I take it you'd be fine with someone like Lara Croft being a lesbian?

Nathan Drake is a manly Everyman action hero akin to the likes of Indiana Jones and John Mclane. Gay people are not manly at all, the complete opposite in fact. People like Nathan Drake just aren't gay and such a thing couldn't be taken seriously.

If he was a hairdresser then maybe buta action hero? Lol no way. Besides he talks and acts normally.

And no I wouldn't want a gay Lara Croft either. The character is perfectly fine beingstraight, nobody has ever complained about her being straight.

Clearly you haven't seen any gay man outside of sitcom stereotypes. 


I know plenty of gay people from my college, the two I'm most familiar with are both aiming to become hairdressers. I've also seen two fights at college involving gay people and both times they werent fighting guys they were "fighting" as in slapping around against girls.

I've seen other YouTube videos with gay people fighting and it's either against women or other gay guys. They don't fight men because they don't fight like men because they aren't manly at all.

It simply wouldn't make sense for a guy like Nathan Drake as manly and tough and bad ass as he is to be a gay guy who are the complete opposite in character.

People don't wanna play an action game like Uncharted and know that the guy likes to take it up the bum, it'd just ruin it. Itd be like watching a Rambo movie and him being gay it'd just look silly.

Whatever dude. Your type of ignorance can't be cured. What you're saying is along the lines of me saying that straight men can't be emotional or women can't be tough. It's ridiculous and flat out wrong. There are no absolutes when it comes to sexuality, gender or whatever. They don't translate into actions or personality 100% of the time. Your 'experiences' don't account for everyone in the world, please be aware of that next time.

And with that, I'm done responding to people in this thread. Thank you to the people who were actually thoughtful and respectful in their responses; I really appreciate that. But there seems to be a lot of miscommunication and flat out ignorance as well, and I'm kinda disappointed.

No its nothing like saying that in the slightest, I mean its damn near impossible for men to not have emotions in the first place.

Sure though there are no absolutes, Nathan Drake could be a closet pedophile maybe yet I wouldn't want to play as that either.

You look at action heroes in movies and all the ones people know are straight, same with the superheroes, the worthwhile ones not the Ines nobody cares about who they make gay just to say they have a gay character.

Thankfully game developers know this which is why it doesn't done, having a gay main character adds nothing to the game and would only put off a lot of players.

Not everything needs to be PC.



Well that hidden scene in Uncharted 2 where Drake takes it up the bum would suggest so

O f course it would be believable, since sexuality isn't something that can be seen just by looking at someone.

I read his post and he never implied straight men can't be emotional or women can't be tough.  Virtually everyone is aware there's no absolutes in sexuality gender, etc.  My advice is don't be so emotional or call everyone ignorant because they don't agree with you on something that is outside of the mainstream.

With all of that said I don't see anythign wrong with NAthan Drake being gay

You need to watch 10 hours of gay porn, and youll be surprised to see how many of them would kick your ass and is more manly than most straight people you have ever known of.



Goddammit. I'm halfway through the Left Behind DLC.
