This is a 100% serious question.

If Master Chief turned out to be gay would your opinion of the game and it's hero change? In what ways and why?

Would it upset you?

There are very few movies and (as far as I know) video games in which the player is gay This is just an example of how the gay community is statistically under represented in all but niche areas of the media buisness. I would suggest that this is laregly a result of public opinion. Based on the above questions, wouldn't you agree? Perhaps game companies need to help in achieving change.

I would wonder why they would feel the need to make him gay just like when J.K. Rowling said Dumbledore was gay It adds nothing to the story nor does it make it more enjoyable in any way.

Gamers don't want to play as gay men. Hot gay women, yes. But gay men? No.

I'm not much of a fan of Master Chief, besides I don't hate gay characters in my fiction, I like to play as Venom in Guilty Gear, he's gay and still is an awesome character, being gay doesn't mean you have to be effeminate or flamboyant is just a prefference and it isn't exclusive of badassness.

Master Chief and Spartans have teabagged more men than anyone in history, it doesn't get more homoerotic than that, I mean people go into their multiplayer rounds just itching to teabag.

To be honest, that would be pretty cool. Although, it would have to be kept a secret from my parents. Those anti-social government hating religion loving (insert dirty word. I don't care which one, GS blocks them all.)

Master Chief isn't gay ? But seriously, Bungie made Master Chief a faceless character for the sole purpose that the player can make his identity theirs, so Master Chief isn't the best example.

I would burn copies of Halo Reach in front of the Microsoft Executive Building. Bungie made Master Chief, not Master Sin Fornication Sinner Homosexual Chief.Fudgycakes

There's little point in identifying the characters as homosexual or heterosexual. It really doesn't add much of anything to the experience at all most of the time.

I can see it now: Sargeant Johnson: Soldier, your armor is a not regulation! Master Chief: Oh you... Sargeant Johnson: Look here Spartan, that armor needs to adhere to common military protocol. Master Chief: You're cute when you get all angry Cortana: Chief, I need you to pull it back a bit Master Chief: *giggles* That's what he said! Sargeant Johnson: Soldier!?! Master Chief: Sorry Sarg, gotta go save the world. Ta-ta-for-now. Your hat is just de-lish. Caio!

I know, Most of the time they don't even mention their sexuality. I'm referencing to games where it does though.

First, it would be impossible for a spartan to have feelings for another person or anything after all the augmentations, so no, it would be impossible for him to be gay.

It would be fine with me if he's gay

All I can say is that there better be some unlockable rainbow armor. I would rock that when playing online.

It's always nice seeing a gay guy kick some ass. That's one reason why I liked Tru Blood. But with an ambiguous character like master Chief, I really don't think it would matter.
