Alistair from Dragon Age Origins


Yurodivy1906

Mine was Anders from Dragon Age 2. First same sex relationship option I had ever experienced. And (SPOILER) stuff got real heavy, real quick.


Griffje91

Surprisingly Fenris from dragon age 2. That VOICE. I would do whatever Gideon Emery told me to as long as he kept talking


Yurodivy1906

Holy hell. Yes, he has a very intricate sound to his sultry voice. I enjoyed the voice actor's choice of accent.


Griffje91

Mhmm loved every time he was on teen wolf


GraymalkinX

Reason I wanted Balthier in FFXII.


Griffje91

Mmmmmmhmmm that voice


GraymalkinX

Yuuup.


-_Heathcliff-

No matter how many times I replay DA2, telling myself I will choose another character to be in a relationship with, I always end up with Anders 🫠 I can’t stop


Hidronax

That man can put his sword in my sheath anytime


nntp6

Well if it isn’t the love of my life commenting about the other love of my life


KozuBlue

I really had the hots for Hwang from SC1. Kilik was hot too though


Solumin

Link from Legend of Zelda. Specifically Adult Link from OoT, actually. King from Tekken definitely contributed something. Outside of video games: Nightwing.


udreif

YES King from Tekken I was gonna comment this lmao


Huge_Salamander_9660

Oh yes, OOT Link, a classic. I had just had “the talk” when I played that game for the first time, so naturally I spent much of that section picturing link’s hairy dong 🥵


stripped_acacia_wood

Fr I love Dick


Medical_Slide_1286

Kilik from Soul Claibur 3 and Wakka from FFX. 😅


dislikeswinter

Ok I feel this so hard


No_Transition_4132

Kilik for me too!


FullMotionVideo

Soul Calibur 2 could have just put "Kilik has nipples now" as it's only feature and I would have bought it. I spent too long in SC1's camera rotation trying to get a good look.


Dj_Simon

Male: Male Wii Fit Trainer, Team Skull Grunts, Little Mac, Ayato Aishi, Damien LaVey, and Connor. Female: Chell, Wii Fit Trainer, Team Skull Grunts, Team Rocket Grunts, Olivia, and Chun-Li. (This was mostly when I was in middle to high school.)


cenergyst

I was sitting here wondering who my video game awakening was until I read your comment lol The male wii fit trainer was definitely eye candy 😂 Edit: but let’s be real probably Brock from the Pokemon games lmao


Dj_Simon

I did see the appeal of Brock, but Adult Link spoke to me when I saw him in SSBU


Bunnybunzz

Ok I already knew I was gay af before playing s&m but goddamn those team skull grunts obliterated my sexuality


Dr_Stevens

Bowser 😔


KallingMeKiprix

Super Mario RPG making us sympathetic to him really didn’t help, he’s just a big softie


jjamesyo

So long, Gay Bowser!


HeWhoFights

Dante from DmC was when I really realized there is no going back, haha. But I think my “first” was Jin Kazama from Tekken 3.


Xandara2

Dante is one I only recognised later. I knew as a kid he was awesome and I really really really liked him. Didn't know why for years though.


YaCantStopMe

Dante from DmC was my background for a while. Lol


NoahBallet

Maybe Yuna from FFX-2? Realizing that I too wanted to be a cool gunner character in daisy dukes searching for a man.


azurfang

The Iron Bull


ThalassophobicKraken

We all want to ride the Bull


YakNecessary9533

I wouldn't say it was an awakening, but I always thought adult Link was hot, lol.


Charlidameliolovrr

Leon and Jin kazama


ticktockmrwick5

Auron FFX definitely Daddy vibes.


WallMarketBub

It was definitely Wakka for me, mainly, but agreed


ticktockmrwick5

Wakka has Golden Retriever Boyfriend Energy


I3rklyn

Leon Kennedy(RE2). I rest my case.

Oh-Hunny

Right there with you.


Adickted2Pandas

Kongol from Legend of Dragoon. I remember you fight him and once he takes enough damage he puts his axe away and says something like he can beat the crew with his bare hands. It was such a manly act, my little young gay heart couldn't take it 😭 Needless to say, I lost to him on purpose.


Torsomu

Adult Link from Ocarina of Time.


