Destiny has been my escape from the world since year 1. Being a single dad and working 2 full time jobs, my brother introduced me to Destiny so that we could keep in touch and help me get away from it all for a moment. And through life's up and downs and the madness that our culture has came down with recently, Destiny was always there to put a pause on everything. I never minded the short comings of the games, I had fun playing with family and made some friends along the way. The game and it's story were simple and far away from life's schnanigans.
As my son got older, I would introduce him to the game as well. He and I enjoy playing the simpler parts of the game together. I was really looking forward to taking him on raids and challenging him with pvp as he got older. We both were looking anxiously forward to the upcoming LightFall and I was fully prepared to drop the 200 for both of us to play and progress together. However, I don't think that's gonna happen now.
It appears that Destiny just threw its two cents into the political/cultural arena with the -blam!- relationship between Saint 14 and Orisis. Throughout its life, Destiny has not displayed a drop of romantic tendencies, whether through it's lore (to the best of my knowledge) nor through the playable storyline. For it's debut love story however, they showcase an "in your face" gay kiss. These observations lead me to believe, the decision is completely political. And because of this decision, I don't see my self spending another cent on Destiny.
Political and cultural issues have been infecting our sources of entertainment far more than I like. Their introduction to our entertainments have drained the life and fun out of the games, movies, tv shows, sports, we utilize to zombie out for a moment and recharge before returning to life's responsibilities. Destiny was a small corner of my universe were I could avoid it but it seems their dark tentacles have started to wrapped around this world as well.
I have no illusion that my post should determine what Destiny decides to do with their game. This isn't my game, I just play with it as it comes. But if this is the way Destiny decides to go, then all I can do and let it go. Which is a shame; I and my family enjoyed this game for what it was.

I have no intention of questioning your decisions to move away from Destiny if you feel that some aspect of the story doesn't sit well with you. It's entirely your choice. But, in regards to something you stated, I would like to voice my observation. We live in a society where any and every form of entertainment, whether directly or indirectly, is influenced by events occurring in our real lives. I understand the idea of wanting to escape the tumultuous times we find ourselves in. But things will bleed in, especially when it comes to such hot-button topics as orientation, politics, and religion. It's what creative people often draw upon for inspiration. My point being, unless a person decides to move to a monastery in the Himalayas or an igloo in Antartica, you'd be hard pressed to truly shut it all out. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

People only seem to recognise the cultural and political ‘infecting’ their entertainment when it’s something they don’t like. Let’s be honest, you’d rather pretend gay people don’t exist. Rather than expecting everyone to bow to your prejudice, maybe you should open up your mind just a teeny tiny bit. Try a little kindness and acceptance. It’ll be better for you, your family and everyone else as well.

If gay is what's throwing you off, you should have left at the start of D2, if not earlier. If LGBT representation is what is throwing you off, go back in time. As for the rest of us, we'll keep moving forward.
