Snip. I delete bullshit like this on my way to real errors.
Hello, Zeel Mark II.

Why are gays and lesbians supposed to be treated differently? Is it because girl on girl is hot? Or because it's not rape if it's the woman who is the aggressor? This is a very close-minded view on the matter, which is hurtful and condescending to the victims of exactly this. It is a real issue that people need to be aware of and you "just not seeing it" is one of the problems.

I didn't see a single study that "confirms" gay men as being more likely to be also paedophiles. I have no idea where you get this statistic from, but most definitely not from any real science. Provide the necessary documentation for this claim, otherwise this is just a nasty rumor.

Also, sexual orientation is absolutely NO basis for handing out sex offender tags, which you are trying to suggest.

[The] reality is that gay men ARE more likely to attack children than just about any other group.
You go ahead and provide peer reviewed research that proves that. I'll wait.

While I'm waiting (I'll be doing so permanently) I'll remind you that the parents of children are the most likely to abuse them. Yes, the heterosexual couple that had sex and created the child. Look it up while you're doing the research mentioned above.

I look forward to your apology or excuses and rhetoric.

On a related note the FBI did change the definition of rape to include men.

Funny it took till 2012 for that to happen.

I had fun trying to keep a straight face through the main body of that. Didn't quite make it.

Holy shit, I don't even know where to begin.
I'm just gonna write a few points and then weep for the world a bit.
Pedophilia and homosexuality is NOT the same thing! I'm not gonna claim to be an expert but for pedophiles, the sex of the child is often irrelevant, but as you say, boys are braver, and therefore and easeier target. This does not mean pedophiles are gay.
I'm not even gonna try and debunk your "numbers" here but I'll just say that sexual deviances is more frequent in an evniorment where you're not accepeted as you are, so IF (big if) there's any truth to yuour numbers, it's more than likely the fault of people like you.
Equating homosexualtiy woth pedophilia is fucking disgusting, of course you'll hate gays if you thing that they are the same as pedos, but they're not.
You talk of wanting to cure the gay? News flash, they don't want to be cured and you have no fucking right to inflict your worldview on them (thank god)
And as for wanting to track Gays, holy shit you do realise what you are saying? Ever heard of innocent untill proven guilty? And as for why annyone not a pedo would be upset if they were forbidden to enter a school? How about them beng upset for being singled out and treated as jews in WWII Germany. I normaly try and avoid Goodwin but you speak of making gay's having to be marked as fucking cattle
I realise your problems are too deep to be swayed by a furious guy on a forum, but serIously, get perspective. Go get some facts, a bit of perspective.
People like you make me physically ill, and I try and maintain a civil,tone, but you are talking about some of my friends and family here so it's a bit close to home.
I'll make this one response to this message which pretty much covers the response to all of the similar responses.

Simply put I'm not going to fight this out again, this is a liberal enviroment, I know it, and I'm not going to accomplish anything with such close minded people. I stated that before I said anything and still received insistances I write a response. I should know better than to think people have grown up.

I'll be brutally honest here, your putting words into my mouth as is pretty much everyone responding. One point that seems to be missed is that I never said gay and pedophille are the same, merely that there is a far greater tendency. That's not really a disputable fact either with groups like NAMBLA shouting it from the rooftops, as they insist on rights for pedophilles. That crap you've seen on these forums with people asking the question "do Pedos have the right to exist?" to bring up survivial and then build it into a right to practice over time like other minority groups? That's from NAMBLA's playbook even if it doesn't always go back to them.

What's more I speak from actual experience, as in "I've seen this with my own eyes" and professional training. A lot of people don't want to believe that, or because they happen to be gay and not a pedophille insist it can't be true. I get why, but that just makes you ignorant even if well intentioned. What's more with certain crimes the people who practice them do not generally come out and say so, things like NAMBLA are fairly unusual. Your typical Pedo doesn't look like the movie stereotype, he's basically the ordinary looking, "acceptable" gay dude, and almost guaranteed he says all the right things about hating pedos, and supports the community in exactly the right and acceptable ways. This is why saying it's not true, and producing statistics gather with that specific intent is meaningless.

