Gamers have picked up on the subtle introduction of a new gay character in Mortal Kombat X. In a flashback featuring Shaolin monk fighter Kung Jin, he is told by the well-known character Raiden “Self-loathing has always been an unfortunate part of your make-up.” Later, he talks about how he won’t be accepted, and is told “They care about only what is in your heart; not whom your heart desires.” NetherRealm cinematic director Dominic Cianciolo has confirmed the analysis, tweeting, “I see people are picking up on the subtle exposition contained in Kung Jin’s flashback. Glad we have observant fans!”
