Pretty sure they want gory violence as an ESRB descriptor too. The point is that there's a trend among these parents where they're okay with their kids playing violent video games, but will freak out if a tit is shown for a brief second. The LGBT thing is the icing on the cake. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:922354244] in Article - ...

I dont think its necessary but I could understand if they start including it in the small description, some parents would want to know and how they raise their children is their business. Same sex marriage is not gay privilege, its equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. Like churches don't <cite>Malfunction posted [p:922354342] in Article - ...

If a parent doesnt find LGBT stuff offensive in the slightest then it wouldn't change anything for them right? Other than tell every LGBT person that they are different and worthy of warning people about their apparent danger. It has nothing to do with 'danger'it has to do with religious parents trying to raise their children and not wanting certain influences. The same way some wouldn't want to buy kids games with gun violence or drug use. Yes, because they view "the gays" as dangerous people who want to corrupt their sweet little child. --- https://imgur.com/BGbZK <cite>Funkydog posted [p:922354350] in Article - ...
