“I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexuality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.” – Bob Hope, 1976-ish
“Nintendo’s apology for lack of support for same-sex relationships is a progressive step” – National Post headline, 2014
We must not deviate from The Script.
Anyone who does goes to Special Ed for the vice grip treatment.
I can hardly wait ’til we’re all cyborgs.
So now we get to see pink Super Mario chase and marry his darling purple Super Mario?
One commenter below the article asks sarcastically “But what of the transsexuals, bisexuals, questioning, two-spirited, genderqueer, intersexed, and omnidirectionals? Will they be excluded from full participation in future editions? Is Nintendo transphobic?”
They’ll all get their turn… read the U.S. Armed Forces Transgender report.
I predict in another quarter century the cute putdown “I don’t date outside my species” will seem as politically incorrect, “puerile,” and “offensive” as Hope’s gag is now to obscure National Review functionaries.
Unless of course the Caliphate has been reinstated as Western civilization continues apce to propel itself toward Hell in a handbasket.
Wimps. Nothing more then simple gutless,panty-waisted wimps.Now I now why I never bought Nintdo,Japan crap.
Progressive fascism is not an aberration but rather an inherent feature. The Nazis nationalized the tribal tendency to discriminate against homosexuals et al (rationalized by the popularity of Eugenics) while today’s progressives are attempting to nationalize their perspective of tolerance which is a celebration of whatever behavior or identity group is being pandered. Both forms of fascism use the state to enforce “official” discrimination rather than treat citizenry equally while leaving the citizenry free to discriminate where the rule of law, morality, property rights, free will, and free speech will sort things out just fine. Discrimination is an act of free will and reason (or lack thereof). It may not always be pretty but it is the cost of liberty. The alternative is a society where humanity is being reduced to the capacity of ants.
Why can’t they just use their imaginations when playing the game, after all, Mother Nature goofed, they were given the wrong sex organs and attractions so they must have to call on their imaginations to compensate in other areas of life. Beyond sexuality, which so many seem to be obsessed with, turning the world upside down over every little triviality and being offended seems to be a full time concern for the Leftards.
Must be one helluva problem, games are so important.
“The alternative is a society where humanity is being reduced to the capacity of ants.”
The alternative has been in motion since the creation of the HRC’s and the war against opinions that don’t fit the progressive mindset.
Discrimination is not a sin…..by definition it means making a choice…….no wait that is their problem…they don’t want to allow us choice…..I’ll be alright….mebbe…..
Yesterday I watched a sci-fiction movie from 1970’s (produced in Eastern Europe) about world populated only by feminist women . The last two men – who had been discovered by an archaeology team – are going together to bed (dressed) to stay warm, one commenting: “it’s like back in the army”. There is zero, none, nothing of homosexual innuendo in that scene.
The experimentation with social pyrotechnics will eventually backfire. At the end the nature always win.
“So score one for activism….and score a point for a Company that many have seen as falling behind the times in recent years…They’ve just given us a big indicator that they’re willing to change in significant ways…”
And score one for Jamie MacMaster who cancelled his subscription to the National Post on Tuesday evening past because he was sick to death of crappy commentary like this that is slowly turning the paper into just another red rag.

“Discrimination is not a sin…..by definition it means making a choice”
Absolutly.
In fact most of them appear to HATE us, many of us have a choice to hate back.
Myself it’s not about choice, I was born hating the left and they have maginalized and abused my human rights with thier bigotry ever since!
Beware anytime the presstitute media labels anything “progressive” – it’s code for Rolling out another facist cultural/social pogrom.
Don’t worry too much about Nintendo. The Japanese are the masters of the non-apology apology. Japan is too traditional a culture, and dating sims far too much a part of Asian pop culture for them to bow to this pressure, in the next version or any other.
Fascist fags wherever you look these days.
The comments to this NP article were great, especially our blog hostess.
I am getting so sick of hearing about this crap in almost every media and day after day . All hail the new overlords of society and bend over.

At least my comment didn’t get rejected (for the moment). Will see if it gets through the SDA filter:
Agreed. Next we’ll have the sheep shaggers wanting to be able to wed their ewe (or ram depending on which way they swing) and the foot fetishists raising cain about the lack of 5′ shoe icons in the game.
The enormous variety of perversions in the sexual area was minutely cataloged by Kraft Ebbing in his massive 1920’s tome Psychopathia sexualis. The only difference now is that the perverts are demanding that their perversion be celebrated instead of being relegated to the realm of psychopathology where it belongs.
It’s as if bulimics were to demand to be allowed to bring a bucket into an expensive restaurant where they could binge and purge at their table because it was their “right” to do so. At least we haven’t reached that point yet (and I hope I haven’t given the bulimic lobby a goal to strive for), but perversions should take place in ones private home.
I see that the comment section at the FP has been removed entirely. I guess the comments weren’t politically correct enough for them.
