You're not the only one sick of seeing this pandering crap. I'm all for folks being who they want to be but this Pride crap is so beyond tedious and irritating at this point.

I think Sloth and Gluttony work better together.

I was going with darthspudius' "tedious and irritating" bit, but you're definitely right there.

Yeah, I hope TheEndedSkull's comment gets modded, whatever one thinks about the larger argument, his insults against other users (while complaining about breaches of the code of conduct! Zero self-awareness) shouldn't be allowed to stand.

It looks to me that "TheEndedSkull" is a troll account and should be removed based on reason alone.

Alexim: The Pride Month is not political per se, the political factions are the ones who exploit it, for better or worse.
But who created the pride months that companies like GOG/Steam/etc use for their own gain, and why? ;)

LGBT are just the latest group/cause being used to various ends(in this case to sell games)......and my guess is they sadly won't be the last.

Agreed its like the era of film when this was a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaxploitation games even had something like that far awhile seems the LGBTQ+ groups are the new ones to get that in media as a whole now .. Not that I mind them in the spot light.. Just I hate the fact its used in a shady/scummy way to make more money usually near or around a specific month as a whole ..

PanzerFranzz: GOG, the reason a lot of us shop here is because you don`t throw politics in our face. Having a "Pride Month" selection is clearly doing so. For what its worth, I am not going to buy as many games here anymore because of the role you are playing in spreading political propaganda and normalizing this behavior in a forum where children could be exposed to it. If possible, I will stick to places like steam that do not throw the politics of their HR manager in the face of their customers.

Sad.

[Moderated by SmollestLight: Inappropriate as well as stirring a political discussion which has nothing to do with a video game, which is against COC]
I think you should find another place to buy https://store.steampowered.com/sale/lgbtq-sale/

BlueMooner: As always, we have people bitching and complaining about gays, and Pride, and shoving their anti-gay homophobia down everybody's throats. Never complaining about all the heterosexuality shoved in our faces, or all the non-stop pandering to hets in every form of media, every minute of every day. Us having to see a million hets is "nothing", but you having to see one gay is simply beyond the pale, and completely "unfair" to you. How incredibly, staggeringly selfishly self-centered and bigoted.

Stop shoving your heterosexuality in our faces, stop pushing your het agenda into games and movies and books, stop flaunting your degeneracy in front of decent people and stop recruiting kids into your perversion. Stop acting like your unnatural desires are normal, and stop politicizing games when most of us just want to relax and not have to deal with your messaging forced down our throats.

You don't like even the tiniest scrap of anything positive for gays?? Well you're going to have a terrible life, because gays are everywhere, they're not going to go away, and they're not going to spend their lives in the closet because of your disgusting bigotry. By ALL means, leave gog, leave steam... avoid any business that doesn't display the same hostility and bigotry that you feel. Keep all your hate and animus and malice in one place... far away from the rest of the civilized world.

Go back to whatever religious forum you crawled out of, where you can "hate da queers" all you want, and us moral folk don't have to see it.
There are plenty of non-religious people that do not accept homosexuality. On a larger scale, I'd say there is tolerance (which in itself is freedom from bigotry) towards homosexuality. Tolerance is a virtue I'm sure many possess. There can be tolerance without acceptance, but there is no acceptance without tolerance. Some will take that step further, others won't. This is nothing new or surprising.

All in all, your choice of words seems rather strange. You cannot expect tolerance, let alone acceptance, if that is your mindset. You refer to those that do not align with your ideology as bigots, but then you seem quite intolerant towards them. Why is that?
People won't go anywhere, not from GOG, not from Steam, not from any other place for that matter. They should be free to express themselves, preferably in a civil manner. What's more, they shouldn't be forced or indoctrinated into accepting something that does not fit their values or ideals in this life.

Something to ponder on: what in the West might be considered a right (by some), in other areas of the world it will be seen as a vice (or even worse). Yes, for some people homosexuality is not a natural act and it's not so much about religion as it is about biology - there wouldn't be evolution without reproduction. You'd be surprised to learn how certain cultures or individuals react to this.

I agree 100%.....as long as goggers express themselves civilly(and stay within the rules), other goggers should try to treat them with respect.

I get where you're coming from, but technically it IS still a sale, so technically it IS still mainly catering to customers love for games rather than their political beliefs.

But yeah, I also think the notion of... Uhh... Specific computer games getting a discount because they somehow in some (in)direct way support (?) people with different sexual orientations or whatever else is put under the LGBTQ+ umbrella nowadays is strange. Whether you are .... Uhh... "Normal" (?) or LGBT shouldn't really affect your shopping behavior, that'd be kind of awkward. I mean, I guess I tend to pick out games that deliver on the heterosexual front? But I doubt someone who considers themselves LGBT waits for a LGBT sale, just as I wouldn't hold my breath for a sale on computer games featuring "Long hair Guys" or something.
