Attitudes like that only manage to set back whatever cause you think you're championing. You can't force a person to think or feel a certain way, and trying will get you a lot of bad will at best, and cause a violent backlash at worst.

The correct way to 'change a society's mind' is slowly, over time. It's the nature of culture that each younger generation becomes more open-minded than the last. In our grandparents' generation, even SPEAKING about homosexuality was just Not Done, let alone considering that same-sex marriage might one day be made legal. By the time our grandchildren are our age, they'll find it hard to believe anyone made a big deal over it.


Of course, I do want same-sex marriage included in the game, but the way to get it is to be polite but persistent; FFXIV's team is remarkably receptive to the opinions and requests of the community.
