Obviously not. But why you can't just take it like a man and return it is beyond me. Or is every game developer required to contact you for your approval? > After the Boyscout incident gays are pretty low on my priority list > for tolerance. Do you mean the one where the scoutingest Boy Scout ever was denied his wish to teach the next generation of Scouts because he spanks his monkey to pictures of naked men instead of naked women? Yeah, that made a lot of sense... > I want proportional representation for ethnic > minorities, people who speak English as a second language, handicapped > people, stupid people and ignorant people before I'll even consider > the proposition that gay characters belong in computer games. What does proportional representation have to do with it? I think you're making stuff up here. Correction: I know you're making stuff up. > And even > then, I shouldn't be forced to PLAY a gay person. It's a ROLEPLAYING > game, we are supposed to be able to RELATE to the character we are > playing, ya know? Guess what, game developers? Most of your customers > aren't gay! Most of them aren't magic-wielding amnesiacs with a thirst for combat, either. So what's your point? Free tip: if you don't like it, don't play it. Note to self: no more responding to immature, bigoted trolls.
