Hmm I am continually offended that these groups always use "family" in their names. It has become so bad that the words "family" and "family values" instantly turns your mind to anti-gay rhetoric. A nice wholesome word, family, suddenly feels like a oozing glop of intolerance (and in some cases abject stupidity).
Family values have nothing to do with gays. It is spin to make, what is in the end, bigotry sound wholesome and it disgusts me.

"the biggest threat to the empire may be homosexual activists" Out of context this sentence is fucking hilarious.
These people are pathetic. I honestly don't know what their hoping to achieve, and I would very much like for the to stop being so butthurt over the existence of people who arent harming them or anyone in anyway (as a group).
Captcha: carbon footprint. Clearly this machine is promoting a liberal agenda.

So a "family values" organization is upset about the possibility of gay relationships in a Star Wars product. It leaves me wondering if they watched the movies. If the issue doesn't seem apparent, let's review, Luke lives with his aunt and uncle. The empire kills them, leaving Luke's effective parents as charred husks. Luke then meets his sister, who eventually kisses him very passionately. Luke discovers his father is the star wars equivalent of satan and has his arm cut off by said father. At the end, Luke's father sacrifices himself to save Luke (the only family value shown so far) leaving Luke and his sister orphaned. Also, in this process, a whole planet is destroyed, a human being in is frozen in carbonite and Luke's sister is imprisoned and forced to wear a brass bikini as a slave (and it's unclear what the character was forced to endure during that incarceration). Exactly what "family values" are these people naively trying to enforce? I mean, they certainly seem to be missing a lot of big ones.
I've formed a rule: The more positive sounding name an organisation etc. has, the more likely they're complete knobgoblins. "Family" is one of the words in a title that gets me really critical.JakobBloch said:
@RaikuFA - Wasn't Flea transgender or transsexual (I don't know the terminology)? Not that it matters to groups like these.
@tony2077 - I don't see how we're more doomed because this sort of attitude happens towards games. What is sad is that this kind of stuff still keeps happening.
Really? Really. The first people who started flooding the Metacritic reviews were complaining about the homosexual options in Mass Effect 3. One would be forgiven to initially get the impression that that is the problem. For most it isn't, but that doesn't mean the few rotten apples can't be on top of the pile and spoil the image of the rest of them.bringer of illumination said:
The word "family" rarely appears in the name of an organisation without the people in it being dilweeds. You have a problem with people reacting like that? Try to get idiots to stop using the word in their organisations just because they want to be the ones defining other's morals.
Granted, EA hasn't been above causing fake protests before, so they could be trying to get sympathy towards themselves. After all, that was the only previous time I remember when they decided to openly, and officially, ignore the complainers. I could be wrong though.
I think there is nothing wrong with gay.. however, this game DOES rub it in players' face about the galaxy being "gay-okay" when one of your crew member is gay, and there are many cut scenes of him talking about his husband, and few other side walk NPCs that chats about their Lez/Gay relationships... I think this game is a little bit over done with the Gay thing... too much information, I know it's to show the whole open gender thing, but there is too much focus on the gay ones...
Know how I know you aren't paying attention to the Republican primaries?Azex said:
Well, it doesn't matter, because EA and Bioware aren't going to change this.
Don't they realize that its simply an option within the game. And what are they doing letting their kids play a game thats rated Mature?
wait o.0? gay content? in this day and age?

I just have one question.
Where are the letters that no one heard about until now?
Can we see them EA?
Because if not then this is just Damage Control of the highest caliber.
Next you guys will be telling my you actually believe the people behind the Arkh project.

seeing as how the game is already dropping in subscription numbers i highly doubt there will be enough ppl left to care even if it is released.
This is where i would link to that Jimquistion episode about this very same topic. They can just ignore it <.<
You know like how i've ignored buying/playing ME3 or the WoW Clone. Its really simple.
