Proove same-gender marriage is controversial: Hold A Vote!

who bloody cares, it's a videogame, stop dragging issues into it.

I'm firmly in the camp that the issue should not be addressed at all. What I mean is - shelve the whole marriage thing for about 5 years and then revisit it. The game has vastly improved, but we're still nowhere near the level of polish where they devs can sit back and fluff it up yet and this is just too big and personal a deal for too many people. We don't need ANY kind of marriage in game, and yes I realize that a handful of people who were really looking forward to it and already happen to have the appropriate sexes on their characters to participate might be disappointed, but it IS a super controversial hot topic right now and if SE knew what was good for them (and the game), they'd put it on the back burner and worry about actual game stuff.

Let us fight new dragons, not each other over what pixel gets to marry another pixel.

Having said all that, I think that the title of this thread shouldn't be "Prove it's controversial". It is. What it SHOULD say is "Prove that including it will make the game and company implode." We all know the answer is no (Lionshead, Bioware, Bethesda all have these options and have for years and years), but in the interest of the vocal minority just don't kick this hornet's nest. Just don't do it. We don't need this particular fluff content THAT badly that it's worth the shitstorm of negative press SE will surely get if they build in discrimination.
