As a gay male, it is not. I have been represented in "diversity" in games time and time again — an emotional wreck, a stereotyped gay, a sex addict, a predator looking to turn straight and bi men. I've even been window dressing to make the "world better" and had a WHOLE planet isolated in the universe for people like

I don't feel I have. I have. DOMA. DADT. Constitutional amendments. Oklahoma, just this week, decided to consider reparative therapy. Texas Republicans wrote it into their platform. I don't think I've felt oppression. I have felt oppression.

Somewhere around the time that I was socially sorted below females because heterosexuals (men and women) decided that my identity as gay meant I'm not even a woman — I'm a sinful, disgusting, abomination of a human being.

Sure. I'm a gay white male. Where do you want me to start, Bob?

Yeah, don't you DARE design a game around a male character. You have to have women or else you're immediately sexist. You excluded a woman!

Yeah, men should just sit down, shut up, and take the constant abuse from radical feminists who want to treat them like shit in the name of diversity and equality.

Sadly, no. Kotaku is too busy trying to manufacture constant antipathy between men and women to bother with video games.

Oh no, not the evil MAN! How dare a man exist! Quick, Patricia, inform us about how horrible it is that men dare exist!

Well, let me just go to Japan like a good little gay...go to my little island, right?

Oh, so it's OK for you to be for cutting my penis, but when a man says, "Dude, don't cut me" you're going to pretend to "give zero fucks." You cared enough to cheer on circumcision, but you don't care enough to listen to ACTUAL MEN who don't want it? Hm!

It's my penis. It's not my mom's penis or my dad's penis. It's mine. I should have the right to decide what happens to my body that I will spent the rest of my life with. Just like any woman should have.

Thank you for trying. Unfortunately, you're on Jezebel trying to note that genital cutting of any type is wrong. The response, as you've seen, will be a shrill scream that we cannot possibly consider this as a broad issue. We must, and can only, focus on women and any attempt to note the wrongness in both will be met

I think women are able to enjoy games regardless of protagonist. Men can, too. Whatever qualities those protagonists provide, men and women can enjoy them.

I'm actually in a down period in life. I'm quite enjoying it for once! :)

For the record, men and women ambulate differently. Men have these things called testicles. Women have these things called breasts. Men tend to have wider stances and longer gaits as they tend to not want to squish their testicles and they are taller. Men also have higher centers of gravity in their sternum area.

I'm gay. Will you straight marry me?

You know what is my problem? Systematic oppression by Americans who refuse to allow me my right to marry, Americans who support the right for me to be fired for existing, those who think it's appropriate to use my existence as a slur against others, and the complete lack of representation of LGBT persons in any

Absolutely. I was going to buy DA:Inquisition...but seeing that their developers are out in force pushing this issue is really making me reconsider buying the game. I've already decided to never again buy Borderlands because of Anthony Birch.

Stereotyping a group of people based upon a common characteristic is so progressive of you.

Bioware is guilty of some of the worst misteps on diversity ever. SWTOR put in a gay planet where all gay people live...all rounded up on one planet. DA:1 had straight guys that could be converted to gay with a few gifts. DA:2 had no gay guys...they were both bisexual and could be converted with a few gifts.
