Sounds more like Camp Straight or Ambiguously Bi.


* Ebisumaru from ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon'' is a glaring example of this trope, right down to the mincing gait and occasional crossdressing (not to mention his admiration of Goemon that borders on attraction). He's shown to be ''very'' interested in women, however, and to top it all off is [[spoiler:the revelation of his daughter Mao at the end of ''Goemon's Great Adventure'']] though [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse no mention of it is made after that.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Medievil}}'': [[ArcherArchetype Canny Tim]] displays a lot of rather campy mannerisms. Especially in the [=PSP=] remake, ''Resurrection''. The [=PS4=] remake, or more specifically the tie-in comic released alongside it, rectifies this a bit by implying that Canny Tim [[SweetPollyOliver was in fact really Canny Timberly]], but it's odd because the remake reuses most of the voice acting from the first game and Tim still really sounds like a young man.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': Franke Athens is heavily implied on her [[CharacterBlog Campster]] to be a lesbian. All of her favorite pieces of media have overt lesbian themes and she lists her sole interest as her friend Kitty Bubai. Kitty and Franke both list their relationship statuses in their profile as an "Open Marriage", implicitly with each other. While Vernon Tripe thinks he and Franke in a relationship, Franke shows no interest because she is stringing him along into doing her camp homework. Within the actual game however, Franke is just Kitty's [[BetaBitch friend]].

** In ''The Great Ace Attorney: Resolve'', Rei Membami is ''strongly'' hinted to be nursing a crush on her childhood friend Susato, and is shown unambiguously flirting with her both before ''and'' after [[spoiler:she uncovers Susato's SweetPollyOliver disguise as "Ryutaro"]]. The artbook inches it closer to canon by describing Rei's feelings for Susato as those of "yearning".

* The ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series has Murray, who is pink skinned, overweight hippo and is the only member of the Cooper trio to not have a love interest. WordOfGod has stated through the developers that they originally intended for Murray to be a gay/bi-curious character but the concept was dropped during development after test players were unable to understand dialogue from Murray that associated him with his sexual orientation.

Added DiffLines:

* Arcanette from ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII''. She's in a relationship with [[spoiler:Tanzy]], is mentioned to have flirted with another woman at one point, and never shows any similar interactions with men. However, [[spoiler:her "relationship" with Tanzy is only a means to get Tanzy to help her locate the Sacred Flames so the Moonshade Order can extinguish them]], which makes it ambiguous as to whether or not she's truly attracted to women.


Added DiffLines:

** Hassel and Brassius from ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' have a very close relationship and even use pet names for each other ("Brassie" and "Hass," respectively). Then there's the fact that Hassel rejected his family's inheritance (which likely would've required him to get married and have children) to focus on his art instead. However, there's no official word on what exactly their relationship is.

* Male [[{{Bishonen}} Blood Elves]] in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', though more as a joke than anything. Not only is this a joke among the players but many of the male Blood Elves' /emotes, particularity /joke, dab in this trope. Then there's Martek's tale in the quest "The Day that Deathwing Came: What Really Happened." Ironically, male Blood Elves are larger and more muscular than the average real-life male; it's just that males of the other races, including humans, are cartoonishly muscular.
