One other aspect of the Saints Row series, specifically Saints Row 2, that provides LGBTQ content is the taunt/compliment feature. While it is still possible to create a female character with a masculine voice and vice versa, the only other option for nonbinary character creation is by cross-dressing. In regards to Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row 4, many of the customization options that were available in Saints Row 2 have been removed in favour of other programming upgrades.

If you select either a man or woman by default, the hoing activity will be of a heterosexual nature however, if you create a transgender character, the hoing activity will be homosexual as the game programming will register your character as the default gender you selected. In doing so, you can also create homosexual characters which can be confirmed doing an activity called 'hoing'. All one has to do is select a gender then move the slider, which alters the sexual attractiveness of the character (enhanced breast for women, enhanced phallus for men) to the left for a man or right for a woman. Ruperetta, a trans woman with a long-lasting love for the Saints Row series, sent us some additional information via email:įirstly, it is possible to make non-binary characters. Two respondents to the Queer Representation (2016) survey survey suggest that Saints Row 2 or Saints Row: The Third have a gender slider that can be used to denote gender on a scale. And take a look at my Saints Row preview from May for a better idea of what to expect from the reboot.Though imperfect (you are still required to select a gender from binary options), the character creators in the Saints Row series (minus the first title) have a lot of options that can be selected by either gender, not restricting the player to man-only and woman-only hairstyles, body types, or voices. If you're partial to rocket launchers, you can nab yourself an exclusive one by registering for a Saints Row account via Boss Factory, which will be unlocked when Saints Row launches on August 23. There aren't any 'male' or 'female' choices, just one list everyone shares, right down to Saints Row's trademark chest and groin sliders. Prosthetics are a welcome addition, and the barriers that can crop up in character creators with locked-in, gender-specific options aren't present here.

I'm looking forward to the version of Boss Factory that exists once you've hit the shops and unlocked some new fashion disasters, but it's already pretty flexible. They say you should go out on a high, so I ended my foray into Saints Row's wardrobe there. Is this my subconscious telling me something? Do I need more vitamin C? Anyway! This one is probably closest to her inspiration, even without the sci-fi gizmos. I'm only realising now that it's another orange one.
