I was the happiest lil gay when I realized I could Marry a dude in Skyrim, combine that with Hearthfire and I was living my best fantasy with a Husband, kids and house.
-Sims 1 made it possible to have gay relationships -It wasn't until Mass Effect 3 that characters (specifically male protagonist) were allowed to have gay love interests
Borderlands is a great example of representation, most of the characters are gay/bi/etc and its never labelled or brought up it's simply shown by characters talking about boyfriends or exes etc. It's such a subtle thing but it really makes a difference.
For all y'all in the comments, "gaymer" is a quick way of identifying people online that are part of the LGBT community and love video games. Das it. I've met so many amazing people that share the same struggle and love the same things as me because of this portmanteau. It's not there because "gays are extra" and "we have to put a label on everything". It's there to make it easier to find safe havens for our community.
metacrisis47 This! So much this! I understand people's aversion to pandery and unnecessary labels, but in such a discriminatory and generally bigoted community this is not one of those labels. It can be maddening sometimes dealing with how strangely childish and prejudiced the gaming community as a whole can be, thanks to anonymity and lack of proximity.
Yes, I love being part of this community that we called gaymer, if someone wants to play or chat with me feel free to add me on PSN as Man0oel89 , in Xbox Man0oel
I Love labels , it makes everything easy to understand. So GAY and LGBT are different terms with different definitions so "Gaymer" doesn't work for all
Omg the fairy from OoT was serving looks henny. The new fairy from Breath of the Wild is also serving it but she's not giving that scream laugh anymore. Sashay away
Drag + Zelda crossover?? I'm living for it. Play Breath of the Wild on Switch. You can find new clothes, mix and match, and dye your clothes. And the Great Drag Fairies are back and more fabulous than ever. Oh, and Link can cross dress.
i feel like a lot of gay folk feel like a bi character is somehow less important because the game can still make them """""""straight"""""""" (though, to be fair, straight people also think bi characters who end up in a m/f relationship are somehow straight now) so maybe that's why they specifically asked for homosexual protagonists on the cover.... tbh though it should count lmao.
oh, of course. i wasn't arguing against that - i guess looking back it's not as clear as it was in my head, but i was just trying to guess why they didn't remember life is strange there. it's pretty well known, isn't it?
Overwatch baby! The cover of the game shows Tracer, who is a lesbian. You could argue that Tracer isn't the main character, but she's the one used in the majority of the artwork and advertisements used for the game. I was so happy that I could romance Kaiden in Mass Effect 3. I kept him alive in the first game with the whole hope that it would one day be possible, and Bioware made it happen. Surprised you guys didn't mention Poison from Street Fighter. Like Birdo, she's another trans character, and one of the most prominent ones in fighting games.
NixtonV One of the presenters has already replied in comments above that they talked about many more games and characters but they were cut in the edit.
WOW - please continue these!! this is epic :D the first and second episodes feel a bit rushed so i hope the future episodes are a bit longer than 5 mins each. love everything you do, WOW! :D
I watched on wow plus, I hope we can have more of this, I love everything about games and drag! Those guys are so amazing! Please keep doing this I loveeeeeee this guys , your content is perfect
CMON HISTORY!! This was SUCH a step up from what wowpresents usually provides (stereotypical seductive gay guys with abs). LOVED this, keep up the good work!
gurl where is dax for this? well, now I think about it I guess dax is more into comics but i'd assume he'd be into video games too and this'd be perfect to give him a promo platform as he's a rlly underrated queen
comics and video games are pretty different and not everyone that is into comics are into video games and vice versa. he is a great queen tho, i agree! :)
As a Gaymer, I am extremely happy you guys have done this episode. Please do more and go more in depth. This was a great surface introduction to a topic, and I'd like to see them go more in depth on specific games, or trends or gamer events.
The Great Fairy laugh and RuPaul's laugh playing simultaneously at 2:58 is something that I never realized I NEEDED in my life. I WAS SLAIN, THEN GIVEN LIFE. Thank you for this series.
Yeah like Birdo was a villain, Poison from Final fight, Ash from Streets of Rage 3, flea from Chrono trigger, Baron Von Glower in The Beast Within, Alfred Ashford or Morpheus D Duvall in Resident Evil, Vivian in Paper Mario (Although Spoilers she does become a companion), MAra Aramov & Dr Elsa Weissinger in Syphon Filter, Abu'l Nuqoud ind Assasin's Creed (While not a villain, you do have to kill him in the game) Binbogami and Yakbyougami in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2, Crystal and Amber in Dead rising 2 those are the bad guys, and though a lot of games like fable, sims, animal crossing ect will allow same sex relations, I agree that visibility without the desire on the players part is less fruitful on the protagonist side
Really? I don't recall any at all and I've been playing games my whole life. Maybe one or two but even still not enough to make me think there was a problem
A lot of characters in the Borderlands franchise are gay or bi! The game also represents feminism which is pretty damn cool. I love the franchise so much and is a huge part of my life. ❤
Are you serious? For longest time, I've been wanting to buy a used copy/digital DL of Borderlands Remastered because my oldest bro is a huge fan of the series. I've never had a 'real' reason to play the game, but now I do.
