I mean,rockstars been chased by J.T. Burned by hot coffee but they're still putting contreversial stuff into their games.

What do you think about him being able to kiss men?
I'd say probably not,as lots of people don't like it.

I don't really think it's a big deal because if the player is uncomfortable with it, they don't have to make Jimmy kiss a guy. It's all down to choice and personally I don't like the thought of Jimmy being gay, so I don't make him gay. It doesn't bother me that the option is there though.

In some cut scenes Jimmy kisses girls and there's no control over that. He's never forced to kiss any guys, Perhaps if he was there would be more controversy.

Personally I am not to fond of gays, but we have no right saying that they can't be gay. People are born gay, they have no control over it, and people want to stop them from being gay? Why not kill people off for having blue eyes, or brown hair? Still, the topic at hand is if Jimmy should be allowed to kiss guys, I say yes, it is a personal choice and nobody is allowed to change that. Jack Thompson has his panties in a knot over nothing, he just wants attention. But the attention he is getting is the same kind of attention that monkeys get at a zoo.

Hear hear! The game isn't scripted so that you absolutely HAVE to kiss a boy. It's only if the player wants to. There is a community of people who say it is bad that a boy and a girl kiss, but you don't hear of there being a homosexual equivalent to Jack Thompson. People should be allowed to do what they want in a game. I could imagine Jackie being one of the people, back in the time of Martin Luther King, to strongly disagree with black rights. A few years from now he'll be laughed at for his views on these issues. Jack is entitled to his own opinion, sure, but quite frankly, who cares?

You forgot to put a 3rd option: "I don't care"... that would be my choice.

Why didn't I think of that. Hmm...But think about it, what if Bully got banned in your area for having such content? Would you care then?

Well... it looks like the people that rated Bully T for teen share my opinion and don't care either =)

Don't you think the world has more important problems to deal with than virtual boys kissing?

I meant that it would be nice if nobody cared about anything. That way I would be able to punch JT in the face and nobody would care...Although, nobody would care anyway about what he said.

I made my point... i just hope that in the future you never work for ESRB =)

Is it so wrong to make porn games "K for kids" and make barney games "AO" ?

Aquaberryhead · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2007, 05:27:54 PM »

MY noob ass voted No, when I really was trying to vote yes saying it WAS ok, meh. Anyways I'm new here so I can only throw in my 1 cent and not 2 cents. I think it was ingenious of Rockstar to do this. They knew that JT would be frustrated because by definition a boy kissing another boy is not any more lewd then a boy kissing a girl. And if anything Rockstar also showed that many bi-sexual guys do not have any femenine tendencies. Not once do you see Trent or Kirby have a limp wrist or a lisp. Many guys who do not play for the other team, but rather choose to play both sides act completely straight when it comes to their mannerisms. Rockstar also knew that this might confuse kids becuase most kids think that all gay or bisexual guys tend to act like girls. Since I am in my 20's and have experienced college life I can say attest that it is true that many bi guys can pass as straight. I had a bi-sexual friend in my sophmore year and I would not have known he was into guys as well as girls until he hit on me. I did not stop being friends with him but I can certainly say that he had no issue with bedding both sexes and I would have thought he was totally straight because he had all the typical masculine tendencies.

I voted yes because like longsworder said you dont have to kiss a guy, the main script revolves around him kissing girls so it is optional and it's up to the player anyway, so i dont see why not.
