General

This topic was supposed to be non-serious, guys, and it's turned into a thread in which several homohating comments have been posted. Basil Market (believe it or not) doesn't practise hatred towards anybody. Homophobic reasoning, okay. But homo[i]hating[/i] comments, no. They receive the same punishment as racist and sexist comments.

They believe in cooties and you expect them to fall in love with the same sex?[/quote]

Such a good point you got there! LOL!

yea i agree it wrong.
but the main reason is if parents find out it encourages gay marriages they wont allow the kid to play and they will lose alot of players.

its biased to say its wrong or anything. but young childrens play it, and i dont think anyones' parent will want their child to play something that has gay marriages.

You'd be surprised how strict Korea is about marriage....

9. divorce
11. gay sex
12. taking/paying interest
33. crossdressing
48. Putting pictures of beings with souls on clothing, curtains, rocks and any other items
54. Wearing one's clothes too long, i.e. below the ankles
56. Men wearing silk & gold[/quote]

Most of these, I was already aware were against my religion. The only one that you mentioned in your post that surprised me was #54. I'm going to search that to see what other sites say about it.

some of you kids have a closed mind 0.o everyone, ghey, bi or straight if they love each other should be able to get married no matter what we're all the same, all our needs are the same just different people

TS: i think it's because in korea there is no gay marriages, but they're fine with their flambouyant guys crossing dressing, i still think it's a pretty cool idea ^_^ im not gay lol but i have a few gay friends and they're no different than us

I'm a Muslim. Show me this link.

We dun lyk teh ghays

[quote=Flare3214]It doesn't cause as many problems as allowing gay marriage. The idea alone is a hot topic in politics in the US. So by not allowing it they avoid many problems, such as complaints from parents and people telling them why they SHOULDN'T allow gay marriage on a game.[/quote]

If I was a game company I'd just go "Haters gonna hate"
Or change marriage to civil partnership or something.

[quote=Rafflesia]So just because your religion says being gay is bad, it should be illegal?
Also, you know what else the Bible also said is bad? These things. http://www.bspcn.com/2009/06/23/11-things-the-bible-bans-but-you-do-anyway/[/quote]

How do you know he is a Christian?

[quote=hipoke]It'd be way too much controversy over such a small topic that they can easily avoid. If they did change that, BAM Maplestory would be on the news.[/quote]

First MMORPG to allow gay marriage?
Though that wouldn't be true, I've been married to a friend of mine on another game for... 5-6 years now.

Nexon is homophobic.

@LowFatMuffin: But is that from "free thinking" or were they just brainwashed into thinking that? Hmmm?

[quote=carot136]Why do you care? Unless you want a gay marrage which is gay >.<.[/quote]

I'd be surprised if a homosexual marriage were straight.

[quote=Cerrato897]You beat me to it...

My religious beliefs state that being gay is a sin. Sin equals bad.[/quote]

I don't like getting into these types of arguments, but you shouldn't think what someone tells you to because it matches your belief, but rather because it makes sense to you.
Whether that applies to you or not I can't tell, just super saiyan.

@CheifWarking: Good point.

@shairn: its not as creepy as confused look at least >.<

@CheifWarking: Thanks, eyes are a bit creepy though.

@shairn: your avatar would make a pretty girl actually

[quote=Artlie]wow, there's a bunch of ignorant/misinformed/homophobic/stupid/conformists/idiotic people on basil.[/quote]

So I'm an ignorant, misinformed person for not agreeing with your opinion, and it's not homophobia. I'm not scared of them. They're just wrong in my opinion.

[quote=CheifWarking]who would he marry? the dude with the mask, the old dude, the guy next to the masked guy or speglemann?

maybe they just want us to express ourselves more? o.o[/quote]

I would marry all of them.

Because bringing issues like that into a children's game would only drag them farther into the gutter.
They have "friendship rings" you can use if you want to seem like a couple, but I do not support the idea of gay marriage being added into the game.
Nexon doesn't need any more to add to their already bad reputation.

because obviously nexon america thinks its wrong, and in real life, some religions dont accept same sex marriage.

Now in Korea, guys being "cute" is the same as closely resembling to females.
There are no such things as masculine hairy men over there anymore o.o

Because it's not allowed in America. Don't listen to the narrow-minded people saying that it's "not okay"; I'm not saying it is or that I like homosexuality, but who's to say who has to like what? Seriously.

I guess it has something to do with disease control.

[quote=LowFatMuffin]Less people that maple maplestory=Less Nx byers=Less Nx bought=Less money for Nexon.[/quote]

Thats pretty much, the only reason

Because it is a game for "children".
They believe in cooties and you expect them to fall in love with the same sex?

[quote=noobaloob]i would marry you[/quote]

who would he marry? the dude with the mask, the old dude, the guy next to the masked guy or speglemann?

maybe they just want us to express ourselves more? o.o

Because it's a game.

Just a note, I'm not totally srs, just thought this was kinda funny.

Because it's wrong.

Are people stupid or something, how can nexon allow something that isn't allowed ? >.<

cross dress for Anti bullying

[quote=LowFatMuffin]The reason Nexon doesn't allow Homosexual marrige is because there would be more of an outrage against them if the did allow it than if they didn't. Also, kids moms' wouldn't let them play Maple because of homosexual marrige. Less people that maple maplestory=Less Nx byers=Less Nx bought=Less money for Nexon.

I'm not saying that Nexon is greedy, I'm saying that they would rather make lots of money over less money, as any company would/should.[/quote]

Kids' moms wouldn't let them play maple anyway if they knew you get married on a game.

Very good point.

idk Kids play this game. And although people say they`d rather have there kids know about the real world, then it hidden from them, there are a lot of parents out there that dont want there kids to know about it. So yea, they would probably complain o.o
