@dirtymortalkombatconfessions
Hey y’all, I hope you know this blog is pretty much dead. I’m not deleting anything in case people want to look back and laugh but I’m not making more posts. I really love mortal kombat, it’s still my favorite mindless game but it’s pretty sad to see the state of the franchise now. A lot of the confessions got FAR outside my comfort zone which is pretty much why I stopped making these but might still post as a fan blog.
Interesting that MK1 gave what looks like actual Mileena skins to some characters. Like did yall have those the whole time and just went with the Havik ones originally? Did they just make these? Also weird that everyone is in purple and black instead of pink, it’s really giving goth Rain (who didn’t get a new skin) not Mileena
I did it y'all.
Okay but Mortal Kombat 1 Khaos Reigns can go fuck itself for technically no-homoing Mileena and Tanya.
I mean sure, they're not the same versions of Mileena and Tanya who were in the base game, but to have a base game that FINALLY gave us truly canon Mileena/Tanya, only to then go and have alternate versions of them central to the plot of the expansion, both of whom are with men is just SO disappointing...
MK1 is a major step back on the little queer representation the Mortal Kombat series has
Now, Mortal Kombat hasn't ever been particularly avant-garde about LGBTQ+ representation. I'm aware of that. But with MK1 they've proved something to me: they're cowards.
Reworking SubScorp, basically the ship with a 20+ year lore and the most fandom activity of this entire franchise, into some weird, pseudo-incestuous thing for absolutely no reason, is already a step back. Making Tanya's and Mileena's relationship into this "impossible romance" (AKA a very convenient way of leaving things ~ implicit ~ ) and then proceeding to shift focus entirely to Tanya/Rain in the Khaos expansion is another step back (yes, Tanya is bisexual and that's not a problem, don't put words in my mouth - I mean to say they found a convenient way of giving her sapphic relationship little explicit subtext and then ran to focus on her M/F relationship).
Genderbending an originally male character (Sektor) to make it more palatable to the audience when you try to build chemistry with a male character is also such a display of cowardice. How does no one in this massive well-funded studio have balls to display an explicitly queer ship on screen like they display the straight ones?
They took the laziest approaches possible and I wish more people were talking about this, not gonna lie. At least with Kung Jin, who seems to have been banned to the shadowrealm for now, they gave him a little plot line portraying homophobia as a genuine fear many of us have. The "me" who played MKX was terrified of coming out at the time and having Raiden acknowledge and accept him made me sob in a good way.
It's frustrating to see this retrogression as a fan for 15~ years.
No way mk1 made taleena canon just to put alt timeline versions of them in het couples
