Same-Sex Marriages

[Dale]

I think in game weddings should allow two player characters of the same sex to marry. I would like to think SE has gotten a little more progressive as a company when they decided to include two lesbians in Final Fantasy XIII and it would certainly garner some attention to finally break these boundaries. After all, MMOs are about the freedom to explore, why does SE want to cockblock me when I want to explore another guy's crotch. It's unfair. It's unjust. It's unconstitutional. There's nothing wrong if two Galkas or two Mithras want to share their love, but this is coming from a company that feels that a Male Goblin and a Female Hume (What a slut btw) getting it on is more socially acceptable.

So I plead to you, SE. Please remove this unnecessary restriction and let the love flow through you.

P.S. Anyone want to marry me?

Go take a cold shower or watch some gay porn. It's not like the internet doesn't have enough places for you to find men interested in sex, so please - spare me the gay discrimination B.S. You are probably the most well represented minority in the history of mankind.

I read the first seven pages of this argument before I became discouraged to read the same silly arguments that people have been proposing for decades, even centuries. These are arguments that modern day academia has poked way too many holes in to stand up anymore. Even when homophobia passed proposition 8, it failed. No same-sex marriage in FFXI IS homophobia. I will accept the argument that it is irrelevant to game play, but this still makes it homophobia. Arguing against sexual orientation rights is like arguing against women's or racial rights a few decades ago. You're going to start feeling really stupid really fast.

...so I guess that means you missed the part where I was explaining just how to perform such ceremonies and obtain all the gear?

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing against it or for it or any which way. I'm just saying that most of the arguments I had seen here were directed at the wrong parties and for the wrong reasons.

Saying you can't have a same-sex marriage in FFXI is just incorrect. Saying you can't get a marriage certificate for a same-sex marriage is correct, and more worth arguing about.

Saying you can't sit on the bus is incorrect. Saying you can sit only in certain parts of the bus is correct.

Like I said, this argument is irrelevant to game play.

How is arguing the difference between same sex marriage or a marriage certificate worth arguing about at all? Do you know many times this argument has been shot down?

How am I broadcasting my sex life? How am I turning this "outlet of public entertainment" into anything it was different before? Straight people have met in game and had relationships, the same with gays in game. Just because we would have equal access to in game opportunities makes you uncomfortable? Who cares about the rest of the internet, to say that we aren't allowed to talk about issues that concern us is absurd. Granted, we haven't gone through quite the same struggles as other minorities (blacks and jews for example) but we have gone through our share of strife. It was only until the second half of the last century (which is only 50 years ago btw) identifying as gay was considered a mental health issue and were often institutionalized in hospitals. The only other option was living a lie and trying to lead a "normal" life and hope every second no one would find out and out you, thus destroying your family, career, credibility, reputation and pretty much anything else. Your internalized homophobia is laughable and I hope you come to terms with whatever you are dealing with and hope you can become tolerant for differences in culture.

Pretty much this.

It's a joke.


Wooooosh.

The internet has a zillion different places for you to get in touch with other men who want their crotch explored. I suggest you use them, instead of whining about how you can't marry your current sex toy on a video game.

Basically what i''m saying to you is there are better places for you to be a hoe at.

Again, not like I'm asking for a lot.

This thread should not have continued beyond these idiotic statements.Try to have a little tact next time.
