Sega had a rule against gays in their games? Weird. I thought they were the "what nintendon't" crew, all bad ass and not afraid to decapitate mother fucker and piss in their open throats.

They did? Huh, well sure hope they don't type in the name of their mascot into Google Image Search, or they're gonna find some interesting pictures with the blue hedgehog...and the two tailed fox, and the echidna and the black hedgehog....Yuji Naka must be proud.Originally Posted by Zing

Actually, I think Nintendo also had an anti-gay rule in their video game content, am I not wrong? I know for the 1st Mortal Kombat they were also anti-blood.

And yet no issue with cross dressing. Birdo is a male and yet dresses and thinks he is a girl. Not to mention that it appears Yoshi and Birdo are an item....
And then you start wondering how such anti-gay efforts become confusing in the gamers' community.

+1 to this. OP, are you 13 years old by chance?Your reading waaaay to much into this. Move on.
No, I am 30.
I think the point that him, myself and many others who have already posted were trying to make is: why does it matter? Many things get pass the QA testing department but this one seems completely insignificant. Rather the character is gay or straight doesn't really change the complexion of the game at all.
ALL HAIL THE 1 2 P
That kind of looks like a girl to me.
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, IT'S BACON!!!!
Why if he wears make-up, then that only adds to my point of view regarding his gay factor.
But it would be rare if, at all, any lady's mother chose to name her daughter after the Cantonese martial-arts expert Bolo Yeung.
As Aerosmith's Steven Tyler would sing, "Dude looks like a lady!"

Looks as if like Al Pachino and Alice Cooper had a love child.
I'll look into that show too, and you're right about those other bikers and plenty of other characters too. So far I've only seem the movie and select parts of the show for Fist of the North Star, it's a long show so I haven't tracked down the episodes to start watching everything. I know it would take awhile to do.
Is your youtube account ClassicTVMan1981X? If so I found a comment you made 11 months ago.
The video I found it on doesn't even have Bolo sounding like a girl, at least I didn't hear anything like that and I watched the video twice.I believe that Bolo is the gay Rasher here, because if you knock him down he sounds like a girl. Normally, Sega would not allow such content to be seen in games sold here in the USA (these rules were why Ash was not present in our version of Streets of Rage 3, because he was depicted as gay).

Yes, my previous YT usernames were ClassicTVFan81, ClassicTVFan82 and ClassicTVMan81.

I wasn't thinking make up. I was thinking a mixture of the hair and face. Looks more like a butch female than a dude. Keep in mind at the factory I work in of the few female employees we have most actually appear either as or MORE manly than Bolo here .... so my perspective may be skewed.
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, IT'S BACON!!!!
MM-HMM. ALL RIGHT THEN.
And again, this is something only the Road Rash 3 design team will ever answer to us about.
MM-HMM. ALL RIGHT THEN.

Okay, it's not unreasonable to expect that the Road Rash cast of characters, if we take the statistical reality of sexual preferences into consideration, contains one or more people who are gay. By that same token, if homosexuality exists in the mushroom kingdom, there are gay koopas and gay everything Mario, it's simply an unspoken assumption. Seriously, if it had been intended by the developers of Road Rash 3 that the character of Bolo was gay and that this male character having a decidedly girlish scream when knocked off his bike was supposed proof of that, what a silly and camp stereotypical way to go about it. Why bring the sexuality of the character into it at all if not for some ignorant guffaws to be had when you hurt the gay biker? Real funny. Also, like Gameguy, I watched that Youtube video and heard no such scream.
I'm pretty sure it's because the French being sissies has always been a stereotype.
