I really couldn't care less if he's gay, straight, bi, pan, asexual, or what have you. As long as he doesn't turn into another Janey. Or, god forbid, another Dr Zed.
This franchise doesn't need another character that repeats the same joke every other time you talk to him. Made worse by the vending machines.
His 'no license' schtick was funny the first few times. Not so much the next half a hundred.

OP's post slightly plays on the trope that if Character A is gay and their best friend Character B is the same gender, clearly A must have a crush on B, which I'm not a fan of. Just saying, if Rhys were confirmed gay, it doesn't necessarily mean Vaughn would be the dude he'd want to be with, and vice versa. I don't mind ships, but I do also love well-written platonic relationships.
On a lighter note, I love the TFTBL characters, and pretty much any character in this game could (consensually) end up with any other character and I'd still go "Awwwwww" (and that certainly includes Rhys and Vaughn).
I spent many years thinking there was something wrong with me (i still do sometimes). A lot of my friends as well when i tell them that i'm asexual tend to find it weird and often say that it doesn't even exist. As if they know me better than myself >_>; i tend to just bite my tongue though since i often find that no matter how much i try to explain it, they never seems to fully listen. On the bright side, the few who do accept it are the people i consider my actual friends and whom i'm closest to. So it's not like i'm totally alone
It was crappy to hear, as a small part of it is technically true (sexually/physically abusive stepfather) but I truly don't believe that has… more anything to do with my sexuality today - sex doesn't scare, sicken, or traumatize me. I just find the thought of it tedious and uninteresting.
It stinks that so many people automatically assume that asexuality isn't actually an orientation, and say that it's solely the result of sexual trauma. It's such a common misconception. Kind of like when my little sister came out as bi last year... my (real) dad called me in tears asking what man had hurt her to "make" her bi and I had to have a lengthy talk with him about sexuality not being a choice or a result of sexual trauma. Boy, was that an awkward conversation...
You've only proven that you like to say provoking things and wind people up and usually very negative about pretty much everything. And also that you like to assume things which is not even here (as I don't even have a tumblr for instance or was never offended and the mere idea is ridiculous). So I guess that further conversation will be pointless.
Maybe so but it's nowhere near as bad as Zed and his vending machine from hell. And that's probably where my dislike for his joke comes from because i can't stand Marcus either.
Nah. Has nothing to do with Tumblr, more just the fact that it's a fandom and any fandom has it's random crackships. Reminds me of my otaku days in highschool...ah... the pairings....
Oh I'm with you on the denial of existence thing... you wouldn't believe how often I'm told "You just haven't slept with a guy who knows what he's doing yet" or "Well then you're having sex wrong" and other similar such garbage.
That's exactly like me!

I hate Marcus, I'm honestly surprised no one has killed this fucking prick yet. He acts like pandora can't do without him and hia guns but in a universe, seemingly, ruled by big gun corp. A blind man could probably toss a rock and hit another gun dealer.
Also he sells loaded guns to people then treats em like shit, yeah thats smart. I seriously wish we could kill him and let the next person, undoubtedly waiting just around the corner, take over.
I personally think we, as the players of the characters, should have a saying in this. Kinda like in Sims where you can decide if you want your sim to date females, males or both without having a specific "sexuality button" but just by interaction. Or make him bi and let people pick who he likes more.
I personally prefer broships over relationships. I'm not a cheesy person, yo.
Well I always enjoyed the stuff you write here yes I disagree with some of that but I also have few good laughs at people trying to bash you and getting so worked up over something.
I don't have an account there but well if everyone here was from tumblr then Rack would be the main ship if the amount of gay pics is any indication.
I don't try to provoke people, its just that my opinions tend to offend them. I'm okay with that as long as I get my say.
I wasn't entire… morely serious about you having a tumblr, it's just that some people here demonstrate the stereotypical "tumblr blogger" archetypes.
I love it when shows play up bromances - I feel like it helps younger guys irl realize that they can express themselves to their friends without being seen as 'less manly'. I love seeing gay representation in video games (and Borderlands has been good with that so far, hopefully we'll see trans representation in BL3 or TFTBL!), but I'd be totally ecstatic if Vaughn and Rhys' relationship were platonic but still epic, like Turk and JD from Scrubs. Guy love! XD

I agree. Personally, I'd honestly prefer there not be any official couples in TFTB, as far as player characters go. I don't think romance is necessary for a good story, and it'd only alienate the players who didn't feel they were taking the characters in that direction in their playthroughs, be it the choice of love interest or the inclusion of relationship stuff itself.
Now what I wouldn't mind seeing is a choice between being faithful to a platonic bromance or a slightly abusive frenemyship...

At this point the writers are heavily pushing for Rhys to be attracted to Sasha. I'm fond of Vaughn as a sidekick, so I don't know how things go if you treat him poorly this episode.

Wait... what's wrong with Zed?

Huh, I never paid much attention to what he says and barely even notice that when I buy something from vending machines normally.
Wow. That's pretty incredible.
Bloody hell, this is why you don't bring up gender/orientation in ANY forum. It devolves into Tumblr rants and "OH, I'M OFFENDED, GIVE ME ATTENTION!".
Can this thread be closed already?
You just described almost every BL2/TPS character.
I have to admit I don't really like where this thread is going.
You're not afraid of a little tetanis are ya?

>Easily offended
I've proven my point, I think.
That's exactly like me!

What if Vaughn isn't gay tho?

Then we'll get another scene like that one in the desert?
But if we take OP seriously, I think the real question was "would they make a good couple or not".
Maybe so but it's nowhere near as bad as Zed and his vending machine from hell. And that's probably where my dislike for his joke comes from because i can't stand Marcus either.

I don't think his use of the no-license joke was worse than Markus' no-refund one, personally.

Rhys/Zer0 is my OTP, so yes! Of course he's boody gay, did you see how he acts the whole time? xD
