[QUOTE=Natrox;29903459]The kid might ask about it, in a sense of "Am I adopted?". And no, most kids don't realize it even if they are of a completely different race.

butbut, you said they might be forced to. she said she didn't notice. guess it was time to cause up a shitstorm about portal 2 and call up a shitty news station.

I woudn't have called the news either, but the dad's opinion is not stupid at all.
dad's opinion:
[quote=crybaby dad]Stapel also said the most people won't even think the joke is problematic. "If you're not an adoptive parent it's probably not that big a deal to you," he said. "If you are it's literally the worst thing I could have probably heard."[/quote]
yet again. it wasn't meant to be [b]nice[/b].

although he is exaggeratedly overdramatic about it.
maybe this is what he wants, to spark up some fucking attention. from random people, and he's achieving it. i'm talking about him, we're talking about him. he has won this battle. smooth

also i'm pretty sure all adoptive parents wouldn't have the same reaction as this guy.
cave johnson, we are done here.
I'm adopted and I didn't think it was offensive, actually found it funny.

the comments on that article are great
Shooters make fun of people because you keep killing people.
[QUOTE=Mattk50;29903907]the comments on that article are great[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about. It most consists of comment written by like some butthurt FPers, who all said the same thing in Tl;dr. I don't see any smug soccer mom comments or anything.
[QUOTE=rosthouse;29903396]And for a short preview of next weeks headline in "Slow news day": Valve also hates mute people.[/QUOTE]
Nah. If anything, they hate talkers. Gordon Freeman, Barney Calhoun (at least in Blue Shift), Adrian Shephard, Chell, and you could include P-body and Atlas, all their protagonists have been mute. The talkers are the ones that get killed and maimed.
You know cause it's not like that conversation would ever come up otherwise.

I don't understand. Children are well known for their mature behavior, and would certainly never maliciously point out that an adopted classmate's parents might not love them purely for the joy of seeing someone suffer.
People these days just can't take a fucking joke.
My older brother was adopted by my father, while my little brother was adopted from my cousin.
I can understand the parents concern; it can be hard for a child to understand why they're adopted, but at the end of the day it's really not news worthy and really not worth complaining about.
Alot of films have jokes about children being adopted, even in the film Cheaper by the Dozen the other kids accuse the other one being dropped off by the fedex man.

Portal also makes fun of fat people.
Poor Gabe :ohdear:
I laughed more than I should have.
I am overweight and portal made me cry :frown:
wtf portal 2 makes fun of psychopaths this is a outrage and I am offended because i am insane
i am gonna sue
Ban Portal 2 in all countries. I'm devastated that these parents had to face the most important conversation ever -- telling their child that they bought her because her real parents didn't want her.
Fuck that idiot parent.
[quote]WBTV contacted Sony, who distributes the game. They told us to contact Valve, the company that actually created the game. We did, and have not heard back from them.[/quote]
Dumbasses.
Just people overreacting at nothing. Move along, nothing to see here.

[QUOTE=triFeral;29900064]Next thing they're going to say that the kid was slightly overweight and super conscious about his weight, and the weight comments put him in a deep depression because he really thought they were about him.[/QUOTE]
I'd laugh if they contact Valve about the fat jokes in Portal 2, and Gabe just sends them a picture of himself. :v:
As an adopted person I feel/felt there was no malice in the "taunts". Laughed quite a bit actually. (love you wheatley)
Basicly: This is the embodiement of all soccer mom jokes into one actual event...
Okay hands up who gives a shit?
