OTP 30 Day Challenge - Day 4: On a Date
Posting early again, I'm sort of in a roll here!
Seriously, why cant the game industry stop being so mainstream and take some risks by making homosexual or at least bisexual characters? They should try looking at internet demographs at what people do with their characters. They'd find that putting rainbows in their games won't be so bad. A true gamer can appreciate a game company taking risks like that.

Nah, its good. I know the statistics, but this movement needs to happen. People throw fits already anyway, whats one more topic to add to the list? Companies generally dont care about aesthetic bitching from gamers, just gameplay feedback and elements that would legitimately help them improve.
Homosexuality may sadly never become mainstream since it's just one of those things that's bound to offend some buttmuffin who lives in a plastic bubble. It's considered "abnormal" to these said bubble fools, but who cares? That's why art like this exists and will continue to exist. Kudos to your Fox x Wolf art. :)
it would be nice to see such a thing in the gaming world but until homosexual relationships are no longer seen as a bad or nasty thing you'll only see it as a either a non-cannon or or bonus relationship that is easily avoidable (Dragon age, Mass effect, ect.) No company even gaming companies like Sony or Microsoft will risk upsetting their main demographic (straight males and females) to please their minority consumers (homosexuals, bi-sexuals, lesbians). It's common business practice not to take a large risk if you don't need to. It's why the film industry has stagnated they are unwilling to risk large sums of money on a new radical idea or script; and since gaming is becoming the new movie industry i foresee the same problem arising soon as well
The truth is Rath, Anakar is right. Since homosexuality is still seen as a bad thing, or even illegal across certain countries, the companies will not commit themselves bring that concept to their games or movies. So until the whole world accept Homo/bisexuality, were gonna have to suck it up for now...
