Russian MPs accuse FIFA 17 of 'gay propaganda'

I get it, memes are funny and all.

But Russia actively persecutes gay people, many LGBT individuals are killed there simply for being who they are.

That's not okay and I don't think we should make light of that attitude by making this a joke thread.

I dunno. It's a horrible state of affairs, I agree. But we should celebrate these gay glitches for daring to be so unapologetically gay. Also, they would probably piss Putin off a lot, which is a huge plus

I don't get why this show so popular

The writing and character are good, much better than in a show like Free imo.

Also you can tell they spent a lot of their money on the art and music in the rink, but outside the rink the backgrounds are gorgeous as well.

I dig it.

Read on Reddit: "In heaven they don't have a**holes. Humans got it after Adam ate the apple. So hence, gayness won't be on the minds of humans in heaven. If gays had big enough ear holes they would be doing that also. Any hole they can fit in they fall in love with."

I didn't know to laugh or to be silent...
The words of someone who has definitely whacked it to gay porn.

I'd be surprised to hear this rhetoric from anyone who isn't a flaming closet case. Hint: it's their fixation on the mechanics of gay sex that gives them away.

One of the most popular young celebs in Japan is a 17ish year old ice skater. Not sure why or how hes so popular but he is. Young tweens love him, so do older up to mid 30s+ ice skating fans. Hence why this show was made, gotta cash in while the gettins good.
 
Yeah, of course. The mediocre ending to Mass Effect 3 or that Madden 07 wasn't as good as NFL 2K5 is much more important. Such is the warped, sheltered reality of the videogame enthusiast. The same attitude powered the GamerGate movement.

What, preferring NFL 2K over Madden puts you on the same level as a gator?

LGBTQ treatment in Russia is truly abhorrent.
I don't think Fifa 17 will be banned for rainbow shoelaces, when Mass Effect and Dragon Age are not
 
It's well-written, well-animated, and many people are starved for anime that presents gay relationships as something normal.

Unsure what's perplexing about this.



Because it's a much lower framerate for GIF purposes.

That said, this thread is not about Yuri on Ice.

WAIT YURI ON ICE IS ACTUALLY ABOUT GAY RELATIONSHIPS? THEY ARE ACTUALLY GAY IN THE SHOW?

I thought it was like Free where the internet just kinda sorta implied it but it was never stated.

I don't...

I need to watch it now.

I have to admit my first thought was "fuck, but what about the gay glitches now?" and half expected some shit heel over there got in a huff discovering those.

But this is still bullshit. More bullshit because it actively is trying to penalize a company for trying to do something positive for them rather than just getting worked up over funny glitches like I feared, actually. I really fucking hate the leadership of that country.

I don't get the term "gay propaganda",it's like saying " Electromagnetism propaganda" or " Germ theory propaganda". Homosexuality is not a point of view it's a biological fact. Don't the kids in Russia have access to the free internet? It won't take long for a kid to learn 'herteronormative family values' is the real propaganda. The law is so fucking dumb.

I get the impression that either they go along with this bullshit later in life, or become so disillusioned that they'd rather leave the country when grown up. With how things seem to be run it really does seem hopeless to effectively change the government.

At first I was going to post "It's gaming side, what do you expect" then I checked the tab up top

I was thinking that too, but there are only so many ways you can say "Russia fucking sucks"

Plus the gifs did cheer me up a bit after reading the OP which was just depressing, especially after coming from the gay Ellie thread on gaming side which is a total mess.

That being said, I'm totally expecting the Russian world cup to result in a lot of gay deaths and a lot of brushing it under the rug because "Russia gonna Russia"

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Any FIFA glitch gifs involving the Russian national team? There must be some around.

I think it's really good of EA to show support to the LGBT community, I hope they continue this for every following FIFA.

Annoying Russia is a nice bonus too.
