Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion. For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. | ||

Just curious, I'm not hating or anything. I've got a decent number of gay friends and I support gay marriage in case you were wondering. I don't believe in outing people without their permission, especially in a public forum, but my experience with gaydar (mine very rarely fails me) is that the types of videos he puts out won't give conclusive evidence. Put him in a social situation where he is comfortable and not preoccupied and you will find out in short order. | ||

I agree that is is really, really hard to tell from the type of media he puts out, but I do sense something, which may just be a certain openness about himself that we are more accustomed to seeing in gay men. I would need to meet him or study video of him in a wider variety of situations, especially focusing on the eyes and facial expressions. | ||

I really doubt that he is gay, and I would be shocked if he were. As a gay man, I can also confidently say that my gaydar is pretty well tuned. Also, I think that trying to figure out whether a prominent figure is gay is pretty silly. I mean, when it comes down to it, does it really matter? I think that's what gay culture as a whole (aside from those who embody flamboyant stereotypes) would like to actually achieve. I know no one here would give a damn if Artosis is straight. So why do you give a damn if he's gay? Yes, I know that would make him different from you, but you're different from me, and I certainly couldn't care less. | ||

Agreed :D It seems like in Western nations and East Asian Nations, it seems like being manly is not a priority when comparing how manly people can get in a place say Africa. But that still does not mean I have fantasies...especially about Shark >.< | ||

BTW, it wasn't that he exudes effeminate energy that made me wonder. Just a collection of small observations over time based my on my own personal interaction with gays. nothing more. No, it doesnt matter if hes gay or not. It wouldnt have the slightest effect on my opinion of him. Why would a simple question of someones sexuality produce such defensive answers? | ||

Neil Patrick Harris's sexuality has a major effect on my opinion of him. If he was straight, straight guys would be virgins for life. | ||

Someone needs to keep track of all the creepy comments about players and stuff that Artosis has made while casting the GSL. But no, he probably isn't gay. Tasteless, on the other hand... http://www.gayfortasteless.com/ WTF the site is gone!!!

He's also probably not gay, but here's some gay fodder ![[image loading]](http://s.sk-gaming.com/image/album/361683/76c913efc6a40ef0_large.jpg)  | ||

Not trying to be defensive sorry. Sometimes it's just tiring to see being gay or figuring out who's gay so dramatized. | ||
