Why would he do that, he's asexual (part of the reason why he's baller, because he's never once shown to have lust for either men or women) |

Ocelot asexual? He doesn't seem so, to me he looks even kinda lewd at times. In any case, I think I understood how things went: it's a retcon!! Because Kojima originally didn't have so much things planned for the character of Ocelot, obviously. Then once he started giving him more personality, the fact Ocelot had to turn into a more sympathetic character to the public caused a contraddiction with the MGS1 events. |

That's just you misinterpreting him that way. He's never once shown any attraction to a male or female. I think this is part of what makes it fitting that he's the grandmaster orchestrator by the end of mgs4 (and yes I know kojima didnt think of mgs3 and 4 until after he initially decided to stop at mgs2) |

it makes no sense to say that he's asexual. you can't always tell in real life what a persons sexual preference is or if they're not inerested in anyone (not too many people like that) unless you know them. when did liquid or gray fox or a crapload of other chracters ever demonstrate or confess sexual attraction? does every character have to have a love story to make us believe they're not"asexual".

Gray Fox has had a lover before. Like I said, it's more fitting considering his ability to transcend what is normally expected of a person...or maybe I just think this because he's a lot like me, and I'm asexual (apathetic might be a better word, idk).

I dont think would would have had that much choice in the matter. If Ocelot deemed it a necessary form of torture he could have pulled it off. Afterall he was Liquid's right hand man. Not only that, I don't think Wolf would have cared all that much for Meryl. |

I see the point your making. But I'm just going on my interpretation of her character from when I first met her, so to speak. Both she and Raven never gave me the impressions that they were 100% devoted to Liquid and his (or rather supposedly his) plot. If FOXHOUND and the Genomes threw a party, I seriously doubt Wolf would be the life of it. |

i think everyone is reading way to much in to this, i think the line "yes and worse" was ment to make the player feel for Meryl as she wasn't hardened solider like Snake. I believe Kojima wouldn't want to hit on a subject like rape, and if he did he would handle it appropiatly. As far as killing the DARPA chief it WASN'T an accident as he even tells us in the phone call at the end "No, sir. My cover is intact. Nobody knows who I really am. Yes, the DARPA Chief knew my identity, but he's been disposed of." |

But, this is a japanese videogame. They put stuff like rape and hot babes and tentacles all the time. The MGS saga is definitely no exception. XD To put jokes aside.... I still go for a retcon theory. Because had I played only MGS1 I'd have thought that Ocy raped Meryl. Only after MGS3 and MGS4 one starts wondering if it was really like that. We see how characters developed to become more human. Big Boss was just some sort of crazy warmonger tyrant back in the Metal Gear games, right? (Offtopic sidenote: Ocelot definitely isn't "asexual". There's just so many examples about that. In any case, this is beside the point. We were discussing a possible discrepance between Ocelot's personality as portrayed in MGS1 and as portrayed in the later games, we're not discussing a character's sexual tastes. XD ) |

Agreed. I find Raven more devoted to Liquid that Wolf was. I doubt shed be the life and soul of any party. However, I don't think she would have gone as far as to stop Ocelot. She would have just gone to see to her puppies (take that how you will) and ignored the 'politics' of the situation. I don't think she involves herself in any major decisions at all. Your post did make me laugh my arse off though. |

Damn it. All I wanted to write in this post was *giggles uncontrolably* but I can't do that due to minimum post requirement. *giggles uncontrolably* There. Much better. EDIT: If Olga is Nicole Ritchie, then we sir, have come to an accord. Edited by Nils, Jul 18 2008, 09:41 AM.

how do you now when gray fox had a lover? i see what you're saying but do you think that his character was going to have a romantic relationship in the story? he just doesn't care for anyone but he could still get pleasure out of sexual encounters. i don't think he's asexual. he just doesn't care about anyone. he just idolized big boss. who knows |

You all do realise that that's what "asexual" means, right? Strike that, never mind. Looked the word up. Edited by Solid Spartan, Jul 19 2008, 05:58 AM.

It was revealed that Gray Fox had a lover in one of the first Metal Gear games. I can't remember which one it was exactly. |

In MG 2: SS...a skater named Gustava Heffner...although I believe in the original versions her name was Natasha. I'm just saying someone with such grand schemes as Ocelot (first with the Patriots, and then trying to make Big Boss's dream come true) shouldn't have his "mystique and aura" be dragged down by sexual interests...but that's just me.

This has gone kinda offtopic isn't it. XD In any case, I don't see what's the fuss about Ocy being possibly attracted by someone. It would make him more realistic. Even the legendary icon Big Boss did have his desires. XD |

I think MGS and Meryl in it was way too dramatic for her to be abused by nobody, I could be wrong though, but I don't think it was Ocelot either. |

yup, she means sexually abused. When I first heard her say it, I knew that was what she was referring to. It would have been a normal soldier, if anyone. It was an interrogation
