Is Skyrim promoting bestiality?

[Alar]

So apparently you can marry in Skyrim, this news is old now, you can marry same sexes too! This news is also old now. But has anyone stopped to think about the animal races marrying humans? :/ Now of course I'd love to demonstrate my male ego by playing as a Tiger, therefore the Khajiit perfectly represents what I'm about But there's something a little strange about marrying a female lizard (argonian) or heck even a human species :/ Will I ever get used to this? Will you ever get used to this? What do you think?

(Lets not get all serious, I really don't care that much, just thought it would be an entertaining topic)

I just know there's a bestiality forum somewhere on the internet talking about how exciting this news is, lol

I'm fairly certain bestiality has more to do with unintelligent animals who are unable to consent as people would. Yes, they can be conditioned to commit sexual acts and seemingly enjoy them, but they're not actually making that decision. You're training them to do so. If you're not even doing that, then you're just using them for your own pleasure.

In Skyrim, in this regard, I don't think it would at all be considered bestiality. What would it be? Just... interspecies sex.

Yes, Skyrim is forcing every one of it's players to marry, then have sex with a big, gay, furry, khajiit whether they want to or not.

I should know, I'm on the internet.

This shit again? YOU have a CHOICE to PICK who YOU WANT. simple as that.

 

[Lancer873]

Oh god... ENN's prediction has finally come true.

OT: Meh. Doesn't seem like that big a deal.

 

[Ekonk]

No, because the Argonians and Khajit aren't animals.

Does this even fucking matter? If you don't want to marry a cat or a lizard, then don't fucking marry it.
On the other hand, if someone does want to marry a cat or a lizard, why would you give a fuck? What's the point of giving a shit about something so arbitrary?

This thread is completely fucking useless and didn't need to be made. This is the kind of stupid shit that SHOULD result in a banning. If only this forum had proper forum moderation.

Funny enough, its replies like this that should result in a banning, I simply asked a question, I've made it pretty clear for people who can actually read (which I can see you are not capable of doing) that I had no issue with it or the game, I just thought I'd make a topic about it, 1. to talk about the prospects and 2. because I'm in fact excited for the game to release. I don't think a person who only came here a full year and a bit after I came should go on about what is appropriate here and what's not, I've never been banned, warned or suspended in the 3 and a bit years I've been here.

You're making a big deal out of nothing. You only had to mention that it wasn't in fact a form of bestiality and correct me which I don't mind or reply with something witty, which are the comments I'm paying the most attention to anyway, not rant on about some issue that you assumed I was "giving a shit about".

Oh god the furries.

oh god FOX NEWS!

skyrim is turning our youths into homosexual animal lovers! also it turns them into ax murderers. and heathen.

No, because the Argonians and Khajit aren't animals.

yeah! they're clearly plants.

Love finds a way. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4748292.stm

Honestly though, even though it's all make believe, within the confines of the game, these races have been living side by side for 1000's of years, and it may be an acceptable thing, even if bambinos are out of the question

Besides, it's not like they're animals, they appear to be rational, intelligent beings of different biological make up, nothing more!

 

[Tharwen]

"Press X now to have full, graphic, interactive sex with this she-lizard thing"

...or is that not how it actually works?

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Who cares?
Other than sensationalist media?
Also they're anthropomorph and sentient, so I don't consider it as beastiality.

so you intentionally made a sensationalist post and now you are wanting us to "not get serious", because you don't care that much?

What was the purpose of this thread then? earning the popular thread badge?

 

[lacktheknack]

I haven't played Skyrim, but what if it is promoting bestiality?

I might try a PC demo if it is available on Steam just check that feature out.

Skyrim isn't out until November, just fyi.

...And they've stated that there's not going to be a demo due to content type, also fyi.

 

[EliteFreq]

It'd be a tad racist to forbid the different races from marrying. That's like forbidding the Imperials from marrying the Redguards...

 

[Trebort]

I hope so

 

[teisjm]

No, they're not animals, therefore it can't be bestiality.

It's still kinda weird though.

Nailed it.

They're as far as i know, as sentinent as humans
It would not be anymore bestiality than a human marrying an elf, or a dwarf, just because the more normal fantasy races resembles humans more, doesn't mean they're humans.
If this is bestiality, Aragon and Arwens marriage at the end of LOTR is bestiality as well.
It's no more bestiality, than mass effect.

 

[Section Crow]

never played skyrim, don't no what the hell is going on

...googling...

not bestiality they are humanoids so it's hybridising i think...

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

Oh "ffs". I'm playing the ignorant card here by responding to the title instead of the opening post, but no. The freedom to do what you want to do is not promoting anything except...the freedom to do what you want to do.

-----

Fine, I read the opening post. Not as Conservative as I thought it would be, huzzah. But still--it's not the developer's intention to promote bestiality. It's the developer's intention of promoting choice.

 

[Bakuryukun]

They give you the choice to do something therefore they are promoting it? Sounds like well thought out infallible logic to me.

 

[Jumplion]

Pft, you and your prejudices!

I am totally going to do the Tiger-Tango with a Khajit or the Lizard-Lucha-Libre with an Argonian with my own Argonian warrior-theif. Besides, I hear those Elfs attract all sorts of nasty STDs that I, for one, would rather not associate myself with.

 

[Amondren]

Anyone else here read the lusty Argonian maid it was a book from Morrowind it was reaaaallly funny XD.
