I could be wrong but didn't the glitch in the game that was 'patched' have something to do with letting you swap the gender clothing palettes when importing characters? So technically it was more of a cross dressing glitch than a gay marriage one, and I would say is kind of a poor substitute for the latter.Big_Isaac said:
The inherent problem is that stupidity doesn't significantly make things better, especially since they are "out of touch." It really also doesn't help that people jumped to their defense for being a Japanese company, as though that somehow made any of this particularly more acceptable.shrekfan246 said:

Well, yes, but I think it's jumping the gun a bit to go right to calling them "bigots" because of this. I can't say one way or the other whether Nintendo are bigoted or not, but saying stupid things and handling a sensitive situation in a poor manner doesn't automatically make them so.Zachary Amaranth said:

Based on the Direct that seems to be something you can do in game. You can transfers your current Mii's (and alter their voice) or make female/male Miis (depending on the relationship your going for) and have them look like the opposite sex- transfer them over to the game, adjust the voices accordingly and have yourself a good ol time.Imp Emissary said:
The issue is that even if he was just focusing on the statement it reinforces the increasingly popular and very bad notion that if "If your not for us, your against us". Especially when it comes to clash with other regions and cultures that don't give a shit about Western ideals. In the case of Nintendo they make a game that is only for a Japanese audience. Japan is a place where gay marriage is illegal. As such it comes to no surprise that they don't put that feature in the game.But Jim wasn't making that the whole focus of the episode and I'm sure he'd be happy to be corrected.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset. It's reasonable to be, when people are using incorrect information. Not just because it's annoying, but also because it makes the people using it look bad.
I know it can be hard, but ya got to try and keep a level head.
I have no problem with inclusion in games, It doesn't hurt anyone. To each their own. However there are still a great many cultures and people in this world that find homosexuality to be an abomination. At this point all inclusive relationships should NOT be default. It's as perfectly okay to be intolerant of same sex couples as it is to tolerate or support same sex couples as long as you don't act out on your prejudices.NightsOwl said:
Probably because a huge portion of that game involved reproducing with your loved one with your child inheriting both parents traits. How would you go about it with a gay marriage? Select a surrogate? Magic pregnancies? A Mass Effect Asari body meld?Dragonbums said:

Muslims aren't a 'race'. Most Muslim countries aren't theocracies (62% of Muslim population are in SE Asia), and have secular laws banning child marriage (even if they have trouble enforcing them). Law overrides religion. So no, they aren't being 'racist' against anybody.erbkaiser said:
