    Enough! Stop pulling on Yoshida's arm all the time.
    You're acting like kids who absolutelly want their candy.
    Well actually... serious OP or not there is a point to be made about the concept of marriage equality that the once vocal supporters are now mysteriously silent about.

    The irony being pointed out is that after one group received what they considered "equality" they turned very quickly on the idea of a another group in a similar situation.

    The idea that those who are Polyamorous / Polysexual are now ridiculous or asking for too much is quite shocking considering the number of threads and complaints that went up for months about the same sex issue. In fact this very thread joke or not was something that people were repeatedly warning others about when the issue first came up, that the game should not be a platform for political issues concerning equality especially if you aren't willing to take it all the way (haha yes i know).

    To those who will propose the slippery slope argument that Pedophilia, Bestiality, etc etc are byproducts of this line of thinking i hope you are aware of the very clear distinction between relationships formed by sexual orientation and relationships formed by consent and understanding.

    The issues of Pedophilia and Bestiality arise based on the fact that in those types of relationships only one of the partners has the mental facilities to actually consent to said relationship, it's why the age of consent laws actually vary from area to area:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of..._North_America.

    You can see how this is massively different than a relationship formed by multiple consenting adults of legal age.

    If anything the lesson to take away from this is to be very careful when asking for something to be added to the game while waving the banner of "Equal Rights For All!" without understanding what that truly entails.

    I should make it clear that while i dont paticularly care about in game marriage i respect Yoshida's decision to add same sex partnerships to the game via the eternal bonding system and give credit to the entire FFXIV staff and Square-Enix for handling this charged topic quite gracefully, unfortunately the same cannot quite be said about the community.
