What would you do if you switched on your console one day to find a message flash up on the screen saying "I am gay?"
Think about it.
Would you turn it off, and never turn it on again? Would you feel guilty for turning it on in the first place, or feel dirty? Would you get rid of it, erase it from your memory? Or would you continue playing with it as always?
Think about the console for a moment. Probably a Gaystation (though the sexuality of the Gaycube could be called into question) it would have taken some courage to finally come out and reveal it's true self to you. You would have had to have built up a strong relationship with your console for it to be able to come out and tell you this things.
Could you easily throw away all of the good times? Remember when you stand up all night playing, coudl you dismiss all of that because your machine was a homosexual?
Remember when you played in your pants. Would you feel comfortable doing that still? Would you be able to undress in front of your gay console without feeling that it was looking at you, or that it might fancy you/
Personally, my feelings on the matter are that it shouldn't be important. It's still the same console as it always was, just because it's gay it shouldn't change your relationship. Also, just because your console is gay it doesn't mean that it fancies you. It's probably more likely to be attracted to the lamp in the corner, or the alarm clock.
As it doesn't really matter whether your console is gay or not, will this mean and end to the petty name calling, the Gaystation and the Gaycube? I hope so, because these consoles are there to play games on, and what they choose to do with the rest of their lives is up to them.
