Eh...
In Dragon Age, you sort of feel compelled to flirt with Zevran, gay or straight. Maybe I'm alone in that.

EA probably paid someone to start a controversy like they did with DI.

Viral marketing for a new gay marriage simulator confirmed.
Wait, you could play through Dragon Age and NOT flirt with Zevran? I think he would have bent over for anyone. Zevran wasn't gay, he was just a slut.

Much like any other person who's already spent money on the game, EA's response to these "concerned parents":
Deal with it.

But it's going to be at least a year until The Sims 4!
Then again, you can just play Sims 1, 2, or 3. It's been there since the start. Kind of interesting how little outrage there has been about that, really.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Ok I lol'd at this
Reminds me of what happened with 'The Hunger Games'. After the movie, there were a bunch of..racists tweets around Twitter because they were appalled that "good characters were made black smh!!".
A site collected most of those racist tweets ..in a few hours most of the tweets dissapeared or the accoutns did.

Oh well..maybe by 2052?!

I think parents should be more worried about other things, then a gay character in a fucking video game. *shakes head*

Yeah, can't help but feel a little bit cynical about the timing of this. Anyway, congratulations for not designing your games based on what a group of bigots demand. Definitely going above the call there!

It's probably much more now than it was a few years ago. There was quite a big backlash in the gaming community recently as you can now have male/male options in ME3. (You can be a lesbian in the first two games but of course nobody complained about that.)
Conspiracy theory much? How is an internet poll going to tank their stock that they need to fake an anti-gay campaign against themselves?"Hey investors! We weren't voted the worst company in America because we are horrible to our customers. It was because we are really great at representing gay people!"
Stolen from reddit:
There are specifically gay characters in ME3.
Last time I checked, this is Mass Effect, not Gay the musical!
I thought I could make it work with Ashley because she sort of looked like a man!

Did you just call Jen... Ashley?
Isn't that the same way with the straight characters too?
They knew what they were getting into when they developed and published these games. And really, the only real complaining I've seen is from gay people saying that the relationships were poorly written or handled. The rest have been either hate mail simply for the sake of hate mail, or people insane enough to actually have an issue with homosexuality. I have no doubt those last two have existed for just as long as EA has, and if they really knew how to handle the situation they would have just kept ignoring them.
It's no coincidence that they've suddenly begun to complain about something that was easy to not react to before.

thats not sodom you idiot.

Fuck those people.
Problem isn't with them it's with Bioware.
They try to include gays and other things but problem is they are doing it veeery veeery bad.
I know some dude who is a gay and he won't go bonkers with his sexuality.
But by Bioware any Gay is sex crazed maniac who wants to fuck you. Dragon Age 2 comes to mind. That is more troubling than those people.

What happens in Sodom stays in Sodom.
They're not. They have always complained. EA is reacting now in an attempt to create a diversion or blame the increased hate they've been facing recently on something that isn't the real source.
Yeah, what an asshole, mixing up obscure Capcom characters.
