That's an interesting one because I actually always headcannon doom guy as gay ever since I was a kid and it was just being silly, always pictured him as a badass marine that loves sucking cock and he's fighting his way to hell because his bf died and was sent there.

Duke Nukem on the other hand was explicitly hetro which is fun, I would have also enjoyed in a different game a character like the duke who was aggressively homosexual or even better a good representation of a ego obsessed badass power bottom that has all sorts of fun quips like 'I'm here to suck cock and kick ass, and I already drained everyone's balls...' it would be silly, fun, and we could have lots of shots of his toned butt and stuff... But no, thirty years later and people are still scared of fun. Sad.
