Yeah, I was shocked by that codec call, and the whole joke that he's called "Vamp" because he.... sucks. I couldn't believe they got away with that in a game.

Raiden asks if he ever met Vamp, and Snake stammers about it. Then he says not to believe anything Vamp might tell him about it because he's a "mad man". lol
A third of these sounds like shitpost another third sounds like a erotica novel and the last third is legitimate kojima sanctioned homosexuality and I love all of it. I'm gonna finish mgs5
As Steak stated in his "MGS 4 was mistake" video masterpiece: "10 years ago people were joking about it (Otacon and Snake being married couple). Not anymore. Now it's just what happened"
It really warms my heart that Otacon stayed with Snake until he passed away peacefully. Going on walks and enjoying their time together on their missions.

I think kojima took the high road in every game he made, women are expected to be sexualized in games especially games from japan in the 2000s and he turned around and sexualized men just as much while making sure women weren't seen as weak and flippant. I respect that

And you could possibly argue that the extreme nature of her outfit and actions on the chopper screen were more publisher interference then full kojima, a lot of his formula is missing in 5 and comes right back in Death Stranding including making sure men and women are equally sexualized while neither are objectified for the player

I was once trying to look up images of The Sorrow to show which character he is to a friend of mine. One of the first images that showed up was a drawing of him holding up a sign saying, "Ocelot is the real 'snake eater'." 😂 Roasted by your dead dad. Thanks, I'll take it. 😂
5:42 Strangelove: "They called being gay strange because they didn't understand it, so they called me strangelove" 17:05 Otacon: "Snake, you're strange"
I had the same reaction the first time I saw it. It's one of my first ships I had before I knew what afan fic was. It was after I played twin snakes all those years ago.
I got whiplash seeing myself in the credits LMAO i'm so happy to have a whole new hour and thirteen minutes of gay gay homosexual gays to watch and rewatch 400 times
War is pretty gay: men admiring their superiors, loving their brothers on the battlefield, confiding in each other, hating their enemies with fervor, becoming intimately familiar with death. Well, it’s not homosexual, but war is very passionate
7:52 i don't know the context, but despite feeling that this was probably put in for straight men I can't get over how akin it is to a wattpad fanfiction
Definitely didn't just put it in for straight men. One of the selling points for Metal Gear Solid 2 was the return of the "test vibration" function, if you catch my drift.
an hour ago, I know nothing about metal gear solid. now im gonna have to consume literally every piece of its media to satiate my curiosity. what a ride
Ocelot's last words to Snake legit made me cry. Like, at this point Snake's probably got no idea this old guy he just killed was pretending to be his brother but *really* totally loves his dad and has been working with his mom all this time to get him back. Then Snake goes back to his own loving husband to raise their kid. What a family! xD
Big Boss in MGS3 and MGSPW (at least initially) was so incredibly clueless? Like, he had no idea Santa Claus wasn't real or what homosexuality was, I find that so funny considering he goes through one of the darkest paths in the series. Do you think he still believed in Santa Claus by MGS4?
>he had no idea Santa Claus wasn't real No. He had no idea there were people in this world who *actually* believe that he doesn't exist. Sure, there's "no evidence of him existing," but there's also no evidence of him not existing.
@@benenwren4110 if that were the case I'd at least be correct in that argument. I hope you'd agree, we wouldn't want people thinking otherwise would we?
i don’t even like love triangles usually but the whole kaz-big boss-ocelot thing is so peak. just two awful dudes thirsting 24/7 over some guy who’s about 50x worse than either of them
Kojima did basically imply that Yaoi and Yuri is peak fiction through some of his twitter posts and AMAs. To be completely fair though, Kojima could easily make a hobo doing a bunch of really bad and cheap drugs while doing tricks at a circus peak fiction if he really wanted to.
My favorite game series. Messages of love and queer acceptance , warning about fake news, warning about nuclear, incredibile soundtrack, stealth, an innovative and quirky way to play. Metal gear solid is one the best series that ever existed