This is incidently one of the reasons why I have so little respect for liberals on so many levels. The hearts might be in the right place, but common sense does not nessicarly enter into the equasion, and when the people who know, and have actually done things pretty much lay down the way it is, they still insist on being worldly and railing about how it can't possible be true.

Saying people like me are small minded, and "OMG I can't believe people like you exist" actually hurts your cause, because really we're probably the best case scenario. See, reality is about a middle ground, you have two poles to issues. On the gay issue you have the whole pro-gay "gays are wonderful and should be involved in everything, and entitled to all this special treatment and repairations" side on one extreme end, then you have on the other extreme end the people who want to literally make being gay a crime and an immdediate death sentence. I was just reading an article about how Uganda wants to make homosexuality a death penelty offense, and there is enough of a following for the bill to be heard.

Oh wait here is a link

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57372796/uganda-anti-gay-death-penalty-bill-reintroduced/


I'm right in the middle. I accept that the extreme anti-gay side is right, there are a lot of problems with homosexuals, albiet they aren't as bad as they let on. I've looked into it and made major concessions such as seperating gays and lesbians as seperate issues, and how not all gay men are pedos, not even the majority, but a humane method of control without removing their basic humanity needs to be found until other solutions present themselves.

In response to the guy who talked about suicide, and what I presented being a death penelty offense and such... no, that's not the case at all. You'll notice I mentioned under my theory registration without tracking. The idea being that your neighbors are not going to be informed "so and so is gay" only specific authorities. What's more they are only prevented in going to a very limited number of areas, and again unless they go to one of those places, there isn't going to be any kind of issue. If you just want to do it with adults and mind your own business it's no big deal. Opposing that is almost admitting you have a creepy desire to be around kids. What's more if you don't care about people knowing your gay, WTF
do you care if the authorities are informed?

See, I'm the counterpoint to the ignorant people on both sides, who neither side wants to embrace. The actual hardcore anti-gsy person, considers me a freak who wants to protect and coddle homosexual aberrants as I'm acknowleging their fundemental humanity and right to exist because you can't exterminate them for being differant, or because of certain tendencies that aren't even nessicarly present in the majority. To the gay rights movement and liberal supporters I'm hated because I don't think homosexuality should be plastered into every aspect of society, and that all the negatives should be presented as lies and ignored or covered up for the greater good.

What's more, like it or not, mine is the most peaceful solution. See in the long run a success by either side leads to a lot of violence. Gays ever get into society to the extent they want in such a permanant fashion, the hardcore anti-gay movement... and it's as huge as the liberals are, are going to declare the system to have failed and take matters into their own hands. Enter pogroms of genocide and large scale organized violence. You might think the current stuff is a big deal, it's nothing. If the anti-gay movement wins, well look at what Uganda wants. In a country like the US, my position is one that neither side will be happy with, but both could ultimatly live with.

Also for the record, you are correct that for someone who is a sexual deviant, it's normal and natural for them. Someone who is gay and reacts chemically to their own gender does not want to be cured and sees nothing wrong with it, just as those who are into things like scat don't. Those gays who aren't attracted to children likewise can't understand the compulsion much like someone who isn't wired for a specific orientation can't understand it. This is one of the reasons why I mention an eventual "cure" would likely not take place in the form of gays being run down and jabbed with needles or locked in hospitals, but rather corrected as a part of general medical science. Basically a developing baby who would be born with abnormalities in it's chemical system causing it to be attracted to it's own gender, would simply have them set to the normal path and thus be born heterosexual. Gays wouldn't be hunted down, there simply wouldn't be any more of them born, largely dealing with the problem.... again you kind of jumped onto your rhetoric and didn't read what I actually said.

Now I understand you and others won't like this, but I'll say it flat out there is no point in argueing with me. Both sides here (mine and yours) are pretty much set. This is why I mostly keep my conversations to gaming even when it touches on stuff like this. I'm not going to respond and argue, already been there a few times on these forums. Likewise I already know you think I'm a reprehensible human being (ditto for most everyone else who already responding) so I really don't need you to actually say, or re-state it.

In the long run though I do think you'll be happy for the middle ground, even if you don't see it now. Overall I'd save most of your energy for the crap happening in places like Uganda where both you and people like me generally agree. That's your actual enemy and the kind of outlook you need to worry about.

