Only whatever character you play, OP. Only whatever character you play.

But I don't think Nathair every mentioned their hygiene. Considering the eloquence and content of their post, it's more reasonable to assume that they are educated. Their arguments against homophobia certainly does not paint them as a bigot.

 

 

Nathair didn't make the comment I responded to, funny she also took that as me talking to her for some reason.

 

Why are the grammar police so bad at reading quoted names I wonder?

 

But while we're on the topic, I don't find her that educated at all. Her points are largely illogical, and painted from a narrow world view. As a cultured and well traveled individual, I find myself a mosaic of political and ideological views. That's just the way it goes for someone who has spent significant time in various countries, you're more open to alternate views. I find this person main influence to be MTV, just repeating western liberal propaganda ad nauseam. Not that original or clever.

I've actually complained about that.

Given that this fictional world is governed by physical laws different from ours, I see no reason why it cannot be governed by different moral rules as well. The logic is equivalent.

 

Because fictional worlds still need to be relatable to some degree.

 

Morality is probably the last place you want to play around with too. It touches on human emotion more strongly than most subjects, making it a highly illogical thing to challenge.

 

Pretty sure BioWare would tank itself if it ever released a game where you can stab pregnant women.

Come now...there's no need to be unnecessarily outright insulting.

You truly are not understanding me, I will attempt to be more clear. I have no wish to "police" what other people say (I assume the missing word was "say"). What I am suggesting is that what people do say often has real impact and should therefore be considered carefully and taken seriously, and since what you say can usually be taken as illustrative of what you think then it is not at all unreasonable to form an opinion about someone based upon their words.

 

There's no trouble understanding that at all. You took the term "sexual preference" and your opinion on the person who said it is "this person is a bigot and a homophobe." This is not a logical position to take, I know this upsets you because you feel you are morally right, just, and above being challenged, but it just isn't so. Nor would any reasonable human being make such a ridiculous correlation between that statement and bigotry.

[SadisticChunkyDwarf]

I didn't.

 

You still responded to it as if it was. Which came off very odd and confrontational.

It's just an honest appraisal. No insult intended.

So we're not allowed to use the word "gays" now either, good to know.

 

 

Are you truly oblivious to the negative connotation surrounding that word? It's certainly not "disallowed" but it's hardly appropriate either.
