My husOtter and I recently picked up playing this game from the very, very gay-friendly City of Heroes MMORPG. City of Heroes/Villains would have a gay prom, specials during Pride Month, but still acknowledge Valentine’s Day and create a vibe that was really very positive for all gamers and gaymers alike. There were women characters; there were African-American characters.
Then they closed up shop.
With a lifelong love of gaming, one would have figured I’d have stepped away a long, long time ago. To find any kind of gayness in gaming meant I had to squint at the screen and really ponder if the suggestiveness of a character was anything remotely linked to homosexuality. There was a high probability it was merely a bit of bone, tossed to keep our money but no thought was given to it.
Now here’s this.
Same sex love on the interwebs; and its even being used to promote the game.
I would have preferred that it wasn’t newsworthy; that maybe it was just part of everyday life. Well, okay, fuck that, it’s there and they’re going to milk it to get more woofers to the keyboard.
Good. I’m diggin’ it.
Peace,
Bardy