Honestly, you're backing up your argument with THAT?
Oh man... I'd laugh but it's so sad, really.

Incidentally, still waiting on the source of your claim that gay men are far more likely to molest children than anyone else. But it looks like it'll be a long wait.

I am not particulary trilled by a gay shepard, my problem is that it feels like retconning. I also don't like the video, between EA's buisness practices and the whole Hepler's issue, gay shep feels like the less important of ME3 you can talk.

That said, if you are going to have a "romance" option on a videogame and it includes woman-man, woman-alien woman, man-woman; it's only natural to have man-man, it has nothing to do with left or right wings or with entitlement, with your players being gay or straight (I like pussy, not even going to say women, because at this point in life I am just looking for their body without any commitment due me sucking hard when i try to commit; but as an ex-tabletop RPG veteran i have played both girls and guys with every sexual orientation quite well, or at least thats what the other players tell me). It has nothing to do with being entitled, lesbians are even less common than gays and you didn't saw this for the fem shep on hot pice of blue ass action, it just makes it has more choices and be more free, maybe deeper for some RPG plots, to have a gay shep.

As for being liberal... that might be, but not because liberals are soo interested in what their male voters do with their asses, instead it has more to do with republicans being interested in such subjects; liberals don't run on "you have the right of inserting a dick up your ass", it's republicans that run on the "gays are evelspaws trying to destroy our lifestyle" forcing liberals to take a stand on that (and surprisingly the normaly pussy liberals grow the balls to take a stand there).

As for the 0.1% gays, shrug, as a teen always thought the 30% gay pop that gays say was way over the top, that it was 1% was more the right number. Then went to study math, and there, among my math friends 23% is gay so... no wonder math keeps it's population low! lolz.

Summarizing, I agree with you, but not with your reasons, actually think they are wrong :p

Edit: Also OMFG! As a non english speaker nor gay dude, the use of the sustantives in such ways!!!! Silky.... WTF... my ears -.-''
Didn't liked it, but good work Jim.
*Snip*

As far as Mass Effect goes, what you are talking about IS entitlement though. See if your saying that they have all of these othr sexual behaviors (hetero, alien, lesbian) they need to have gay men too, that's entitlement by definition... when you say they HAVE or NEED to be represented. What's more, by that logic your argueing that every sexual deviation NEEDS to be covered if any are going to be. In this case "deviation" is anything other than the norm, which is homosexuality of either flavor. See, to a gay man what he is, is normal, but the same can be said of someone into say scat, extreme bondage, or a furry or whatever. Saying that the gay man should be able to find appropriate content that stimulates him is like saying that there should be an option to have Kelly ride Shepard around his quarters with a riding crop for those submissives out there who can't get it off any other way, or scat play as an option added into the romantic dialogues, or getting Miranda to enter the bedroom in a Girrafe themed fursuit, or whatever.... it never ends, which is why a minority should never be considered entitled to anything, if the writers put something there so be it, if not then just let it go, leave it to them, not political demands.

*Snip*
This is the fundamental flaw with your argument, you presume that homosexuals want these gay romances in place for their sexual stimulation. This is patently ridiculous; has anyone ever jerked off to a Mass Effect sex scene other than for the slightly ironic joy of seeing if they could? That's what separates this from the examples of fetishes which keep getting thrown about; this is a change that is designed to make a relationship for more relatable for a certain portion of the audience and an interesting alternative storyline for others. Including someone's sexual fetishes as an option may make it marginally easier to relate to the story, but not compared to the far larger difference that genders make which is why homosexuality is worth the trouble but individual fetishes aren't (having said that I would have no problem with some company sitting down and making the experience really customisable). If, on the other hand, you don't agree that the genders of those involved in a relationship have any bearing on your ability to relate to it, then it logically follows that you don't care at all about the orientation of these in-game relations... When you clearly do.

Also in your last point you still haven't answered the more important points; that no young children exhibit masculine qualities that would make them attractive to homosexual men so the choice of gender is moot (see also prison rape), that you have yet to provide anything more than anecdotal evidence, and that even if all your claims are true you have merely demonstrated correlation, not causation.