I didn't know I needed this kind of videos but I want more! Such genuine and smart free conversations about gaymes! Simple and effective: Fatality to me!
I AM LOVINGGGG THISSSSSSS!!! WHEN THESE DUDES BROUGHT UP ZELDA, I LEGIT DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE! Seriously, if this doesnt become a weekly video Im gonna be pissed.
Thank you for this! It's nice to see WOW covering all different types of gay culture in media today, especially with this video as the "gaymer" community is pretty small. Hope we get a series :)
I love this! hoping it would be a series and to include some of the geeky queens from drag race! Nina, Dax, Kimchi... all of them! Not entirely canon but... Fang and Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII are considered a couple, and recently there has been more and more actual LGBT characters in games (Overwatch, Life is Strange, Undertale.. etc) which makes me happy! please keep this as a series!
One of the best villains of final fantasy is kefka. He is not necessarily gay but a dude serving clown realness post apocalyptic look and if look kefkas cg right next to detox.. You cant unsee it :)
DREAMFALL CHAPTERS! The final part of the Longest Journey trilogy where one of the main characters, Kian, reveals himself to be gay and has an open conversation about with side character Likho, who's bi or gay. Also has two lesbian teens in it, it's real cool!
I was the happiest lil gay when I realized I could Marry a dude in Skyrim, combine that with Hearthfire and I was living my best fantasy with a Husband, kids and house.
Sounds like so much fun
please continue this segment, there needs to be more documented evidence of gayming in the world
yung garbage We definitely plan on it 😊 Give us a share to help us out and we'll be back erry week 🙌
yung garbage I should get back on my series then, haha. A toast to the gayming community!
Chase Kolozsi I'm surprised this was only posted, if not done, recently on the channel.
TheCaliMack What do you mean? You thought they would done something like this sooner?
You got it! 😊👍🏾

metacrisis47 Thank you. Also, this is WOW. Of course it's going to have a gay point of view. Plus, it's just a fun play on the word.
You know it! 😊👍🏾

this was the first time i ever heard someone clap for EA Games
Sir Mutantenkraken first and only
TheChaosyami Haha, credit where credit is due.
Sir Mutantenkraken haha!
Sir Mutantenkraken I don't know, I kind of liked their licensed Harry Potter games...
I'll clap EA's funeral
Omg the fairy from OoT was serving looks henny. The new fairy from Breath of the Wild is also serving it but she's not giving that scream laugh anymore. Sashay away
David Ornelas that was the most iconic laugh ever. I'm so sad lmao
It was iconic. This new fairy moans and giggles but no screaming. It's just not the same....
BOTW giving us BBF: big beautiful fairies. but she needs a lesson on consent
Haha! I thought so too 😊
And her mug was beat for the gods. There had to be a drag fan amongst the Nintendo development team
Great Fairy is totally Bianca Del Rio
Micah Elliott Haha!
I was thinking Detox. 😂
A gay person on the cover...they clearly forgot about Overwatch then
Thats what I was gonna say! Tracer is a lesbian on the cover of one of the most popular games today, Overwatch.
Kip Sebastian they did forget about Tracer but the editors did stick in a picture of the Overwatch box art towards the beginning of the video
Tracer isn't the "protagonist" of Overwatch, though, right? There is no single protagonist of that game.
Kip Sebastian We actually had an entire segment about Tracer and Overwatch (which is where that was from) but it was cut.
+Chase Kolozsi Ahh alright, thanks for replying :)
Drag + Zelda crossover?? I'm living for it.
Play Breath of the Wild on Switch. You can find new clothes, mix and match, and dye your clothes. And the Great Drag Fairies are back and more fabulous than ever. Oh, and Link can cross dress.
Life is strange has a bi girl on the cover does that count?
i feel like a lot of gay folk feel like a bi character is somehow less important because the game can still make them """""""straight"""""""" (though, to be fair, straight people also think bi characters who end up in a m/f relationship are somehow straight now) so maybe that's why they specifically asked for homosexual protagonists on the cover.... tbh though it should count lmao.
And Still LGBT have "bi" in it so it's not less important at all to have Bi char to represent too. We need all diversity of character ^^
oh, of course. i wasn't arguing against that - i guess looking back it's not as clear as it was in my head, but i was just trying to guess why they didn't remember life is strange there. it's pretty well known, isn't it?
It counts ! Bisexual are awesome !
Overwatch baby! The cover of the game shows Tracer, who is a lesbian. You could argue that Tracer isn't the main character, but she's the one used in the majority of the artwork and advertisements used for the game.
I was so happy that I could romance Kaiden in Mass Effect 3. I kept him alive in the first game with the whole hope that it would one day be possible, and Bioware made it happen.

