I don't want to be racisit but i am not a fan of homosexuals,and i also don't like the way media encourage them.But what can i do?from games to news you hear about homosexuality.

The minority will get dominant, if they are vocal about their rights. The majority meanwhile, is afraid to speak up, for the fear of getting branded as homophobic and racist. And in turn, their rights are ignored. This is the problem everywhere.

There's a reason children are so homophobic: they grow up in a world where they are almost exclusively, and in some cases completely exclusively exposed to straight relationships. Then, when they learn about people being gay, they naturally see this as an aberration, a deviant state.

You want homosexuality to be taught to the kindergarten kids? I disagree with that. When they reach 14-15 years of age, they can be taught about homosexuality. Until then, leave them alone.
No i don't want the kids to be teached about homosexuality in kindergarden!I don't want to be racisit but i am not a fan of homosexuals,and i also don't like the way media encourage them.But what can i do?from games to news you hear about homosexuality.

Haha. I think you have a misunderstanding of what teaching kids about homosexuality is. They're not showing them gay porn and teaching them how to douche themselves. Kids don't need to be taught about sex in kindergarten, but they do in early high school. Homosexuality is a part  of sexuality and of life and they should be made aware of this and that there's nothing wrong with it.

Nah, that's just your fear kicking in. If you genuinely believed in this and was passionate about it and believed it to be the truth then you should stand up and wouldn’t care, but I think racists and homophobes should be ashamed and scared to air their views.

"a fan launched a social media campaign last month pleading with the gaming company for equality, but Nintendo insists their creative choice wasn't designed to offend."

http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/nintendo-game-faces-criticism-over-lack-of-gay-characters-20140507

It's a game, not intended to be an instrument of social change.

You don't like it; don't play it.

Jesus, is there anything else people want to whine about?

When do you want to teach them about heterosexuality?

The minority will get dominant, if they are vocal about their rights. The majority meanwhile, is afraid to speak up, for the fear of getting branded as homophobic and racist. And in turn, their rights are ignored. This is the problem everywhere.

What does this even mean? You can't catch homosexuality from a pride parade or a TV programme... This is similar to the "if we don't keep the blacks down they will become the majority" viewpoint, except even more retarded - it's not like gay people are reproducing.

It doesn't mean anything to anyone unless you're completely ignorant and intolerant. He really just has an overwhelming fear of The Rise of Gays and Muslims (but he's not homophobic and Islamaphobia doesn't exist according to him).

May be. But that doesn't mean that everyone should be forced to attend a pride parade or made to watch pro-gay programs on the television. It should be up to the individual.

If it is convenient for them to do so, like in the case of Russia recently, they will take advantage of it; but for a multinational corporation? I doubt it.

If it can happen to the Russian products like this one:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-23506425

then it can happen to Nintendo also.
Does the russian vodka prevents them from assfucking? If so, then it's a sign of a major issue. Maybe it would be wise decision to use vodka on the direct purpose, not for assfucking.

Why should we care, how somebody uses his genitals? Seriously, this is ridiculous.  Roll Eyes

I thought that the word ginger was a racial pejorative or ethnic slur, which should not be used in public. And look at the person who has used it... A self-proclaimed anti-racism crusader. Next time, use the phrase Red haired people instead.

Who the hell is forcing people to go to gay parades or watch TV? Pretty sure you have the individual right to turn the TV off or to a different channel.

Since when have I proclaimed to by an 'anti-racism crusader'? I guess you can call me that though if it means not being intolerant for no good reason and/or any normal and rational open-minded person who isn't bothered by certain groups who have no bearing on their life whatsoever.

This kind of manufactured outrage dealt out by political pressure groups isn't unusual though, just to show that I'm on niether side of the fence does remember what happened with Spongebob Squarepants?

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/08/17/spongebob-squarepants-gay-cartoon-characters_n_1796094.html

It's all just a load of bullshit, I didn't know Ukraine made a big deal about this but I know it filtered to the American Christian groups as well who decided to get wound up about it.

No, express yourself all you like but be fearful of the consequences. Racists and homophobes should be fearful of the shame and ridicule they would quite rightfully receive. I have no doubt if people didn't protest at peoples ignorance and intolerance Bryant would be out on the streets at every hate march, but he's probably scared to do so so he just hide behinds his computer and makes such remarks like an armchair fascist.

When leftists have power they do their best to silence the views of normal people.  When someone else has even a tiny shred of power (Senator McCarthy hearings) they attempt to diffuse the situation and say that people shouldn't be persecuted for their views/speech/actions.

Why is this?  It is because leftism is lust for power, nothing more, nothing less.  A few quotes come to mind:
Quote
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
Quote
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

Gas chamber? May be in the North America and Western Europe. I live outside these regions. So I don't care how much they are going to vomit their threats here. Brainwashed liberals.

There are a lot of people that see others as a collective as opposed to individuals. All it does is reveals their ignorance and mental laziness.

A child should not fear others because of the child's lack of knowledge and understanding.

You should not need to attack the weak...they will destroy themselves without your help.

The intended age demographic of this game is likely younger than the age at which a full awareness of sexual orientation and preference develops. Therefore, I do not believe it is harmful (and certainly not hateful) to program a video game to primarily contain heterosexual relationships.
I highly doubt there is enough realism to the game to necessitate nuanced lessons of morality and diversity, as the primary goal is entertainment.
