Petition to support polygamous marriage (when the system is released).

[Ryel]

Ok, this thread is sickening and I'm honestly disappointed with my fellow gamers here on this one. This thread is nothing but a copy of what the right wing entertainment industry does on their radio shows to get the conservative population whipped into a frenzy. It goes like this, "If you allow gay marriage what next, Polygamy, bestiality, incest, pedophilia?" That makes this whole thread nothing but a troll as there is no reason for this thread other than to get people angry and get their blood pressure up.

Now some of you may be saying that there are real polygamists out there and want to frame this as a equal rights for them debate. Here's the problem, polygamy exists in two predominant groups that I know of, some branches of Islam and some excommunicated Morman sects. (There may be other religions but those are what I know of) In each of these the practice is that one man marries multiple women. This is inherently sexist. It is also very similar to Elliot Rodgers manifesto where he stated a desire to put all women in a camp for breeding purposes. So think very very carefully about what you are defending.

I'm very disappointed with this community on the forums with this thread.

And here we go!

You seem to be forgetting that Polyamory and Polysexuality are something that actually exists. While not all people who are Polyamorous / Polysexual wish to or even feel the need to form permanent lasting relationships with multiple partners (see: marriage) this doesn't mean that others may not wish to.

I find it interesting that now another form of rights and equality that ISN'T practiced world wide and only accepted within a few select groups that may not be your own is now an issue.

Or are you going to suggest that Polyamory / Polysexuality is a choice/preference and not inherent/genetic?

I think what most people who are making jokes/commenting in this thread are trying to point out is that if the argument is going to be made for equal opportunity for everyone then it should be made for everyone, the concept of equal rights is not a buffet plate that you can pick and chose from when you feel it's convenient or only applies to you.

I made clear before that i don't care about this as a game issue either way because well it's a game in the end, however i do find quite a few of the responses in this thread rather illuminating to be honest.
