Re: Makeb - Gay Planet... or Microcosm of GLBT Rights Today?

The comments I read on that article sadden me. How can people be so willfully ignorant and derisive and then pat each other on the the back thinking they're clever? We're just talking about having the option for SGR's. If it's just an option how is that ramming our whiny liberal agenda down their throats if it's 100% optional??? I even remember EA saying you'd be able to disable the SGR option in the preferences menu so it would never come up in game. It's totally a microcosm for LGBT rights, and much like civil rights and women's suffrage it's not going to be left up to the majority. Granted EA is a business and they're probably terrified to make another misstep but how many players will actually ragequit their games if SGR's are implemented? Especially if, like society, more and more companies face pressure to do the decent thing or lose a growing and vital demographic for good. Are all straight male and female gamers going to hang up their controllers and gaming mouses and break out monopoly, go ride a bike or play take up paintball? I don't think so, they're the whiners, not us, and they're all talk and EA needs to realize that.
