Nintendo's rejection of gay relationships gives fans a lot to be angry about

For the gay lobby, even the games can be a tool for propaganda spreading, especially if it is played by children in their pre-teens. Political correctness has grown too much in the Western World. And example is here:

What next? May be not attending a gay pride parade will be called homophobic.

You're not far off for sure!

I was once called homophobic because I told a guy I had no interest in seeing the movie "Brokeback Mountain".

IMAO I actually saw it cause I was curious in how a man could turn to be a homosexual.    I mean when men and men play is not like we can get attracted to each other just by playing wrestling with each other.   I dont know how that can happen

A few months after the DVD was released, I thought about watching the movie... as it had created so much hype. My friend had the DVD, so I got it from  him. But then I saw all the comments in a movie review forum which I used to visit.... It was clear that some people were using the movie as a propaganda tool. Decided not to watch it, and returned the DVD.

How about watch it and make your own mind up? Though I very much doubt you would've enjoyed it. I thought it was mediocre to be honest, but there's no propaganda in it. It's just a film about two gay cowboys.

All because they were scared to lose money, guess Same Sex Sales!

Hmm... if they care too much about the 1% of the population, then they might lose some of the sales from the remaining 99% of the population. Anyway... their current stance is appreciable. They have offered an apology, and I think that is enough for now. If the gays are not satisfied with it, then they can boycott Nintendo, just like they had boycotted the Russian vodka.

The fact that these companies give in just to easy says alot, what if the other people on the opposite side, will they apologize for it change it back.  I think to easy solve this problem they can have two versions of games to pick, so that parents the want there kids exposed to a homesexual reality can be avoided.  Now games will me marked a bi relationship logo on the back of the retail box rating page.

"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."

First of all I would like to thank you for not having this stupid "This is a self-moderated topic. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic." like on the other thread.

The pink mafia is not fully realizing the damage it is doing to its community in the long run. They've been going full Stasi Mode in the past few years thinking people are joining their cause, not by fear, but because they agree with their tactics.

You may scare some people and organization for now but you are definitely isolating your own community even more.

These "pro gay" organizations learned these slash and burn tactics from "feminists". See how well that is working out for them? These two types of activism are very closely aligned and often overlap. They have gone beyond protecting people from aggressors, and have become the aggressors themselves. Also don't forget as soon as you form centralized organizations there is now suddenly pressure for creating a big event to draw in donations for these groups to continue to function. This is a problem for activism of any type, and is clearly now also an issue for "pro gay" groups as well. Being intolerant of people whom you deem intolerant is just as moronic as being intolerant in the first place. Polarizing your hatred in the opposing direction does not make you righteous, it only makes you just as big of an idiot as your opponent.

lol... feels bad for Nintendo. Seems like they are cracking under pressure:

Nintendo apologizes, vows to make future Tomodachi games 'more inclusive'

http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/9/5700624/nintendo-tomodachi-life-apology

"We pledge that if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players."

Translation: This is the last installment in the Tomodachi series?

I really don't see what's so hard about telling them to fuck off and go make their own homosexual friendly game instead of harassing somebody to do the job for them :S reminds me actually of people that complain about Bitcoin and keep trying to campaign to change it, yet there's nothing stopping them from going out and making their own currency instead.

Yeah, he should take his complaint to the Homocoin forum.  Guy deleted a post where I just said I disagreed with him.  WTF?

You missed out there bud - its a great film IMHO.

If anything, if I'd have been considering "batting for the other side" I reckon this film would have put me off - not that I ever would, for the love of Christ. Some of them gay blokes have beards FFS  .

No - put your prejudice/fear/latent homoerotic desires aside, and watch the film - we won't tell on you

Bah. 

Put aside YOUR PREJUDICES for a moment.

Any of us can likely quote a couple dozen movies that had serious handling of homosexuality, or which includes successfully using them in comedy.   Marilyn Monroe had a couple.  Seen Kung Fu Hustle?     How about the Hoover movie? 

The issue being questioned here is that this particular film was propaganda.

It wasn't propaganda, why would anyone suggest that ? - it was a sensitive handling of forbidden love. That they were gay was almost incidental.

Great film.
