I look at games today, and what do I see? Characters with confused sexual identities, homosexuals and sexless creatures. Now, I'm all for having equal opertunities in games, but when it comes to the point it is now- where there are virtually no straight people in games- you have to wonder.
Allow me to give a few examples...
Metal Gear Solid 2 has been called the game of the year by some. But what kind of image is it premoting? As the centre, you have Raiden- a blonde rubber-wearing child-like character who clearly needs some sexual identity. Either side of him you have Ottacon and Solid. Not only do these too seem to spend WAY too much time together (over 2 years), but Otacon seems to have an incestuous lust for his (underage) sister, while Snake is "unequiped" in the child-making area.
Even gamings most loved characters have changed. Poor old Sonic, once the coolest hedgehog in town, seems to completely shy away from foxy young Amy Rose, and would rather spend time with the (underage) two-tailed Miles. Not only that, but while most characters in the game sport clothes, Sonnic and Tails hang about butt-naked! Oh, and don't even get me started on Knuckles, who spends all his time alone on his floating island... wonder how he "satisfies" himsef?
In fact, the only straight game characters are licenced ones- like James Bond.
It really is a sad day for gaming

What about Ryo from Shenmue, the amount of girls he could get with in the game, but no he'd rather hang around in back alleys talking to shady men.

Nah! Link has girls all the time- the elf girl in his village, Zelda, and wasn't there one in the rogue village by the desert?
Oh, and Pacman had Ms. Pac Man...

hehe...how about all the Pokemon? I always thought something was up with Pikachu and Ash...they are both male right?!?
I see where you coming from and it's pretty true, yet funny. But I don't think MOST kids lets say would look at it like that. You being the more 'MATURE' :-) gamer would notice these things yet they are so true.
Oh and has Mario ever changed his shoes?
