Being intolerant of intolerance isn't wrong, but it isn't productive either. Let's just keep reminding people why it isn't a bad idea to implement same gendered marriage in the game.Â
I would like to reiterate the point that the people who would be offended by gay marriage in the game are people who most likely wouldn't play in the first place, but the people who would be ok with or appreciative of it are likely the kinds of young people who play video games in large numbers. The threat of "backlash" is a red herring that's tossed out all the time. Like when One Million Moms protested DC having a gay Green Lantern. No one cared because they don't buy comic books anyway.Â
Reppu does make a good point in arguing that it's best to put in gay marriage after launch so the game isn't rated 18+ or banned anywhere, but seeing as marriage won't be implemented at launch anyway, it's kind of a fallacious argument.
