I suppose you don't mind lesbian relationships, because that's just super hawt right?Myrmecodon said:
Honestly, why does someone's sexuality irk you so much? And how is it, as you imply, 'easier' and 'quicker' than a heterosexual relationship? Would it be 'easy' for you now to suddenly find men attractive? No, of course not, you're just spouting any old gibberish and using 80's logic to justify hatred of people who have, and most likely want, absolutely nothing to do with you.
If your problem with homosexuals is that they carry a higher risk of HIV, then don't have sex with gay men. In the end, your problem comes down to "some people are doing what I don't want them to do". Well, you know what, very few of us here want to listen to your baseless bigotry but we have to, so let's just all learn to get along and ignore the people we don't like.
I'll start.
Yeah apparently there are a disturbingly large number of people, both gamers and non-gamers, who apparently have no idea how a boycott is supposed to work.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
These guys also seem to have no idea what the word "option" means.

I say if gay coupling wear condoms there is no problem.
You call this lies and give examples of gay men living high risk lives.
You know what, STRAIGHT GUYS ALSO have a preference to go without a condom! I know, I am one! I don't though, because my dad had "that chat" about interest in girls and when I was 18 he made sure I had condoms and would use them. I can't imagine many dads having the equivalent gay conversation with their gay son, if they didn't completely disown them.
You can't label someone who is sexually active with many different people as monogamous, to somehow prove that ALL gay monogamy is a farce! You could do the same thing with any straight guy or gal who sleeps around a lot.
And you think it's some news flash that men are mainly interested in sex! Hold the fucking phone! Because I thought the reputation that every time the navy was in port all those pent up sailors were desperate to form a meaningful and committed relationship with the first willing woman they'd find... you know, sing to them, read them poetry while weeping then listen to them talk for FUCKING HOURS about every vapid part of their day OF COURSE BLOODY NOT!
All men, gay and straight are hugely motivated by the physicality of sex and they don't want to use condoms, but public health has changed them. The problem is you are looking at gays ins 1970's and early 1980's like when we first started using asbestos, an early and ignorant time that no longer exists.
Fathers talk with their sons about having relationship with girl, they tell them to use a condom, hell barbers on the weekend would chat about who the young guys asking what floozie they were dating and they'd give them "one for the weekend", a condom. It was integrated and institutionalised into life as a heterosexual to use a condom. And of course women were hugely pressurised into insisting on a condom for multitude of reasons.
But in the previous century this was NOT established with homosexual communities, gay people were ostracised from their homes and communities and with it any sort of advice on sexual health. Now it has been left up to gay organisations themselves and they HAVE pushed the message of condom use and it has worked.
And why would homosexuals have addiction issues? Maybe their parents disowning them? Poor prospects of society recognising any of their relationships? Their religion saying their god will torture them for all eternity when they die, even though they haven't inherently hurt anyone? Maybe it's people like YOU calling them walking time bombs even if they take the same precautions and risks as straight couples.
You give a great long spiel about the very earliest most irresponsible days of the gay community, where no care was taken to appropriately combat infections and diseases. Not as it is today. What you are saying is pre-AIDS the gay community didn't do enough to combat AIDS. Wow. And YOU use the Captain Picard facepalm? You devalue that jpeg.
Realise back then there was the common myth that everything could be treated with vaccines and anti-biotics. A myth many people hold today with every infection except HIV.
Dude, STOP LIVING IN THE PAST! The AIDS crisis rocked the gay community to its core, Condoms are and have been an absolutely integral part of it ever since and you know the single biggest proof of this:
Today, there would not BE a gay community if they didn't widely and consistently use condoms!
If you say that the entire or even a significant part of the gay community is still regularly having unprotected sex, then there wouldn't be any more gay people around, they'd all have died from AIDS. Steven Fry would not be alive, nor would Ian MacKellen, nor John Barrowman, not Anderson Cooper, not Elton John nor Niel Patrick Harris.
Living proof that the Gay "community" has largely shaken up its attitudes and adopted the sexual-health practices that heterosexuals take for granted. They have largely grown out of the fledgeling days of the 1970's where there was not a huge demand for gay marriage, but THERE IS NOW! And you CANNOT keep living 40 years ago when it suit you!
I may be straight male in my 20s but I have a great many friends who are gay.
They are decent people, who care deeply for their loved ones and do nothing wrong.
Then closed minded bigots run around attacking them.
Said people are no better than Red Scare patriots, Bush loving Muslim hating hicks, or high school drop outs who attack anyone that gets ahead in the world.
People are FREE to choose their own views, preach their own ideas, and do what they want as long as it hurts no one else. That is what the USA was founded on, and to a certain extent what Canada believes.
God I want to punch a hole in my wall seeing people get upset over a gay NPC flirting with their PC. Guess what people? ITS GOING TO HAPPEN! Zevran, Anders, Cortez WHATEVER if you dont like it, you can turn them DOWN and walk away.
Its people who cant walk away who burned heretics at the stake, or lynched people they did not like.
One of my best friends I studied with at university was gay, but we were great friends for a long while. But he was not my "gay friend", he was just my friend who was into things I liked a lot like Doctor Who, or Star Wars.
If you only see someone for a single trait then you are judging an elephant by its toe here.

Most of the vitriolic homophobes are Bisexual. They DO have sexual desires for men, but also for women. And in there ideology that utterly terrifies them and they can only rationalise it by demonising it and formulating reasoning to reject it. You don't see the ultra cool macho men like Clint Eastwood fretting over homosexuals, they are totally confident in their sexuality and just look at it like another alien on an alien planet.AngloDoom said:
So why is homosexuality a problem for weak minded bisexuals? Because they can't reject it because they aren't interested, because they ARE, they need to dwell in delusions of a certain death from AIDS or ass parasites. And WHY must they reject it? Because in their ideology it is black and white absolutes, gay or straight, they can't organise their minds.
Their spiel is entirely self conformational. It would suit them just as well if they wrote down their hateful spiel and threw it in the bloody ocean. It would certainly serve us better. He is clearly not trying to convince anyone but himself with crap like "herp, princess on Rebels side, militaristic Empire only SEE guys, so only guys = gay = lavender empire". Or how with unprotected sex you'd be just as likely to get any disease PER sexual encounter regardless of if you put your wang in a guy or a girl.
I wonder what to call this, a Troll is deliberately trying to draw you into a pointless fallacious argument, but with myrmecodon it seems like a really sad cry for help for a very angry, conflicted and emotionally immature man. Its definitely inflammatory and inappropriate for this site, he should leave and come back when he has got his life sorted out. Really and honestly face ANY aspect of homosexuality that is in them or COULD be in them. Either way, it is a decision between him and the moderators, he's been here barely a week and gotten a warning.
this.
shit like this has got to stop. it's just irritating. these people really have nothing else to ***** about? they got food, got a car, got a house, hmm so what do they complain about? gays in video games.
After the whole Dante's Inferno fiasco I am very reluctant to play along in this whole affair.
What are the chances that this is just a fake PR move pulled off by EA just to boost sales and improve their image.
Considering Fox news didn't do a piece on this I would say that the chances of this whole "Campaign" being fake are pretty damn high.