I mean, I don't wanna be contrarian here, but of the 3 confirmed queer males in the series, one is presented as weak and effeminate and also happens to be an object of abuse for the player, while the other two are portrayed as fiendish, violent and sexually devious, with one of them going through a redemption arc later on that involves them entering a relationship with a woman.
@@karpi470 Vamp went to a redemption arc with a woman? I remember him being always bisexual and dying after calling Raiden "pretty boy". If you mean Naomi, they weren't lovers. Naomi only canon relationship is with Otacon. And he being bisexual doesn't have any connection with his evil deeds. He just likes both men and women. Also You are forgetting about Kaz, far from weak and evil (he's angry after losing his entire army and being tortured/ blinded). He is an option for the love box (so he is canonically interested in Snake, is not canon if they ever did it) Another canon not devious bisexual man in the metal gear franchise is Vamp's lover Marine Commandant Scott Dolph, a proud soldier who wanted to protect his country. Ultimately for females there is Strangelove, also bisexual, which is a positive character in the end. Volgin is the only devious one, and Raikov is just a giant middle finger to all Raiden haters
Does it ever blow other people's minds that, by Strangelove's logic, Otacon and Ocelot are technically brothers? I think it's so sad that Strangelove never got to meet Ocelot because of that, I had imagined before V came out that there was gonna at least be moment between the two, where they come to understand the bond that they share because of the Boss, and maybe Strangelove starts to see Ocelot as, if not her child, then at least as family. Kind of mirroring Big Boss and Snake at the end of 4.
I just got shocked by the thought that Ocelot probably only "met" Strangelove through the AI tape. Imagine learning there was somebody who loved your mother so much she considered the child from another man(just like him) hers and your mother's. He got two dead moms. Starting to compete with Solids three dead fathers
@chandllerburse737 No canon proof but Ocelot is presented as such an informed and well connected individual he must have found out sometime. Also he worked for zero who must have known something
I'd like to think Strangelove would insta-adopt Ocelot to the point of embarrassment. She gives him the fanciest mission rations so he grows up all big and strong (and that's why he hates French food xD)
love how it went from being funny to emocional asf to show how beautiful Otacon's and Snake's relationship is (then back to the gayest lines i have ever heard on a game)
I just realized how homophobes get around this, because it’s the same for Sam and Max: they claim it’s just a joke, saying it’s forced or a strong bond moment ruined by suggesting it’s gay, and quite literally state, “It wasn’t the author’s idea. Stop looking too deep into it.” I’m not the smartest person in my class but I know patterns when I see one. Anyone who suggest these are facts does not know what nuance is at all.
I mean … homophobes don’t have the media literary skills to discern silliness to satire. Just cause they can both be funny doesn’t mean the former’s making a joke of who’s depicted.
I guess we’ll never have perfect representation that every raging ‘phobe can warm up with. They hate serious depictions because it takes a side while they can tolerate silly because it can be disregarded. They’re always gonna hate us. So I think, “if they can’t join us, beat them;” have our communities so strong in affirmation that they’re subsumed. Anyway, we only worry about them not understanding because we believe their thoughts have more power than ours. Why must we accept that ? 🤷♂️ We don’t & we won’t.
@@BIGBOYGAMING03 I mean that's like claiming there isn't a homosexual and or transgender coding in the Little Mermaid in all of its existence ever since the Anderson's book. Same with The Matrix. Same with the two Sing movies. You can say whatever you want or however you want but you are factually wrong.
Man, I love how Kojima's games are full of this stuff. For all their seriousness and drama, they never stop being playful with the fanservice and homo-love and silly hijinks. The true depiction of homo-ludens.
I cannot get over to this day that Volgin is able to identify his own lover by feeling up his groin. That shit is only something Kojima can get away with.
It's so funny seeing a few people in the comments denying the sheer amount of gay here, like, I would never click on a video that I'm entirely against. It's almost like they were curious...
Bro even if I weren't straight I would be scared for my dick in the presence of Raiden, he's made of metal, moves faster than the speed of sound and wrestles with giant robots like it's WWE, you think he wouldn't completely shatter your erectile tissue?

