NWR Forums Discord / Tingle's crown has been STOLEN! (minor TP spoilers)
« on: January 04, 2007, 06:04:35 PM »
Gäygamer.net ran a top 20 list of homosexual videogame characters. Topping the list was Tingle and the argument for his ranking was definitely a sound one (WARNING: this link starts music playing).
However, and I'm stunned no one has mentioned this yet, Tingle has a challenger and that challenger has likewise stepped forth from the LoZ franchise.
You see, gäy videogame characters aren't anything out of the ordinary. In fact, games like Fable, Fallouts 1 and 2 and the Sims all allow for homosexual marriages without drawing much attention. It wasn't the fact that Tingle was perceived as gäy which earned him the top spot. It was the fact that he was insanely over the top in his fruitiness which beat out all competitors, male and female alike.
But as I said, a challenger approaches! Ladies and gentlemen, meet Falbi!
As if Falbi's attire and appearance weren't suggestive enough, his sassy walk and innuendo-laced dialogue should be.
First of all, the use of the word "fantastication" pretty much buries the needle when it comes to suggestion (though, his somewhat depressed looking partner down in the lake also uses the word). He's also notably disappointed that there's only one "big guy" here to partake in the festivities.
But if that's not enough, one of his following lines absolutely seals the deal.
I apologize if anyone finds this post mean spirited. I'm not intending to make fun of homosexuals in any way, but you can't deny that this innuendo is anything but subtle. In fact, I dare say it's bashing us right over the head.
Though Tingle may have been one fruity little bastard, I don't think he ever had any dialogue that was anywhere NEAR this suggestive, nor was his occupation selling "cucco" rides to strapping young men.
The torch, my friends, has been passed.
