and other newfags will tell you that /pol/ is satire but the truth is Jews are behind it 95% percent of the time)

/pol/'s definition of degeneracy applies to obvious outright nonsensical bullshit. SJW's will cry about a white guy breathing next to them.

/pol/ doesn't have an ultimate goal except of course for removing the Jew and ushering in the 4th Reich.

/pol/ Will never advocate censorship. They are literally open to any argument and add insult to injury by calling you a faggot and nigger after winning said argument. SJW's will literally flash mob people for disagreeing with them.

Depends on the context in which the information is provided. If there is literally no reason to mention whatever the gender of your partner is, it always comes off as forcing the subject. But if there is a very good reason to provide this info, it shouldn't matter if the character is a homo or heterosexual. They'd just be telling you something relevant to the context.

Unfortunately, many writers seem to think that including a blatantly homosexual character who literally flaunts his excessive homosexuality as a character trait is inclusive instead of being very intrusive. But if a well written character just happens to be a homo, and this trait does not define the character...why care? Almost nobody would care, because contrary to popular belief this homophobe mentality they are crusading against died a long time ago for most people.

Because far too often, the character in question is distilled to that singular, defining trait. "Look at us, we've included a token gay character."

This isn't just a problem in video games, of course, but on the whole. Society pushes so hard for inclusion (not necessarily a problem in itself, for what that's worth) that people are reduced to caricatures of themselves - "I am a white man" or "I am gay," rather than "I am a living, breathing, human being with my own myriad qualities and faults."

Characters like those listed above exist for no other purpose but to arbitrarily include a minority, with no defining quality but the most superficial, such that faux-progressive devs can pat themselves on the back for "doing their part."

A hugbox is a place where people will go out of their way to stop any and all forms of dissent and opposing opinions. If /pol/ was indeed a hugbox you'd see mods torching any and all forms of threads and comments that don't agree with a preset agenda for the board.

I don't mind gay relationships. I haven't played F2, so I cannot say anything about that. But let's assume that's the case:
My point is ~ as a writer, your readers perception is important. You need to convey the feelings you wan't them to feel. Now, a lot of us feel like they try to push an agenda. The 90s however, have been a different time. As silly as it sounds, I believe I'd found the exact same line more acceptable back then!

When your argument goes: "It's a fantasy world, we don't know how society differs from ours." ...you always have to assume we perceive it in our own RL-context. Which right now is ~ progressives try to push their agendas. Which actually means you need to tip-toe more around these issues.
That's just my opinion anyways. If the write wanted to invoke other feelings in me, he failed. That's the point, isn't it?

>The 90s however, have been a different time. As silly as it sounds, I believe I'd found the exact same line more acceptable back then!

That is silly. Your acceptance of a completely benign line changes because of what the writer's intention might be.

The writer probably just wanted to set up the next quest. I don't think they ever expected someone to bawl because of this.

We can agree that the writing quality is bad, I just don't think it has anything to do with the guy being gay and everything to do with rushed emotional motivation.

Usage of the word 'partner' instead of 'husband'. Partner could be a business partner--a "partner-in-crime" to embark on adventures with.

But instead, they use the word 'husband' to announce to everyone that they're gay, even if no one wanted to know or care if they're gay.

you're playing a video game, 75% of the things happening in it "aren't the norm"

also a white guy from africa isn't that surprising considering they're 8% of the population in south africa and namibia

Sadly true, because Bethesda can't stick to writing their own established world correctly to save their life.

>Neither would the characters in a post apocalyptic setting with 1960's mentalities.
How many times do people have to point out that the entire point of fallout is that that is not true? Or have you only played bethesda's shitty games.

Bethesda writers, you mean?

>You admit yourself you haven't even played the games, so why are you trying to talk like an authority on it?

I do not want to imply that. Most people never played the old games in any case. My point is simply, a good writer focuses an what feelings he wants to invoke and how he can do that to as many people as possible. While avoiding discussions like the one we are having right here. You gotta admit, that this threads very existence means a lot of players disliked how it is handled. And it wasn't always like this. It started in the last few years. Even *if* this were lore-friendly and acceptable (i can't judge), a good writer would acknowledge these problems and work around them.
That''s probably all from me, since this thread is gonna reach it's limit soon.

>You won't get immediately banned from /pol/ for posting dissenting opinions

I have. I got a three-day ban a while ago. They said it was for trolling or spamming or something, but I really just criticized some posters for being edgy kids who don't think about their ideology with any critical eye and just regurgitate what they get from their hugbox.

>>338305613
Shitposting threads that go against your ideas is just as much self-moderation as you can get. It's the same thing as NeoGaf for the right, you just lack the personal power to ban anyone.

In the character's defence, dude looks pretty gay

>>338305613
If Neogaf wasn't gated as shit I would literally do that right now. The problem with those shitholes isn't that they're SJW havens, it's that they're not anonymous. Dissenting opinions from random fags with 3 posts get ignored regardless of what they are.

Guess what you little special snowflake; even the DEVELOPERS of F3 did NOT play the previous games for the most part.

There's a difference between:

and

>1950s cultural norms
End this meme. Bethesda's fallouts are literally the only games that perpetuate this. in the first 2 fallouts the retrofuturism was just aesthetic, not the developer's go to philosophy for writing their pre-war america. Fallout isn't "photocopy the 50s and add a layer of apocalypse", it's "Mad Max a wasteland with vague zeerust retrofuturism in the backdrop"

Like in NV. Veronica will tell you that her love interest was a female only if you specifically ask her about their history. Also, that one sniper in 1st recon.

But there were gay relationships and a female President in Fallout 2. You can make a badass female starting with Fallout 1. This isn't even Bethesda. The world of Fallout isn't the world of the 60s and never has been.

Arcade Ganon was quite subtle about it. He didn't rub it in your face that he was gay. You had to talk to him a lot to discover that, and even then, it was litteraly one sentence saying like "lovers make for poor confidents" but turned in a way that you understand that he likes men. And that's it. I didn't know he was gay until /v/ told me and I re-read his dialogues carefully.

Not him but wiki says its like 2-11%

I think the main idea of the nazi guy was that they are a ridiculously small minority. Which I understand. They are about as small a minority as nazis.

So gays should just hide any details that reveals thier homosexuality just to cater to you? But it's fine for Nathan Drake to have multiple romantic interests and sexual tension?
