Actually...people sayng LGBT people in GOW would feel "weird"...they don't know a lot about greek mythology / history right?
Forget Atreus, I want Kratos to find a hot dude.
GTFO with "homophobic cultures should be respected"

Jaffe is so fucking hard to read, one day I'd be like "oh yeah he makes a great point" and then another day I'm like "is he fucking stupid? What an asshole!".
He's like a chocolate box of takes. You dunno what your gonna get.
Half-expecting the return of the sex mini-game where Kratos bottoms just to piss these people off.
A subquest in GoW - Ragnarok where Kratos ends up making out with a guy would be the icing on the cake.
Expecting no LGBT people in a game currently exploring Greek and Norse Mythology is uh...
Well, it's certainly not accurate to expect that.
Good on Barlog for calling it out.

First of all, you don't have to worry, that pos is still getting work, haven't you heard, she's doing projects with Ben Shapiro now, smart minds think alike and that shit. /s
Why would you conflicted about that? She's a fucking transphobic, anti-semitic bigot (and lots more, I'm sure), why would anyone with a sane mind want to work with her? She's a publicity nightmare. And in case you haven't noticed, she should not be in front of a camera anyways, because she can't act. You can swap her out with a sack of potatoes in any film she's in and reach the same effect. Well, no, the sack of potatoes would actually draw less attention
Someone brought that up on the replies
It's funny how people never have problem with THAT kind of LGBTQ representation
"This is not about homophobia, it is about cultures and religions of others ( who played gow games and want to enjoy the next games) around the world that do not accept homosexuality and which should be respected."
No one can be that much of an imbecile. This has to be troll.
I read it 10 times and it still makes zero sense. How is a culture of not accepting homosexuality not homophobic?
That's precisely what homophobia is. wtf?

Any excuse to legitimize their views.
"So much for the tolerant left", etc.
They are 100% aware that it's still homophobia, they just think they can get away with it under the guise of "it's muh culture".
To be fair, the norse actually were more homophobic than the greeks were, but it was specifically centered around their distaste of penetration. Basically, so long as Atreus is a top, not a bottom, they'd be cool with it.
That said, where was this outrage over historical accuracy when they made Tyr a weird humanitarian philanthropist lol

Won't somebody please think of the bigots!? We must be respectful to the people who are disrespectful to others; it's not fair to offend them so much!
...
I've always wondered how tiring it must be to be so hateful towards everything and everyone all the damn time. Like, just stop and get on with your life? I promise you that you'll be much happier.

What the fuck? No of fucking course we shouldn't respect backwards idiots like that.dumbmotherfucker said:

Every time I see Cory in those types of arguments he promptly shuts those people down. He does a good job at it. Talking about Jaffe, I was expecting him to be on the wrong side, so good on him as well.

Video games tend to glorify some things at the expense of historicak accuracy. Not all things were ideal if you had a male lover and also belonged to lower classes.
eg according to Solon, if you did have one male lover
-you could not be elected among the 9 archons
-you could not be elected as a priest
-you could not become people's advocate
-you could not rule in or outside of Athens
-you could not be sent as a war messenger
-you could not voice your opinion (because you would be considered uncultured and unstable)
-you could not enter public temples
-you could not get wreathed in religious ceremonies
-you could not enter the sacred place of the Agora
The ones who were convicted yet continued doing such things would be punished by death

she's doing it partially out of spite. I'm not sure she's all that ideological. Yet I know she has shared some crap on social media ( although she didn't author them).
(she claims 2020 is the first time she voted)
* shrug
I don't know if she was a complete lost cause ( before getting fired)
So you are actually excusing her behaviour now. Ok. Good luck with that, I'm out.

i go back and forth mate.
If these troglodytes actually bothered to think before typing up those tweets, they would've found out that:
a) the series already depicted queerness (albeit in the most male-gazey way possible)
b) shockingly, gay people have existed for as long as humanity itself, so it's not that their inclusion would be out of place
Like, I'm sure we've all heard a fair deal of gamer bullshit, but this is just plain stupid. I guess gamers just need to be angry at inclusivity, no matter how nonsensical they end up being.

One last thing about Carano, when she says 2020 was the first time she voted, I realize I shouldn't conpletely take it at face value.
their child is trans so it hits home a little more. still largely an idiot.
who cares
Their understanding was probably informed heavily by 300.
They couldn't pretend to be good people simply "concerned" about other cultures if they did that.
It's the bullshit tolerance of intolerance mindset. These people think that all opinions or views a person might have had value. Save for those that come from the mouths of the marginalized & disenfranchised who they consider less than human and thus not actually listening to or respecting.
Incredible. Lesbian literally comes from Lesbo, a Greece island. Ancient Greek culture was way more open to sexual diversity compared to the 2021 "civilized" world.
