Gay news site slams "misinformed" Games Radar article

[VampDude]

I can see that a BAN will made shortly by souLLy! lol

[alienanthropologist]

Angela Merkel should also go ahead with a ban. I thought they'd got rid of the rubbish in Germany long ago. Obviously I was mistaken.

[ShoShoKid]

That's not my problem.

LOL, man you are so desperate to be right in argument there is no chance of winning.

[-=me=-]

seriously, whats the problem with being gay?
1) its genetic
2) its not their fault
3) they're not any worse than "playas or pimps"

so what if they are different, ignorant catholics dont rule the world.

[Yobumtin]

They are a lot better then players a pimps since gays and players and pimps are three separate things. You're right about a lot of the time its not their fault.

But this debate has turned around. Its sort of now an attack on certain users.

[JKKDARK]

1) its genetic
2) its not their fault

Prove it

No the other two points are things you DO care about it seems.

Do you know what this topic is about?

I completely fail to see what AIDS has to do with gay people beeing under-represented in video games.

In addition I also fail to see what your problem with gay people is when at the same time you are a fan of Glam Metal and gay bands like Judas Priest.


Also in a last attempt to correct your entirely wrong stereotypical myth of how the AIDS virus does spread I'd like to quote ShoShoKid:

JKKdark, here is the deal. Straight people are just as vulnerable to HIV as homosexuals. HIV is blood borne, and any activity that exposed your blood to the secretions of another person will increase your risk, such as IV drug use and sex. Maybe the reason it seems the majority of people with HIV are men is because unprotected anal sex is a huge risk due to the abrasions that are caused.

A good explanation for the perception as to why AIDS seem to be a "gay desease" was posted by RibStabsHeart:

The reason why AIDS has affected gay men more than other groups is due to the obvious fact about condoms. Why do 90% of people wear condoms? So that they don't have chidren. Another interesting thing that you may have learned in sex class (aside from the fact that AIDS is spread through blood and bodily fluids such as vaginal secretions and semen) is that anal sex does not yield children! Since gay men do not have the obvious need for a condom as much as straight men do, more of them have unprotected sex with casual partners than straight men do. This leads to a gay man's higher chance of contracting AIDS than a straight man, just due to the fact that they don't absolutely NEED a condom as much as straight men do.

As for straight men that have died from AIDS, the death is absolutely irrelevent. Anyone who has constracted it is sufficient, so lets start a list of that.
(Note that AIDS is not a reason for death: it simply knocks the white blood cells out of commission so that minor things such as the common cold can kill you due to a lack of white cells to fight off the virii. So people do not DIE from aids, they die from its effects on their immune system).

I know for sure that rapper Eazy-E died from complications from AIDS. And likewise, Magic Johnson contracted AIDS , but has been able to keep it controlled and almost cured due to his immense wealth and ability to afford drugs.

Thats two off the top of my head, lets continue on with this list.

Also, please note that the media tried to portray AIDS as a "gay disease" for quite some time, so many straight people that had it and died from it may have been said to have been killed from the flu, rather than AIDS (in order to not have the stigma of dying from a incorrectly named "gay virus"). Just something to think about.

In order to prevent further gay bashing I will close this thread now. devdj and Tetris999 have been banned. We don't need people like them spamming our forums. Please feel free to continue your discussions about your problems with homosexuality or why you don't have a problem with AIDS in our offtopic forum.
