It's fine with me, (as long as it's not overly stereotypical...) but like UB said it might hurt sales.
People don't HATE people for being gay, they HATE the stigma associated with gay people in the media.
No, there's a ton of people who just hate people for being gay, and it has nothing to do with the media. *coughChristianscough*
Again, no - normal people hate the stigma associated with the homosexual communities, as do I. It has everything to do with their portrayal in the media. Have you seen their disgusting parades? You don't need a religion to find that appaling.
Christians don't hate gay people for being gay, they just follow the course of their religion and think that the idea of a man sleeping with another man is reprehensible. They do not hate people for being gay - that is an uncontrollable biological feature. Who you sleep with, however, is controllable, and that is the logic by which the church goes.
You know what Tola? You do start fights everywhere on here.
Personally those parades can get weird but do you want to know why such a culture developed? It developed because of the large numbers of people rejected by their own families. That is sad. But gay people started sticking together and helped each other, made their own communities that breeds a new culture because they see themselves as so different. Being gay really isn't all that different but some people get that idea from how others treat them, which sad to say could include disgust from their own mother. Rejection bred a culture that embraced what many reject, which of course seems appalling to many. Heck I think they are really weird a lot of the time.
If you think that the people who reject their own children because they are gay do so for no reason I think most of the time the reason is religion, in this country most of the time meaning Christianity. I am not saying all Christians are no but to say that no Christians just hate gay people you are wrong. Many do, and it saddens me.
I think the real question becomes why would it matter if there was someone who is gay in a video game? I hate the stereotypes but there are gay fashion designers out there. However look at games like the sims or Bully, you can have guys kiss guys in those games, despite not needing to be stereotypically gay.
Being gay is a part of a characters development if they develop it, it adds a new side to them just as a relationship with a woman in the past could.
I don't start fights, nor do I intend to do so. My intentions are to speak my opinion - it is your reaction(s) which cause such outbreaks. Pinning your problem on me will not set it down.
Personally, those parades can get DISGUSTING. Do you want me to PM some pictures, or do you think you're content not seeing it? Those parades didn't develop because of rejection, what are you talking about? When is the last time you saw gays being rejected? Everyone LOVES gay people now - it's totally trendy! It's just a simple matter of fact - if you're gay, and you're in a nude parade, you're probably of radical mindset. "BUT THEY HAD A HARD LIFE!" Don't try to cover their nature by blaming it on their families. I recall them being rejected decades ago, and I never remember these parades! Maybe it was the generational build-up from gay father to gay son! COULD BE!
Being gay is quite different, but it never had to be. It has now taken on its own form of culture, which never should have happened. It's just like how blacks have started their own culture and have became abberant, not only from whites and mexicans and everyone else, but from the original message of their ultimate beacon of hope - Martin Luther King Jr.
Homosexuality has manifested itself in a new form of demographic, which is nobody's fault but the "community" itself. The "community" now expects to have a tailor made to itself, one being parades with lewd images and disgusting fetishes being exploited in the middle of select locations.
You're blaming "rejection"? Hahahaha. Okay. Do you know many gay people? You're arguing that it is nurture that caused this; it is nature. Why do you THINK they have been rejected? Because they don't like women (or men, if it is a woman)? No, it is because they have always been of radical mind. People do not change through time, we only learn more. And yes, they are really weird, because they get away with it. If you pay close attention, the LACK of rejection on much of what the community enjoys doing, but the rest of the world find "objectionable", is what allowed this to become a wild trend. Rejection will build the more someone witnesses it grow uncontrollably. Now, rejecting something as simple as Gay Marriage will land you on a black list.
Again, families rejecting their children because they're gay doesn't resonate in my mind as a very reasonable excuse to have sex in the streets, nor does it sound at all realistic. Now, if "religion" is the reason they are so angry, yet they don't believe in a God at all, why is it reasonable that they act against that which has no meaning, rather than rising above it? It's safe to compare them to children. People of faith are naturally people of faith, and generally reserved. The opposite can be said of many members of the gay community. It is natural that both will dislike one another. What saddens me is that people like you are getting on an emotional stance about homosexuality when they have never had to go through any much more than an occassional insult. The comparison to any civil rights issue is disturbing and naive. I don't see black people going out in the street and having sex in front of people, do you? They have gone through a heck of a lot more than some bunch of people with a different sexuality. GOODNESS, HE'S GAY! I HATE THAT!
It's officially become a trend. The new twang to the voice, the style, the personality. "Oh... my gawd.... I'm such a beautiful betch." And we still have people talking about their hard struggles...
Very realistic. You need to blame it on somebody, but it can't be the gay community!
I love the stereotypes to gay people because it's a direct relation to the way their beloved media friends portray them. Plus, it's not so much a stereotype - Versacci seems pretty gay to you, doesn't he? It's become a trend. It saddens me, but alas, it is true :*(
Being gay is part of a character development? Funny - weren't you JUST arguing that it means nothing if a character is gay? So, it's alright for a character to be gay, and for that to be PART of his "character" but not for people observing the character's character as likable or not? Hahahaha.
Straight Character: Hey dude, let's go grab a beer and skateboard and maybe play sports!
Gay Character: What a betch.. Did you see her frickin butt? It was SO - BIG. I'm such a gorgeous queen... Too bad girls are so gross... Betch...
No - being gay is not a characteristic, it's a sexuality. It's fine if a character is gay in a video game, but please, don't expose it, just like no one exposes Mario's sexuality. I made it clear that I don't want to play video games to find romance, or even worse - fetishes. I'm not liberal enough for that - sorry if that upsets you!
It adds a new side to them - yeah - they like to go into this thing called a bed, or maybe a floor, with someone that ISN'T that other human thing - the lady thing - yeah! VERY MUCH CHARACTER.
If you were to tell a young child some people have a mom and a dad some people only have a mom or a dad and some people have 2 dads or two moms they just accept it. It makes sense to them and they don't normally see any problem with it. Why adults do is beyond me.
Edit: I meant to quote bacon ... whoops
No, if you tell a young child that some people have a mom and a dad, some people a dad or a mom. and some people have 2 dads or two moms they will question it. If they're brain-dead or have the curiosity of a turtle, then sure, they will "accept" it. Children don't "accept" anything. You should know that quite well.
Adults mind it because, they know what influences good family value and what does not. Children do not.
