Closing "controversial" threads...

Now shut up coz this will never be implemented as stated countless times before.

Behave, you can disapprove of their lifestyle without being cold. I dont mind homosexuality myself, and although one may have a valid point, their point sometimes can be very narrow and forget the broad spectrum of things. I had a few counterarguments which totally failed to be grasped by the other side though, it just seemed to be taken out of context by others... but granted here they are.

1. An online game should remain neutral on a controversial topic.

retort: "but theyre already forcing heterosexual marriage on children"
me: marriage is optional
retort: then if homosexual marriage can be optional, theyd have a choice.
me: if mommy/daddy says it's not ok, but game says it is, questions about their beliefs come into play, they no longer have their choice to themselves as theyre being bombarded by both sides. Thus game loses its neutrality aspect.

2. Game developers should not have to give into the request of a minority group. If you give one special treatment, you have to give them all special treatment.

(These are copypasted from the earlier threads)
retort: If you accept Women and Blacks as equals then you also have to accept Homosexuals as equals as well.

counterpoint: Not even comparable. Women and blacks were justified in their quest to be equal. The **** people are making a choice. I can't give any real reasons why it's wrong except that it's not natural.

And that is true, theres nothing wrong with homosexuals. And their cry for equal justice? How are they not being treated equally? Theyre not being segregated, they have every right to vote, perform civic duty, among other acts normal tax payers do...

Which brings me to my last point people seemed to not understand at all... (it was not about the indians!!!!)

3. There are other minorities out there with real problems today which practically go unvoiced because theyre squelched by the people, and they cry bloody murder over not being allowe to get married? Their voices seem to be crying out the loudest for change, but their problem is really the least in importance ,in my opinion, to other kinds of major minority issues today.

Now this is a purely opinion like stated above. I really think if they do have a battle to fight over it, dont make such a big deal about it, there is totally huge issues so many people deal with that are so much more important than the general public usually knows about.
perfect examples:
1. There is still forms of extreme slavery and child labor in the US, in the form of sweatshops, whether it be clothes making, gold farming on games, among other horrid things where these kids are treated like fodder for minimal pay.

2. North American Indians like my example prior. In 1887, they were promised reparations for all the land, gold, money, and resources taken from them by the Dawes act, and the government can deny the existance of your tribe and not give you your cut if your land is prime real estate. How is that constitutional?

3. Last years ballots in CA contained legislation that would essentially:
-Prevent pastors and other clergymen from speaking against homosexuality, it would be aganist the law, and could result in removal of your position.
-Forcing homosexuality to be taught in as low as second grade. FORCED to accept! It happened in massachusettes, they wanted to do it to us too.
Where is your 1st amendment here? The government said this law was unconstitutional, yet legislators went against them and put it on anyways. Im glad prop 8 passed in CA. Otherwise so many people would be -forced- to accept it, and lose their ability to decide for themselves.

4. Immigration! These people come from a land with corrupt government officials who rob the country blind as the population grows bigger and bigger with the lack of technology to swell it. What do we do with these hispanics? Some of them are living in dirt floor homes, with newspaper-lined walls, (Id know, go google Tulare County, CA, Highest Poverty rate in the US, Hihghest teen pregnancy rate in the US LOL) and work picking fruit and nuts daily for like 10-25 cents a lb. But its better here than in Mexico in some villages! But do we want to really send them back? These poorpeople are a minority too and have nowhere else to go.

So TL:DR some minorities have it real rough, yall dont need any special recognition ahead of everyone else, fight the good fight, but remember some times we all have our issues too. :P

All in all, its way too touchy to put in a game, and could bring lots of parents knocking on the GMs office the next day if it ever did be implemented

But killing things including other people is fine.

Its points like that that **** me off, they arent valid at all. They take something out of context and use it to try and poke at discrepancies. A fantasy game is not promoting homocide, and mass genocide of animals. It says "these evil creatures terrorize people, and threaten your existance, fight back against their seditious intents!"

In anycase, we can never know if he really doesnt allow it outside or not, and jumping to conclusions never helps anyone :P.

In anycase, if a homo man or woman wants to make the choice to be the way they are, more power to them. Just keep it off my game!

Lol... its not a choice? I honestly thought it was, Ive tried both sides, Ive tried my fair share of expirementing with men, and with women. Being with a man just didnt feel natural... I dont see how it isnt either, whether its your mind/heart telling youre attracted to the same gender, or your own decision to be so, its your decision to act on it, is it not?

lol in a sense of awkwardness:
