FAKE OR GAY: YOSHI AND TUROK
* gay yoshi *
Your favore vio game characters are the closet, and we're openg the 's face , there aren't a lot of openly gay characters vio gam. Sure, there is a smatterg of stereotypil gays urty of Japan's refal to enter the 21st century, but overall 's hard to fd anythg for gay gamers to get exced over.
EVEN IF YOSHI IS GAY, WHERE ARE THE OTHER GAY VIO GAME HERO?
Can an egg-layg dosr whout sex ans be gay? IGN's Jack DeVri mak the se that Mar's green dosr steed wh the prehensile tongue is "datg"- the strange, largely irrelevant backstory that am the seri-Birdo, the pk, bow-wearg dosr first seen Super Mar Bros. 2. * gay yoshi *
I'm lookg to all the mored, joked about, and all but nfirmed "gay" characters vio gam, and I'm gog to ci, once and for all, whether they are, fact, queer. Consir me the referee for thgs related to gay gamg. For the gay rears who don't get the sports reference, nsir me the judgg panel om Project Runway, but for vio gam.
MASSIVE: GAY EROTIC MANGA AND THE MEN WHO MAKE IT
I always played as Toad or Yoshi, which I didn’t know at the time was bee I was gay! Or turned me gay; ’s not clear which. Some Mar Kart characters are more queer than others, and over the many years and 10+ gam we’ve had plenty of opportuny to speculate about their IDs. * gay yoshi *
" Verdict:+Gay+(technilly+queer) It's a tricky suatn here bee there are a lot of unanswered qutns about Birdo. And datg a transgenr or transsexual dividual don't, by fn, make you gay.
MAR KART WII CHARACTERS RANKED BY GAY-NS
This is a groundbreakg manga (Japane ics) anthology by and about gay men, put together by an award-wng team.

The image has sparked bat om people wonrg whether the game's homoeroticism was censored, or whether Chad Smh is gay himself, or jt lik to make dumb jok. If you're gog to make your anchise's tular hero gay, you're gog to do right, and this is wrong (on so many levels).
Verdict:+Fake+(unfortunately) As much as I'd like to say Turok is a mascule, badass, totally gay vio game hero, the evince pots to this beg the storyboard equivalent of a "no homo" joke.

However I'm certaly not gog to stop any of you om adoptg him as the new gay gamg mast, 'e that'd be hilar.
In fact, I thk we ought to make Yoshi the gay gamg poster dosr.
Turok may not be playg both sis, but he's certaly not the only overly mascule shooter character wh a lot of latent homoeroticism. Can an egg-layg dosr whout sex ans be gay? ") I thk people are overreactg a b, but that the overreactn largely om the right place: gamers don't really want to al wh gross characterizatns of gay culture.

Not jt gay characters-which while not unmon, seem to be predomately flamboyant, evil, or gigglg lbian stereotyp—but central protagonists. The only characters that sprang to md are the hero of BWare's role—playg gam like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, who n be gay pendg on what choic the player mak.
Better than nothg, certaly, but not the same as a character who is simply gay, no player teractn required. )The explanatn uld be as simple as why there are few unassailably gay hero Hollywood movi: more mercial enavors than artistic on, any viatn om the perceived norm that would keep people om spendg their money on a game gets sand away. I always played as Toad or Yoshi, which I didn’t know at the time was bee I was gay!
