Doin' it for the pink money, maybe?

Why are people saying he is way to feminine by the way he looks. We haven't even seen the guy in action yet. He is literally sitting down in this artwork and aside from the purple jacket, he seems macho to me. Ca we wait until they reveal official gameplay before we jump the gun.

And there should be gay characters in video games because that is just the way life is. That is like asking why should there be Black or any other race for that matter, in video games. When you are trying to be inclusive, you do these things. If anything, I applaud Ubisoft for doing this because this only helps makes Gays in Video Games more of the norm. The more it happens, the more normal it becomes and the less of a reaction like the ones people have posted on here we will get.

Originally posted by Eaten By Lions I'm looking at some controversy over people thinking it is offensive (didn't see that coming /sarcasm) because it's a bit stereotypical but I don't think it's that bad. I don't like to treat gay stereotypes as some terrible thing unless it's derogatory b/c it's not like those type of gays don't exist. Clearly they do, and I don't think it's wrong to represent them.
