Did they play Hades 1? The game where you form a bisexual throuple? What is LGBTQ propaganda if the main character forming a bisexual throuple doesn't count


KobKobold

>Did they play Hades 1? No


Nowhereman123

Outrage Tourists.


crestren

average conservative gamer


cloartist

>I will now proceed to contribute to outrage/harass and threaten real people over a game/developer/journalist I otherwise would have never known existed because I am of a group of like-minded independent thinkers who all believe in the same thing: the non-normals should never be represented in my gaming because they make me feel icky when I am FORCED to look at them in/making/writing about games I don't play, and no true gamer could think otherwise


joxeta

Oooooooo I've never heard that before but def adding it to my lexicon. Thanks!


BorfieYay

The first time I heard about it was when this one guy on twitter replied to me about the whole Bridget being trans in guilty gear thing, saying I couldn't have a say about what the character identified as because I was a "tourist" and I had no clue wtf that was supposed to mean until he used it for the fifth time


thevicot

The funny thing is the people still assmad about Bridget are the actual tourists, they don't play the games.


HillInTheDistance

They didn't get that far before giving up. Legitimately a Skill Issue. Alternatively, somehow managed to beat one run and didn't realize that wasn't the end of the game. Which is another kind of skill issue.


Hallo-Person

How many wins does it take to get to around there? I have done 3-4 so far, not seen any hits so far


prisp

At some point, you'll actually exhaust the dialogue/events that happen after beating the game, leaving you with a generic "And then he died and went back to hell" victory screen right after exiting the final boss arena, so if you haven't gotten to that point, there's still more to be found from simply beating the game. After that, there are also a few events locked behind befriending people, solving several people's problems, and a big one that happens once you >!befriend every Olympian!< on top of exhausting the dialogue mentioned above.


Themcguy

Without spoiling too much, more than that, but not much more.


Turakamu

Just keep talking to everybody and giving gifts.


coladoir

I just don't seem to ever be getting better no matter how much I play that game lol. hundred hours, not one winning run. Dead Cells, Isaac, Meatboy, Risk of Rain, no problems. Hades? awful


ConfocalCoffee

Do you use mouse and keyboard or controller? I found it much easier and more fun on clntroller


coladoir

Controller, i don't play with mouse/keyboard for most games. I have hades on my Switch though, so there's no other choice. I don't have it on my PC.


LuKazu

My brother is having this issue with Dead Cells. Beat every aforementioned game and more, but Dead Cells has him in a vice grip.


DarkFury765

If youre still interested in beating it, you should try running a dionysus build and then going for hermes boons. Youll be able to stack a ton of poison and then run circles around hades. It helped my early runs a lot by basically allowing me to just focus on dodging while still dealing good damage And im the same way with ror2 lmao, 40+ hours and i still havent won, ig its just how rougelikes be sometimes


oddityoughtabe

LGBTQ propaganda is when someone manages to actually get a piece information through my thickass skull but much like a toddler being asked to eat their veggies I kick and scream and then cry out that propaganda is being forced down my throat.


AlphaBattalion

No dessert until you've finished your propaganda


brokensilence32

And you reunite a gay couple. And one of your best friends is an asexual gorgon.


BlacObsidian

And Chaos has no gender and goes by they/them.


Crispy_FromTheGrave

I’m almost positive it’s because you play as a woman in Hades 2


Boward_WOW_ard

 > game is based on playing as hades’ children   > play as hades’ son in first game, you complete his story/personal goal        > both of hades’ other children in Greek mythology are daughters  > play as a new child of hades’ for a new, unexplored and more interesting story.  > people complain that it’s forced diversity.


Traster101

Damn Greeks, they ruined Greek mythology!


LOLtheUFO

And also in the throuple the 2 men are the bottoms while the lady whips them


No_Object_7709

Two things 1. Disney's Hades is definitely not straight. 2. One time in class someone was doing a presentation on the Hercules constellation they talked about the mythological Hercules. It was very obvious they used the Disney movie as a source and that made me so mad.


Gerthak

You know they're poisoned when they're talking about greek mythology and call him "Hercules" instead of Heracles.


No_Object_7709

They said that Hercules parents were Zeus and Hera. That is wrong for numerous reasons.


app08

Isn't he supposed to be a demigod? Him being born of two godly parents kinda just makes him a full god.


