How do you properly create a gay character?
You don't tell anyone they are gay.
>>343939757
Make him completely attractive and fuckable but don't make any mention that he is gay in the game.
like this
When you make fun of the gay character in a funny way
Don't make them "The gay character"
You don't.
have him die of aids midway through
>>343939757
The same way you create a hetero character.
No straight guy starts the conversation with "DAMN I SURE LOVE PUSSY".
>>343939757
t. Arcade Gannon
>>343939757
Never make them being gay a major point in their character.
See the movie ParaNorman
>>343939757
You don't.
Write them some interesting character traits that don't have to do with sexuality.

>>343939757

>>343939757
You make him a trap
>>343939757
Why does it matter? You trying to recreate yourself?
There is no 'proper' way
We're just as diverse in mannerisms and beliefs as everyone else.
If people are incapable of liking a gay character because they don't act straight that's their own problem. Fuck catering to them.
>>343939757
Don't make it part of their personality whatsoever.
>>343939757
The same way you create a "straight" character: don't make their sexuality their key defining trait.
People don't remember Undyne and Alphys from Undertale as only lesbians, they had personalities that were much more prominent than their sexualities.
tl;dr, don't succumb to the BioWare / Gone Home effect
>>343939757
I dunno. I always like if it's acknowledged, but in a realistic way. Like maybe he/she has some kind of chip on his/her shoulder because they weren't accepted for who they were. Maybe they became super powerful so nobody questions them.
TLoU had a pretty good gay character, basically a crazy recluse, but then you realize he's nuts because he butt-buddy died and now he's alone.
>>343939923
This, but also put another character in the game for him to be overly protective of.

>>343940296
>>343940176
>>343940174
all very good answers
>>343939757
According to Sarkeesianite cancer, gay characters should be noticeably gay but still blend in with everyone else, AND they shouldn't be murderers or bad people because this reflects negative stereotypes of deviancy.
Video games should be about FUN
>>343939757
faggotry is just so disgusting and the media glorifies its worst sides, the kikes are winning...I just can't help it that I find some boys cute, fuck off. Stop drawing them like that or giving them aesthetic cocks!
>>343939865
>>343939923
>>343940065
>>343940221
>>343940268
These have the right idea.
I don't mind gay characters, as long as they have some depth to them.
Then again if there was a game with a violently gay uber-fag, I'd probably like that even more.
Gay perspective here
I like the way overwatch did it. When asked, they announced that there are gay character(s), but didn't specify. As romance hasn't contributed anything to any character backstories yet, I'm glad they haven't overtly stated "X character is gay"
If newly revealed characters add some sort of romance background to explain rivalries or friendships between characters in the future, I figure it'd be okay for one such romance to be gay, but only if it is done naturally and doesn't feel forced.
>>343939757
The same way you properly create a straight guy,
>>343940605
You could actually make a character out of that idea though which is the main problem with token characters, they're just there to represent a minority and have nothing in the way of personality, motivation, or character development.
>>343940583
>faggotry is just so disgusting
Homo love is the only true kind of love. Straight is the only disgusting sexuality.
>>343940543
>People don't remember Undyne and Alphys from Undertale as only lesbians
People on tumblr literally do not care about anything about them outside of being lesbians.
Do exactly the opposite of what /v/ tells you.
Homosexuality is just as much an abnormality as being born with 2 heads.
dont write them into stories unless there is a need for them or part of the story is about that chatacteristic.
Making a character gay just because you feel like it or want to be oh so progressive will always, without fail, come off as forced and awkward.
>>343939757
dont focus his character around being gay.
better yet, dont make one.
>>343940930
DO NOT MAKE A MUSCULAR SHOTA THAT TRIES TO FUCK EVERYONE

People complain about gay characters' romance being shoved in their faces but the fact is, romance or whoever that person is having sex with is a prominent part of most people's lives. It's gonna come up at some point if that person has an extended conversation.

You don't have to be gay to be flamboyant I know but nothing's as hilariously great as somebody that looks like a pop star fucked a rainbow prancing up and going OHHHHHH YYEESS
>>343939757
Make him a conflicted, well balanced, flawed human being that pokes fun at his own homosexuality on occasion and is willing to bust balls and have his own balls busted, also make sure he holds some opinion that would probably be considered unprogressive or uncharacteristic for a media gay personality to have. Maybe have a story line about how he will not let himself be the victim and takes control of his own life without the expectations of everyone accepting him.basically I want Milo in a video game.

Like how they did it with Hammerlock in bl2. It's not all in your face that he's gay (like they did with the characters in pre-sequel), the player just kind of finds out on their own.
A gay character is fine as long as that's not the only feature they have to contribute to the story.

