Marriage Quest finally on the horizon! Yay!

Marriage

Saw the thread title, didn't read a single post, but I'm just popping in to tell OP you were asking for it and you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Asking for what? This?

[IfritReborn]

Not the OP who shot first though.. Someone mentioned same sex and then everyone went crazy with trying to prove one another's argument wrong. Dropping the original point of this topic.

Lock will be soon enough, how sad it is we cannae discuss anything here without infighting and defensiveness.

Really and truly whose fault is that?
Yoshi did absolutely no favors with that "there'll be backlash" comment. He never should have said that as it's not true concerning NA and EUR as 2 other big name AAA MMO's have proven that. Of course the man only looks at WoW and FFXI so of course he wouldn't know

Good chance same-sex isn't going to be implemented even with the protest

Could we also stop pretending that asking for same sex marriage is a "America" or just "Western" thing?

Sixteen countries now have the freedom to marry for same-sex couples nationwide (Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina, Denmark, France, Brazil, Uruguay, and New Zealand - plus Britain), while two others have regional or court-directed provisions enabling same-sex couples to share in the freedom to marry (Mexico and the United States).

hmmm no East Asian countries.

So what? So the hang up is an East Asian thing... seems to me like acceptance is in most hemispheres. So it's not "us" that has a "thing" it's "them".

yes lets already act the victim

there are definitely wrong opinions. cliven bundy's opinion on slavery is wrong. your opinion on marriage is wrong.

opinions can be wrong? what? doesn't that violate the very definition of an opinion? facts can be wrong. opinions can't be wrong. opinions can be generally accepted by society or generally frowned upon by society, but they can't be "wrong." I have nothing to say on the topic of this thread, I just couldn't help myself on this one comment.

Ok, so because some people who have legitimate reasons for being wary act a little annoying that means their stance is wrong? Because that is what is being attacked. It isn't "calm down, you're right" it is "calm down and now I don't want you to have what you want".

The comment quoted was completely nonconstructive and provokes the opposite opinion to counter. Which in fact it did. Its comments like that which lead threads like this to being locked, ever since Beta Phase 1.

Their first comment which I intentionally didn't quote was their legitimate opinion.

My opinion as far as side on the topic didn't even come into play. I have no side on the matter.

I don't know....... maybe the fact that this game was made in East Asia by people with traditions different from the west might has some factor as to why they tread lightly on this subject?

Great for them- they have no problem putting women in skimpy outfits... so they have no problem offending the Middle Eastern sensibility that would have women covered up. Why would an international player base kowtow to provincial and outdated social attitudes? I doubt anyone would tolerate slavery in this game.

It's an international audience, so get with it. If it was a domestic product, then it would make sense.

You are going extremely left field and I'm going to exit this conversation with you.