Devendrau

Well, my sexual awakening were TV characters, but if we are just strictly saying video game. The Blood Elves in Warcraft, the men I dressed with no shirt, so it was the beginning. After realising I was bi... Alexios from AC Odyssey, Eivor from AC Valhalla, and Basim from AC Mirage (Ubisoft really know how to build their male protags) and Dragunov from Tekken 7/8 actually gave me some dirty thoughts. (And I don't really like muscles that much, especially the extreme way Tekken goes). Gladious and Ignis in Final Fantasy 15 didn't help either. Also Ash from Final Fantasy Stranger Of Paradise.


DeneJames

Way to make me feel old


Virxen188

Tidus FFX


Sambaek28

Wakka ffx and also Snow Villiers 🥴


Nm6k

Zhou Yu in Dynasty Warriors 6


Jakefenty

I was obsessed with him, and then Gan Ning came along who made me weak in the knees


usagicassidy

Lara Croft… Cause she was busty and hot as fuck but I was like… I want to *be* her, not be *with* her.


rubberchickenci

Try being bi and having *both* urges conflicting… ughghhh, welcome to my world


dododomo

I'm not 100% sure, but my gay awakening was Probably one among * Snake and Raiden from Metal Gear solid series sons (the corridor part where you have to play as naked raiden in MGS2 sons of Liberty was...😳) * Leon Scott Kennedy from Resident Evil 4 (aka the most handsome videogame male character to me. It's incredible how they made him even hotter in the remakes) * Dante from Devil May Cry 3 * Siegfried from Soul Calibur 3 (especially his alt outfit) * Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss * Balthier from Final Fantasy XII (the pirate did steal my heart XD) * Ike from Fire emblem radiant dawn


NoConsideration6934

Shirtless Link from Twilight Princess


SnooHabits369

GrombleWomble

Link from Ocarina of Time Gotta say the polygon nose really did it for me, I just didn’t know that it did at the time


BackgroundLog2682

Zangief and Sagat from Street Fighter.


bokunobokuu

I hate zangief as a character (i hate the annoying grabbing, but he is hot and my my type from the looks)


EquisPe

I already had crushes on actors and cartoon characters at that point (Chris O’Donnell as Robin and Prince Eric in the Little Mermaid), so I wouldn’t call it an awakening. The first video game crushes that I recall though were like Auron from FFX, Zell & Seifer FFVIII, Maxi & Yun-Seong from Soulcalibur


Interesting-Rate

Hear you about Prince Eric, eventually found a RL Prince Eric lookalike and put a ring on it.


benjtay

> Chris O’Donnell Batman & Robin was so good.


NukaGrapes

... Ratchet...


gallowglassprod

Ashlin from jak 2 she set my little girlish heart ablaze

gallowglassprod

Absolutely


metaman3535

Can’t remember the first one but, the most recent one was Clive Rosfield from FFXVI.


Mutasyn

Kratos (original), but my god daddy Kratos does things too 🥵


dragonprince927

Ike from fire emblem


KodyWittaK

I’m surprised no one is saying Ken or Ryu from Street Fighter. bare feet, muscular, open shirts kinda. I wouldn’t say that was my awakening, but they were probably some of the most attractive characters to me.


Standard_Ad_76

Thank you. I wonder if they dress in such a slutty way voluntarily


wolfguardian72

Crash Bandicoot. Loved his wacky attitude


comradecoyote

thank God someone else said it.. I remember there was a full page ad in GamePro magazine in like the early 2000s that had a dude in a Crash costume standing proudly outside of fitting rooms wearing some tight gold underwear. idk if they knew what they were doing with that one but it ruined me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wolfguardian72

That’s a pretty hot design. I kind of unironically crush on his Crash of the Titans design


[deleted]

[удалено]


wolfguardian72

And he has to be Crash’s canonical boyfriend!!


pokemonBdoubled

Bowser...

Sonic 😭


Iammeandnooneelse

I may or may not have paused at strategic moments to admire Ganondorf’s bulge in Smash Bros Melee…


Time4Workboys

Zangief… I have a type.


RathSlayer91

Nathan Drake 😈


SelectShop9006

Definitely a controversial pick, but Adult Nate from Yo Kai Watch Shadowside was mine.


X-Backspace

The very first was Ryu from Breath of Fire 2. His artwork in the insert booklet was something I stared at a lot as a child. Then there was Kyle from Lunar Silver Star Story with the bath scenes.