Hell Nazis on dinosaurs will kill us all when gays act like every one else.
Happy to help anon.
>>343939757
Like any other character... if it's a game where it's appropriate add subtext.
How about you prioritize making good characters and if they're gay then that's just a bonus?
>>343939757
you don't
you properly make a character, and he might just happen to be gay.
don't force it
don't hamfist it
don't bring it up out of the blue
be subtle
>>343941320
Was just about to post this.
Gannon isn't defined by his sexuality and nor does he coming swinging out of the closet when you first meet him. He's defined as a scientist and a hardliner against most of the other factions in New Vegas although mainly against the legion. You can talk to him about a lot of different shit and if you should pursue, he'll eventually bring up his sexuality.
I'd could talk about it more but I'll keep it short.
You can't, people will call it pandering no matter what.
>>343941505
Actually, come to think of it, there really aren't that many gay characters in BL2. Hammerlock is the only outright gay guy there; Axton's bi in the sense of "I'll fuck anything that gets me hard.", not just for stupid drama. And even that just came from a voiceover glitch.
>putting a black character in is fine as long as they act white :)
>>343940237
this
>>343939757
Step 01: write a character
Step 02: it just so happens this character likes the same gender. This doesn't affect their character in any way.
You have now properly created a gay character
>>343940941
The percentage of "pure" homosexuality (aka only liking your own gender) is estimated about 2-5%. Bisexual is far larger in number, not to mention all the people who are total liars to themselves, especially if you live in a religious area where it's basically social suicide to admit anything. It's very prevalent and not akin to "being born with two heads so don't write them in unless need be".
If it was 1/200,000 like conjoined twins, then maybe. But it's more like 4% (for pure homosexuality) and even more if you put in people who like both. That percentage is rather large.
We are just very prude creatures, also. 10% of rams are straight up homosexuals. Bonobos fuck everything. It all depends on the species for the amount of naturally occurring homosexuality, since most mammals have homosexual populations, some small, some very large. Humans are just in a conservative denial about it, which hopefully will pass because no one should give a shit who you want to stick your dick in.
>create a normal guy
>never mention he's gay in any way
done
>>343941653
No I disagree, you should write a bad character but select their minority status with a roulette wheel.
>>343939757
GG has Venom and new Vegas has Arcade.
>>343940870
>not making alphys a thick lizard
That's all I care about.
Give them a personality besides being gay
Literally 95% of gay characters in any media don't have a personality besides sucking dick
>>343941724
Speaking as a gay guy here, the reason a lot of people don't want prancing fruits is because they generally tend to be really obnoxious and self absorbed, and nobody likes that.
>>343941720
Tiny Tina is gay
>>343941724
Putting a black character in is fine as long as they don't act like a stereotype. You can even make them a ghetto trash gangbanger, but you need to give them nuance.
Unless you mean 4chan, in which case they'll just call it pandering trash no matter what.
>>343941505
I felt like that was more prevalent in pre-sequel than bl2, but then again it's been a long time since I played it so maybe I'm remembering wrong.
>>343939757
1. Make them a Krogan
2. Make them romanceable
There, a proper gay character I would like.

That's realistic though
>>343941724
A lot of if not most gay people find prancing homo lala flaming queens fucking annoying.
I played va-11 hall-a recently and I think it handled gay characters pretty well. Like a third of the cast is either gay or bisexual but it never feels forced. Characters talk about their sex lives but it just comes across as people shooting the shit about their lives in general rather than someone trying to force their beliefs on you.
>>343939757
There are two ways for me.
Have the character be gay but still keep them a normal person with his own personality, like Tony from Earthbound.
OR
Have the fact that they're gay affect them in some way, like in how they dress or how they act. Like Niles from FE fates, he's always making constant innuendos and makes it pretty obvious he's gay/bi. Just listen to that voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=064Exe7lN3Y

If "Personality" to you is just being flamboyant and making your entire identity about how you like dick instead of vagina
I think the best way to show a difference is The Last of Us with Bill in the main game and Ellie and her friend in the DLC. One is an actual character and the other feels like it was done just to get brownie points from a clique.
>>343941064
That's another good one too. I always forget he's gay until I get to the part where he grabs your crotch to prove you're not Raikov.
I feel like gay characters are a sort of pariah, maybe they've always been but in the past few years there's this sort of "Check it out, we've got a GAY (black / white / etc) character! Isn't that exciting, huh!?".
Like yep, they're one dimensional characters comin' out of the gates because the first idea down on the table is "well, they're gay, for starters". It's not some widespread agenda or whatever loony bullshit people would like to think but why don't some people just write em as any other dude? Whatever happened to just writing interesting characters?

