Of course he's the villain

In all seriousness, a step in the right direction.

Showing gay people as villains is a step in the right direction? I object! :p 

Also, adding Mr_No to the list as he requested. Welcome to the LGBTA list :) 

Yeahhh. Did you see the Far Cry trailer? The villain guy was so mean and evil.People will think twice now before saying something rude :P . 

I for one think a gay character in a game is a bit of an advancement. But why a villain? Is it me, or most of the gay characters in videogames are villains?

(I'm not gay, and don't give a shit about LGBTQXKIZP)

Because that's one of the gay character trope, and probably one of the best villain trope ever: the crazy gay psycopath who builts a remote 80s disco gay empire.

But I think the best way to incorporate a gay characters in a video game would be either if the fact that he's gay is directly relevant to the plot, or if he's randomly diverse character who happens to be gay, as the main hero or protagonist.

The fault too many game devs do when they want to incorporate a minority (a western minority) in a video game is that they force it down you throat like some kind of positive discrimination while in fact reinforcing stereotypes, for example portraying a gay hero with a pink jacket, tinted hairs and effeminate attitude when he could just be a casual male/female hero who happens to gay like lots are in real life.
