The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 12 May, 2014
Nintendo has apologized for 'not recognizing' same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life, after a Social Media campaign sought to force changes to the life-simulation world.
In Tomodachi Life, players are represented by their Mii characters and can carry out plenty of different activities in their virtual world, including going on dates with others, and getting married. Two Miis of the ... [ read the full article ]

LoL...
1.) Heterosexuals are not being persecuted. No one is going around protesting funerals with signs that say, "Got hates straights". No one is attempting to outlaw straight marriage. If this game had gay marriage, it would still have straight marriage too. Rights are not limited quantity items. You don't lose your right to marry by giving it to someone else.
2.) If a game dev wants to include or not include same sex marriage (for whatever reason) that is up to them. They should not be forced to include it.

I'm not stating that straight marriages will lose anything from this game, I'm just tired of gay people complaining foul play when they are not included in every little thing. They are forcing us to cater to their needs, just for example like we do for the handicap people. What I mean by that is with handicap people having their own special parking, not a big deal but we cater to their needs. Now with gay people, they want us to cater to their needs for everything just like how this guy want to marry their boyfriend on a video game... just stop winning about feeling left out and demanding so much from everyone, and forcing us to accept everything you do.
It's so funny when I made a comment twice about how would any of you guys like to get flip over and get it down from your top or bottom from a another guy... none of you responded to that. So perhaps you are homophobic because you can't accept the idea of you craving gay acts. It's a shame your still in the closet, be happy and gay for yourself... just keep it to yourself because we don't care.

They are not forcing anyone to do anything. They are bringing something to light so that other gay people don't make the mistake of buying the game too. If you bought a game to find that it was missing a feature that you found vital and there was no way to get a refund, you would post too.
That is part of how the free market is supposed to work...if you make a product that excludes people those people are going to alert each other so that most of them don't buy it.
As to your "like to get flip over and get it down from your top" nonsense, many people responded about how irrational homophobic people can be...maybe if people had some idea what you were trying to say with your scrambled rant someone would respond directly. All I can figure from it is that you are calling everyone who doesn't hate gay people gay...and obviously you think that this is a terrible insult because you hate gay people...either that, or you are saying everyone who claims not to be gay is in fact gay, and you claim not to be gay the loudest so you are the most gay? Not entirely sure.
BTW...for all we know Nintendo may have meant this to be a commentary on old laws...same sex marriage is a hot button issue in Japan as well. They may just be trying to bring attention to the issue.

i don't have the game but i'm wondering if it contains
disabled people & religious people (they have to include every religion even ones nintendo knows nothing about so they don't disciminate),
does it contain swear words (wouldn't wanna discriminated against foul mouth people)???
does it include every language knows to man and klingon of course (wouldn't wannna discriminated against people or trekkies).
does it contains crimes (wouldn't wanna discriminate against criminals).
now by my example you can see how hard it would be to make a politically correct game, i honestly have no actual interest in the game.

Glad to know someone else sees my point. Do we need to change everything we do just to please everyone. We have to walk on egg shells just to be careful not to have someone feeling left out... the world doesn't work that way and it's time to man-up and stop complaining so much and waiting peoples time.

No, I was just reading your bio on this site and wanted to point it out (j/k). Seriously, nobody still has no real valid response to comment in question, so you must still be in the closet. You?re not agreeing or denying it so that only leads us to believe this. No big deal you if you like to get the big stiffy, just be proud and wave your Rainbow Flag proudly like your significant other.

You insist on a response (I wonder if they have trolls in the game?) I'll respond to your first post in this thread as it is at least somewhat legible.
Originally posted by g_slide:
Your comments are so predictable of people today being "Politically Correct". Just as I put in my comments earlier, that if your not gay your not right. It's like we are looked down upon because we are not gay, I'm so sorry I'm not gay.
No one is looking down on you because you are not gay...just because you sound like a bigot. It isn't that being straight makes anyone wrong...it is that being opposed to the rights of others when they have nothing to do with them makes you wrong.
Originally posted by g_slide:
Of course it is a choice, because for years people see it on TV, movies, etc. and they become immune to it and think it's natural and then end result it becomes a choice.
Yes, let's base everything on what we see on TV. I'm gonna start stockpiling crossbows for when the walking dead arrive.
Originally posted by g_slide:
If it was not a choice then why would people who are gay say they felt something weird, don't know how to explain it and don't feel normal like other people; remember the old expression coming out of the closet... that's when they start feeling like it's a choice and not born with it.
They feel like they are not the standard that society tells them to be. This makes them feel "weird". It isn't that they feel like aliens from another planet...they just don't feel like other guys; for some reason they don't like looking at chicks. Coming out of the closet is a choice; but it isn't choosing to be gay or straight...it is only choosing to admit your own nature to the world. A tough choice when people like you are out there.
Originally posted by g_slide:
No kid is born being gay, that is such BS. The say that only hoping people will understand them better and say, "Oh well, he was born with it, I guess it's not his fault that he's gay".
What proof do you have that no one is born gay? Even some catholic priests have admitted to being born gay...they choose to be celibate but they are still gay.
Originally posted by g_slide:
I don't care for anyone sexual preference or religion, I'm just saying stop crying out and forcing others to accept it.
I don't care if you accept it...you can think the earth is flat and unicorns fart rainbows. Just don't force your views on others, don't get mad when a gay group points out a feature they want in a game.
Originally posted by g_slide:
If you are so much for gay rights and you say your heterosexual, why don't you let a guy stick his junk in you from either your top or bottom end and see if you like it.
I don't do that because I am not gay. By your logic, any woman who supports straight marriage should let me f**k her any time I want.
Originally posted by g_slide:
I mean your so happy and proud for them, why don't you practice what you preach... let me guess it's a no because it grosses you out. Well that's all I'm saying, stop forcing crap like that down our throats.
Yes, it does gross me out. I'm not about to buy any gay porn. I don't "preach" that everyone should be gay. I just don't think anyone should have anyone else's views imposed on them and it is hardly limited to this subject. If you think weed is the devil's candy that's fine...don't smoke it, but don't vote for laws making it illegal for me. If you think that guns kill people don't buy one...but don't try to stop me from defending myself legally from someone who got a gun illegally. Gay people fighting for gay rights makes sense...it applies to them directly. Why exactly do you feel the need to fight against gay rights when they would have no effect on you? Do you think god will destroy all mankind if same sex marriage is included in the next version of this game? If not, the only logical stake you might have in fighting same sex marriage in games or in real life is that you don't want your boyfriend pressuring you into marriage...and honestly after dealing with that from a couple of girlfriends, I would support you in that. No one should get married...but if anyone is dumb enough to want marriage, they should be able to make that mistake.

Yes, we are so proud of you. You are our god savior from this forum and we worship every unbiased comments you make... did you notice the sarcasm in that sentence?. Of course you avoided the obvious comments again, oh well we can't expect to receive an actual intellectual thought from a guy who is still in his high-school/junior college years. Good luck with that English 1A exam your taking, your going to need it.
Your "special-ed" yellow school bus is arriving, it's time for mommy to pack your lunch and head to class.