Some further arguments I have a problem with:

1) It's a retcon
Only under the logic that male Shepard might have had sex with a woman at some point and is therefore completely straight. The presence or absence of sexually available members of the group you are attracted does not change your sexuality. Heck, me might just be bisexual. Can that be ruled out? No.

Secondly, it's entirely possible for FemShep to be a lesbian when she is to all intents and purposes a mirror image of MaleShep. And even putting Kelly aside, don't give me that "Asari are genderless" crap. By that logic if Asari reproduction instead functioned by taking a DNA sample by inserting a phallic member into whatever orifice is available (which I feel like mentioning because it actually sounds far more plausible) then you'd happily have MaleShep either bent over or on his knees and taking it like a champ if Liara tempted you at all.

2) It's a waste of resources
No more so than any other romance path, dialogue tree, side missions or any kind of content at all. If we're going to go down that path then we're going to have re-evaluate the worth of everything put into the game and only save what we decree is worth most... Which is impossible to ultimately decide anyway.

Alright, I guess I'll write another one.

Actually read what I wrote for a change, and the reason for posting that and what it was reinforcing. Actually your pretty sad if you think that's a rebuttal, not that I'm argueing any further. Your sort of like the guy whose best response was to start demanding peer reviewed sources which is laugh worthy on any big issue which wouldn't be an issue in that case.

See that's why I don't bother, we've been down this before. People don't read what I actually say because they aren't really interested in the issue. Try to ignore you know... real experience and training, beat up some straw men that have nothing to do with what I actually said, put words into my mouth, and all of that... when really it basically amounts to "noes! I can't accept that because I want to believe something differant".

I doubt even one person here argueing with me has even ever called one of NAMBLA's websites to do even the most cursory research into the accusations of the other side. What's more it's pretty sad when your basically trying to argue with a guy who has actually been there first hand and arguably could be considered an authority (if a minor one) because of it. I'm pretty much the guy your guy doing a paper for peer review would go to for information having been there and cite as a source for his research since another academic with the time could probably verify my employment, the fact that I had training, etc. I can't say a casino would ever release reports, but there are those on file in a storeroom somewhere too providing mountains of documentation about the crud that's happened with just the security department in one casino.

At any rate that's pretty much why I back away, there is no point to putting the effort into it. I think I'll probably delete the rest of the responses I get in this thread because they are going to be predictable and move onto something gaming related.

Things DO recur in these forums, so if you do come up with something other than the usual, you know not sitting there and saying that my facts must be flawed because they don't match what you want to believe, and other things, you'll probably have a chance for me to read it then.

I should have known better than to ever take this request again.

More bullshit claims.
So, you're an authority? Have you been touched by a grown-up as a child, that you claim to be the appropriate source of citations in a science paper on paedophiles?
Well, in my line of work (I'm a psychologist. Meaning, someone who actually writes these kinds of papers), I saw all kinds of perverts and I can tell you, statistically, no sexual orientation is more or less prone to being sexual deviants. Some my be louder about it, however.
Look, if this is your attempt at a soapbox speech on paedophilia, it's the wrong place and wrong topic.
Noone's questioning those sick fucks from NAMBLA, in case you didn't notice. And I'll tell you why. Because they're sick fucks and all of them need to get vanned. Everyone knows that. Noone's defending them.

And on that note, I'm done. I have no patience nor time to go into debates with narrow-minded demagogues like yourself. Good day, sir.

