nintendo will not allow gamers to be gay in next game

Why are people so offended that some gay dude wanted to be able to marry his boyfriend in a game? He didn't say to boycott or anything, he used a hashtag to get attention. What the forget are you people even crying about, jesus.

If you have an option for straight relationships but not gay ones, it implies that gay relationships are lesser.

Uh, no. If your game has an option for neither straight nor gay relationships, does that imply that all relationships are bad?

This is probably more selfish than anything, but I personally feel like gender "equalists" regularly try and push their problems and beliefs into areas they have no place being.  Granted, there are some misogynist forgets in gaming, but I feel like a lot of the people who are calling game developers loveist/tribal/homphobic tend to either not play games or only play mainstream titles.

the only problem with them adding this would be other people would want their special relationship types and itll go on until you can marry a chair or something

The game itself is still fun, is it really that difficult for you to just pretend to be another gender or just not have any representation of yourself or people you know in the game? Or even to pretend that a character who is one gender is actually the other for the purposes of practicing your chosen loveual orientation within the confines of a game.

This. I got married to another guy once in an online game (As a joke, not an actual real relationship). Instead of complaining that we couldn't, one of us just made our character into a girl. Although the game (Mabinogi) has had official same-love marriage support since then.

Can you reasonably say that Nintendo's audience might not include homoloveuals who would be interested in marrying each other's Mii?

Most Nintendo games these days are aimed at children. No child growing up thinks "I Want to be gay when I grow up!" Even most kids that are gay don't know it at that time. Sure, there are plenty of people outside their target audience that would play it, but it makes more sense to market towards your target audience
