why do people care about this shit
or on the flip side why are people overly offended by him doing it
[QUOTE=Swilly;49091688]And statistically speaking there would still be gay, lesbian, asexual, trans and genderqueer people.
Even in the wasteland.[/QUOTE]
Although among the small cut of the people who are actually important in a game plot, it's fairly probable that they're all straight, whereas it's [i]ridiculously[/i] improbable that every one of them happen to be bisexual.
At least to my understanding, actual bisexual (not counting the bi-curious) people are a minority even compared to homosexuals.
So I mean, if you wanted to be [i]statistically[/i] correct, the majority of characters should be straight, with a few LGBT characters here and there, since they are inarguably a minority.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;49091920]I could see that trend easily changing in Mass Effect's case, where people are openly often fucking aliens and whatnot, wouldn't be a stretch to say that most people are willing to go either way.
Of course that's in Mass Effect's case, FO4's is just laziness.[/QUOTE]
Well, true. Mass Effect is way in the future, who the fuck knows what could happen to that kinda shit in some hypothetical future hundreds of years off.
I think the part people have complained about with it is primarily that they changed a character that was originally straight into being bisexual though? I'm not really sure, not a big ME fan personally.
[QUOTE=elowin;49083917]It's essentially impossible not to do it. Putting people into categories is pretty much essential for human society, because obviously it's not possible to deal with every single person on a completely individual basis. It sucks, but it's necessary.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry, but no. You're talking about stereotyping SJWs, not what's [I]essential to human society.[/I]
Let me just jump in to say that the generalization of individuals plays a big role in a huge amount of society's issues; racism & discrimination, to name a couple. Ever since I realized what a hypocrite I was for flaming fandoms because of their loud minorities, I've strived to hold neutral & reasonable opinions, logically regarding people either [B]personally[/B] or solely based on something they [B]all[/B] have in common.
To hear someone defend this as something [I]essentially impossible not to do[/I] is something else. That's just called being simple. If you [I]can't deal with everyone on an individual basis[/I], don't - doing it anyway is not the solution. Recognize a group's majorities and minorities, and understand how little a few views actually tell about a person.
