Not playing it because of a single character named Hope, and not playing another game because a character happens to be gay, are two different entirely different things.
Also, think of what you said this way. The "Gay character? -200% interest" etc, this has been said already but you need to understand why that's offensive for you to say. If you merely substitute "gay" for "black" or "female" [or both?], it wound sound pretty damn offensive. And yes, the fact that something so minor and irrelevant can tamper your interests to discredit and ENTIRE work doesn't credit your character very well.
You're of course, free to have your opinion, and you have every right to not play XIII Versus. We're not forcing you to play it, and we certainly as hell don't care if you do or not. However, you did take time to make a topic here complaining about it, so it's obviously something you REALLY don't like. If you're trying to convince me that you aren't homophobic in any way by equating "not wanting to play a game that happens to have a gay character in it" with guns, you're doing a piss-poor job. And the fact that you decided to make this "omg I'm never gonna play a Final Fantasy game with a GAY dude in it" whine-topic, on a forum that's notorious for having several gay gamers on it, is what confuses me when I consider that you seem a little surprised by our reactions.