What I was thinking
NixtonV One of the presenters has already replied in comments above that they talked about many more games and characters but they were cut in the edit.
NixtonV We know. We talked about her a lot but it didn't make the cut. There will be more in the future. I promise 😊👍🏾
Oooooh I hope this isn't a one-off, I'd love to see more of this!
asinnerontheright It sure isn't! See you on episode 2 😘
I don't think it is 😊 see ya episode 2 😊👍🏾
WOW - please continue these!! this is epic :D the first and second episodes feel a bit rushed so i hope the future episodes are a bit longer than 5 mins each. love everything you do, WOW! :D
I watched on wow plus, I hope we can have more of this, I love everything about games and drag! Those guys are so amazing! Please keep doing this I loveeeeeee this guys , your content is perfect
we neeeeeed more. i live for people being educated on LGBTQ+ characters in games
Tracer from Overwatch is a gay character, and she's on the cover.
I volunteer to sell my soul just so this can become a regular show
Tėma Perevanesjan haha! I don't think that'll be necessary but I appreciate your commitment 😊👍🏾
i am a gaymer and i can say that there is nothing like this out there so i am so glad Wow Presents has started this. KEEP GOING I LOVE IT
RamPagE CLANZz Thank you! 😊👍🏾
CMON HISTORY!! This was SUCH a step up from what wowpresents usually provides (stereotypical seductive gay guys with abs). LOVED this, keep up the good work!
Keep this series up! Gay TV, Gay Movies, Gay Videogames! ITS FABULOUS 💖✨💖
Jack Sledden Thanks Jack! 😊👍🏾
gurl where is dax for this? well, now I think about it I guess dax is more into comics but i'd assume he'd be into video games too and this'd be perfect to give him a promo platform as he's a rlly underrated queen
Who is Dax?
johnny cooper Dax ExclamationPoint from Rupaul's season 8
lutalica Dax the nerd? 😂
Hope she survives in video games unlike her lipsynch...
comics and video games are pretty different and not everyone that is into comics are into video games and vice versa. he is a great queen tho, i agree! :)
As a Gaymer, I am extremely happy you guys have done this episode. Please do more and go more in depth. This was a great surface introduction to a topic, and I'd like to see them go more in depth on specific games, or trends or gamer events.
ozmark123 😊👍🏾
Super hyped to see you guys doing a Gayming series! Get it gurls and boys!
MORE PLEASE. THIS DOESN'T GET TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH
The Great Fairy laugh and RuPaul's laugh playing simultaneously at 2:58 is something that I never realized I NEEDED in my life. I WAS SLAIN, THEN GIVEN LIFE. Thank you for this series.
CryingWalrus Thank you for your support 😊
Was really hoping they'd mention how LGBT characters are made villains most of the time too...
In video games? not so much, I have a pretty hard time thinking of some that are villains
Mitchel Tulak Are they? I can't seem to think of any right off the top of my head. 🤔
Yeah like Birdo was a villain, Poison from Final fight, Ash from Streets of Rage 3, flea from Chrono trigger, Baron Von Glower in The Beast Within, Alfred Ashford or Morpheus D Duvall in Resident Evil, Vivian in Paper Mario (Although Spoilers she does become a companion), MAra Aramov & Dr Elsa Weissinger in Syphon Filter, Abu'l Nuqoud ind Assasin's Creed (While not a villain, you do have to kill him in the game) Binbogami and Yakbyougami in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2, Crystal and Amber in Dead rising 2
those are the bad guys, and though a lot of games like fable, sims, animal crossing ect will allow same sex relations, I agree that visibility without the desire on the players part is less fruitful on the protagonist side
BubbleGun209 I forget sometimes Birdo was originally a villain.
Really? I don't recall any at all and I've been playing games my whole life. Maybe one or two but even still not enough to make me think there was a problem
Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age: Inquisition! His story arc about his family facing his homosexuality!
KEEP THIS SERIES GOING PLEASE THESE GUYS ARE ACTUALLY SMART AND NOT A STEREOTYPE OF THE THIRSTY GAYMER LIKE DAX DID
MyMrStrange Thanks! See ya for episode 2 😊👍🏾
Tracer in Overwatch is on the cover and she's gay. Love this! hope for more gaymer videos
A lot of characters in the Borderlands franchise are gay or bi! The game also represents feminism which is pretty damn cool. I love the franchise so much and is a huge part of my life. ❤
Are you serious? For longest time, I've been wanting to buy a used copy/digital DL of Borderlands Remastered because my oldest bro is a huge fan of the series. I've never had a 'real' reason to play the game, but now I do.

Jess E now there's an idea 😀
:)
Gaymers are a market that Wow Presents hasn't tapped into yet. But i think you guys could definitely do the trick!
Chloe and Max kiss from Life is strange has to be my fav gay scene from any video game.
Great idea for a segment.