Realizing I'm cutting your whole rant just to bash on this one staement but I have to. This is a BS argument for several reasons.
1. A lot of people will START at ME3, and a game should, while taking it's legacy in account, try and be a stand alone work. Anyone starting at 3 have no history to "betray" by playing GayShep
2. You can play ME1 and 2 with the intention of being GayShep, but not finding a suitable partner.
RPG options 4 the win.
3. People come out as gay in every period of their lives. He could have been in the closet or just bi-sexual untill now. Again, roleplay.
4 I can play as the SAME Sheppard but with different faces and different personality in all three games. They let me fuck up my own history if I want to, why on earth would that freedome not be extended to sexuality.
5 it's a friggin OPTION! If it messes with YOUR Sheppard, he can be as straight as you want to. I wanna give it to Garrus up the arse, why would you care if I do that?
Well if we accomodatd your Shepard then what about the people that want to be able to bugger livestock with their Shepard? Are they not as important as the gay crowd? What about the people out there that want a pedo Shepard? Do we accommodate them too and maybe throw a couple little boys on the ship? These are all just options after all.
One: Gays are a fairly significant percentage of the population. Two: Those things you mentioned are ILLEGAL.
Hey those are just options. They wouldn't affect your Shepard. You dont like em don't use em. As for being illega, well we illegal things in games all the time so I fail to see how that's relevant. What you and those like you are really saying though isn't let's be open minded and accommodate all sorts of different people but rather simply just to accommodate you and those like you while everyone else can piss off.
Homosexuality is not the same as pedophilia and bestiality due to their non-consensual nature. Your point is moot. Morally it's similar to the reason we can't officially kill children or torture animals in games.
In a game they are exactly the same. Just ones and zeros. In reality there may be but in a game all that changes is the pixels. Again, why does one minority group deserve special treatment over any other. I say accommodate em all.

No they aren't, otherwise there wouldn't be rules about putting such things in games. It isn't illegal to show homosexuality.
Thete are no such rules in place. In the US that'd all be covered by freedom of expression.

What gets me is the same people who celebrated getting a gay Shepard are showing just how hypocritical they are. You wanted the line pushed forward and attacked those that wanted to keep it where it was. Now that you got what you want you are all for denying people the same thing. Why is it that you get say on what should or shouldn't be put in the game when you've already forced your options on others.
Because homosexuality is completely different from those other things, as I have said before, so it isn't hypocritical.

You don't have a point because you are trying to say something that is completely different is the same.

You honestly think that pedophilia is the same as homosexuality? Really? Have you absolutely no clue about what pedophilia is at all?

You might have a point if we were all sitting here defending 'Rapelay' but since we aren't your argument doesn't hold weight.

Not really related to the forum drama, but I just wanted to say thank you for posting that video. I don't know if it's just his accent, but the way he describes all that had me in in literal tears of laughter. Terrible to say because he's serious, but still... da poo poo!!!

Anyway... my my Mr. Sterling, you're giving me a case of the vapours. I just can't stop thinking about Wrex's quad now... and I used to be such a Tali fan.

You are aware rules and laws are constantly changing and altering to the current norm and that just because RIGHT NOW there is a rule about it =/= it is necessarily "right"?

there were once laws saying people could be enslaved
there were once rules saying women weren't people
etc. etc.
and they all changed

Not that I want that stuff in game myself, I am just pointing that out.
If you think that one day child rape will be acceptable then I really don't know what to say to you.

I really don't...

Again, anecdotal evidence does not prove the existence of wider trends. One of my female friends once complained to me that each of the four men she had slept with suffered from a sexual dysfunction. Does that prove that we are experiencing an epidemic of sexual dysfunction? Of course it does not, don't be foolish.

Whatever the typical pedophile looks like or acts like is irrelevant. The question here is whether or not gay men are more likely to be pedophiles than straight men.

You seem to be asserting that there is a conspiracy to suppress all scientific studies and statistics that show a link between homosexuality and pedophilia. Even for a conspiracy theory this is patently ludicrous. Consider that even the fairly fringe intelligent design crowd has been able to at least produce a few papers and as you correctly say there are very large groups of people who detest homosexuals. By the way, your claim is nothing new. Back in the 50s homosexuality and pedophilia were seen as intrinsically related:

Were not studies done in the 50s when your idea was so popular? Surely these studies from before this time of apparently dominant liberalism would show the truth of your claims.

Sir, I am primarily a skeptic which means that I need more than anecdotes to convince me. I consider myself to be an open-minded individual and I promise that if you provide sufficient evidence I will agree with you.

See, reality is about a middle ground, you have two poles to issues. On the gay issue you have the whole pro-gay "gays are wonderful and should be involved in everything, and entitled to all this special treatment and repairations" side on one extreme end, then you have on the other extreme end the people who want to literally make being gay a crime and an immdediate death sentence. I was just reading an article about how Uganda wants to make homosexuality a death penelty offense, and there is enough of a following for the bill to be heard.

Oh wait here is a link

Currently, I feel that gays should be treated exactly the same as heterosexuals. Convince that I'm wrong. I dare you.