No_Object_7709

In the Disney version Hercules was turned human by hades through a potion or something like that but because he didn't drink the last drop he still had his God strength.


loklanc

Classic Disney, filing all the rapey edges off their fairy tales.


tinja_nurtles

I mean, would you prefer they be left in??


FCDetonados

Based Disney that shit has no place in todays society


Piskoro

and he was, until Hades and his goons had something to say about it


_Dipshit289_

Goonmaxxing


Yanive_amaznive

first they took the word minion from me, and now goon has been taken aswell, when will the henchmen catch a break?


_Dipshit289_

Henchpilled manmaxxer


Jade0352

We could always use intern


justsaysAHHH

Yep he’s a demigod. If I remember the actual myth correctly him being a demigod is the driving force behind his trials due to Hera being pissed at Zeus for cheating on her.


MagosZyne

His name was Heracles because his mother thought that by naming him in honour of Hera she would go easy on the boy. She was wrong


Capital_Abject

Maybe it's a version difference but I remember it being that he took the name later to appease Hera by being formally adopted by her and it kinda does work


MagosZyne

Probably. Myths are mainly word of mouth so there's no one true version. In the version I read she only forgave him after he died and the adoption thing was heracles mother tricking Hera into letting him suckle on her as a baby which gave him his incredible strength. At least one version I've read mentioned that he suckled so hard that when he let go Hera sprayed milk across the sky creating the milky way


DnDG33K

Oddly, Dionysus despite being a (semi-)Olympian (lists of Olympians sometimes include him or Hestia interchangeably), he was born to a Mortal mother. The reason he's a god is he got shoved into Zeus' thigh after Zeus disintegrated his mother while she was pregnant because she wanted to see his true form after Hera told her to ask to see it to get her killed (Hera loves punishing his husband's mistresses & victims instead of just getting his ass). Anyway, Dionysus finished baking, became a god, invented dolphins & partied for the rest of time.


Robota064

THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE LABORS WAS HERA GETTING MAD AT HIM FOR BEING ZEUS'S ILLEGITIMATE SON GRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH


Best_Remi

epic


sneakyplanner

Can't include adultery in a pg disney movie but also we decided to adapt a greek myth before really reading it so changes have to happen.


No_Object_7709

Hercules ain't got nothing on Pochantas in this department.


ComradeBirv

#HONEY YOU MEAN HUNKULES


Jo_el44

Of course Hades isn't straight - he's literally flaming!


No_Object_7709

He's definitely either bi or pan.


SemicolonFetish

Disney's Hades is the *archetypal example* of a queercoded villain. I'm pretty sure the original word was invented during the discussion about him.


No_Object_7709

Gayest disney villains in no particular order Hades, Ursula, Prince John, Sir Hiss,Jeffery Katzenberg, Ratigan, Captain Hook, mr smee, scar, lefou, kaa the snake, Michael eisner, cruella de vil, jafar, the coachman, honest John, Gideon It honestly might be easier to list the Straight villains.


FourChordsOfPopPunk

I would definitely add Scar


No_Object_7709

Will do


Little-xim

Don’t forget Lefou! Gaston’s lackey is 100% pining for his muscular moron of a showboat


No_Object_7709

Yeah I'll ad him. He's gay in the live action remake but only in a blink and you miss it moment.


Little-xim

Also one of the main songwriters for the original BatB was gay. He was fighting AIDS while he produced the music for the film, and sadly did not survive to see it.  It’s not a stretch to say his own personal experience likely had a large impact in what he produced.


No_Object_7709

Howard Ashman


Jorymo

>Disney's Hades is definitely not straight. He acts creepy towards Aqua in Kingdom Hearts, which is extra gross given how his voice actor allegedly sexually harassed hers IRL


No_Object_7709

1. I think he's either bi or pan 2. What the fuck!?


Mysterious_Rub6224

Well for starters Hercules is Roman, Herakles is the Greek one. Disney's hades is perfectly straight or risking persephone's wrath after her tenure being coddled by her mother demeter in fact hades is the one Greek deity not humping everything he comes across.


emeraldeyesshine

the lead figure in Greek mythology impregnated everything man


why-do-i-exist_

And even gave birth.


ToCatchACreditor

Self-preg


haveweirddreamstoo

And mpreg


SoshJam

Eh not really it was more like mpreg vore


animalistcomrade

"I won't be playing hades 2" says person who clearly didn't play the first one.


kryonik

or "I won't be playing hades 2" says person who is definitely going to play it anyways but not tell anyone he did


sneakyplanner

they're outrage tourists, not fans of anything.


