[QUOTE="pming, post: 7437047, member: 45197"] HIya. Wow. Uh, we went from "This is a new playable PC race that can change their sex" to "Why is it unreasonable that one or two NPC's are gay in a huge adventure?" in the space of how many posts? O_O I don't want to get into it any more because I know when I talk to...well...I'm not going to give my opinion on it after this post. Suffice it to say...I don't care if an NPC or ten are gay. I could care less insofar as actual 'caring'. ( I'd "care" in that it is likely an abnormal representation, but I can change that if needed; I won't loose any sleep over it). I also don't care if my "non-caring'ness" upsets people. If someone gets upset when I say "He/She's gay? Ok. Whatever. Doesn't matter. Nobody cares. What CLASS are they? That's important. Sexuality? Not", it's [I]not my problem[/I]. It's about as important in life as someone saying that they are big Calgary Flames (Canadian hockey team) fan. The only people that care about someone being a Calgary fan are other hockey fans...especially an Edmonton Oilers fan. ;) The VAST majority of people who watch hockey are just regular ol' folks watching hockey. "Fanatical Fanboi's" is an "extreme" version of a 'regular' hockey fan. The VAST majority of gay/bi people I've known or met were NOT "extreme"; they were just regular folks who preferred the same sex (or both). The only extreme reaction I've seen any of them was one gay guy I worked with; he absolutely hated gay guys who "flaunted it all over the place" (you know, the 'flamers'...not the hockey team, btw ;) ). I think he said that those who are most vocal and in-your-face about their sexuality were the most intolerant and most prone to jumping to the "homophobic" slur the moment they didn't like someone and that these guys gave "gay" a bad name/rep. That if he...a GAY MAN...made a gay joke or said something slightly off-colour, they would scream, yell and call him every name in the book, then finish it off with assault by throwing a drink in his face. THOSE are the intolerant people. Not the religious guy who says "I don't support or agree with being homosexual". See? We're not even talking about a freaking fantasy RPG any more! >:( Why? ...SLIPPERY SLOPE!... First, I'm not sure what you mean by lefties. Handedness? Politics? Men who hang their...uh...you know..."member" down the left pant leg? Second, no matter what definition you are using for "lefties", why do you think there would be an "issue"? Are people not allowed to have opinions or preferences different from yours? I don't get it. o_O At any rate...I'm out. This conversation/debate has SLIPPED on down the SLOPE from being about a fantasy game of imagination into...something I can't say or I'll get banned, probably. I don't know.
