Is it okay to include gays in video games? Also why is the word gay and game so similar, are they etymologically related? I am ESL but I know gay used to mean happy
Is it okay to include gays in video games? Also why is the word gay and game so similar...
>Is it okay to include gays in video games?
Yes.
>Also why is the word gay and game so similar,
Coincidence.
>are they etymologically related?
No.
Why does partner immediately have to be sexual?
Shouldn't go more towards associate before referring to sexuality? Even more so in this case since I'm pretty sure the C.J. guy works for a TV studio or something.
why are faggots so desperate to have their fetish injected into everything?
Well yeah that's the point; The push towards saying "partner" instead of stating a gender with girlfriend or boyfriend has in turn also made a lot of people stop associating it with the previous common usage to mean business partner or other anything otherwise related to non-sexual teamwork.
It was a really idiotic thing from the word go to 1) act like Nintendo would make that kind of move, a 2) sexualize a goofy ass cartoon beaver and lizard.

Imagine how much better Yas Forums will be once we block all non-American posters
>why is the word gay and game so similar
Google has your answer if there is one. I would say it's a stretch to connect any two short words based on a couple letters
Americans are the only people on the planet who think knowing more than one language is a bad thing. You barbarians sicken me.
>Is it okay to include gays in video games?
Of course it fucking is. Only on Yas Forums would I find someone unironically ask this.
The question should have been "how should they be depicted and how often?"
>the word “partner” now only refers to people you’re fucking
Eating shit is not healthy. God literally burned down two whole cities because everybody was eating shit.
>the place that created both SJW and pol tells us we are ruining video games and its discussion.
God i wish i were as brainwashed as an American. Imagine how simple life is
>animal crossing may have first nintendo hay character
>in japan it's explicitly stated that they are business partners
>people will still call you homophobic for pointing out facts
1. What do you mean first? We already have had gay and trans characters in Nintendo games.
2. This ain't one of them.
This whole thing reminds me of how the media kept on spinning a father and his child burial as a gay couple, despite it being a ceremonial burial in a super anti gay community.
Everything in context says the opposite of what the media is spinning.
Hehehe I put my pepe in yo poop chute
Accept me
>are they etymologically related? I am ESL but I know gay used to mean happy
You would be able to tell if they were related words, the similarity is only superficial. The origin of "game" came from hunting, which is why sometimes meat is described as "gamey" or target animals are called "game" (such as in "big game hunter"). My conjecture was that its transition to its current form (as a middle area between play and sport) was because of a happenstance allowing people who hunted game for fun started applying it to the lexical gap that required filling with pasttimes such as parlor games or party games. It must have been an extremely early transition, though, as the term seems integral for our use in language; I imagine it superceded a previous word probably during middle english or a similar, unrecognizable form of our language.
No, it is never ok to have fags in your games.
imagine actually being this obsessed
F-fake, both my daddies work at Nintendo and told me that they were a trans gay couple!!!!!!!!!
>the place that created both SJW and pol
You're thinking of France, honey.
Does Animal Crossing even have any blatantly implied romantic relationships? Even Reese and Cyrus are just partners I thought
i hope the muslims hurry up and take over europe so all this gay shit will get removed from every facet of entertainment. can't pedal this shit to muslim countries
>Gender is a spectrum
>Only straight people and gay people exist

>play RDR2
>Arthur says "howdy partner"
>wtf I'm gay now

>Game:
>From Middle English game, gamen, gammen, from Old English gamen (“sport, joy, mirth, pastime, game, amusement, pleasure”), from Proto-Germanic *gamaną (“amusement, pleasure, game", literally "participation, communion, people together”), from *ga- (collective prefix) + *mann- (“man”); or alternatively from *ga- + a root from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think, have in mind”). Cognate with Middle High German gamen (“joy, amusement, fun, pleasure”), Swedish gamman (“mirth, rejoicing, merriment”), Icelandic gaman (“fun”). Related to gammon, gamble.
>Gay:
>From Middle English gay, from Old French gai (“joyful, laughing, merry”), usually thought to be a borrowing of Old Occitan gai (“impetuous, lively”), from Gothic *𐌲𐌰𐌷𐌴𐌹𐍃 (*gaheis, “impetuous”), merging with earlier Old French jai ("merry"; see jay), from Frankish *gāhi;[1] both from Proto-Germanic *ganhuz, *ganhwaz (“sudden”). This is possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰengʰ- (“to stride, step”), from *ǵʰēy- (“to go”),[2][3] but Kroonen rejects this derivation and treats the Germanic word as having no known etymology.
I guess Mabel’s dead parents.
bisexuals don't exist to these people though
Pete likes Phyllis but Phyllis doesn't like him.
who honestly cares enough about fucking words to track their history like this? what is the point? autism.
Is he actually confirmed gay?

Nope sorry, twitter was retarded AGAIN
Nintendo don't have faggots in their games, theyre family friendly
I think that's backwards
No it's not, Pelly likes Pete but Pete likes Phyllis.
