I'd be pissed that yet another group with its head up its arse is fighting balls to the wall against societal progression, but frankly this is like watching a retarded monkey attack a mirror with a wet fish.
Regardless of your stance, its just too damn tempting to sit back and eat popcorn.

Ya know what I like about the gay romance options in Bioware games? They're not even a big deal. They're hardly mentioned and not treated any differently from the straight romance options. You have to KNOW they're there to even give a shit.
These people should feel ridiculous for making such a fuss about something so inconsequential.

I love how they always claim that gay related media is "corrupting children." How is being gay a corruption?
Yea cuz videogames cause violent outbreaks... And now they cause kids to turn gay! Fucking christians; actually fucking all religious people need to wake the fuck up and realize they are following a dumbass book that was written way too long ago. "oh its ok to believe cus it must be true cus it was written a long time ago" yea i bet if harry potter was written 2000 years ago and was told as a truth; then people would be getting lightning bolts drawn on their heads on Hogwart holiday. Instead of a stupid letter "t" on ash wednesday. Take a step back actually look at what u believe people. We are all just humans. I dont care what sex u are or the color of your skin. We all bleed the same red blood.
"We do cater to one side's viewpoint on this contentious, unsolved issue; we barely tolerate the other side's presence at all, and then only if they keep their views to themselves."
Haha, when I read the title I thought it was about hatemail from angry kids calling EA 'gay' or some shit like that.

I don't wanna get into a big thing here about this, but I do wanna point out that you're being just as judgmental and pushy as the people you're insulting. "Tolerance" includes religious tolerance as well, so you should probably ease up on the rhetoric.

Once again, it's up to Betty Bowers, America's BEST Christian, to explain:

Overzelous idiots like those in the article are a vast minority when it comes to religious people. People like that use religion as an excuse to justify their hate speech and pervert their beliefs in the process.

If only there was someone other than EA we could blame for children being allowed to play games intended for ages 13+/17+ and allegedly being corrupted by them.
Its a sad cold day where I am forced to side with EA ~.~
Curse you EA for occasionally being the lesser of two evils.
I'm still not buying anything you publish.....

Remember everyone: EA is the worst company in the U.S.A.

Wait, so it's Bioware's "gay content" which ruins children? Huh. Go figure. Now I know why so many children grow up to be substance abusers, murderers, thieves, rapists, and politicians.
EA doing something good and making a progressive stance?
I guess there's something good in everyone.

Fair enough, and I assumed as much too which is why I was careful to be respectful in my reply, but he's got to learn about this stuff sometime, especially when it's easy to get the impression that it's cool to be an insulting, judgmental ass to christians on the internet. I'm not one myself, but I do think it's important to be respectful as a general principle. Now, when confronted directly by one of the overzealous whackjobs Derangel is talking about, all bets are off IMO. That's a totally different story. Those people deserve what they get.

I get where you're coming from bro, I really do, but you have to cut the vitriol from your statements.
Well, I guess you don't HAVE to. But it sure would make your being correct look a lot more desirable and less petty.

It is becoming increasingly embarrassing for me to call myself Christian nowadays, but let me tell you this:
I sound neither like the groups sending hate mail or like people like Dusty Smith...

I'm going to make a video game starring jesus where he has extremely interactive gay sex with judas, but leaves him for his gf, so then judas gets all bitchy and hands him over to be crucified.
Just to piss these people off.

Im not hateful. I am tolerant to religious people. I never say those things to their faces. Its just what i have goin on inside my head when i hear about all the crazy things that they do or say. I know not all of them are crazy. But sometimes you just gotta vent.
The whole culture war thing kind of needs to go away and be conceded by conservatives because they're not going to "win" it really makes them seem out of touch from real fucking issues we have like unemployment and economic equality.
You know, like shit that probably affects you in real life.

"I never say those things to their faces."
You just did. There are tons of christians who frequent this site and read the comments. So there goes that.
"But sometimes you just gotta vent."
Get a blog then. We don't want to hear it.

God i hate people like this who use children to get their views across, it's a dirty tactic. the should man the fuck up, there is no law forcing them to play the dam game. to be honest i would be a lot happier if they just kept to themselves. while i agree most of the time people who do this are religious ( sometimes nutjob ) it's their right a an American, it's one of the ammendments i belive. forgive me if i am wrong about im british and i have never been to america.
I am a Christian and I do personally beleive homosexuality is wrong on ever possible level, but this is completely ridiculous. Out of all the things that can "corrupt" children, they want to go after this? Besides, how in the world is Sheppard hooking up with Kaiden, Cortez or anybody else of the same sex corrupting anybody? Nobody is going to be like, "Wow, I see 2 gay video game characters...now I want to be gay!". Homosexuality is real, and these groups would do well to at least accept that. They don't have to accept it as being right, but to hell with them if they refuse to acknowledge it and call it "corruption". I personally thought Cortez was a strong, likable character. I just wouldn't ever invite him to the cabin =o
You know, it was a little hard to notice at first, but maleShep and Kaidan got more buff with each installment. Kind of wish they had stayed slimmer like in ME1. Kaidan doesn't look good with giant pecs.
@tristrix
Sorry, but saying stuff on the internet is not the same as getting up in peoples faces in person. Since when are opinions not allowed in the comments section? Your opinion of my rant is just that; an opinion.

That's cool. You're welcome to spew your dumbshit opinion wherever you like, and I'm free to point out what a dumbshit, intolerant, ignorant waste of space you are for it. I just assumed you'd be interested in NOT being a dumbshit, intolerant, ignorant waste of space but I can see now that isn't the case. So by all means, carry on with your judgmental, hypocritical idiocy. Sorry to interrupt.

....The Right wing groups do know that most of that stuff is in M-rated games, right? Where do the children come from?
Right-wing, yous so crazy.

What? An issue that I side with EA on? The fuck?
I shouldn't be TOO concerned, really. If LGBT had no purchasing power, I doubt that EA would step up to bat for them. But this does allow them to look momentarily righteous for a brief, brief moment.

Well, it's true. I didn't become gay until I played Super Noah's Ark 3D for the SNES. Thanks Wisdom Tree!

Really... Who gives a flying **** what Christian groups say? tell them to get back to reading their book and leave games alone. No one "forces" christians to play games as they try to "force" their shit on us.
@tristrix your respectful nature is admirable. It’s hard to even read things at times when you’re insulted by overgeneralized comments for any reason. I deal with comments like these about a variety of physical issues and I don’t need my beliefs being dragged into this.
That being said these people are a minority. People make their choices and you don’t have to play the game like that if you don’t want to so if you don’t like it don’t play it. It’s a shame to see that it’s always the fools who shout the loudest

I'm a gay guy and can attest to this sort of bull being pulled by "Family Associations" against our equal right and representations all the fugging time. The group is sickeningly real.

"Even if you don't like LGBT content, getting mad over an optional, adult, romantic liaison -- that never has to affect your life -- is disgustingly pathetic."
Oh Jim, you make me wanna (gay) love again!
