Blog:Grust's Top 5 Gay Characters

I've criticized LGBT propaganda in Western Entertainment quite a bit, with gay characters made simply to pander as well as coining a trope called "Last Minute Gay" where in the last episode or season of a series, a main character becomes gay which I consider the most pathetic and laziest attempt to SJW pandering ever. This in turn has caused tolerance for LGBT people to go down, which even GLAAD admitted to. However I did admit to being bisexual so I figured what are some good examples of gay characters. So with that in mind, here are my top 5 gay characters in the realm of entertainment. Since this is on Crappy Games, spoiler alert, the last two are game related. Okay then onto the countdown.

5. Big Gay Al and Mr. Garrison from South Park:  Big Gay Al is a very openly gay man but has a friendly nature and doesn't try to force people to accept him but rather try to earn respect. In the "Cripple Fight" episode when the boys are almost able to get the Scouts to accept gays via a lawsuit, Big Gay Al dropped the lawsuit and said he wants to convince them to accept gays rather than use a lawsuit to get his way.

As for Mr. Garrison, in the episode "The Death Camp of Tolerance," Mr. Garrison seeks to exploit his homosexuality to gain a million dollars from the school if he's fired for it. His attempts terrify and gross out the children which gets them sent to the titular death camp of tolerance, which by today's standards would exist since SJWs are now pretty much Nazis under the guise of tolerance. At an awards ceremony Mr. Garrison goes all out with his act and finally fed up with people calling him "brave," he chews everyone out telling them to be tolerant but not stupid. Randy Marsh in a very very very very very rare moment of intelligence. YES RANDY, the show's most retarded adult. Says that their kids didn't hate gay people, they hated how Mr. Garrison was acting. It was for selfish reasons, but Mr. Garrison did give out an important lesson.

4. Mr. Simmons from Hey Arnold!:  Don't mistake me from some right wing idiot, I think a gay character on a kid's show can be done right so look no further than Mr. Simmons from one of Nick's best shows, Hey Arnold!. He's the replacement teacher for Arnold's class after Miss Slovak left and does nothing to shove any agendas in his students. He wants what's best for them and even risked his own life to save them during a flood. Now I didn't even know Mr. Simmons was gay (I even thought he had a crush on Dr. Bliss from my favorite episode, Helga on the Couch) until I heard confirmation from the series creator, Craig Bartlet. Now unlike a certain author who made a character gay with absolutely nothing to back it up (JK Rowling with Dumbledore), the episode Arnold's Thanksgiving shows his boyfriend, Peter who gives a small hint they're together without it being shoved in everyone's faces. Even in the Jungle Movie when LGBT was becoming more commonplace (and annoying), all the two mustered was a hug again not shoving it in our faces.

3. Yukito and Touya from Cardcaptor Sakura:  As an anime fan, you all knew I had to add an example. While I pretty much only trust Japan to do this right since they care about actually making characters worth caring about, if I had to choose my favorite gay couple it's Touya Kinomoto and Yukito Tsukishiro from Cardcaptor Sakura, what can I tell you about them other than they're a couple. Easy. Touya is Sakura's older brother and although he often picks on her by calling her a monster, he also feels that as her big brother, he's the ONLY one allowed to pick on her and does love and protect her. He even hates Syaoran as he believes he is one day going to take Sakura away from him. He also has psychic abilities and often sees the ghost of his mother watching over him and Sakura.

As for Yukito, he's a very nice guy with a large appetite and is quite the athlete. He also views Sakura as a little sister though before Sakura and Syaoran became a thing, Sakura had a huge crush on him which he politely turned down. He's also the human disguise of the Moon Spirit Yue who can't eat himself which explains Yukito's appetite. When Yue was fading away due to Sakura's low level of magic, Touya gave up his own psychic abilities to save him in exchange for Yue protecting Sakura in his place. While I think Sakura/Syaoran is the better relationship due to character development, Touya and Yukito come very close.

2. Fable 2: One of my favorite games for the 360 (though I've only beaten once due to a lot of content) this game does it right for a good reason. It's up to the player. As you play the game, you see the stats of various NPCs and you even see their sexual preference straight, bisexual, or gay. This means, if you play a male character you can choose to be in a hetero relationship with a girl or gay with a guy, it's entirely up to you. However one game took this concept and made it better.

However before that, some honorable mentions:


 * Connie from Brickleberry: Gave me some laughs but that's it.


 * Nigel and Patrick Ratburn from Arthur: I'd probably have to watch 20 seasons to give a real opinion on this and I'm trying to get to 200 days on 7 Days to Die to get it put on my Games I Beat blog. Is it well developed or is it just "Last Minute Gay," couldn't tell you.  But what's this.  Patrick is a chocolate shop owner.  Chocolate, chocolate, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE!!!!

He should have married me, I'm the chocolate lover. DANETHEHEROOFWORLDS, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

DTHOW: Oh God! Runs away but Grust's dark magic sends tentacles out of his mouth that capture him.

DTHOW: Don't hurt me Grust, Please I'm begging you. Grust smiles evilly.

Grust: Oh I won't hurt you.

DTHOW breates a sigh of relief.

Grust: But one of my Dark Masters is itching to do some torture.

Grust opens a portal and throws DTHOW into it. Looking up DTHOW sees none other than the Joker.

Joker: Hey Grust, mind shutting that portal, can't be too careful with those weirdos around. Grust grins as the portal closes as DTHOW begs not to be left alone with the Joker. Soon his screams of pain and suffering echo in Grust's heart pleasing him.


 * Yaoi and Yuri anime: See what I wrote above with Touya and Yukito.


 * John from the Simpsons, episode, Homer's Phobbia: Since he's a one shot character, I'll give him an honorable mention but he never plays the victim card, doesn't let Homer's intolerance get to him and saves Homer's life which makes Homer become more tolerant.

Okay and the number 1 best example of gays in entertainment is....

1. Stardew Valley: This game takes the relationship options from Fable 2 and cranks that up to 11. While only certain NPCs in Fable 2 were either bi or gay, in Stardew, that restraint is gone. You can marry whoever you want regardless of anything. Want to be a female and marry the jock, cool. Want to be a guy and marry the doctor, cool. It's entirely up to you. And because it's player choice this will never ever be propaganda and that alone makes it my number 1 choice for a best example of gay characters in entertainment.

Any other good examples let me know in the comments. Oh as for Danetheheroofworlds.

Portal opens up and DTHOW is thrown out. He's huddling in a corner sucking his thumb and clearly crying

Joker: Sorry Grust I think I broke your newest toy.

Grust: Oh well it serves him right for keeping me from marrying a chocolate shop owner. Well time for a new toy. Oh TyrantRex.

TyrantRex: Oh God NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
