EA Targeted by Anti-Gay Letter Campaign

No one seems to have an issue with Stripper characters. In fact, as an avid fan of The Sims, I believe that exotic dancing should be an employment option for them.  I guess it all depends on the type of ‘person’ you’ve created.  That would be quite an entertaining game.  I may be a little slow, though, because I haven’t upgraded to The Sims 3 yet.  Do they have stripper poles available as a decorative bedroom option?  If they do, can kids interact with it?  If so, would they grow up to potentially become a sexual deviant, destined for after-hour greatness in the bowels of some classless club with dirty money?  Would they have daddy issues?  I think that is a fascinating potential storyline for a simulation video game.

Why didn’t these letter writers target Playboy, The Mansion game created by arush.  I have that game and, wow, I’d be worried about my kid getting his/her hands on that one.  Lots and lots of boobs, bunnies and blowjobs.  No joke.  The grotto is kickin’ in this game.  It’s actually a power boost for the main character, ‘Hef.’  To me, that situation poses more of an issue for families than gay characters.  Why aren’t they as distraught over the amount of violence in video games, too?  It seems that in light of all of these shoot-outs in schools, they’d be more worried about that.  Again, that would be more sensible than worrying about gay characters.

Of course, why don’t we call this situation what it really is?  Lazy, subpar parenting.  Pay attention to your kids and what they’re doing.  If you don’t approve, set boundaries.  You don’t like the games they play, send their little narrow asses outside and get some exercise, wash the car, trim the bushes.  Waging a crusade against something so trivial as video games is such nonsense and a waste of energy for both parties involved.  Congratulations to EA for standing up to the b.s.  I salute you!  Thanks, Sensi Boutique, for bringing this article to our attention.  What do the rest of you think about it?

EA games respond to letter writing campaign complaining about the inclusion of gay and lesbian characters in recent games.

Recently, some EA titles have had the option for characters to engage in same sex relationships, this option was not forced on players they could also choose a member of the opposite sex as a partner.  The latest games to offer this choice are Mass Effect 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic, but EA have been giving players this freedom for years with games like The Sims.  However, EA have received thousands of letters complaining and even saying that they will boycott EA games if this option is featured in future games.

Luckily, EA have responded by saying that they will not be changing their policy on the matter and have denied claims made by the letter writers that they were pressured into including gay and lesbian characters by ‘extremists’. …

Sayonara

I feel good.  Really, really good.  I've expunged that horrid episode and she has served her purpose.  Entertaining my loyal readers.  How did it end?  Well, if you must know, it went a little something like this: Int. Work - My Office - morning I dutifully sit typing at my desk when an IM pops…

Hallelujah!

Ever see a woman skipping through the tulips and wondered what the hell she was on?  That's how I feel right now.  1 of 4 of my beloved sex toys has been replaced since Hurricane Deluded swept through my bedroom.  I have had, count them, 3 days of vibrating bliss and I am thrilled.  Had…

Occupy Atlanta

Ugh.  Sunday night with Psycho aka Deluded.  I was more than happy to keep myself occupied in the kitchen making the salad.  With all of my best intentions of being semi-friendly (at least), I just couldn't muster up too much by way of conversation.  I chopped up all of the vegetables and left them on…

Who Does That?

Sunday morning came way too quickly.  She did too, apparently.  So much so, that she actually woke up semi-refreshed.  I didn't bring up anything about what I overheard the night before.  I didn't want to give her the satisfaction.  I decided that I have to hold myself responsible: I'm that hot.  So who could blame…

Confessions, Pt LVIII

'I used to do porn,' she says.  'No shit,' I'm thinking.  I knew it.  Her technique the night before reminded me of several porn flicks I've seen over the years.  It looks good on camera, but you know it isn't accomplishing jack.  I brought up something I thought she said the night before: did you…

Confessions, Pt. II

I can't explain my thought process over the next few days: I went from anger to sadness to pity and back full circle to pissed.  It was unreal.  Her behavior, that is.  Yes, I'm still talking about Deluded.  Once our festivities were over for the evening, I rolled over and tried to go to sleep,…

Confessions, Pt. I

Dear Deluded, I thought it fitting to communicate via letter since that's how we communicated best.  I'm not trying to offend you, but I feel that there are some things I need to get off of my chest.  Nay, deserve to get off of my chest.  From a distance. From the first evening of your…

Dear Cupid

Fuck you. How's that for a welcome back to the land of the Southern Strip?  Now that I've got your attention, have I got news for you!  Don't worry, I will pick up where I left off in Vegas, but I really have to share some recent events.  I have officially met Satan's disciple in…