Being LGBT can have a serious affect on your outlook and attitude. Having the character act like their attraction has no affect on anything is lazy.
>>343942081
>>343941878
I'm gay as well
There's more to us than acting straight or putting on a thong and throating a dildo. Showing the struggles they go through can build character and add layers of drama. Not every game needs this, but I don't accept that the best gay character is someone who doesn't 'act' gay, because that could mean a million different things.
>>343942134
>>343941968
You people only see your own biased view of the world. Black people can be more than just 'white' or full ghetto nigger. Gay people can be more than 'straight' and glitter farting aids magnets.
Make them be an actual character. If their only character trait is that they're gay you fucked up.
>>343939757
Don't make it a defining character trait, as it rarley is IRL. I feel sorry for all the regular gay bros out there who have to live as part of the modern LGBTQASDF scene. Gays generally don't introduce themselves as the gay guy.
Arcade Ganon in New Vegas is a good example. His whole character would basically be the same whether he was gay or straight. You only learn he's gay off-handedly through some comment he makes about being swept off his feet by a nice man.
>>343939947
That doesn't look at all like Arcade Gannon.
Make it either
A.) Important to his character in some way, not just "hey guys I'm gay look at me"
B.) Have it be a footnote that's not really important, like the guy from New Vegas
>>343939947

This whole gay agenda and people who only view the world through their rainbow colored lens are hilarious. Imagine if some guy had to declare all the time that he only likes to fuck fat girls, and tried to judge everything by his sexual preferences, and creates a political movement about fattie fuckers. This is exactly like how those gay rights activists do it.
You dont, some fag making sure everyone knows he is gay every second is just going to make people hate that fag.
You just make a character and then imply he is gay .
>>343942414
>Black people can be more than just 'white' or full ghetto nigger.
That's exactly what I said, faggot. "Don't make them a one-note stereotype".
>example
Ellie from the Last of Us.
You just create normal character with all his/her personality traits and just write that she/he likes to have sex with the same gender.
It's not that hard. The great example is also - >>343939947 if you want really expressive character.
>>343939757
Unless it's a Japanese game, it can't work. Basically, just make them lust for your dick and act like a girl. Make them look like a girl, but with male features (but still cute and girly obviously)
Basically, something that makes your peepee hard
>>343942414
Why do you say "Straight" when you really mean "Normal"

>>343942596
>Why do you say "Straight" when you really mean "Normal"
Sure Anon. But you do realise that normal as term is subjective?
>>343942543
Uh, nobody is fighting for gay rights in this thread.
>>343941724
No, the reasoning here is more like "It's okay to put a black character as long as I never find out he's black."
It's like, everyone here seems to think it's only okay to have a gay character if this information is literally never revealed in-game, or revealed really in a really obscure dialogue tree and never touched on again. They can't even be in a fucking relationship or anything or else it's immediately pandering SJW garbage or something.

@Your comment regarding struggles with homosexuality, I think Persona 4 did a good job of that with Kanji. It's not his entire character, but it does cover his inner struggle confronting it through his "shadow self". It's a shame they drop almost all references to it after the fact however.
>>343942871
Maybe homosexuality is some sort of population control
>>343942743
Normal is a statistical term and is entirely not subjective. It really is the default setting, gays are an extremely small minority of people otherwise the human race wouldn't be able to reproduce effectively.

>>343943032

The same way you make any good character - you give them depth. One-dimensional characters are bad, no matter if they're gay or straight. But it's especially dubious if you make a character gay and they have no other defining traits. That's tokenism.

I think people really missed the point with Riley. Riley was pretty much the only person in Ellie's life, and she was getting ready to leave her. The amount of emotion in Ellie surrounding Riley was more than enough for a kiss, and probably could have turned into love fairly easily, especially given the prison-like setting of the Quarantine Zone. I was actually dumbfounded that the only thing people got out of that kiss was fuel for the "gay or not" argument machine. Her sexual orientation was so far from relevant in the context of that scene. Maybe she's gay, maybe she's bi, maybe she's otherwise straight, but the thing that matters is that she loves Riley, and doesn't want her to go join the Fireflies.
It's like this documentary I saw on Prison romance. Dudes behind bars, who were other wise straight, will fall completely in love. They were interviewing gangsta ass niggas who were saying that they were utterly heartbroken when their prison spouse either got out, got moved to another prison, got thrown in Solitary, or left them. Emotions run deep when you're in that kind of situation with people.

Make them hot.
When has a game not been improved by adding hot lesbians to it?
Never. I guess if you swring for gay guys or something you can add in some hot gay dudes or something but seriously, do you want to know why everyone into Overwatch wants to see Mercy and Pharah raining justice from above on each other? Because they're fucking hot.
Make them hot. Simple as that. You can't even disagree.
You might not even think that this is remotely true, but give it some thought and you will see.
>>343943108
Magic or superscience. Don't make it a struggle, because it shouldn't be. Who could blame anyone for wanting to be a hot girl? Hell, I do, and I'm a completely straight male.
>>343943321

Calling for straight rights is just a way to silence the LGBT community. You people already have all the rights we're asking for.

