"Family Values" Groups Launch Email Campaign Against BioWare

[dragongit]

So murder, slavory, drug trafficing, all out war and general death are family friendly, but once we even utter the word "homosexual" thats when it becomes the devils work. Nice double standards you got there "Family Values" groups.

 

[gigastar]

Not even going to comment on the claims themselves. Everyone else has done that already.

But Bioware would lose all of my respect if they bowed down to theese demands.

A virtually identical letter is ready to go a the American Decency Association...

And i found a typo. Which is a bonus.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Right, I'll just let them continue with their delusions of grandeur.

EDIT.
Also, is the captcha screwing up for anyone else? I'm lucky this post got through without one, but they aren't appearing anywhere else for me.

Hey look. Stupid idiots being stupid idiots.
Part of me hopes Bioware will just put in really fucking hardcore gay sex as part of every class' story, just for kicks.

 

[Blunderboy]

Good thing that it's a game rated for 16+ then eh and that kids shouldn't be playing it in the first place.

Boom!
Lawyered!

The main character murders his wife and mutilates his son, but not before said son makes out with his sister. Yes, Star Wars has always been about "family values."

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

These fucking conservatives are really getting on my nerves now. Luckily the world moves on without them.

Hey, we're not ALL bad. Just mostly.

"American families grew up with the Star Wars film series that was family fare. The films contained no profanity, no nudity and no sexual situations,"

If you say so [http://www.beertripper.com/OffTopic/star_wars/ot_Princess_Leia_Organa_Carrie_Fisher_Bikini.html].

I'd love to hear a comeback from them regarding the above.

She's not making out with a chick. So it's OK.

...

That's the best I've got, sorry.

Anyways: Bioware will ignore this.

Hey look. Stupid idiots being stupid idiots.
Part of me hopes Bioware will just put in really fucking hardcore gay sex as part of every class' story, just for kicks.

I can just imagine that

"Ohhh, is that a Lightsaber in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
"The force and I are both strong in you"
"Once you go to the dark side, you never go back"
"That's no moon..."

Modsbannit, are we REALLY having this discussion?!

It's the year 2012. WHY is acceptance of homosexuality STILL a problem?!

I'm sorry, but these groups are just plain wrong here. Oh, and their kids shouldn't be playing a T rated game if they're not 13 yet. Not that that ever stops every whiney kid with a mic picking up M-Rated-Multiplayer-game-du-jour, let alone an MMO. >_<

What's next? Complainrs about the non-gendered NPCs in minecraft reproducing?

 

[VonKlaw]

*looks at box and sees the PEGI 16 rating*

Why are these guys sending e-mails when they can't read?

 

[repeating integers]

These people...

Wait, no. I've decided not to waste any more words on idiots.

Another day, another group of Leviticus Belt residents decide that "family values" means something other than what it actually does.

Spoiler: Explanation of joke

There's an awful lot of stuff in the Bible, but most of the stuff on crime and punishment is concentrated in Leviticus. (For homosexuality, see 18:22.)

Of course, it's also particularly amusing because homosexuality is nestled in between gems about shellfish and mixed cloth, which are disregarded. Also:

Apperently Luke and Leia kissing is not concidered an offence to "family values" . Figures, that's nothing but family.

Leviticus covers that, too.

She's not making out with a chick. So it's OK.

Yeah. And so what if she's supposed to be Jabba's love slave. Women are supposed to be submissive anyway.

It pretty much blew their credibility in my eyes when they said that what Bioware is doing is 'propaganda' and that 'Star Wars videogames are for children.' Both statements are complete BS and show that they have no idea what they're talking about. Star Wars isn't just for kids. In fact, I'd argue it's more for adults then kids. But I haven't seen them, so I can't really comment.

 

[evilneko]

In other news, homophobes don't like it when media so much as hints at homosexuality existing.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

That makes me want to buy the game and subscribe for a year simply to make a character whose sole purpose in life is blowing other dudes so I can send the videos to these good christian people.

 

[Sacman]

Oh so same sex marriage isn't okay but incest is?


...<.<

"...Star Wars videogames are for children..."

yeah... im just going to ask those people to leave..... you dont know what the f you talking about - the only kind of sentence leaving your mouth should be the one with the question mark.

kids shouldnt watch star wars. you know, chopping off limbs is a bigger deal breaker to me than homosexuality when it comes to children, but to each his own i guess.....

you know, if you are afraid your kid might catch "the gay", dont let him playy the game. its that simple. besides, ive seen scarier sh!t at school than i did in any video games (you know, seeing as, watch it - it is a shocker, GAMES ARE NOT REAL! and neither is santa claus!) so wth....

oh well, you cant reason with a bag of rusty hammers, so why bother..... guess it improves my post count and therefore enlarges my e peen..... but it feels like cheap tactic.... i think i should end my post like two sentences ago.... sigh....
