I think there is a problem with society if the first "problem" people bring up when talking about GTA would be homosexuality.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="Silenthps"] How is it not forcing when a person states homosexuality in general should be in video games because of their anti-religious beliefs? the fact is, both sides are forcing. The difference is my beliefs force people to accept the truth about homosexuality which is backed up by the word of God. While the other side forces people to believe a lie. Silenthps

Can't you keep the evangelizing to OT? :|

this isnt evangelizing, its about homosexuality in video games. which i do NOT wish to see.

So does that mean no one else should?

[QUOTE="Yandere"]

How is it not forcing when he is stating homosexuality in general should be completely left out of video games because of his religious beliefs?

Yandere

Because it is his opinion or belief just like it is your opinion to allow it to be in the game. We do have freedom of religion in this country as well as speech.

It is my opinion, but allowing homosexuality in games wouldn't be forcing anything on anyone, if someone doesn't want homosexual content then they don't have to purchase it.. But there is still the option of buying it, unlike a complete ban, anyways freedom of speech/religion also includes homosexual content does it not?

We as individuals have no control over what they put in movies, games or TV. We can only decide not to watch it. But when practically every movie now has a same sex individual character now in it. That IS forcing the population to accept it. Some have beliefs that they do not agree with this but what do you do. Do you stop watching TV and Movies if you don't share these beliefs? I don't deny these people there right to a place in our society. But I don't believe that it needs to over take our TV shows and Games and Movies.

I have a hard time understanding, did you call me a homosexual? Or did you say homosexual content is forcing their 'beliefs' on people because the majority of entertainment has straight relations? I also don't believe it *needs* to take over anything, but I believe it has a place in our entertainment if a writer decides to put it in there.

Someone mentioned this just a few posts ago and I want to repeat it. Being represented isn't "forcing it" down anyones throats. They are a part of society and its only right that our media reflects this reality.

However, the same argument could be used about blacks or hispanics or any other race. There's plenty of racists out there. should we change our media to remove all non-whites from games and movies as well to avoid offening racists?

What would be your solution then? Take them out of movies, games and TV completely? Gays are just getting their fair share representation in media just as african-americans did decades ago, it's the exact same situation.

There are homosexual individuals in this world, that is a FACT and the sooner people accept it the better. It is detrimental to society by flooding media and entertainment mediums with false perceptions of reality.

How about this? How many asian protagonists are seen on TV, games and movies? If all of a sudden asians are being shown in media would that be forcing the western population to accept asians?

A sales risk, yes. There is a lot of prejudice against gays, and I believe some ... immature... 360 users will avoid this expansion because of the protagonist's sexual orientation. Grand Theft Auto's sales have always been based off the "cool" factor, I think.

Oh please. They make movies with murderers in them, does that mean the filmmakers are trying to say murder is ok? The Sopranos ran for many years and I don't think they were trying to convince people to be gangsters. The Shield was one the the best cop TV shows and the lead character murdered a cop in the very first episode, yet I don't think they condoned cop killing. What you say makes absolutely no sense.

"I don't deny these people there right to a place in our society"

Yeah, but you will deny their right to be fairly represented. Nice.

Name me a single mainstream film that shows an asian male kissing a woman or involved in a romance. Its terrible how we exclude certain races from certain roles in our media. A big complaint from asian male actors is how they never get to be romantic or sexy. Hollywood just won't allow it.

If you can make movies about two gay cowboys, I think its acceptable to make a game about a gay club owner (is he even gay I havent seen this confirmed?). Plus, theres so many other games to play this fall who cares, dont play it if you dont like it.

It's curious that most homosexuals say otherwise, and yet the church keep claiming that its a choice, just so they can continue justifying their hatred for their fellow human beings.

But hey.. christianity is certainly a choice.. as such it should be removed from all media to avoid offending Atheists. Lets be honest, religion has caused far more hard, hurt death and damage over the course of history than homosexuality ever could.

Oh you mean like a romantic drama or something like that. Hmm...Well there was a very PROMINENT love element in Crouching Tiger but that could be called an action oriented movie (and a damn good one too).

What would be your solution then? Take them out of movies, games and TV completely? Gays are just getting their fair share representation in media just as african-americans did decades ago, it's the exact same situation.

There are homosexual individuals in this world, that is a FACT and the sooner people accept it the better. It is detrimental to society by flooding media and entertainment mediums with false perceptions of reality.

How about this? How many asian protagonists are seen on TV, games and movies? If all of a sudden asians are being shown in media would that be forcing the western population to accept asians?

why do people always associate homosexuality with race? Homosexuality is a choice, and that choice causes you to have perverted relationships and perverted sexual activity.

