This is the second "stop shoving it in my face" post you've made, so now I have to say something and drag both of us into a whole ....thing.Originally Posted by ljkkjlcm9
I get people all the time who tell me they could care less if I'm gay, as long as I don't "flaunt it". Then they hold hands with their girlfriends, or talk about their marriage, or in some cases comment every other second on someone's "rack" or how hot Angelina Jolie is.
So every day I get heterosexuality smeared all over my eyes and ears and nobody notices the irony when I make one mention of how a guy looks and they go "OH MY GOD YOU'RE GAY WE GET IT STOP BRINGING IT UP ALL THE TIME".
So if a gay relationship was in a Final Fantasy game, that would be shoving it in your face, but every other Final Fantasy relationship isn't shoving it into mine?
That being said, I believe there WILL be a time when a game like this can exist without any question of controversy. It won't be anytime soon, but in a few thousand years if we're all still around this won't be an issue anymore.
THAT being said, I understand why you feel this way. When a gay person walks in with hair so gelled it could cut you going "TOOT TOOT LET'S GO HONEYZ GET THIS THANG GOIN' SISTA QUEENIE DRAG STYLE MMMMHMMM!!" I also want to throw up. But when that happens, I smack the person and tell them their gay membership has been revoked because I'm embarrassed to allow them in the family... Just like I did with Michael Jackson. So don't let the flamers confuse you, they are more of an exception then what you think. When I assassinate the Fab Five a lot of this issue will be cleared up.
As for Brokeback Mountain, I'm glad that it exists and Ledger and Gylanhaal have no problem dancing the fairy hanky panky, but it shouldn't have been as big a deal as it was. If it's EVER going to be considered normal and equal, then every time a gay-related product is put out it needs to stop being a monumental event. I'm gay every single day and nobody gave me any damn Golden Globe for it.But you have to understand it's such a big deal because it IS such a big deal right now. I can't even hold hands with another guy on the street without 40 thousand things being said to me by everyone, and I have to pretend I'm straight in certain parts of the city because I'd rather not think what would happen otherwise. So when something tasteful that breaks stereotypes comes along it's a rather large step forward. So when all that ridiculous bull has stopped then so will the "OOooh it's GAY give it an AWARD!"
Also, on the topic of not being able to relate, I can understand this simply because you never see it. I can relate to any straight love story in a movie or game or whatnot because I've been exposed to it repeatedly my entire life, so I'm USED to being empathetic for a couple that would certainly never include me. So if they never make games with homosexual couples, then no, no one will ever be able to relate to it unless you are.
Anywho, that was a rather long rant, I know. Just know I don't go to parades or protests or write angry letters, I'm not that kind of person at all. I just wanted to try and make my point of view a little clearer. I wasn't trying to like, ATTACK you, or anything. But it's funny that I have to justify defending myself at all, as me posting this will once again get eye rolls and a "Ah geez another one of THESE" kind of reaction, even though everyone else can make pukey faces and talk about how it would bankrupt Square.
Ah, the opposing opinion...The cause of all humanity's problems. Not to worry, soon Wal-Mart will take over the world and tell us all what to think, then we won't have debates like this anymore.
