Re: Penny Arcade Lampoons BioWare Forum Censorship Flap
Krakthorian Gay-Best...HAHAHAHA!
Yeah, in a universe where a boy kisses his twin sister and doesn't realize she's his sister until the 3rd movie...leaving a whole lot of time to wonder what went on before she got with Han...that's soooo much better than having gay people there! Personally, I always thought Jar Jar was based off of Barney Frank. You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home.

It's pretty funny how upset scifi fanboys get at the suggestion that their favorite series/movie might be inclusive to people of different sexual orientation. Yeah, Star Trek has no gay characters because of the Star Fleet death camps. KOTR did have a gay character, as referenced in the previous article.

This reminds me of Hillary Duff's stupid commercial about saying the word gay.

In the end all I have to say is, EA owns BioWare, so I could care less.