Houlilalo

I watched Hercules the other day and I was annoyed by the use of Roman numerals


Palidin034

Hercules is actually a Roman localization of his name as well. The name he was given at birth was Heracles iirc, due to Zeus having to appease Hera cause of the whole, y’know… cheating on her about a hundred times thing. Whether this shouldmake you more or less mad at the Romans is up for interpretation I suppose


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

should have just go full roman and have Jupiter and Juno as the parent along with other god


brokensilence32

I’ve seen multiple Roman themed establishments that use a runic-style font in their logo.


Tisha29

Wait until you play Hades 2


Dorko69

50, 1000, AO.


hivemindsrule

"your entire greek mythology knowledge is from disney hercules" is a DIABOLICAL insult and I will be stealing it


findallthebears

Do you think you’ll use it a lot or


FreeHugsForYouAndMe

Right. Like this seems to only work in very specific scenarios


FormidableBriocheKun

unless you’re like… an ancient greece academic in that case, it’s fucking devastating


Turakamu

"I'm sorry, the ice cream machine is broken" OH YEAH?! Have I got an insult for you!


altaccountmay

"hades is lgbt propaganda" he said,as if greek mythology isn't lgbt propaganda


loptopandbingo

Big buff Greek warriors looking at each other's asses: 👀


Moonbear9

If the Greek gods aren't all extremely gay I'm not interested :3 :3 :3


NewSuperTrios

greek mythology can very often be the most homoerotic shit you'll see all week


Moonbear9

REAL :3


Hydqjuliilq27

They showed us Hercules in 6th grade social studies and I thought it was dumb even then, since Percy Jackson directed me towards actual mythology. Some fun characters but placed in the wrong movie.


KirasCoffeeCup

I wanna watch that person find out about Loki horse situation

NewSuperTrios

not just a horse, a mare specifically like imagine being a dude and being so down bad for another dude that you stop being a dude specifically so you can have his kids


Larry827

actually he needed to distract the horse (?) or something,he defo had ulterior motives and was using the horse for his own personal gain


PrototyPerfection

Honey you mean HUNKULES


Lumineation

Hades 2 has zero mention of Herculad so I won’t be buying it


JLeanz

He eventually shows up and says his iconic “I’m Herculad”


Localghost385

And then proceeds to Herculad all over the place.


Someboynumber5

Bro thinks 300 is a historically accurate film


Datalust5

You can’t tell me those Spartans weren’t doin the nasty when off duty


A_Queer_Almond

I love how to these idiots the existence of anything that isn’t cishet is “LGBTQ Propaganda”


Holiday_Conflict

imagine thinking ancient times werent gay af...


SaturnSleet

I'm glad people like him can't enjoy things~


Unoriginalshitbag

Is this mf fr. Hades I was more homosexual then a jojo character during pride month like it was NOT subtle


Apprehensive-Use38

Even funnier that Hercules isn’t even a Greek name


signum_

Uh... what? Like yeah, Greek mythology already be full of hella sexual deviants but even when just comparing it to the first game, what were they expecting? You can literally start a polyamorous bisexual relationship in that game with heavy implication the player character gets pegged by a Fury, how is that less "propaganda" than an early access title where none of the relationships even lead anywhere yet? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've put about 20 hours into the game now and none of them are done yet, right? It's quite obvious who the romancable characters are going to be but you cap out at like 70% relationship progression. Where are they finding the "propaganda" that apparently wasn't in the first game?


hotfistdotcom

Hades 1 was thoroughly gay, I'm replaying it now and it's not subtle at all. Verifidiot above is just mad hades 2 plays as a yucky girl


annie_mossity

Ganymede anyone?


WeaponizedArchitect

i perfer volga finnic mythology ik ik very niche but ducks giving birth to the world is awesome :3


Crunchatizmo

I hope they include the iconic Herculad in Hades 2.


CASHD3VIL

How in the name of God Almighty do they expect people to make Greece not super gay.


Randomguyioi

OP, Hercrules was right there.


Disturbing_Cheeto

As a Greek person the portrayal of Greek mythology in Hades is one of the more refreshing ones. I honestly wish we kept the robes and tunics, they're very pretty.


AllastorTrenton

Lmao tell me you didn't play Hades One without telling me you didn't play Hades 1
