I actually have seen complaints about the inclusion of gay relationships in video games (from EA or otherwise). Of course, those complaints mainly came from far right-wing sources, but...
Except EA used this as a justification as to why people thought their game was bad. Instead of admitting that their games have clear flaws, they just call gamers sexist and entitled.
Oh, I'm not excusing EA. I was kinda responding to one of the comments in the linked YouTube video. I probably should have quoted it :P

Out of all the criticism I regularly see of EA, not once have I seen a single comment complaining about the inclusion of gay people in games. There are just so many legitimate reasons to despise EA, so of course they keep falling back on smokescreens like this.

Guys, EA is hosting an entire LGBT event.  My god.  Imagine if they put this much effort into their games, they might have things like good writing and servers that worked.

An event exclusive to homosexuals?
First they try to ship all gays off to their own planet in a game, now they are trying to keep them away from regular conventions with this cheap mockery! Is there no end to their homophobia?!? They might as well make a game about rounding up gays and locking them in tiny cages with not enough newspapers! Blasted EA, all your acts are evil and shall be viewed through such a lens from henceforth!

Absolutely wondrous EA!
Now how about you fashion a steel rod with a length equal to the number of careers you've ruined from the gutting of studios you've bought out in centimetres and then shove it up your fabulously tolerant arse.

So I had this dream last night, where I was, to my surprise, being held hostage in a Mormon church and about to be fed to a shoggoth-like bird-demon. I inexplicably managed to escape (dream logic!), only to witness armed forces rounding up random people on the street, arresting and shooting them. I again managed to make my way out of the situation with a bunch of fellow, clueless people, wandering aimlessly through the streets and hiding from the death patrols. Just when I realized that I was, in fact, in my Hometown, I lost them and made my way alone into the woods (my hometown is 90% woods). Confident that I saved my sorry ass from the fundamental Christian murder squad I stumbled upon a ragtag group of armed misfits, apparently equipped for the zombie apocalypse, being led by a bearlike guy, wearing a prominent, red mask that covered half his face, framing his shiny beard of glory. They took me as one of their own and provided me with food and shelter. That's when the dream ended.

While it was definitely a nightmare, I'm very anxious to continuing this dream tonight. These are the dreams I'm having when I'm actually sober, so no use blaming drugs on them (to be honest, the damage is already done). Maybe I just consumed too much Metal, Lovecraft and gory Zombie fiction. But who am I kidding?

It's healthy to express your anger and you can thank me later for doing so on here instead of, as I originally intended, by punching someone's fucking bleached teeth in. It's all fun and games until the quiet guy loses it.

It's usually the quiet ones. One of them snapped in my school and broke someone's kneecaps with a hockey stick.

The bastard did deserve it. :P

Please, please let this be a person trolling.

While computers are wonderful tools and there are educational games, these games represent only 1% of all those available. 90% of computer games can be classified as VERY dangerous.
The remaining 9% are literally deadly weapons.

"Monopoly", "Snakes and Ladders", "Checkers", ("Draughts" in the UK) and "Chess" are classic examples of games which promote positive interaction.
I call bullshit. This guy has clearly never played a game of monopoly. It always goes for about two hours too long, gets boring for everybody but the two people who go bankrupt very, very quickly, and then gets boring for those two people soon after, and ends in squabbling about where that extra money came from. Monopoly is a family slayer!

Chess is good though. Strong approval of chess.

I discovered tonight that "ask xkcd" is one hell of a tongue twister.  Try it.

Ironically, I got my knee cap kicked out in school a long time ago and still feel like I didn't deserve it. While I'm most certainly aggressive, I'd never lay hand on a fellow human being. I compensate by letting dwarves slaughter goblins in horrible ways.

Chess is one of the most violent games in existence and a known tool for some of the most dangerous people our world has ever seen >_>

... though I don't disagree. Chess is pretty alright.

Though I just realized, having recalled skimming over that page a few hours ago, that they promote snakes and ladders in the same body of text they condemn anything including snakes as tools of the devil. Neat.
