Well then, we're getting somewhere since the same is true both ways, then why insist on gay content in a game
when apparently heterosexuals have no right to experience the game without? else they have everyright to get flame if they ask for that option? (according to alot of gays since the begining of the thread).

Btw, if I recall the article of the OP is not really the ultimatum to scratch gay content completly out and neither is it what I'm suggesting.



I, personally, haven't insisted on gay content in my gaming. I'm thankful for when it does happen (at least if it's more than tokenism) but I am able to enjoy a game without it. I've got nothing but praise for BioWare for promoting inclusivity. However, I'm not going to be happy when people shout about excluding me solely because they dislike the content being in a game they enjoy when it barely even effects them.

This doesn't make sense at all.  Sure,  you can agree on not having sex with men, or women,  or what have you... but I don't see how that suggests you can't accept people who sleep with a gender outside of your own prefernce.  It baffles the mind.


Well accept what exactly?... I don't dismiss anyone that is gay or Bi I don't treat them any differently then anyone else, I'm just not interested in being subjected to a display of gayish behaviors. Note that when it can't be helped I'm not one to complain like this one time I happen to see two guys going at it kissing in an alley which had the effect of turning my stomach upside down, but I thought "Hey it's a free country, whatever turns them on"

Also you wouldn't catch me rounding up a bunch of friends and declare "It's kick gay person day!"

I don't think it's to much to ask from situations when it can be helped such as a video game.

Erm, equating sexual orientation with a human race? makes a whole lot of sence!... NOT!

So what you're suggesting is that Heterosexuals are not allowed to not agree with other sexual orientations?


I feel the need to point out that humanity is a single race here. 

Oh, and I'll also chime in with disagreeing with a particularly sexuality being silly. I don't disagree with heterosexuality, it's just not what I am. That's all there is to it.

Because including gay content is an inclusive idea while excluding gay content is, well, an exclusive idea?  It's the same reasoning behind why black people can eat at the same restaurant as white people and why we aren't sympathetic to the KKK.

I think this is probably pretty much a given for everyone isn´t it?

But anyways, Why are all so serious now?

Talking about dongs is way more fun:innocent:

You just dont want anything remotely related to hosexuality near you, but you fail to realize is that it will be near you on real life either you like it or not. You can make a game developer erase any trace of it in a game but you cant ask people to hide from you so you can feel more comfortable.

Have you ever come across any gay posting about an option to get rid of heterosexual content on any media. No, That would be just ridiculous. How is it that it is fair the other way around?

Because in his world, heterosexuals are natural and homosexuals are not.

Be careful, though.  When I asked a similar question to another poster a couple days back, he told me that they could include a "gay only" toggle, too.  That would make it fair, he said.

I think the fact that it "turns your stomach" is why people have labled you a homophobe. It shouldn't make you so upset! It's just a couple in an alley. That's it. And that's what most homosexuals want you to think.

This world would be a lot better if we just... hated each other equaly.

Well my point is that if heterosexual would have the ability to altenatly turn of gay content in a game, if gay peeps get the same option, hey all good and well!

And it's enough that in RL you can't control what you may see or who approaches you, is their really a need to add that type of situation i a game? well I think not.

Look at the Sims series. From Sims the original to Sims 3, homoseuxality became more and more accepted. In Sims, you could only have two sims of the same-sex live together in a very friendly relationship, but now in Sims 3, you can have sims of the same sex marry, adopt children, and do pretty much anything a married opposite sex couple can.

In short, get used to same-sex relationship content in games for now on. I don't want to be dickish or anything, but it's here to stay. Now I'm not saying that there will be two guys or girls making out in every game, but homosexuality will probably start to be lampshaded more than before.

I'm going to make another point here. There's all this disgust over one male character coming onto male Hawke at one point in the game because certain straight men feel uncomfortable with it happening to them in real life. However, there are certain points in this and other games where your life is threatened. Now, I'm fairly certain that most people wouldn't be particularly happy about having that happen to them in real life either but there's no outcry about that. It's a fantasy role-playing game. People need to take it a lot less seriously.

It can be helpe, though... that's what I'm saying. Can you give me a good reason as to why it upsets you? I understand the yellow beans but two guys kissing is nothing. It's just a case of thinking a little differently. Understanding more.

The stomach turning is caused by you thinking it is gross.
That should be able to be changed.
But only if the person is open for changing.

Sorry, did that sound hostile? I'm seriously not sure... :?