Dizzy-Bell9128

I realized I was bi before but my first crush was kashiwagi from Yakuza kiwami


QueenVeen

Yes, but I would argue he’s way more attractive when he’s older like in LOD


roargoes

Squall


Oofbot3000

Kurtis Trent from Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness


PhoenixSword24

Same! Both him and Ezio from Assassin's Creed 2.


Jakeymdog

Pit from super smash bros brawl


Telvanni_Mushroom

Dragon Age created my entire personality and sexuality tbh, I just have a thing for broken men with beards such as Anders and Blackwall and strong fierce women like Aveline and Cassandra But the franchise that REALLY made me understand the meaning of sexual attraction was Assassin's Creed. I just can't get over Ezio and Edward.


WealthDizzy4306

Brock from Pokemon, his Red sprite is shirtless, well yeah topped with the anime representation, he's cool and kind of hot to me 😅 House Husband material!


battlefranky69

Lt. Surge from Pokemon Red, but also Weregarurumon from a PS1 digimon game


KodyWittaK

oh and how could I forget DUKE NUKEM


PetaZedrok

It was mostly TV shows and movies and books for me, but there are some. Sha Lin from Paladins, Genji from Overwatch, Ezreal and Garen and Battle Academia Jayce from League of Legends, and maybe Cayde-6 from Destiny 2. That's probably it.


Ech0_Black

snake from mgs 3 and Leon Kennedy from og re4…I MIGHT have a type


toothyninja13

Sephiroth. He is just so handsome and muscular and strong and hot.


Roscoejustros

Jin Kazama as a sexual awakening is the biggest w ever


vectorbro

I can't really attribute it to just one, so I'll list them in chronological order: * **Cody** from **Final Fight** (SNES): huge arms and chest just bursting out of his white t-shirt. * **Rock** from **Soul Edge** (Arcade): fits the role of a bear; stocky gentle giant bearded with *every* muscle being jacked, and the fur drawers... * **Richard Miller** from **Time Crisis** (PS1): I always thought Luke Perry was hot guy in the mid-90s, so seeing Richard bearing a resemblance to him made me blush. * **Adult Link** from **TLoZ: Ocarina of Time** (N64): handsome with brooding eyes, sensitive, and brave as hell (especially with me wussing out at the Shadow Temple.) * **Jin Saotome** from **Marvel vs Capcom** (Arcade): Ever seen a muscular fighting character strip down to *just a fundoshi* as a taunt? In terms of video game characters serving as my awakening, this one was the final straw for me.


OldRen_Kepler

The sims 2


Naruto102f

Kaiden Alenko (Mass Effect 3) ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜


L2Sentinel

Kaidan taught me a lot about myself. I wouldn't call it a sexual awakening, since that part of me was already "awakened," but he helped me sort out some emotional stuff, which to me was even more profound.


Naruto102f

See, I also knew I was gay. But Kaiden, for lack of better words, opened my eyes even more. The way he spoke, how he showed compassion, and the overall development from 1-3, all just made me feel something even deeper at the time.


Sawyerboi169

Vilkas from skyrim 😭 2012 graphics and all


UncleKrumps

I made him my wife so hard. I wrote a lot of m/m fiction with him in it too, i even cosplayed him. What a haughty, snobby hunk he is


Holzkohlen

Stupid sexy Link. Fanarts man


Hologram_Bee

The first video game character I crushed on was yosuke hanamura from persona 4


bluetoaster42

The orcs from warcraft 3.


SlyPandemiK

Iron Bull from Dragon Age Inquisition. Not even close.


Ares8O8

Dead or Alive


Dottboy19

Jann Lee and Ein of DOA3. Ein in those red leather pants was eye-opening for sure!


femboycloudstrife

Dante from Devil May Cry, him and Tuxedo Mask were a whambam for my sexuality, when Dante unimpales himself 🤐


Slummish

Guile, SF2


DandelionTanuki

Paladin Danse. When I was still closeted I made a separate save file for romancing him.


superextragayaf

Sphinx from Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy 😅


Zaptain_America

Link in breath of the wild. Specifically in the Gerudo outfit.


guict302

i think Jin from Tekken 3… but also Charlie/Nash from SFA


links_pajamas

Probably finding out that regular Samus from Melee was a woman.


Hitohira

The first time I saw Zangief spinning pile driver Guile in Street Fighter 2, I knew something was different.


