Tingle RPG gets "gay"


Don't worry, we wouldn't want you to get fired from work, where we're sure you sit at your comfy desk clicking on the refresh button to get all the latest bits of news as they're posted. It's OK, we used to do the same thing before we became indentured servants worked here. And while we can say that Tingle himself performs no gay acts in the embedded video, we cannot say as much for the NPCs he surrounds himself with. Don't worry though, it's definitely safe to view while at work.

I guess all that homosexuality that occurs among animals is unnatural, too, instead of a form of population control.

Damn those animals! Send them to hell!


Reproduction without limits = death. It's not all about your penis, my friend.

As for the game... haha, it's all in good fun to assume this or that or make jokes about Tingle's need for a good pounding, but let's not take it too far. Assuming that this game is REALLY meant to be some weird celebration of a homosexual lifestyle is silly and, well, rather ignorant. It's not about diversity or "balancing" with "straight" characters. It's a silly game. Read into it what you want, but at the end of the day, it's still just a silly, fun game and nothing more.

#21 I admire you for respecting the lifestyle of others even though it conflicts with your belief. However, homosexuals don't act like tingle, and if you (or any other person) thinks that then you need to actually meet people because the media, stereotypes are passing off their ideologies on to you and you're falling for it. Gay people don't even act like that Hard Gay Japanese guy - i think you're more likely to find a straight male stripper acting like that.

You don't hear gay people complain that all those games with no gay characters in them should have them so don't assume that just cos make believe fairy characters act weirdly makes them 'gay'. this game is a bit of fun, and it definately looks like its not gonna be able to take on the might of proper zelda games.

my final thought.....any game should have the right to have gay characters without outrage from the gaming public. just like having characters from races and religions.
