Alright, the "gay rights decision" is long gone, no need to make a "pride shader" about it.
[ORIGINAL POST:"Political advertising does not belong in Destiny"]And that includes anything like the "gay pride" shader I've been hearing. Destiny is NOT politics. We do not need propaganda in an entertainment source where people of all ages (ahem, children) and political beliefs are welcome. We do not need to make a political mess in a game which is meant for entertainment ONLY.[i] The best way to clean up a mess? Don't make one.[/i]
Edit:
I'm just gonna post this sonner rather than later: We do not need a "gay/pride" shader/class/item. We know that historic moment where gay marriage was legalized, cool. But days have passed, and it's over. Let's focus our attention elsewhere. The gay rights decision was a political event. Now I don't want someone coming onto Destiny and finding something offending to them, and then another person gets happy and feels promoted, perhaps special. But let's get the point straight: It's nothing special. It used to be on that historic day, but it's over, out of sight and out of mind just like everything else. No need for attention. I realize some people's excitement, but other people find Destiny a place to escape the real world and entertain themselves.
TLDR: Real worlds and virtual worlds don't mix well. Destiny is meant to entertain not to inform people of political/disputed topics and issues.
Some logical thinking here:
1)Don't call out the person, your attention is on the issue at hand in most cases.
2)Use FACTS, not sympathetic placeholders.
3)Be bold to back down and say you're wrong, admit things and don't be a coward.

5 RepliesBut...But...But.... You can't talk bad about gay people like that! You [b][i][u]must[/u][/i][/b] support them or you are a bigot! I mean come on, how insensitive can you be? Against Bungie making a gay pride shader. The nerve! People are absolutely justified in chastising you. Hell, I'd feed you to a rancor myself! Going against anything associated with gay people is frowned upon in this establishment! Your post will be hastily removed by Ninjas and your account banned. And rightfully so. The media has practically [i]forced[/i] everyone to support gays. You shouldn't be any different. First, if someone famous came out, it would be all over the news! Hell, Micheal Sam got a NFL job out of it...EVEN THOUGH HE IS TERRIBLE!!!!! (I woulda said he sucks but that would have been too far). You have some freaking nerve OP, going against mainstream thought. What's next? You're going to tell me it's against the Bible or something? [i]Newsflash:[/i] No one reads the Bible enough to know! I guess next your going to tell me bestiality is wrong too huh?

If they get a gay shader, we get a straight shader. Giving special treatment to a group ultimately ends up excluding them.
-
Yeah, I don't think we really need emblems showing off where you like to put your dick.
-
Are people really thinking bungie is going to give two shits about gays having the right to get married? No. Good for them! But don't get your hopes up lmfaoo
-
In some states you can be fired for being gay. So yeah LGBT totally won the battle already....

No need for a gay shader, they made the awoken. Become a living rainbow!

55 RepliesFirst of all the gay rights decision isn't "long gone". It just happened like a week ago. Secondly I think it's great that Bungie is considering adding in something to support that decision. If the Bungie studio feels strongly about it they should be able to do it without having to worry about offending unnecessarily aggressive homophobes. Bungie did the Nepal donation promo when they needed disaster relief and no one complained about that one bit. Id respect Bungie for being one of the few game developers brave enough to actually take a stand in an important issue like this. To spark a change in a country's way of thinking you first have to change your own way of thinking. End the cycle of bigotry and whatnot. Im not saying a shader is going to do that but its a nice sentiment. If its that big of a deal they can make it an optional promo for people in my opinion. At the same side of the spectrum i would understand if Bungie did decide to do nothing in honor of the decision because at the end of the day they are a business and need to think about how it would affect their profits if they had thousands of homophobic, angry, redneck, bigots on their hands. All i can really say is that bungie should do whats right in their own eyes. A lot of people fought a long hard battle to finally get the rights they deserved and to honor that would be incredible. . but the main thing Bungie REALLY needs to do without a shadow of a doubt is nerf the Thorn in PvP. . i mean really. . thats a no-brainer (homophobe or not)..

1 ReplyThings no company should get involved with. 1. Religion 2. LGBT Rights Leave those out of video games unless you want to cater to a certain group. Prepare to lose many others if you do.

24 RepliesEdited by Zephyr: 6/29/2015 7:27:44 PMI don't hate gay people because they're gay. I hate them because they whine more than the people on these forums and are so so offended that they have to drive another block for a cake. The fact someone doesn't agree with being gay must mean that said person is a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url], a hitter worshiper and endorses slavery. What's worst, is that they want their opinion respected, when they can't respect the opposing opinions. I've met 1 gay person who was reasonable and not acting like a bitch about how badly he was being "oppressed". That guy was awesome. All the rest fell into this stereotype perfectly. Edit: oh.. That's banned word.. Hm.

24 RepliesEdited by DFRO1311: 7/1/2015 4:57:06 AMI dont see a black rights shader so stfu(not op but people hating on him). Gays arent special snowflakes( but they all seem to think they are) and dont deserve something special from this game. Go celebrate outside of fake video games designed to get away from reality. Congrats on your victory but you wanted equality well here you have it. Get used to getting nothing like the rest of us. Whoever replies to this with hate- I will not give a single fck to what you type. So dont expect a reply. Youre not hurting my feelings or changing my mind. Go ahead and type away.

Edited by Bloorax: 7/1/2015 6:03:39 AMAll I know is that when a pride march includes a re-enactment of Jesus, portraying him as a homosexual, that is the last straw. I will acknowledge you, I will tolerate you, and even if I believe your lifestyle is wrong I will not use force against you. But if your actions include insulting a religion simply out of spite, then quite frankly I have no further patience for you. Edit: Also, what the -blam!-ing hell is this post doing here, wrong section.

I highly doubt that in the distant future Eva Levante would care enough about an ancient political decision on another continent to make a shader referencing it. Surely we can all accept that Destiny is set so far in the future that such petty worries would have been set aside? Do we really think that the citizens of the City care about such things now anyway? It's not like they adhere to any of these ancient religions - they quite clearly carry out practises best defined as "Traveller worship"... and I doubt that the Traveller cares so much about Guardian relationships as it does about self preservation and continuing to fight. ------- That aside, I see no problem with a casual rainbow emblem appearing in game - rainbows after all remind us of the way the [b]light[/b] splits. They call forth ideas about new beginnings, light after turmoil, and hope. I'm sure that the Speaker would consider a rainbow under the Traveller to be auspicious.

39 RepliesEdited by xcutioner_0: 6/29/2015 8:29:49 PMDoesn't matter to me whether or not they make the shader/emblem, I just want people to accept the fact that it's legal now and you can't do shit to change it. Everybody has a right to be who they are regardless of skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Nobody, and I mean [b]nobody[/b], has the right to insult people because of that. BTW I'm straight and I'm proud to say that I support LGBT and was in the Pride Parade in Canada this year. How many of you can say that without being trolls, bigots, racists, or extemely prejudice Christians? I'll be waiting for the replies.

5 RepliesIf they do this, then it is only fair and in the interests of this new equality push is that I would like a Jesus shader. I think that this whole thing of if you aren't gay or don't support gay then you are a biggot. Same could be said on the reverse. You want me to empathic with your position then you must empathize with mine. If not it's simply called HYPOCRACY!

I still want a rainbow shader regardless
