Dragon Age: Inquisition had more or less the demographic profile of the modern United States despite being set on a medieval copy of Great Britain and France, and inexplicably had modern atittutes towards transsexuality etc. as well.

Of course, the writers are free to make up a world emotionally appealing to their political views (since I believe indulging in idiosyncracies make fantasy more unique) but don't expect it to be free of criticism, specially if it looks dumb and strains suspension of disbelief.

That's the sort of thing that irks me, when it's absolutely forced and silly.

Dude Dragon Age is a fantasy world, FANTASY.

Does the game having 8 kinds of humanoids apart from humans also irk you?

Strawmanning someone's argument would only serve to lose that argument for you. The moment you try to argue something someone didn't say is the moment you admit that you can't actually refute what they've said.

I disagree. Hetero relationships are the natural norm, because they serve the biological purpose of reproduction, seeing a man and a woman kiss shouldn't offend anybody. However some people might be offended by being forced to watch a lesbian or gay kiss when playing a game, for religious reasons or maybe they're just homophobic (not that I agree with homophobia). 

Homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality. One is just more common than the other.

I don't see why a couple being able to reproduce makes them more socially acceptable. People don't have sex for reproduction 99% of the times they have sex anyway.

And as for people being offended by it because of religious reasons, games already show a lot of killing and blood. If one's not offended by that, I don't see why they should be offended by a kiss.

Do you think developers are pushing an SJW agenda for going against what a prejudiced group wants? There are few ideologies that I know are straight up wrong, and homophobia is one of them. Homophobia is just the modern version of racism.

While homosexuality indeed happens naturally (many agreeing it's even in your DNA), it is by no means the natural state of humans. Nature's intention behind human design is to put that penis into a vagina, pump semen into it, and whip up a baby in about nine months.

 

I personally don't care who is kissing who, as long as the PDA isn't offensively lewd and no one is wiping their nasty face-grime/sweat cocktail all over someone else intentionally, but denying that it's more socially acceptable won't do you any favors in this debate. There are significantly less people out there who are going to be offended by a same sex kids than a gay one, and denying that would really only hurt your argument.

 

Lots of killing and blood in the Bible. Hell, I'd argue that religious text is significantly more brutal than a lot of R-Rated movies.
