No one is complaining about Link being straight, or Kratos being straight, or any non-customisable character being straight. Stop making up unrealistic situations to support your view. The problem here is that this is a game where you are encouraged to make a virtual version of YOURSELF, and have relationships that…

Who exactly is 'dictating' this project? The LGBT community is voicing it's disappointment and Nintendo, being a considerate company, have released a statement saying they will try to include them in future games. How does this affect you or any other straight gamers? It really doesn't. The game hasn't changed, but a…

You're completely missing the point, alongside everyone else in the comments section. This isn't a game where you are given a character to play as, and progress through a set storyline. This is a life simulator, where you are encouraged to create a virtual version of yourself, and enter virtual relationships that…

Of course it's not a realistic simulation, but it's promoting the idea of creating a virtual version of yourself. And yet, as with every other simulator, straight people don't have to worry about inclusion. Ever.

It's called a figure of speech, look it up. (If it really needs clarifying, I'm an atheist.)

You'd be arguing against a black person wanting representation in a life simulator? Wow man, that's fucked up. I guess coming to Kotaku (straight male paradise) was a bad idea if I expected support for equal representation.

I'm talking about the people who protested and fought for LGBT rights, and ultimately did change people's opinions, because same-sex marriage is becoming more and more accepted everyday whether you like it or not.

I'm going to assume this is a blindingly unfunny attempt at ~trolling~ because if not I'm praying for you to see the light.

Who are you to say that it makes no difference? Seeing same-sex relationships being available in a popular videogame might help a questioning teenager feel more accepted. And for straight, potentially homophobic kids, maybe they'll think it's not so strange. You don't know because you aren't one of them. What exactly…

The game is a relationship simulator. In real life, you can have same-sex relationships. Do I need to say anymore?

I am aware, but those were times when the view of homosexuality could be changed on a whim by whoever had power. LGBT rights, as in laws that protect us and ensure our freedom, did not exist until the 20th century. That is a fact. You're arguing that somehow people just 'became' accepting, well I'm sorry but that…

(I'm aware that this is off-topic but...) The natural course of things? Are you serious? Without gay rights protests, and without the outspoken LGBT people that you call 'harmful' to the cause, I'd probably be in prison right now for holding hands with my boyfriend in public. Or worse. People were beaten and murdered…

Tomb Raider isn't a dating sim, it's not trying to present a relatable representation of relationships. Tomodachi Life is a game where you can choose who you want to be, and (to some extent) who you want to date. You really cannot compare those two situations.

Can I ask how you think including same-sex relationships would change the game, other than allowing a wider range of people to enjoy it? The 'artistic expression' was to allow players to choose who to enter a relationship with. There is no set relationship, no formal storyline involving romance. This isn't the same…

Except Smash Bros. is not about relationships therefore the character's sexualities are irrelevant. This is a game where falling in love is pretty much essential to the experience, and as a representation of real life relationships, it makes sense to have (perfectly legal & harmless) same-sex relationships included.

'Same-sex marriage preachers' are the people who got us this far in the first place. If they weren't so vocal, marriage equality wouldn't even be considered because no one would be speaking up about it.

Another one of the biggest arguments in support of same-sex marriage is along the lines of 'it's a relationship between two fully consenting adults where no one is getting hurt'. What part of that is comparable to an adult entering a relationship with a child who is not ready to make decisions for themselves, or may…

Gay people are capable of playing video games too, you know.

Are you seriously comparing peadophilia with same-sex relationships? I thought that inane association died out decades ago. If gay relationships were possible in the game, it wouldn't affect your gaming experience in the slightest, seeing as you wouldn't feel the need to try it out, but it would make the game more…

She fired her management specifically so she would have more creative control. That's the storyline of the video. She directed it herself so I assume it was her idea, or she at least approved of it.
