Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[Loggos]

Like this post if you don't want same gender marriage.

[Gramul]

Personally, I'm fine with same sex marriage. I don't care.

[Jynx]

Don't care much either way. It's not something that is a make or break for me but I see no reason to not allow same sex mariages in the game.

I don't really think it makes sense to gender restrict it especially since many peoples characters aren't even their real life gender.

Well my boyfriend plays a female character.. and so do I.. it would suck a lot if they chose no.....

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this type of situation.

Ya same here.
And since my boyfriend won't change his char into a male Miqo, I'd be sad if I can't marry him in ARR ;__;
I guess he would also be kinda furious if I would marry another male player x'D

I really hope we can marry the same sex like in Skyrim. There it was no problem at all and I found it really nice that they made no difference ^^

i totally got the same issue in FF11 :O now he (my bf o.x) is a highlander, but he tends to become a female galka >.>' then we have the same problem again in ARR -.- pls :O if people love it each other, isn't that all that matter? what is so wrong with expressing that to the outside world in a game world =( (therefore i say i am a female and my irl boyfriend is...well... male :\ )

everyone has his pro and cons to stuff in the world. like some people like spiders, and some people rather see a world without them- that doesn't mean that people who dislike spiders should be listen to and all the spider be round up :| as for more sensitive subjects like some people rather see someone else suffer (physically)- we all know that isn't right but if someone gets hurt by hurting their feelings (mentally)- that person (which is hurt) has the right and the choice to look the other way.

so if there are people out there who are against same sex marriage based on (mental) believes; just shut your eyes, turn around and walk away. no need to feel hurt if you can just 'walk away' from it. some things in this world are 'allowed' based on ethical decisions. Even if the entire SQEX staff is against this, minus 1 or 2, if the ethical voice of 'everyone is the same and needs to be treated the same', what can they possibly begin. if SQEX wants to be traditional, it will make the marriage a private happening, like in 11- so anyone who feels the need to object, can just turn down the invitation.

or... because it is just a game- people might also just tag along and see a different world (thereby i mean the same world from a different perspective).

i hope i don't discourage anyone with what i am saying, and i don't want to start a new '80's feeling like 'everyone should love each other'. it is just that i think and know everyone is that same- 'we bleed the same' so, please SQEX and everyone else who has doubts or objections; we live in one world, with one sky. many people share the same sky, although for everyone it might be a different world below that sky. but we are the same, no matter where you are born, raised, work or what you believe in. if we strip our worlds from ethical decisions and reason- we are the same and that's the base principal.

I dont think a poll is appropriate for this topic. The fragility of the topic goes beyond this simple game, it could negatively affect the company and it's brands if mishandled.

Ah sorry I never meant to say it is easy. I know it's a sensitive topic but this thread is not only for poll results. It's also for feedback.
I also know that SE seems to worry a lot about it because weren't there some similar problems regarding the gender change with 2.0?
On the other hand Yoshida did ask for feedback and I don't think this is something that should not be discussed.
A poll with unexplained results might not be good.
But a poll with feedback is ok I think because it can give you a quick overview of the community's oppinion (or at least those who are active on the forums).
If you want to have more detailed information on the other hand you can read the feedback following the poll.

This is just our opinion. Whether SE does allow it or not is still up to them because they have a better ovreview about their relationship with politics anyways.
I can imagine that e.g. in China where there are closed servers those things might be restricted (I don't know how China handles homosexuality though).