@UnemployedStormtrooper Yeah he straight up just smooches your cheek mid boss fight, and mfs still try to say how it's actually just a Russian taunt or whatever. Like bruh just accepts that everyone is so damn gay already😭😭
@@phoenix-zf7cz oh right of course my bad. It's totally straight and manly to cop a feel on eachothers junk and kiss your homies. Sorry for saying the homo erotic games are homo erotic and not manly shooting game about war and cool guns and manly men being manly
so, ive never played or watched any metal gear game so my first instinct was like is it gay gay or just you know *waves* gay? then the first clip started and i felt like i was being sucker punched
Even before 5 i felt there was a lot of sus with Huey. First the fact that he tried to drown Emma, then the fact that he plagiarized Granin's work (and Granin trusted him with his life's work, he probably didnt expect for Huey to go "well if you think about it its not REALLY plagiarism if its your dead friend from beyond the iron curtain, i mean, nobodys even gonna know". Always avoiding responsibility. His constant self deprecation means nothing if he never actually tries to change. Iirc thats why Strangelove hated him, all this "i was born in a cardboard box all alone and my legs dont work". Comparing it to Hal, who has moments of doubt and self hate, but then goes "okay, i learned from my mistakes. Im going to use this experience to become a better person now". It all comes down to Huey succumbing to the idea of genes chaining him to his fate, while Hal rose above this mindset. Virgin "i was always meant to fail" Huey, chad "im going to end the family curse" Hal.
There's two types of MGS fans; - dudebros who are into guns, military jargon and hot chicks in skimpy outfits. - cool people who actually understand what the series is about. All of them have a crush on Big Boss, no exception.

great reference
War is pretty gay: men admiring their superiors, loving their brothers on the battlefield, confiding in each other, hating their enemies with fervor, becoming intimately familiar with death. Well, it’s not homosexual, but war is very passionate
I always felt like it was more of a brotherly thing but goddamn if every military unit doesn't have at least a little homoeroticism in it
Makes me wish for a happy ending for the characters in the series, despite most of them being.. dead.

There is no heterosexual explanation for the MGS franchise
Big Boss in MGS3 and MGSPW (at least initially) was so incredibly clueless? Like, he had no idea Santa Claus wasn't real or what homosexuality was, I find that so funny considering he goes through one of the darkest paths in the series. Do you think he still believed in Santa Claus by MGS4?
>he had no idea Santa Claus wasn't real
No. He had no idea there were people in this world who *actually* believe that he doesn't exist. Sure, there's "no evidence of him existing," but there's also no evidence of him not existing.

