Your an ass, Yes its the 21st century, that doenst mean he should accept homosexuality. People have different views and just because his doesnt agree with yours doesnt mean his thinking is in the past. I for one dont like homos but Iam keeping quiet about it as I  dont have to romance the dudes.

The mere thought... I have no words.



JOKES, I do. Annoying personal philosophy aside, it is not only absurd but completely ridiculous to view any orientation be it sexual, spiritual, or otherwise as anything to be 'accepted'. It is not a single persons place to accept homosexuality, any more than it is my place to 'accept' you.

Besides, that line of thought is in the past and it is called groupism - think racism, but with anything that isn't race-related and can be grouped. Which is everything. Groupism is a huge part of humanity's culture, sure, but it is being phased out ever so agonizingly slow. It hails from yon primal days and is a burden on today's society more than it ever was a boon.

Anyone else boycotting this game because of the adult homosexual content?


I'm seriously thinking about not playing the game until it's modded to remove all homosexual content.

What if Mike Hawke was walking through Kirkwall and suddenly saw something like this?

Two gorgeous, muscular men kissing one another. Taking refuge in one another's strong but loving embrace?

Horrible!

Much better to spend my time playing Fallout and enjoying those slo-mo headshots.


your my hero!

It's interesting that ‘adult homosexual content’ is somehow a better reason for you to boycott it than the rampant, wanton slaughter.

If you take a game that seriously (and I'm not saying you shouldn't), should that not be of immensely higher moral priority?

Weird values are weird.


Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible. Slaughtering mindless darkspawns (the devil) isn't.




Actually I don't think it's mentioned in the bible. Once.

I'm a straight male from Louisiana, and I've been in favor of equal romance options for homosexuals since KOTOR. I am not offended by men or women kissing or anything, and I find it joyous and beautiful when two people truly love each other, no matter what their genders.

We exist down here. We're just in the minority.

Well Wacko in the old testiment it also said that a rapist needed to pay the father 50 silvers and marry the raped victim.

Also homosexuality is part of reality. Accept it.

No it does mean he's thinking in the past. It also means you're thinking in the past. 

Explain? Because my views on a certain topic differ from yours Iam thinking in the past? Not true good sir. I dont wish to get banned over getting into a arguement about homosexuality.


I disagree with homophobia. I think it's vile, backwards and damaging. I think the people who willfully embrace it (especially out of usually religiously motivated ignorance ) are disgusting. But it's totally cool brah it's just a difference of opinion man.

Discrimination of any kind is horrible.  Disliking someone for solely based on their sexual orientation is an ignorant view, I myself am a lesbian woman who has to deal with a father who hates me just cause of my orientation, cruel people who harass me whenever I'm out with my girlfriend or gay friends.  I am a good person, I worked abroad for 2 years helping less fortunate communites in South America, am currently getting a degree in Marine Biology, I don't drink nor do drugs, I respect others and don't hate.  Yes others have a different way of life than I do, different religions and views, but it is all a part of this beautiful world that people need to start actually educating themselves of others and enjoy this diversity.  Otherwise the world would be pretty boring.  I am not saying you have to like LGBT, just try not to hate anyone soley based on their sexuality.

I'm like 99.9% sure this has to be trolling, guys.

If it's not trolling, then I'm really sad, but not really surprised.

Who says we're liberals? While being liberal helps you to be non-evil, it isn't necessary.

Damn I guess my prejudice against all southerners is without complete reason. You people have changed my view from disliking all southerners to disliking most southerners.

Ugh. Totally an inappropriate conversation for these boards.

Props to Bioware for their pro-equality mindset, though.

Hating an entire group of people for something as innocuous as who they chose to be romanticly involved with isn't "a different opinion" that should be respected. It IS intolerant and should ABSOLUTELY be reviled in every way.

No sir I'm afraid you're the one in error. Disliking people based on sexual preference is, well, silly. You might as well state you don't like black people next, or arabs,or asians.

There is one race, it is the human race, in all its diversity. Your fears are the fears of generations of maladjusted thinking, distilled, into you by your environment, by your peers, and by those you saw as role models.

Grow outside this and join the rest of us, the human race, we'll be here when you decide to stop by.




Sexual preference and race are two completely different things. Being a minority I'd prefer if you didn't compare the two. Either way I agree that we are all humans and it is immature to dislike someone based off of sexual preference. I don't have to agree with someone's way of life, but if we're all equals so who am I to judge?


It really isn't. You can't choose to be black/asian/spanish just as you can't choose to be gay or lesbian. And saying you don't agree with someone's way of life when they don't have control over their way of life is being close minded. I could easily say I don't agree with asian's culture/way of life but they don't have control over their culture or their way of life. 


I disagree with what you're saying, but we can agree to disagree

I don't believe in boycotts. Even if I opposed homosexuality, I would not oppose depictions of it. It's a reality that needs to be depicted in social media -- whether for good or for ill.

I think I'll need to  post a picture Ellen Degeneres and her wife to neutralize this post. Do you want me to post a picture of Ellen? do you? do you!!


Do. Ellen is smoking hot. As is her wife Portia.

More on topic: A big reason I love Bioware so much is because of the homosexual sex. I plan on giving Isabella some sweet sweet Lady!Hawke loving. <3

Not everyone does the homosexual romances.

Honestly this "boycott" of yours will go about as good as the one aganinst Left 4 Dead 2.

And that's bad. Besides the Bible says nothing about homosexuality in video games does it?

And just in case: obvious troll is obvious.

Lul. I understand you were molested by your catholic priest when you were 7, but don't take it out on homosexuals. Just kill yourself.

But seriousy, grow up! <_<

As for Texastoast...well I can't generalise everyone there but the word "Texas" doesn't do you justice.


Hey, don't generalize... I am Texan and see nothing wrong with homosexuality.


Oh don't worry, I said "I can't generalise" there. :happy:

It's just that Texas is known for it's more...."irrational" nature against homosexuality among other things. Though, i believe Austin is supposed to be a whole different world though...

Uggh, I'm feeding the troll...

As for "don't hate the sin, hate the sinner". It's crap. It's just a way for crazies to have their moral highground while masking their hatred behind "love."

No. If you hate the "sin" then you hate the "sinner" too .Sexuality is a part of person just like any other trait is. Do not put on a front about it, you hate homosexuals and you think it is choice that can be easily fixed...you fear them. That's that and there is nothing you can say about it because you know it's true.

Fear breeds ignorance, and clearly this is what the op is expressing.

Anyway, /rantoff

You clearly havent read it then. As it is mentioned that having "relations" with another person of the same sex is an offense. Oh well, this thread has gone to the dogs Iam out.

That is true.

Which reminds me: stoning women to death for adultery (or being raped and failing to scream loud enough) is endorsed by the Bible, and I haven't seen any indication that taking this action is supported by Dragon Age II. Please deliver, BioWare. Also, slavery.
