Think of the repercussions, **** Marriage = no

In before the immature flaming, pun intended.

Same sex marriage is screwed up to begin with. People have this mentality of "I think therefore I am" and thats the whole reason we have these **** mofos running around. Little billy has some **** thoughts at age 14 and by 25 he's a flaming queen.

That wierd **** doesn't need to be in a video game. I'd quit. ;o

NO to all this perverted,twisted,abnormal,sacreligious,blasphemous,pagan, **** nonsense.

Keep it at home in ya room or some dark corner where you can't disgust normal people.

Earth to stupid...you're not going to "turn" **** because you messed around in an animated game. Really, who cares? How does it affect you? I can understand that PWI won't introduce this because of controversy, traditional beliefs etc, but the flaming is completely ignorant and unnecessary.

But also in western countries, if a child under 13 has the permission of a legal guardian, they can agree to the TOS and play. Its also legal in some states for those who are 16 to get married in the US with one of two options:

A. Signed consent from legal guardian or parent.
B. 16 and pregnant with child.

Your argument doesnt refute anything here, its way too taboo to bring into a game.

(im sorry, but) so, a woman has to be 16 and pregnant with a child? can a woman be pregnant with anything else? b:questionb:laugh

At least it provides entertainment.

Same sex marriage is going to happen. Its up to the Devs as to whether or not it will happen in this game or not. Every arguement that is used to prevent it has already been proven to fail. If you do not believe me then look back through history and tell me why I cannot own slaves. Or why women have the right to vote. Or why the United States even exists.

If you accept Women and Blacks as equals then you also have to accept Homosexuals as equals as well. The plain and simple truth is they are human, just like you. They are just as smart or stupid as you. The only differance is that they have different likes and dislikes then you do, and whats really scarry is they also have the same likes and dislikes as you.

But if you really want to use the religious arguement for why there can be no **** marriages, then lets apply that arguement the way the bible intended. Marriage was intended so that a man and a woman could conceve a child. Since we cannot conceve children in this game we should ban all marriages. And lets take that a step further and ban all Real Life marriages where the couple either have no intention of having children or are unable to have children. If that sounds stupid to you then you have no right to use religion as a reason to prevent same sex marriage.

As for our children, it should fall to a the individual parents to determine how to educate their kids on sensative matters. If you are not active in your childs life enough to know what they doing on-line, or at school, or while they are playing with their friends then its your own fault for not paying attention to them. Don't ask the rest of the world to do it for you.

Enough of this stupid topic. Get back to playing the game.

^ thats just the thing, theyre already treated perfectly normal, and generally accepted by culture in mainstream society.

Yeah their are treated perfectly normal, which is why they have such an easy life. Its not like they can't get married or anything... They just have to be willing to fly around the country to do it. Oh yeah and let not forget our Don't ask Don't tell policies in the armed forces. If it slips that you are **** while serving our country you get booted from the military. 'Poor Johnny over there got shot 3 times while fighting for our country. He was about to receive the purple heart when it was found out that he is ****. Now he has been dishonorably discharged.' Seems perfectly normal to me though. And thank god they don't have to come to games like this and have try to petition to get equal recognition.

Your arguement fails. If you truely believe what you said then you would not have even started this thread. Either that or you are not part of "mainstream society" and therefore you opinion doesn't count.

In the United States **** and lesbians can legally marry in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont (beginning September 1, 2009) and Maine (beginning mid-September 2009). New Hampshire Governor John Lynch has said he will sign legislation to legalize same-sex marriage there, as long as steps are taken to protect religious institutions.
New York recognizes marriages by same-sex couples legally performed elsewhere.

its illegal everywhere else in the US.

So are you agreeing with me? This proves my point that it is going to happen. Why stop it in this game? And BTW Govenor Patterson in NY has stated that he will sign into law legislation for **** marriage, as has The Govenator in California.

I think this is being over-thought.

If you support in-game same-sex marriage, petition.

If you don't support it, petition.

If same-sex marriages aren't ratified, rinse and repeat.

If they are and you're offended or worried on behalf of the kids, tell them that the things they see, do, and see other people do on the internet aren't necessarily good/right/healthy in real life - a general rule of thumb for all information and impressions gleaned from the 'net.

Personally, I submit that there is damage to neither people nor property if in-game same-sex marriage is permitted. It represents no factual commitment, no potential offspring, and no more propensity for public licentiousness than the bust-sizing tool in the character creator or the option to play in one's skivvies already does. If the objection is purely ideological: I'm sorry, but the internet is a -very- big place, the lure and value of which exists primarily in the possibility of airing one's opinions and proclivities without fear of actual persecution. Random strangers will still offend people by offering them rides/embraces, and world chat will still be rife with innuendo and arguement, but PW will still be -just- a good, free game.

I think this is getting out of hand. First off, this is still a forum and I think name calling of "****" and stuff doesn't need to be in this argument. Second, this isn't an argument of **** Marriage in the REAL world, but in PW.

I have friends and relatives that are homosexual, but they play PW because its fun and is an escape for reality. They don't want to be reminded of the stigma that they are enduring outside of the game-so why bring it inside the game?


Besides, what does the "marriage" thing even do in PW? From what I've heard, you don't get any benefits other than a big sign over your head saying who you are married to, and a title of Husband or Wife. Why can't people make another toon (which ever gender applies) to marry the other? However, if you are irked because it says Husband or Wife when you are the opposite gender, I must ask: is it really that big of a deal?

Most people don't mind other people's sexuality. We aren't trying to repress homosexuality in you if that is how you swing. But seeing how this is a game, the topic isn't really relevant here. PW will go through a lot of trouble with parents, higher ups and such about this topic, and it will get blown out of the water because people will link it to the political events that are happening, and PW will just be caught in a shlt storm. And if PW is caught in the fire, it will affect the other players as well.

Bottom line is this: this is ultimately still a game. Real life issues shouldn't be affecting our characters.

(Well if you spilled your soda all over the keyboard and you can't move your character as they're being killed by Qingzi, then you could say that is a real life thing that is affecting your character >_>)