Hey just because they're bros don't mean they're gay
i don’t even like love triangles usually but the whole kaz-big boss-ocelot thing is so peak. just two awful dudes thirsting 24/7 over some guy who’s about 50x worse than either of them
Kojima did basically imply that Yaoi and Yuri is peak fiction through some of his twitter posts and AMAs. To be completely fair though, Kojima could easily make a hobo doing a bunch of really bad and cheap drugs while doing tricks at a circus peak fiction if he really wanted to.
My favorite game series.
Messages of love and queer acceptance , warning about fake news, warning about nuclear, incredibile soundtrack, stealth, an innovative and quirky way to play.
Metal gear solid is one the best series that ever existed
I mean, I don't wanna be contrarian here, but of the 3 confirmed queer males in the series, one is presented as weak and effeminate and also happens to be an object of abuse for the player, while the other two are portrayed as fiendish, violent and sexually devious, with one of them going through a redemption arc later on that involves them entering a relationship with a woman.
@@karpi470are you saying gay people can only be strong and virtuous?
@@karpi470 Vamp went to a redemption arc with a woman? I remember him being always bisexual and dying after calling Raiden "pretty boy".
If you mean Naomi, they weren't lovers. Naomi only canon relationship is with Otacon.
And he being bisexual doesn't have any connection with his evil deeds. He just likes both men and women.
Also You are forgetting about Kaz, far from weak and evil (he's angry after losing his entire army and being tortured/ blinded).
He is an option for the love box (so he is canonically interested in Snake, is not canon if they ever did it)
Another canon not devious bisexual man in the metal gear franchise is Vamp's lover Marine Commandant Scott Dolph, a proud soldier who wanted to protect his country.
Ultimately for females there is Strangelove, also bisexual, which is a positive character in the end.
Volgin is the only devious one, and Raikov is just a giant middle finger to all Raiden haters
🔥
You know this is just a meme. Don't over think it
Can't wait for the folks who will inevitably say "they made metal gear gay" when the MGS3 remake comes out soon
So called “based” individuals when Colonel Volgin grabs Snakes dick and commences a 40 minute gay bdsm scene 😡😡😡😤😤😤
Does it ever blow other people's minds that, by Strangelove's logic, Otacon and Ocelot are technically brothers? I think it's so sad that Strangelove never got to meet Ocelot because of that, I had imagined before V came out that there was gonna at least be moment between the two, where they come to understand the bond that they share because of the Boss, and maybe Strangelove starts to see Ocelot as, if not her child, then at least as family. Kind of mirroring Big Boss and Snake at the end of 4.
I just got shocked by the thought that Ocelot probably only "met" Strangelove through the AI tape. Imagine learning there was somebody who loved your mother so much she considered the child from another man(just like him) hers and your mother's. He got two dead moms. Starting to compete with Solids three dead fathers
Wonder how ocelot would feel abt having an out of nowhere half-/stepbrother whos like 30 or more idk years younger than him
@chandllerburse737 No canon proof but Ocelot is presented as such an informed and well connected individual he must have found out sometime. Also he worked for zero who must have known something
I'd like to think Strangelove would insta-adopt Ocelot to the point of embarrassment. She gives him the fanciest mission rations so he grows up all big and strong (and that's why he hates French food xD)
otacon is such a sweetheart, some of these quotes got me crying 😭😭
love how it went from being funny to emocional asf to show how beautiful Otacon's and Snake's relationship is (then back to the gayest lines i have ever heard on a game)
I just realized how homophobes get around this, because it’s the same for Sam and Max: they claim it’s just a joke, saying it’s forced or a strong bond moment ruined by suggesting it’s gay, and quite literally state, “It wasn’t the author’s idea. Stop looking too deep into it.” I’m not the smartest person in my class but I know patterns when I see one. Anyone who suggest these are facts does not know what nuance is at all.
I mean … homophobes don’t have the media literary skills to discern silliness to satire. Just cause they can both be funny doesn’t mean the former’s making a joke of who’s depicted.
I guess we’ll never have perfect representation that every raging ‘phobe can warm up with. They hate serious depictions because it takes a side while they can tolerate silly because it can be disregarded. They’re always gonna hate us. So I think, “if they can’t join us, beat them;” have our communities so strong in affirmation that they’re subsumed. Anyway, we only worry about them not understanding because we believe their thoughts have more power than ours. Why must we accept that ? 🤷♂️ We don’t & we won’t.
I mean Sam and Max aren't gay, people just have wishful thinking
@@BIGBOYGAMING03 I mean that's like claiming there isn't a homosexual and or transgender coding in the Little Mermaid in all of its existence ever since the Anderson's book. Same with The Matrix.

this is peak homoerotic masterpiece, absolutely wonderful. Very open even in the early games, Just wild to me.

so, ive never played or watched any metal gear game so my first instinct was like is it gay gay or just you know *waves* gay? then the first clip started and i felt like i was being sucker punched
SAME
Dear internet stranger who made this video, I just want to let you know that you have my upmost gratitude and admiration. You’re pretty good!
Of course Strangelove is gay. I mean, have you seen what Huey Emmerich is like? That man would make any woman bat for the home team.
Well, she fucked him and his son. So there's that.
Even before 5 i felt there was a lot of sus with Huey. First the fact that he tried to drown Emma, then the fact that he plagiarized Granin's work (and Granin trusted him with his life's work, he probably didnt expect for Huey to go "well if you think about it its not REALLY plagiarism if its your dead friend from beyond the iron curtain, i mean, nobodys even gonna know". Always avoiding responsibility. His constant self deprecation means nothing if he never actually tries to change. Iirc thats why Strangelove hated him, all this "i was born in a cardboard box all alone and my legs dont work".
Comparing it to Hal, who has moments of doubt and self hate, but then goes "okay, i learned from my mistakes. Im going to use this experience to become a better person now".
It all comes down to Huey succumbing to the idea of genes chaining him to his fate, while Hal rose above this mindset. Virgin "i was always meant to fail" Huey, chad "im going to end the family curse" Hal.
and yet half the mgs fans i know are homophobic 😭😭😭 or closeted gays, idk
Impossible
MGS was made for gay people!
There can't be homophobes in the mgs fandom that's literally against the logic of everything
