As someone who is an avid video gamer and equal rights activist, I wanted to address the issue of Nintendo's apology to their fans for "Tomodachi Life." A couple of months ago, Nintendo released a statement apologizing to their fans about the game Tomodachi Life, and how the player was not able to date or marry an avatar of the same sex. Many video game companies that release games that are virtual reality, are always under attack when their video games do not include the option to have a same sex partner. First of all, I would like to congratulate Nintendo on dealing with the issue in a respectable manner, but I believe homosexuality should be kept out of children's video games.

 

Human Rights is a political issue.Gay marriage has always been a hot topic in America since the turn of the century, but the first video game to include same sex couples in a virtual reality was "The Sims". Although "The Sims" is not aimed at children, including the option to have a same sex partner in a child's video game like "Tomodachi Life," could in fact be harmful to the way children see homosexuals. Gay people could become a joke in video games meant for children, based solely on how the player wants to play the game, skewing the idea that we are all equal, regardless of sexual orientation. Already in today's society, we see children in elementary school calling each other names like "gentlemans," and not realizing the harm they are doing.

 

I think it's okay to include same sex couple's in video games if the developer chooses, but I also believe the developer shouldn't be put down for not including the option either. Children need to learn about homosexuality in a way were the issue isn't made fun of, and I just don't believe that's possible in a video game where a child has so much freedom to do whatever he or she pleases. What do you think? Are you angry Nintendo didn't include this option, and should we allow the option to be homosexual in more video games?        

You didn't watch the whole video...and even if I tried to refute you like before you will just say it's because of the "patriarchy" and try to dismiss everything I say using that statement.

I never ever tried to refute you by saying the patriarchy lmao you just made that up.

 

And no I don't plan on watching an hour long antifeminist video - I know all the antifeminist views, I've heard the arguments. I'm not going to waste an hour listening to someone say I don't need equal rights

and I've heard all of the feminist views and I don't agree with them.

I've clicked quote 100000 times and nothing's happening so sorry that you won't get a notification that I posted (or that you might get 100000 if they show up after I click post lol)

 

but let's recap because I'm confused now

 

Me: Present an argument as to why gender roles are bad and feminism is necessary

You: "you will just say it's the patriarchy and dismiss everything I say"

Me: Points out I have never ever done this

You: "i don't agree with feminists"

 

???? that literally has nothing to do with what I said lol. I mean we can either get back on track here or continue discussing this privately because it appears not only have we gone offtopic and started talking about feminism, but now we've even gone offtopic from that.
