Ok.
Why is it that we get quotes like
Now, before you break your mouse from violently hitting that quote button to try to portray me as some sort of ignorant homophobe, know I am not against homosexuality, or it having representation in gaming. I dont have a problem with homosexuality in biowares games, cause really how many non M rated games does bioware put out?(I would say it would be arguably out of place in ToR with its T rating, except last I checked it is not actually IN ToR) But I call a spade a spade in this respect and inundating that much time/attention to accommodate homosexual fans is at incredibly disproportionate levels whereas it goes well beyond being tolerant, goes beyond accepting, it becomes encouraging. That is why people get upset. Its not that its there, its that there is entirely too much of it in biowares games that it does even if you try to ignore it become subject to constant reminders of its presence like an elephant in the room.
While the people launching these sorts of protests typically lack the eloquence needed to express resistance to ideology they disagree with, without falling to to the standby of Ikky or religious context. (Though all the eloquence in the world wont make a difference if people will automatically dismiss your reasoning as invalid just because they disagree with it) They fail to actually express what is bothering them which is the constant pushing this ideology on people.
Not saying this movement should get any sort of traction, but Bioware should not be dismissing this as some sort of hate when in actuality it is simply resistance to the massive over representation present. Since when did not approving of the things that someone else do become synonymous with hatred as if it was impossible to be against something and not hate that it exists. When did it Ok to be intolerant of intolerance and not viewed as hypocritical?
Anyway, You may now go ahead and start your quoting engines. Know my point of all this was simply to point out that there is a thread of validity to resistance to this, and automatically siding with acceptance and encouragement of homosexuality is not the same thing as being socially progressive. Ill go ahead and state, that for the devils advocate position I have taken I have said all I intend to say. I have expressed one subjective set of thoughts on the subject, and your totally free to express your own subjective thoughts on it. Just know I have nothing else to say on it and wont be addressing any quotes on the matter.
Why is it that we get quotes like
as it relates to thousands of people protesting the homosexual content, Yet homosexuality represents the interest of 2% And then dismiss this sort of protest as a form of an antiquated bygone ignorant era without ever addressing what is pissing people off about this in the grievous over representation of pro homosexuality desensitization present in these games by representing a disproportionate amount of chars as homosexual or having the capacity for homosexuality. Literally HALF of the playable chars in Dragon Age 2 can be homosexual. 5 out of 10. That does not even account for any NPCs of that persuasion. Thats not giving people options, that is forcing acceptance of an ideology on people when you realize half the char interaction content of the game is take up to what is an actual fringe interest because that means a major portion of your content is taken up out of accommodation.
