Pokemon X And Y Lack Of Same-Sex Breeding Angers Gay Gamer As Tumblr Rant Goes Viral! 'Gaymer' Nindento Complaint Real Or Satire?

Tags

Pokemon X and Y is a smash hit for Nintendo but it seems like one feature, or the lack of, is making gay gamers angry and one particular "gaymer" is voicing out his annoyance over the lack of same-sex breeding in Pokemon games.

"Erasure-H8er" is a blogger known for posting about "Gaymer Problems". "Gaymer Problems" are the instances where a certain game is supposedly discriminating towards gay gamers.

One of the most popular posts of "Erasure-H8er" is his "GAYmer Problem #2" post. According to "Erasure-H8er", "GAYmer Problem #2" is:

"I think this is sexual erasure at its finest. I can't tell if the complete heteronormative privilege of the entire Pokemon world is a satire, or if Japanese game designers are that blind as to the plight of GAYmers all around the world. What's worse is that we as a nation haven't stepped in to stop the injustice. Pokemon of all sexualities should be able to breed, Nintendo!!

(Stupid Cishet Pokemon)"

"Erasure-H8er's" post became so popular that people branded him a troll or simply a crazy person.

Reddit users commented that "Erasure-H8er" is probably just a troll and the article is a satire of gays fighting for their rights.

User "synthion" commented "it's satire" when users asked if the article was real. User "dwindling" said the same thing "This is probably satire, but there are actually people out there who identify as trolls from Homestuck."

"Erasure-H8er" then made another post talking about "GAYmer Problems #2" and all the hate mail he received because of it.

"Oh my G-d I made the Pokemon post like forever ago and people are still shaming me for it. Excuse me for being progressive for once in my life. Obviously Pokemon are fictional creatures so if Nintendo wanted to make same sex breeding a thing, they could. But they refuse to acknowledge the existence of anything other than their cishet ways. Ugh."

But What do you think? Is asking for same-sex breeding in Pokemon games too much or should it be included as a feature in future games? Sound off in the comments below!
