I'm not sure I follow what you are getting at Julius, and apologize if I misunderstood:

a) I don't know if a kiss would always have to be erotic. I agree that kisses many times could be experienced in such a way and that they in general may even perhaps be strongly connected to sexuality. That said, there is still no [i]logically necessary[/i] connection between kissing and sexuality. In either case, no matter if it is or isn't considered erotic by the viewer, it would be perfectly fine as a part of WTactics.

b) If you with homoerotic mean two men kissing, it would also entail that a man and woman kissing would be heteroerotic. If the last one isn't a problem, then the first one isn't, and vice versa.

c) If you with homoerotic mean [i]men in uniform kissing[/i] I share your notion that such a concept is indeed [i]a part[/i] of the contemporary gay (pop)culture. Depicting uniformed homosexual men, soldiers, firemen, etc. seems to be a genre of it's own within gay culture. In this particular case however, the picture was made for WT, and the game is one of war and is filled with soldiers. The presence of uniformed men and the soldier theme is common in the game, thus it is, when the image is within it's original context, a plausible and much less erotic scenario altogether.
