The Doms and Subs of Gaming
No matter what your letter of the GLBTIS spectrum is, it all comes down to one thing: Are you a Sub or a Dom? There are telling signs to either proclivity written on everybody's face, from subtle speech patterns to more overt fashion choices. So what do these signs tell us about some of the biggest names in video games? The devilish denizens of Destructoid have put together a short list of characters that pegs them as the dominant daddies or slaving subs that they are.
While some entries on the list are more obvious than others (who honestly thought that Solid Snake was anything but a sub?), there are a few genuine surprises. One would think that the abstract nature of Tetris' tetrominoes would make deciphering their inclinations a difficult task, but the reasoning behind their final conclusion is solid enough. Perhaps the biggest surprise on the list has to be the exact scene that Kirby is down with.
There are plenty of characters that don't show up on the list that make their preferences known. Take God of War's Kratos for example; half-naked, wrapped in chains, and plaything for the gods. Total muscle sub. What about Katamari Damacy's King of All Cosmos? He enjoys playing with other people's emotions just a little too much. And let's not forget about the latest Prince of Persia. It's quite apparent that Elika keeps her Prince on a very tight leash. Any other examples that are missing from the list?

Other stuff like this: destructoid, dom, naughty, really freaking weird, sub
Snake's ass needs no explanation.
Though that was a very angsty description for Tetris. And the analysis for Sonic was so sadly true.
I think they got it way wrong on Sephiroth. That's just hetero-normative nonsense. The Hindu god Shiva is similarly androgynous and the "Destroyer of Worlds" but is a total bottom.
