Why won't Sims or Tropico support traditional marriage?
Where is the choice to stand up for traditional marriage?
Cordova, TN; May 26, in the year of our Lord 2014--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is baffled that two well known simulation
franchises refuse to include DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Why
won't Sims or Tropico support traditional marriage? It is a
simple question. One that has far reaching ramifications. Are
these video game franchises trying to change public opinion? Are
they trying to brainwash gamers into accepting one choice on a
hot button issue? Have they picked a side and done it in a
deceptive manner? Are the people behind those games working to
redefine marriage?
The whole offensive apology from Nintendo of America over
Tomodachi Life got me thinking. Plenty of video game sites went
on the attack. They went after Nintendo for not being
progressive. For not bowing down to the threats of the sexual
deviants. For not including a redefinition of marriage in their
upcoming hand held video game release. The Sims and Tropico were
brought up as examples of how it should be done. Something about
that bothered me. It wasn’t because Family Friendly Gaming has
the exact opposite belief and opinion on this issue. There was
something deeper going on. After much prayer and research I
found it.
The Sims and Tropico franchises are brought up as examples
because they include the ability to redefine marriage. Know what
those franchises are missing? The ability to promote, cherish,
honor, and support traditional marriage. Take Tropico for
example. You can issue an edict to redefine marriage and allow
homosexuals to marry someone of the same sex. You can not issue
any edicts that support traditional marriage. Why not? Why can’t
we say we want to show our support for traditional definitions?
Why are we denied that choice? If the people behind these games
find one choice valid, why do they purposely exclude the other
one? Shouldn’t they be fair and include both choices? Shouldn’t
the free market decide? Wouldn’t it be interesting to find out
how many pick traditional marriage in the game? Are the video
game developers afraid of what they would find out? Or are they
afraid of attacks from those who claim to celebrate diversity?
