VIO GAM OWNED BY THE GAYS

SMALL TOWN EMO, a "gay boy" game for GameBoy!!! What started off as a well-tentned article, wrten rponse to Andrew Mea’s Gamasutra piece about the lack of LGBT characters vio gam, soon spun to wild accatns of homophobia.

” Jim Sterlg cid that the ia that Mea threw out at the end of his article was so brilliant that he would elaborate on why Nathan Drake would make such a fantastic gay character. Reasons for this ranged om his abily to mata a relatnship wh women, his populary and likabily beg able to fluence and change attus, msg wh genuely homophobic gamers that adore the seri, and beg able to showse a flhed out gay character that wasn’t jt a mpy stereotype. That last reason seemed to h a nerve wh a few gay gamers… Joshua Meadows wrote a rather lengthy rponse (which has sce been updated) to Sterlg’s rponse to Mea’s article on his gamg blog.

All that he seems to have taken away om ially readg Sterlg’s article was that Nathan Drake would be a good gay character bee nobody thks that he’s gay. In , Sterlg mentned how wonrful was to disver that one of the characters was gay, when he ially had no ia. “So, there is: Sterlg’s ia of a posive gay role mol is someone who isn’t flamboyant, don’t brg up his sexualy unls relentlsly asked about , and won’t h on you unls you make the first move.

“No, the only good gay is not one who is untectable, easily mistaken for straight, and bro-ey.

” “I see enough gay-hatg sh on var gay s and among the gay muny, don’t need gam too.

” “what bugs me more are the “I am gay and I agree” ments, blah blah somethg hegemony” My ial reactn to all of this was purely nfn. He was support of more diverse reprentatns of gay characters.

He simply stated that would be rehg to see a different kd of gay character. Rather than gay character personali that we’ve seen many tim before, like Glee’s Kurt or Enchanted Arms’ Makoto, how rehg was to see someone like Max om Happy Endgs or Kanji om Persona 4? It’s simply a sire to showse another si of the gay muny, not to showse a “rrect” si.

I also fd extremely sensive to acce gay men that would agree wh Sterlg of adherg to cultural hegemony. Do gay men that don’t relate to many of the gay characters we see media today not serve characters to relate to themselv?

How n more feme gay men say that they are simply beg themselv, then turn around and acce ls feme gay men of adherg to cultural hegemony?