Is it a coincidence than homosexuality was so relevant in the 90' and again right now 20 years later?
Also, what games make being gay an important part of gameplay?
Can't think of any other than maybe getting rewards for romancing someone in Dragon Age.
>>343943736

The game would need to have fairly uncommon themes for anything homosexuality might skew your opinion on to be that relevant.

I don't think it's subjective when normal can also be used as a descriptor for "the majority."
Gay people aren't a majority. They're just really loud.
>>343943950
Dunno what you're trying to say, but I do think kids should at least know that being gay is an option. There are plenty of kids - especially in more closed off countries - that are gay but don't have any one to talk to about it, so they end up trying to discover shit on their own and putting themselves in danger.
>>343939757

How many 80s action movies have you seen?
Or better, have you seen Predator? Because that was Rick's whole character.
Make a character and only mention anything about their personal lives vaguely alluded to or buried in a codex entry five quests/missions/levels prior to meeting them. Having homosexuality be an important component of a character's story is not allowed because it is NEVER important in the real world and video games are the real world. Also the Quran forbids it.
>>343944380
gays are extremely promiscuous, have anyone even looked at the number of gay marriages in places that allowed that?
>>343943806
>why do gays get refracted light, I like rainbows too
Quote from my dad on a road trip
>>343943954
It's not for every game, of course. I don't need every single game or even most of them to have gay characters.
But if you're going to do it, depending on the setting it might make for a very different character. I'd like Bioware to actually tackle the gay struggle instead of pulling a Bethesda where "everything is perfectly accepted aren't we progressive ;)"
>>343944176
States are still pushing out laws to let businesses fire people for being gay. Gay marriage is a big one, but there's still issues surrounding the marriage itself. Adoption is more difficult. And one of the worst examples, gay couples sometimes aren't allowed to visit their dying partner's in the ICU because they technically aren't considered "family," Money can be an issue if one person dies as well.
And up until the last decade, the military was insanely draconian when it came to gay service members.
>>343944219
Is not.
>>343939757
make a good character and either don't hint at their sexuality or only hint at it a little where it's hardly noticable
Like with Gobber in How to train your dragon
>>343944308
I understand that sexuality is not a protected class, but that also means that heterosexuality is not protected.
Meaning that LGBT orientations and heterosexuals are not protected from being fired on the basis of sexuality.
>>343944380
They could get those, though.
Honestly if I was writing a gay character that I would want to be liked
>Make him sort of a closeted gay stereotype from the very beginning, but play it for laughs.
>Make him say things like "Wow I bet she has a giant puss" and other things straight guys would never say when they are oguling women.
>Make him likable through out though, don't just make him a grandstand for progressive values. He is not the arbiter of morals, he is not the smartest of the group, he makes just as much mistakes as everyone else.
>the big coming out moment will not be this emotional thing for everyone else, because 1. we already knew and 2. it was never that big of a deal to begin with, we always just accepted him for who he was.
>>343944565

Not really. It's just that the few that go overboard go WAY overboard. Straights aren't really any different. Most people don't know the value of a committed relationship.
>>343944596

You do understand that you'll just get a Bioshock Infinite situation where "The struggle" is basically a shallow theme that they reference once or twice for critic points, right?

Not him, but if gays want to subject themselves to the same misery of shackled to someone until death or divorce like straight people do, then I say let them have at that insanity.
Same with the military. If they're dumb enough to want to go die on some godforsaken rock for the bottom line of your nation's elite, then go nuts.
>>343943680
>>343944565
>gays are extremely promiscuous
That's why you have to find a somewhat feminine guy who is denial about his sexuality, and eventually get him to open up to you alone and enjoy a monogamous relationship with him.
>>343944646
No one has ever been fired for being straight
>>343944802
Don't talk to me about that fucking game, jesus christ what a turd.
>>343944308
Wut?
You realize that unless your employer is a religious whackjob working for a private, non-government funded religious organization, you are legally completely safe, right?
I mean, sure, there's the possibility you could get fired anyway from a more normal job--but then you have every right to sue, because your boss just broke the law.
Seriously dude, what's your source for information? Because I wouldn't rely on it so heavily if I were you.
>>343944652
With a lot more legal hoops and paperwork that could take months or years, versus a quick courthouse marriage they could get done in 30 minutes.
And even then, I don't think you can cheaply set up a binding Power Of Attorney like you can with marriage.

But if it ever actually is relevant to that character's plot people conclude that that is their primary trait. And I can't think of many legitimate cases of gayness being a character's primary trait outside of Japanese gag characters and Traynor from ME3.

But that's the opposite if what you should do. You need an extremely provocative slut who can get guys wrapped around her finger, and then have her get shut the fuck down because the character is gay.
