Is announcing your sexual orientation on a video game forums really that necessary?

I've noticed it mostly in this forum o.o. Is it really that necessary to know if a Zelda is gay or not lmao?

I'll admit I started it with mentioning my sexual orientation. I thought it was relevant to the discussion at that time, I didn't think it would bring up this odd trend.
It is interesting to note, but I don't think anyone really thinks this is all that important.

Nobody does think it's really important, but it's conversation.

And people saying "is it really necessary to know a player's sexual orientation" are probably just perturbed by someone being gay. To that, I say, grow up. It's a thing of life, pure and simple.

Well THAT'S stereotypical...




Oh look, irony.

I think it's more along the lines of extraneous knowledge. It's like, "State your favorite Zelda color and your favorite food!" That sounds kinda silly. In a thread called "Zelda Asthetics," sexual preference is about as relevant as favorite food.

or asthetics as in body as in a gay guy may have a different opinion than a straight guy as is the same with females as well. Your example of food the lack of relevancy is obvious. With sexual orientation and relating to a female body has a direct relevancy.

...You're in a recreational forum and also in a thread that discusses something insignificant and offtopic on the metagame of Brawl. Do you actually expect people to keep the conversation linear?

Seriously, wording your distaste for such kinds of disclosures as "extraneous" is just a pompous way to indirectly try to shut down the action you criticize. When people tire of the trend, they will leave it, simple as that.

By the way, you would've understood the reason for the trend had you been familiar with its reference to Peach player stereotypes.

Personally? I think the discussion added spice to an otherwise typical poll. It gives space to branch out into discussion of aesthetics from both a heterosexual and homosexual perspective.

I like elegant, regal strong females, I've noticed. I like Zelda in Smash, Helena in D.O.A., Ivy in Soul Calibur (okay, she's also really obviously sexual on top of being regal). Maybe that's attached to me being gay...but...I also like Slayer from GG and Dudley in 3rd strike, so maybe it's just a high class thing.

I can't even begin to guess why a disproportionate amount of Zelda players are gay or bi. *shrug* Again, not that it is important.

I like the default Zelda, though I occasionally play Green or Classic. I'm a straight girl.

*Swoons* Helena....she fights so elegantly. I tried so hard searching up her fighting style, Pi Qua Quan, but it appears to be very remote; there wasn't much written in English about it =(.

And, yes, there appears to be something about elegance that appeals very much to us gay men.

Did anyone ever notice/mention that the old-fasioned dresses had a thingy in the rear that makes a big curve. I know someone mentioned the dress thing, but I guess this topic would be pointless if it wasn't common knowledge.........

Maybe it is coincidence with the sexuality? (I = STRAIT)

Wow.
This turned into a discussion of Straight/Gay Zelda players. Ermmmm.
I'm straight.
I play Zelda.
You're all sick for noticing that amazing looking rear end.
And I prefer her OoT model.

Which Zelda color do you like the best and why?

And does anyone else think that Zelda kind of has a budonkadonk booty?
Red is my favorite color, and Zelda flaunts it well. Other than the red dress, I also keep the normal one.

I noticed the booty, and I like it. I like it a lot. LMAO!

Also for the record... I'm a straight male Zelda player. I actually find Zelda very sexy.

I play blue because I like the red scarf that Sheik gets and Zelda looks nice too (I use Sheik to build damage and Zelda to kill).

... Am I the only straight male Zelda player? >.>
I'm straight and love using Zelda. She's just one of my favorite nintendo characters. Oh, and for my favorite color...gothic Zelda. Yes, overused but I like dark/creepy things.

YES!! >=( NAO GTFO JOO N00B!!!11six

In all seriousness though, I just mentioned mine because others were doing it and I thought it was interesting. ._. I didn't mean to contribute to some sort of "problem"... it was just part of the conversation at the time.

She has the power of three gods. I mean, come on.

Hehe. My first post. I just signed up.

Conforming as it may sound, I do love using the black Zelda.
Yeahh, 14yearold gayboy here. ;)
Surprising how dominant we are in this thread

I use the blue outfit. I'll admit it, I'm a metrosexual man. And the blue outfit is just a fantastic colour for zelda. it really is. Not to mention, you get a cool red bandana for your blue shiek ;)

as for her butt... it's normal. The way the dress is designed makes it look bigger sometimes because the top part of it comes down and covers it. Also, she arches her back often which makes her but stick out and appear larger.

I actually love the way they did zelda. She's gorgeous, but understated... IE she doesn't have massive boobs *cough* ZSS *cough*

What does that have to do with anything?
I'm not asking to challenege you, I'm curious.

I love it, it brings out her eyes.

I love how she's not "rough" like Samus, but not "ditzy" like Peach.
She's very confident and mature, yet... dainty but not helpless.
Elegant.
Like the type of chick to take home to the parents.

Only a woman, a ,metrosexual or a homosexual would care about Zelda's fashion sense.

if your parents are into chicks that can COMPLETELY KICK YOUR A** with hardcore magic spells

It's three goddESSES, Nayru, Din, and Faore.
She doesn't actually command their power any more so than Ganondorf or Link does. She might have a special link to Nayru though.

But in Brawl (and Melee) she uses one power from each of the goddesses, I think that sFoster meant that.

yeah... that wouldn't fly. I know my parents would kill me if I brought home a guy... I'm not sure about a non sexual shiek thing... but I can only assume the punnishment would be similar. Zelda, on the other hand, would recieve no such problems. the whole "she's an elf" thing would make it difficult, but other than that, yes

Shiek is pretty clearly femine in Brawl, at least much moreso than in Ocarina of Time. She's just ... creepy.

Why does this stupidass subject have so many posts?
Because Zelda's hot.

I disagree. Shiek is clearly lest masculine than his/her/its previous forms have been, but still could pass either way. shiek has a complete lack of genetalia. The whole deceptive "is that a bulge there?" "are those breasts there?" character design only adds to the mystery.

Shiek's physical frame doesn't help much because it's thin yet muscular. Muscular enough to be a man, but not so muscular that it can't be a woman.

The voice goes either way.

Too much of the face is covered up forpositive identification there.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. It's creepy either way.

Black-dress Zelda. Goth chicks turn me on.
You just ansvered it yourself.

Okay, let´s not change this into one of those "What is *****´s sex?" threats, they all exist already. Sheik´s sex depents on the person wondering it: if you think that he is a man, there´s nothing that can convince you other way, if you think that she´s a woman then it´s futile to try to prove you wrong.


Also, Sheik is she.

I hate to say it, but I still like the black dress/white hair Zelda. I know, I know, soooooooo overplayed, but I still like it.

Also, as a gay guy, I didn't really notice any budonkadonk on her. I mean, objectively, she doesn't look that curvy, does she? If anything, I noticed that she looks very slight, upright and almost "supermodel" thin. Typical elven sparkly fairy magic princess look and all that. Mind you, I wasn't looking for it, so I could be wrong.

If you want your baby to got back, I'd look more toward the other princess. I mean, she has a special move based on that butt of hers, hearts flying out of her bomber and all.
i completely agree, i love the lore in the game that they actually decided to include zelda from old, thats why I like it, not just its dark and "evil"

And thus why Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time was fooled for so long.
Very clever, Zelda.