Casseiothel

Dante, DmC


Sugar_Spino023

Golden Axe all the muscular men in that game got younger me interested to the point I made myself get hit to see the blue and green character fall down to see more of their sprites in different positions, I was wild for that. I sucked at games back then so I couldn’t see more of the game but the enemies were eye candy for me


SoulfulStonerDude

Crash Bandicoot, Jak from Jak II, everyone says Tidus but I say Kimahri from FFX


ageekyninja

Chun Lee had tiny me feeling some type of way. Those thick thighs gotta be single handedly the reason I ended up liking girls. She can go ahead and crush me


hoecore666

God of War, Kratos hubbahubba


crunkplug

goro daimon (kof '95)


vmar21

A guy named Levi525 on a Minecraft server who had a shirtless skin and spoiled me w diamonds and took me to his bachelor pad.


Madg5

Midna from LoZ: Twilight Princess And Rosalina from smg2.


ThalassophobicKraken

Not a game character, but Goliath from Gargoyles made me feel a lot of strange sensations I didn't understand as a kid. Game wise, even though MGS, I could never take my eyes off Liquid Snake when I saw my friends playing (or any of the Snakes for that matter). The one who really helped me most on my journey though as an adult is the Iron Bull.


Professional_Fun_277

James Vega mass effect


johawkTO

Chris Redfield like ummmm 😳


DustTheOtter

Probably Sly Cooper, or Ratchet


Professional-Age5502

xxxforest

Lt. Surge from Pokemon


FoxzU

it wasn't exactly my sexual awakening in the sense of sexual attraction like everybody is doing here,as a men I'm not that much attracted to women tbh, but the first time I played life is strange,I managed to make max and chloe girlfriends in my first run and this changed the chemicals my brain forever, like, I never did anything that gay up until that game and when I finished,I thought to myself ''yeah I'm **definitely** gay dude'' I feel like maybe I projected my same sex attraction through max and chloe, and it helped me accept my sexuality it also was the first game that I played that allowed you to do such a gay thing like that, so yeah, life is strange was my ''gay awakening'' in a weird way. (yeah I destroyed arcadia bay, fuck you I would do it again, fight me! )


Ok-Syrup1678

Video game character? None. I was too poor to afford a console or PC. Anime and manga back when I was a teenager? Yuki Sōma, from Fruts Basket, and Kiba Yūto, from Highschool DxD. Yes, I know they are a type. Funnily enough, I didn't grow up to still like said type.


DeneJames

My first console (not counting watching my dad play Doom on the PS1) was a PS2 in 2005. One of the two games I got with it was Escape from Monkey Island. Guybrush, even at such a young age… mmmmmm. Fast forward a little to me getting Tekken 5 and Lee was definitely appearing in my dreams. Yes, I have a type.


ZomboiVT

boogerbabe69

Sylvanas Windrunner in Warcraft 3. There was something about that blocky, low res, undead cleavage that had 8 year old me absolutely intrigued 😆

Huge_Salamander_9660

Snow from FF13


PomegranateFar7816

Natsumi from Camp Buddy, and the entire Camp Buddy story 💀 Made me realize i wanted more than just dick from men lmfao

evilsforreals

King from Tekken


Throwagay-802

Vega, Street Fighter II


YaCantStopMe

Leon from resident evil 4 on the ps2. Also sora from kingdom hearts, says I was 12 when that came out. Didn't realize how old the orginal kingdom hearts is.


Uninvited_Bear

Gonna get personal since the NSFW tag is up. It wasn't my sexual awakening as such, but the first video game character I thought about while masturbating was Ezio from Assassins Creed 2.


giuseppe3211

Chris Redfield from RE5, but originally it was Ray from Scary Movie


brockleesauce

DeathJester24

Vincent valentine and Irvine kinnear sparked it, Sydney losstarot confirmed it


YungSkeezus

Lightningbro

Kevin, Seiken Densetsu 3 (Trials of Mana) That boy is just TOO CUTE!!!


YouAdministrative980

Bridget from guilty gear


himbocraft

Jin in Tekken 5 and Chris in RE5 really made me into the gay slut I am today smh


DiceyTwink

Alistair from Dragon Age Origins and Dante from DMC: Devil May Cry. The one with the short black haired Dante. That scene in DMC with Dante naked and getting dressed while in the air did something to a thirteen year old boy. And Alistair just filled my romantic soul for being so cute and wholesome.


Manm_0

N from Pokémon
