I picked up MegaMan X: Command Missions for the GameCube today 'cause it was on sale. It's somewhat enjoyable, but the main problem is the gay imagery is going on already between X and Zero and I'm not even twenty minutes into the game! X: (pants heavily) Oh, Zero! You're all right! Zero: (flashes a smile) Of course I'm all right, X! (they kiss.) Okay, the kissing didn't really happen, but it's getting harder and harder to go around the whole shonen ai thing going on there. The real tragedy is that X and Zero have only been separated for about three minutes game time, and have been in constant radio contact the ENTIRE time. Someone's a little co-dependent, eh? It is starting to detract from the game itself, not because I read tons of X slash fics---just to be clear, I do not read them as a general rule, or at all, really---but because it's just so ludricrous that I can't concentrate and what's actually happening because I'm giggling the whole time. And to tell you what I REALLY think of that and you would have me banned from the forums. Oh. My. God. Aren't you the funny one? Yeah right. **salutes you, but only w/ the middle finger** You know what? I suddenly wonder if Damage isn't back again....

I'd just bet that Zero, X, and Axl have gay threesomes while the female Reploids sit around wondering why the boys never call them.
Meanwhile, Sigma tries to pass anti-gay legislation through Congress and is kicked out because he's not human. Thus begins another of his evil campaigns.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. The benevolent and wise are being cornered, ostracized, what a bummer The world keeps getting dumber Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

Here's another update on our two favorite Reploids' torrid romance:
After X and his new RPG "friends" rescue Zero from the clutches of an evil Maverick, they take the red-armored Reploid back to their HQ, where Zero, who is clearly feeling threatened by all of X's new companions (he himself has made none in the same time period) slaps X, screams like a jealous girl, and runs off, shouting to X not to be surprised when all of his new friends turn into Mavericks.
The funniest part is I'm not making any of that up.

Eh, don't take it personally, BRG. If you want to know how I really feel, I don't mind slash couples (some I find a bit over-the-top and stressed really too much but hum). If you happen to like the couple or whatever, great for you. Terrific for you! You're entitled to disagree with the public census and I'm glad you're making yourself heard. Me, I just don't care; I can go either way. Depends on my mood and how much am I willing to laugh at myself.
Call it rolling with the punches, much like, eh, vegan bashing.

The only people who SHOULD get offended by this thread are people who think that Zero and X make a realistic and very well-adjusted couple. And Patrick Warburton, though only because I mentioned his name just now. And I didn't even talk about vegans, even though I've heard that Glyde is one.

This is hilarious. Not to mention this has been going on since X6. However, in X8, I never noticed it there, in fact, X, Zero, and Axl have possible girlfriends... Notice they specifically paried them with a specific navigater. Pallete always says listen up axl, she nevers says that to x or zero. Alia has always had it for X and Layer is obviousely drooling over zero. aside form the obviouse play as the nav's. alia x type, pallete axl type, and layer z type dunno

You know, I've been playing through Command Missions too and . . . I just don't see it.
I think it's just you, man.
It's cool that they call the money 'zenny' though...

You may be right. The thing is, I've probably stumbled onto too many X/Zero slash fics, by which I mean two. Those things are so ludricrous that now I can't even think of the two of them without picturing them as a dysfunctional gay couple.
I've noticed the "Zenny" seems to be a Japanese thing---we see the same money in Breath of Fire games, in Mega Man games (and MegaMan Legends, too), and a few others. Also, in the Dragon Ball series, money was called "zeni."

HAHAHAHAHAH THAT WAS AWESOME ABOUT THE KISSING PART but that would be fun to find about the X and Zero gay thing.

I have to admit that X, as of late, has been really...um...nevermind. You've got the gist of it already. Funny thing is, I've kinda been thinking they were gay too since X6, probably because that's when the games started to get crappy and I got bored with the storyline. But I've never actually looked into it. Hm...

I dunno about what's been going on in the games since X6, but I understand X's... shall we say, emotional-ness? I mean, he was given free will and feelings and all that phun stuff by Right, he's the basis for the Reploids - and because of that the cause of the war. It must really suck to have to kill hundreds of robots, knowing what killing is. Like the ending of Power Battle on a much larger scale. And Capcom just tears the poor guy's heart out, killing Zero so much.
I think it's a bit distasteful to call them flaming homos though... o.o
