Quote:LOS ANGELES (CBSDC/AP) — Nintendo isn’t allowing gamers to play as gay in an upcoming life simulator game.

The publisher of such gaming franchises as “The Legend of Zelda” and “Mario Bros.” said Tuesday it wouldn’t bow to pressure to allow players to engage in romantic activities with characters of the same sex in English editions of “Tomodachi Life.” This follows a social media campaign launched by fans last month seeking virtual equality for the game’s characters, which are modeled after real people.

“Nintendo never intended to make any form of social commentary with the launch of ‘Tomodachi Life,’” Nintendo of America Inc. said in a statement. “The relationship options in the game represent a playful alternate world rather than a real-life simulation. We hope that all of our fans will see that ‘Tomodachi Life’ was intended to be a whimsical and quirky game, and that we were absolutely not trying to provide social commentary.”

Sounds like a bigoted CEO that should be fired.

I'm a liberal and think that these people wanting to have gay video game charter options are just plain stupid. Video games? Really??? Come on man.

Good. I think that demanding "equality" in every medium or situation goes way beyond being sensitive towards minorities.

The Japanese don't try to put everything in a sexual connotation like Americans do.

I'm sure the liberals see this as a catastrophic situation.
