[rina_inverse]

You know what with all this bigotry?
Because people tend to bring their life into the game!
And the game has already have many drama even without this issue!
And I dont want that to happen in my game

but I'm avoiding drama

I'm not a scientist.

I am not an engineer.

I am not very good at math.

I am not a doctor of any sort.

I can't assign psychological disorders.

I can't lead a country.

I might be completely stupid but I'm pretty sure the number 1 way to avoid drama is to avoid these topics/forums altogether. That is how you avoid drama. Not post your opinions in them.

I also wanted to say that the best ways to avoid drama is to, for one, don't cause it, and to step back and think if it is really something worth causing or joining in the drama over. The people that are against same-sex marriage are a very very small minority now. If a full out war were to break out between those for same sex (FSS), and those against same sex (ASS) FSS would crush the ASS's.

I would like my acronym for those against same sex to be adopted into society.

Same sex marriage does not bring any drama in the game. There are already gay players and gay characters and straight players playing together with their straight SO who happens to play a character of the same gender. Having same sex marriage in game doesn't make anyone gay nor does it force anyone into being gay in game. It also doesn't affect any straight person playing this game in any way (other than them being able to marry their SOs in game even when their character is the same gender they are).

The only reason anyone would have any problem at all with this would be them being homophobes, and that's just something they'll have to deal with on a personal level.

Edit: Not to mention there are gay NPCs in the game so it's not something that would be completely out of the game world either.

Exactly. What about those guys playing miqo'tes because they like looking at big boobs? They won't be able to marry their real life wives in-game all because of some outdated block. On the other hand we'll have gay people marrying their real life partners because one of them is playing a female.

I really don't even know why marriage in FFXIV is being linked to the real world at all. Bigots and homophobes aren't people I wish to play with anyway so the sooner they go play Pokemon or something the better.

Could you imagine the outrage if SE said they aren't going to allow black characters because it might offend racists? So why disallow homosexuality just because it might offend homophobes?

sigh, we deviate too much from the topic

oh well, since someone brought it, this topic has nothing to do personal sexual orientation
this topic is now about the decrease the value of marriage in modern society

Turning a blind eye on all "hot topics" isn't exactly a good way to evolve either

I don't want my fun to be spoiled, but come on. I'm more irritated by the know-it-alls in random parties than anything else in this game, including Gobbues, jumping or grass. . . .

is this about me, since I dont get it

Well you said you didn't want your fun to be spoiled, even though that might make you seem cowardish, to paraphrase. That's what I was referring to. . . .

No reason to engage this person honestly, its a ring around the rosey game

*meaning the person you were responding to

I think it should be added. To those complaining about cyber bulling I offer this.

There are some parts of the world that bully redheads, should they be removed to improve sales? That online gaming has a population of ne'er do wells isn't something new, and its no reason to not innovate. The folks that complain of "it haz teh ghey" have their own failing, not the game.
