Far Cry 4's villain is not gay.

Indeed lol. Just take the L and move on. Makes you look really bad when you jump to conclusions, then turn out to be dead wrong and dig your heels in, insisting you were right all along.

Yeah, had to chuckle when I saw this and thought about how hard the guys in the other thread fought against a gay villain.

... I suppose you aren't around Asian guys that often? Many look very young as they age and they tend to lose less hair/hair colouring, in my experience.

Even if he was gay, so fucking what? A man can be gay and usurp a nation if he wants.
Right you are. Some people seem to think that a gay can't have the ambition or the skill to massacre a lot of people.
What is a social justice warrior? Is it a new game like dynasty warriors?
And regarding the other poster I agree. He went overboard but we all make mistakes.
Anyway, I didn't think he was gay. I thought he was bisexual but to be fair I find it hard to guess the sexuality of these type of characters. Is the villain Asian? It is early in the morning so yeah.
Well said!
People definitely jumped ahead, but the only issue they had with the character was that he might be a stereotype.
Glad that's not the case.

Of what?
I have gay friends and know other people who are openly gay.
Some are the nicest people I've ever known. Some are the biggest pricks I've ever known.
This forum is full of fuckwits at the moment, trying to think too much into having every fucking type of different person in the universe represented in games.
If the villain was gay it would have been like any possibility... you can be ANY type of person (yes even bad, flamboyant, psycho...) and still have your own choice of sexual preference.
People need to grow up, get outside a bit more and stop thinking too much into videogames.

pip pip cheerio you slags!
While I disagree with this in the sense it's a game forum and this is what people are here for, I agree with you on everything else. People are getting ridiculous and assuming so much of what they think people want and what games need in terms of representation. Real answer is, there are just so many different types of people and style that misrepresenation can't possibly be a real thing. Believe it or not, some people DO fit stereotypes, that's just a really small fact of life, and people who get overworked on the little things are missing the point on real issues.
Wasn't Skyfall's villain bi? I remember him having a girlfriend. But then, Skyfall doesn't really count because that movie's "story" was really more a poor excuse to string as many non-sensical, random action scenes together as possible rather than an actual story. Still can't believe that the guy who wrote that bullshit is the same guy who's writing the greatness that is Penny Dreadful.

Damn Farcry 4 is gonna make hella money. Keep up the "controversy", and it'll be on GTA level sales soon enough lol.

Yep.
I too would like to see that. Something like Yurimaru from Ninja Scrolls
Or even Gemma (although he's bi).

It's an unfortunate trend these days that some people are so eager and willing to pick up their torches and start a witch hunt over the slightest and most insignificant things, such as a pink suit and a bad haircut
Good grief. The white man oppressing the country isn't white and isn't a bad stereotype of gay people as it turns out, wearing pink doesn't make you gay.
I guess looking at how people dress around there would have been too much to do before getting the outrage on. For reference, here's the king of Bhutan, a country in the Himalayas, looking fabulous next to his wife.

I don't know if I even want to play this game now that I know the villain is not gay.

Because most people in Africa aren't black? Capcom adding in a bunch of white and hispanic (I think?) people just made the whole thing even more silly. And there were never any "grass skirt" people in the game that I can remember?
But were they mad European people were portrayed as middle-aged folks in 4?
There are grass skirt guys in the swamp section of the game. However do I recall people already complaining after the first trailer which didn't show any of the grass skirt people

All this time I thought he had been confirmed as gay before because everyone was acting like he was and now I find out people just assumed he was gay because he's wearing pink and has funky hair?

It wasn't actually that bad. If you look back at those two threads (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=819730 and http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=834773), there were a lot of people who where sceptic weither he was even gay. As always it was vocal minority.
Seems to be a lot of that these days. People seem to be climbing over each other to express outrage at nothing in order to try and look like they care about...something, I guess.
Getting offended on other people's behalf is incredibly offensive, as it's essentially you telling them, in your infinite wisdom as a middle-class white male, what they should be offended about.

But... but... there's flowers on his clothes. And it looks like a dress. He... he must be gay!
Riiight?

There weren't any from me, mostly because I still don't see how being gay would make him a lesser character, anyway.

It never even crossed my mind, but now I'm kinda sad he isn't gay.

Can't believe this is still an issue.
that whole discussion was beyond the point of absurdity and logic. Some people assumed he was gay because of his flamboyant style and feared that could be disrespectful, but isn't assuming one person is gay for his dressing style already disrespectful per se?
