I'm pretty sure this belonged to a gentleman for self-pleasure because most fencing schools weren't enrolling women.

I sincerely wish they were not, I know they’re worth a fortune but heart shaped rings look too much like a Barbie’s jewellery for my taste.

that dildo box is tight, yo.

Except he’s had a wife and child. In fact a lot of the MK character have had straight relationships or flings. Including there being multiple children characters in the new game. And few of the ladder mode endings talking about unseen children of the characters.

We’ve already got bigots claiming this is “pandering”. Apparently, any acknowledgement whatsoever of sexual orientation is pandering (unless they’re straight of course!).

I'm not gonna lie, my ears perked up at "leather." What an interesting....sensation.

Well, I was never going to play the game to find out for myself (I’m not into fighting games), yet this story is interesting to me.

Is his Fatality picking up a game and injecting politics into it? Because nothing is more barbaric and fatal to a Hardcore Gamer than that.

Well, in-game, they don’t even hint at his orientation until long after his personality is established. They make you like him, play as him, get to know him... and then hint at it. To me, he’s not “the gay one”. He’s the “former thief” and “heir of Kung Lao”... with his orientation being one of many traits.

If that’s how you choose to view it.

Johnny Cage is heterosexual. Spoiler alert.

Congratulations! You acknowledge that a character doesn’t need to be defined by their sexuality, where it can be just as important, or unimportant, as their hair color or skin color or preference in weapon choice, where it is, in all honesty, just another mundane facet of that informs a more complete character.

I don’t think takes place in feudal Japan though.... unless they had robot assassins back then too.

What? He's like exactly the same color as Big Ang. Also, contouring. That's what's going on.

YASSSS

What about people who really really have come to loathe anime? The person (cough: me) who has had too many "well meaning friends" that kind of ruined anime for them? Like, Sailor Moon. I just don't even . . .

Squinting at the original column. I guess one reason I’m not an advice columnist is that I’d immediately tell her to get an abortion. You get an abortion, you get an abortion, everybody gets an abortion! [insert Oprah gif] First, abortion. Then, STD treatment. And finally an examination of one’s life and one’s choices.

Yep. They just got tired of waiting for him to leave.

A good friend from ages ago told me she dated Flea for a time. Said he was very bright, and quite the gentleman. She thought the world of him. Pleasant surprise for a guy who wears stuffed-animal pants!

Looks like about 4 people with 11 burners have a real hard-on for Pinkham.
