random thoughts and funny gaming humor

So I was on SA in the MGS3 LP thread and was thinking about Teh Gay and why it's so prevalent in MGSverse. I have a theory.

I always thought [Ocelot's homosexuality and the gayness in the series in general] was a covert way for Kojima to make male gamers feel uncomfortable. I mean, MGS1 was a fairly straight-forward gamer, albeit a Deconstruction of American action movies. In MGS2, Kojima deliberately tried to fuck with gamers, so we meet Vamp and watch Snake and Otacon be completely married. There was huge backlash, which made Kojima >8( at gamers, so MGS3 was created, giving us gay subtext for Ocelot, EVA, Volgin, and the Raiden-expy, Raikov. MPO did the same for Big Boss, as I heard (I lack a PSP). Then came MGS4, which repeatedly kicked gamers in the balls in different sexual ways (lol, huge male rape subtext, aging fears, overt gamer-slamming, etc), so... I think it's all a ~*~conspiracy~*~ to make gamers uncomfortable while playing. Because Kojima loves his metagame.

Agree/Disagree/General thoughts?


Also, for my own reference because I may icon later:
