Gamers pwn anti-LGBT bigotry, w00t! | What Would JT Do?

A while back various groups dragging the word ?family? through the dirt were pissed at Bioware for the inclusion of same-sex relationships in Star Wars: The Old Republic.? They were all calling for a boycott of Bioware for daring to note that same-sex relationships, y?know?happen.? Fortunately, Bioware was able to tell them, pretty much without a hint of concern, to take a hike.

Why?? Because gamers don?t give a shit.

Seven out of ten gamers are comfortable with same-sex relationships in games, according to a new survey of IGN readers.

When asked if the controversial theme of same-sex relationships has a place in games, 69% of respondents to a recent IGN survey said either ?absolutely? or ?why not? Only 9% said that same-sex relationships should ?never? be in games.

You may see me or other gamers use the term ?w00t!? in celebration.? The term originated as an acronym during games like counter-strike back in the day.? It stood for, ?We Owned the Other Team.?

In the face of a boycott doomed to failure because the gamer community doesn?t share their prejudice, I can?t think of a better thing to say than, ?w00t!?? :) ? The concept of family doesn?t include hating others for the non-crime of loving who they please.

Well-played, gamers.? You?re my kind of people.
