Hmm how would you like to see values such as my own presented in a different game?
Well without making too many assumptions about your exact position (since I’m still waiting for an explanation on what your exact position is, and more importantly, why). I can imagine a setting for a game, in which an arranged marriage to someone of the opposite sex is expected, due to social conventions. Imagine a sort of game of thrones like setting, where those of nobility are expected to produce an heir, yet are of a different persuasion than what is accepted in their society, which leads to disagreements among fellow nobility (game of thrones touched upon this subject in regards to King Rhenly, if you’re familiar with the show). I’m fine with your kind of position being represented in such a way in a videogame or any other medium. Because there’s a valid reason why nobility would disapprove of it.
Ah, so you suspect that my view springs from an inherent social norm and/or religion. Well, with that in mind, let me show you otherwise. If you are an atheist, it is likely that you do not believe that my morality was given by a deity, but was instead a self-generated inspiration created by long deceased ancestors. If my views were created by some long-dead ancestor (hypothetically speaking) then my disagreement with you is likely rooted to their predispositions and theories that they arrived at with no outside influence. If the sentient creatures of Tyria are anything like ourselves, it is likely that the civil and just populous arrived at similar conclusions with or without the aid of supernatural beings and currently are in as much a disagreement as you and I over this subject. Now, let’s see how this would break down by Tyrian races.
Sylvari: I doubt any would care, if they did, it would be few and far between with most not even understanding why we disagree. However, there are those few deviant Sylvari that go against the flow and may agree with me, but this would be like .000001% of their civil population, if that. Unless, of course, the Sylvari have been misrepresented up until this point and there are specifically "heterosexual"as well as specifically “homosexual”, instead of all being pansexual. But that is another discussion.
Asura: Most would be too busy with work to discuss social issues, and would hurl comments like “bookah” at the both of us for wasting their time. However, if a Asura was working with genetics, he/she may take a view such as my own. And then he would invariably get blown up or eaten by one of his experiments.
Norn: The Norn are likely to advocate heterosexuality so that their young may carry on their legacy, that is what they are all about, to them nothing else make sense. That said they are drunk half the time and “slips” in this stance happen from time to time. Mostly, they wouldn’t understand your views, but they wouldn’t give you grief over it either.
Charr: Eh, it is hard to say with the Charr. Rox sounded hesitant to ask Kas and Jory about their exact relationship. But they don’t hold our standards of family, so they likely wouldn’t see the big deal. I’d say they would likely fire a cannon at me for implying anything that resembles a belief system or a morality more complex than “follow your orders”.
Human: Same positions as you and me. Accepting, but not always “comfortable or approving” with the subject.
Back on subject, I just didn’t appreciate the attempt to romanticize Kas and Jory’s relationship and make it so central to the story. If I offended anyone, it was not my intent. Please, step into my shoes on this matter.
