Well I'm playing Valkyria Chronicles DLC: Enter the Edy Detachment right now, and the game goes to lengths to make you sure just how gay the buff lancer is on your team. He has subtle hints of make-up, speaks with the expected actor gay-voice, a lisp, calls everyone sweetie (even the tanks he blows up), and has character abilities such as "Fancies Men" where he giddily proclaims "Look at all these muscles!!!"

While he's a strong dude who reliably gets a considerably macho job done, with a strong sense of fighting for what's right, he's unfortunately nowhere near the forward-moving character Arcade seems to be.

He's a stereotype within a stereotype, but honeslty, that's what the cast of Valkyria Chronicles characters was meant to be. You pick a large roster out of a large pool at the beginning of the game, and not all characters work well together, even disliking eachother, and when they're in eachother's vicinity, and both of their abilities going down. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an insecure, overcompensating homophobe available as well.
