[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Yeah, I never caught that either. I was like :oMetal_Mario99

It was kind of hinted at in the 6th book.

I never read the books. I think they're gay.

Oh no you didn't!

1.5% of the United states is gay...The percentage of Gay Gamers is probably significantly lower.

I know I'm making a mistake responding to this, but where oh where did that statistic come from?

Possibly a telephone survey which asked "Are you gay prompting the person on the other end to angrily reply "None of you **** business" and hang up.

Or the statistic could be the percent of Americans who are openly gay ;however, that number still seems pretty low.

The argument isn't about the numbers. Having a relatable protagonist isn't always the main objective (See God of War and Professor Layton). There really isn't a reason for it, but if a developer wanted to make a gay protagonist he has the ability to do so.

It'd be like announcing that MC is heterosexual, is there any point to doing so?

I don't play much Halo anymore, but I imagine I'd just ignore the announcement and continue inserting my own personality choices into MC.

Cause I don't see him or want him **** around the guys nor the girls. He's more a freeman type that you view yourself as him when playing the game. He's more of an asexual type of guy.

Considering the most recent US census didn't ask about sexuality making it very hard to judge what percentage of the US is gay I'm going to go ahead and assume they pulled these figures from their asses.

Game companies should not start making Gay Protagonists. The Protoganists are Heterosexual because that is what the majority of Gamers identify with.

They also shouldn't make them badass. The protagonists shouldn't be badass because the majority of gamers are not badass. How can you relate (or feel connected) to such a character?

"Badass" is subjective. Everyone has a different definition of it, plus, most kids playing these games see the protagonist as someone they would want to be.