Religion is a choice too.

Well they brainwash kids at an early age...not really a choice when the parents force you to go.

It is my opinion, but allowing homosexuality in games wouldn't be forcing anything on anyone, if someone doesn't want homosexual content then they don't have to purchase it.. But there is still the option of buying it, unlike a complete ban, anyways freedom of speech/religion also includes homosexual content does it not?

We as individuals have no control over what they put in movies, games or TV. We can only decide not to watch it. But when practically every movie now has a same sex individual character now in it. That IS forcing the population to accept it. Some have beliefs that they do not agree with this but what do you do. Do you stop watching TV and Movies if you don't share these beliefs? I don't deny these people there right to a place in our society. But I don't believe that it needs to over take our TV shows and Games and Movies.

Oh please. They make movies with murderers in them, does that mean the filmmakers are trying to say murder is ok? The Sopranos ran for many years and I don't think they were trying to convince people to be gangsters. The Shield was one the the best cop TV shows and the lead character murdered a cop in the very first episode, yet I don't think they condoned cop killing. What you say makes absolutely no sense.

"I don't deny these people there right to a place in our society"

Yeah, but you will deny their right to be fairly represented. Nice.

I think your missing the point. Murder is wrong. I'm not saying being gay is wrong. Just tired of it being forced down our throats. Same sex individuals have existed for centuries. But as a society it has been a silent one. Call me narrow minded but I would prefer it to stay that way.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] Name me a single mainstream film that shows an asian male kissing a woman or involved in a romance. Its terrible how we exclude certain races from certain roles in our media. A big complaint from asian male actors is how they never get to be romantic or sexy. Hollywood just won't allow it. Bread_or_Decide

Aww c'mon Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Jakie Chan.. they must have gotten SOME action?!

Nope. Peck on the lips maybe. But ROMANCE movie with a sex scene? Nope.

Well kumar was involved romantically in H&K: EfGB. But I digress, asians are used as side characters in most media apart from kung fu movies.

I don't really understand what the problem is :?.

Nero_Paladin

Closed minded people not accepting the world as it is.

And here we have women aborting babies that haven't even come out of their wombs, people killing themselves for green papers, killing for diamonds, killing for glittering metal pieces, we have women giving their bodies for green papers,women killing their 3 year oldbabies "Casey Anthony" case,dads raping their daughters or sons, people dying of hunger, humans taking other humans lives because a woman cheated on them, people using cocaine, heroine, crack, drugs, whatever they find to satisfy themselves and feel better.

And TC comes here tells me that Gay can't be allowed in a video game, because is not normal? ?Seeing how f***ed up the world is?

And there's absolutely nothing abnormal of being gay Love has no age and no gender.

I pray the day comes, when people truly understands one another.

If you can't create your own personal, identifiable thoughts on matters as important as philosophy/religion, being brainwashed by a mostly harmless organization like the church isn't so bad.

Agreed on everything but be careful about the age comment...or else you will need to go door to door in your neighborhood explaining. j/k j/k (think Big Lebowski and The Jesus)

In a totally unrelated topic, I would never get a tatoo. It is just not appealing to me. Also, I don't understand why the media keeps shoving tatoo art down our throats. I mean, it's everywhere these days! I want the characters in my movies tatoo-free, is that so hard to understand?

Would you count Sandra Oh in Grey's Anatomy? It's not a movie, and it's a female involved in sex rather then male, but ti's still a very mainstream show. :)

But i can't think of too many films that are both mainstream and have an asian male in a romantic role(though there are some smaller films that do).

Being homosexual its not a choice. Live a "homosexual life" is. there are homosexuals men married with woman and living a "heterosexual life" by choice.

in a game that force you to rob banks, steal cars and kill people and i dont see you getting all nervous about being forced to do that but when you see a game caracter with gay in the name you get all insecure?? we do live in a sick planet...

Its mostly a problem with male actors. Asian women are hot so they get plenty of onscreen kisses. Most likely with non-asian counterparts. But I digress. Ang Lee recently made a great NC17 movie starring asian actors called Lust Caution.

Being Gay has hurt people. It's called Aides and it was started by a gay individual check the history. So don't act like being Gay is so innocent. I believe people are born that way and are entitled to there preference. But they have caused problems in this world just as Murderers and rapists and greed.

Only reason it is taboo is society being close-minded... like usual. I personally don't like Grand Theft Auto but hope this sells just to prove topics like this can be covered if done right (can't exactly say good taste since its GTA).

You ever think maybe gay people get tired of always seeing straight couples on TV and movies?
