Wedding Bells in Eorzea?

[Shipp]

whether or not i agree with same sex marriage, there are plenty of people who do and do not therefore the concept is stupid anyway why would you want to impose such a situation on any other person in a video game? You think your right, the person who doesn't believe in SSM believes their right. Point is, its an unnecessary conflict for a video game. EVERYONE will live without it however many people on one side or the other will be offended if its built in with or without SSM. I personally hate cats and wish i could kill them in game but you don't see me asking for a "Kitten in a Bag" drowning event in the spring because 1. its not important to the game and 2. Soooo many cat lovers would cry and slit their wrists to the dying computer cats.

Wrong, point is whether they believe in it or not in the real world should not affect a video game. It's cool if they don't believe it should happen in real life. That's their opinion. I also urge those people to not play XIV at all since it's a polytheistic game that good <insert religion>s here shouldn't be a part of.

Also, nice analogy. Commenting on my stating that if marriage is opposite sex only that I don't want to see it in the game, and comparing it to you killing virtual kittens. Way to board the special train.

In game marriage is controversial and not important to the game. Everyone should be adult enough to agree to disagree about the same sex marriage situation and leave marriage out of game. Until everyone can agree on one side or one side becomes significantly larger then the other, its not important enough to the game and its story to offend others. All of you MUST HAVERS are selfish for pushing your beliefs onto others. Dont say im selfish because I didnt push for either side, im pushing for middle ground which is leaving a STUPID idea that is so controversial out of the game.

I'm not a "must haver." I said if it's going to be in the game, it needs to be both types of marriages, otherwise it can stay out.

Your position isn't of a "middle" ground. It's of the, "I don't believe in same sex marriage, thus I don't think it should be in a fictional world, so I'll make asinine analogies and call people "must havers" who simply want both or neither." It was never an issue in XI, except for those of us ticked that it was only opposite sex. Times have largely changed now and if SE doesn't want gay marriage in their game, then they shouldn't have any marriage in their game.

How am I possibly a "must haver" when I said I'll never use the feature in the first place?

im surprised this didnt turn into a huge flame war like the last thread about this was.

Not that I care much for the feature, but if it was same sex mariage only? I mean really...This day and age we are still getting huffy over the subject.

bah...

I'm going off-topic again, but this definitely sounds like something Seth MacFarlane would do.

@ Shipp - I never said your name specifically so why do you always think I'm referring to you? oh and to whoever said the game isn't real life so we should accept same sex marriage in game... there is plenty of other things the game needs to survive without worrying about such a lame idea. Allcars is going to marry herself btw. I dont care what you guys do, just dont ruin the important parts of the game please. This will be my last post on this topic. Please, everyone marry each other, oh and when the Someone asks the question to Yoshi on the Live YouTube whatever... please make sure you ask about Polygamy also, I'd like to marry Allcars and her other character as well as many other women, one isn't enough.. It only seems fitting. Can I marry my chocobo too? hes pretty cool and I know he feels the same way about me, Little Midlandabos running around. You know.

Thanks

Quoting me is a pretty good indication you're responding to me. Like I said, you're someone who doesn't want to accept gay marriage in real life, so you take your prejudice over to a video game. This is evident by your strawman arguments and red herrings.

Edit: I don't care if people want to get married to multiple people in a videogame. Nor do I care if they want to marry a chocobo for the lulz. It's a game, it's not real life.

You don't know me, Marriage is something invented by man and is nothing more then a piece of paper so i don't care who does what with it, if 5 people agree to marry each other, why should I care, if two dudes or ladies want to marry each other.. again, it doesn't impact me so i don't care but I'm not surprised by your assumption. People like you make that assumption often.

The point about it being what people want in game and has nothing to do with RL politics is a good one so while your appeasing two sets of people with opposite sex and same sex marriage please also appease the third and add in polygamy, there is no reason me and my entire LS should be discriminated against when we all want to marry each other.

My point still stands though, this is a stupid feature and there are PLENTY of more important things needed before we get into dumb ideas such as this one.

I know i said i wouldn't reply again but Shipp made a pretty strong accusation and assumption and was WRONG.

@ Hiirnoivl - When the time comes that this feature is built in divorce might as well be built in also, people quit or grow to dislike each other, why wouldn't you want to remarry? Why should people who like to divorce be discriminated against in a game? Maybe after I marry my entire LS I will want to divorce them a day later.
