We have a lot of fans, many of whom are neither straight nor male, and they deserve no less attention.And if there is any doubt why such an opinion might be met with hostility, it has to do with privilege. When someone objected to the idea that a male character could hit on his male character, lead writer David Gaider fired back with this:ĭavid Gaider: The romances in the game are not for "the straight male gamer". They even managed to sneak the first openly gay character into the Star Wars Expanded Universe, over the objection of LucasArts. They have incurred a certain amount of fame (or infamy) for their gay and bisexual characters, and Gay Option romance sidequests, enough to generate controversy over Mass Effect not having a gay male option until the third game (a Male Shepherd/Kaiden romance was Dummied Out in the first game). BioWare is very aware that there is a large portion of their fanbase that are not heterosexual males.The appeal of Bayonetta to gay gamers is discussed here. The titular character Bayonetta has become something of an ironic gay icon, largely because of her campiness and how her hypersexuality and delightfully bitchy attitude makes her almost feel like a Drag Queen sometimes, and that's without even mentioning the Les Yay shipping between her and Jeanne.
