| JPL78 said: I'm not fond of the censorship of board posts and threads. That said I'm glad they are keeping that aspect out of the game. MMOs are already gay enough seeing as MOST of the female characters you see are dudes playing them and then other dudes hitting on them. If you want to be gay in the old republic then you could still PM it up with your same sexed lover. I'm just glad I won't have to watch two half naked Jedi dudes making out when I go to the auction. That's really the diff with MMOs and other games. You can be gay in the Sims and Mass Effect, no problem, because you choose to be gay and then watch the results. In an MMO if you choose to be gay you could potentially subject every other player to your choice, even if they are offended by it. Really, I have no problem with gay people enjoying their chosen lifestyle but I just have a problem with this thought that gayness must be injected into every single aspect of media until it is saturated everywhere. Remember a majority of people in this world are not gay so why shove it down their throats? |
You know, were I more freudian I'd smirk at your insecurity about having stuff "shoved down your throat" and "gayness injections" in this context :)
But seriously: gay people are just asking for fair treatment. Groping and making out in a bus can be considered inappropriate behaviour, but that should not depend on the gender of the groper and gropee.
On the other hand, by being visible to you in a behaviour that is considered perfectly normal for eterosexual couples, they are not subjecting you to anything. Actually if you or I find that view upsetting that should be considered our problem, and we should work on ourselves to get over it.
Living their life in public and being subject to the same rules as everybody else is hardly a prevarication on the majority.
