I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but I want to be able to turn all the gay, lesbian and transgender stuff off and on in my games. I know it's becoming more accepted in the world we live in, but I play video games to escape reality. I have no problem with people that live that life style, but why must you force it on others that don't. I know I don't have to choose any of the gay choices, but the fact that I see them bothers me. For example, everytime I speak to Liam, there is an option "Im interested in you". I dont want that there. I cant make it go away and i dont like seeing it. Why are they trying so hard to make this LGBT community happy? Why are we treating them diffently? Why must we force their beliefs into my life? I just want an option in the menu to turn these type of things off, just like you can turn blood and gore off or bad language off. You can do what ever you want in your life, leave it out of mine.

Them being represented in a game isn't forcing anything on you.

Easy. Don't do those relationships. Done. Easier still: don't reward a game developer for taking an approach that diminishes entertainment value for you. Not buying a game reduces stress. |

To be honest I thought this was going to be a thread demanding there be an option for violent sex with Drack.

Agreed.
True tolerance also means tolerating conservative and traditional values.
Ryder is meant to be as customizable as possible. My Ryder only has dirty thoughts about females.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have a game option where you can choose your sexuality or just set it to story mode to be as it is currently. Personally I don't need it myself, but in the interests of fairness to those that do not want it, I don't think it would be a bad thing to add.

That wouldn't preclude opening the conversation in game forums, though. |

If you have issues with characters being gay, bisexual or what have you, then just don't buy the game. One would think that a game that represents humanity hundreds of years in the future would be passed the obesession we currently have with sexuality, gender and ethnicity.

getting flack is exactly what OP is hoping for so he can extemporize on his pet peeves.

Eh, how is having gay/transgender/whatever characters in a game forcing anything on you? Just because they're in the game? Unless they're hitting on you or *gasp* you're hitting on them they aren't forcing anything on you

That wouldn't preclude opening the conversation in game forums, though. Disagree. It would if you're not playing the game since it obviously isn't an issue for a non-buyer/participant at that point. Since he is I provided my clearest, most succinct answer; don't do those relationships. |

Unless they're hitting on you or *gasp* you're hitting on them they aren't forcing anything on you The issue is clearly that LGBTQ+ People exist period. And that existence being fairly represented in any form of media, let alone his video game bothers him and makes him uncomfortable. To bad he doesnt seem able to do what we Gays have been doing for years and years, avoiding the straight LI options like crazy. I mean, do you know how hard it was to avoid being forced into a romance with Carth in KOTOR playing a female Revan? arg. Of course, the OP cant imagine what that moment where you see a part of who you are represented in any form of media is like. I think I reloaded and replayed the scene between my Female Character and Silk Fox in Jade Empire at least a half dozen times before I believed what I was seeing was true. |