In response to the guy who talked about suicide, and what I presented being a death penelty offense and such... no, that's not the case at all. You'll notice I mentioned under my theory registration without tracking. The idea being that your neighbors are not going to be informed "so and so is gay" only specific authorities. What's more they are only prevented in going to a very limited number of areas, and again unless they go to one of those places, there isn't going to be any kind of issue. If you just want to do it with adults and mind your own business it's no big deal. Opposing that is almost admitting you have a creepy desire to be around kids. What's more if you don't care about people knowing your gay, WTF
do you care if the authorities are informed?
Well, it's a privacy issue. I believe that the government has no business in the bedroom of consenting adults. For a conservative you certainly like to advocate very big government.

About this discrimination thing. How would you tell who was gay. Would you station cops outside schools carding every adult who enters? You do realize that this would prevent gay people from becoming teachers or working at quite a number of places. What constitutes a place with children? Would you ban gay men from going to McDonalds because of the playpen? Why do you believe that officially designating gay men as second-class citizens would not lead to social oppression in the adult world as well?

See, I'm the counterpoint to the ignorant people on both sides, who neither side wants to embrace. The actual hardcore anti-gsy person, considers me a freak who wants to protect and coddle homosexual aberrants as I'm acknowleging their fundemental humanity and right to exist because you can't exterminate them for being differant, or because of certain tendencies that aren't even nessicarly present in the majority. To the gay rights movement and liberal supporters I'm hated because I don't think homosexuality should be plastered into every aspect of society, and that all the negatives should be presented as lies and ignored or covered up for the greater good.
Gay men have zero darwinian fitness and have much less available sexual partners than straight men. There, those are some negatives albeit minor ones.

By saying that you hate the Gay Rights movement you are implying that gays should not have the right to marry each other. If this is correct then why do you believe this? Even if gays are more likely to be pedophiles, what harm does gay marriage between consenting adults cause?

What's more, like it or not, mine is the most peaceful solution. See in the long run a success by either side leads to a lot of violence. Gays ever get into society to the extent they want in such a permanant fashion, the hardcore anti-gay movement... and it's as huge as the liberals are, are going to declare the system to have failed and take matters into their own hands. Enter pogroms of genocide and large scale organized violence. You might think the current stuff is a big deal, it's nothing. If the anti-gay movement wins, well look at what Uganda wants. In a country like the US, my position is one that neither side will be happy with, but both could ultimatly live with.
So, society accepting gays will cause society to kill all gays? What?

Therumancer said:
Also for the record, you are correct that for someone who is a sexual deviant, it's normal and natural for them. Someone who is gay and reacts chemically to their own gender does not want to be cured and sees nothing wrong with it, just as those who are into things like scat don't. Those gays who aren't attracted to children likewise can't understand the compulsion much like someone who isn't wired for a specific orientation can't understand it. This is one of the reasons why I mention an eventual "cure" would likely not take place in the form of gays being run down and jabbed with needles or locked in hospitals, but rather corrected as a part of general medical science. Basically a developing baby who would be born with abnormalities in it's chemical system causing it to be attracted to it's own gender, would simply have them set to the normal path and thus be born heterosexual. Gays wouldn't be hunted down, there simply wouldn't be any more of them born, largely dealing with the problem.... again you kind of jumped onto your rhetoric and didn't read what I actually said.
Ah, eugenics. Well then, what happens if a couple does not want this procedure to be performed? If medical science does advance to this point then why do you advocate eliminating homosexuality when such advanced technology could merely eliminate pedophilia? You have said that the only qualm you have with gays is that you think they are quite likely to be pedophiles.

Now I understand you and others won't like this, but I'll say it flat out there is no point in argueing with me. Both sides here (mine and yours) are pretty much set. This is why I mostly keep my conversations to gaming even when it touches on stuff like this. I'm not going to respond and argue, already been there a few times on these forums. Likewise I already know you think I'm a reprehensible human being (ditto for most everyone else who already responding) so I really don't need you to actually say, or re-state it.
Hold on, first you accuse liberals of being close-minded and now you say that you're set in your opinion. Methinks being set in your opinion and unwilling to discuss it is the definition of close-mindedness.

By the way, how do you manage to be so very verbose?
