For quite some time Cultural Polluters has been watching BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts, due to overwhelming extreme and immoral content in their gaming (see Products). A quick review shows they have no concern about the impact these games have on our families and our culture.  Some video games can be especially dangerous because we, as humans, process things mentally through images.  The content in some of these games directly affect a person's psychic roots. By playing these games, many young minds are trained that the best way to solve life’s problems is through violence. Many of the school shootings we see on national news since the advent of violent video games should be ample evidence of their danger.

Not every child turns to guns and violence as a result; however, serious gamers have a propensity to develop an angry victim mentality that can affect all of their relationships.

The latest attack on our culture from gaming is the result of a small, yet very vocal, group insisting that homosexual behaviors and lifestyles be introduced into a Star Wars game. If they are successful, their actions could further indoctrinate children into the belief that homosexual behavior is completely natural, before their minds have developed fully enough to make their own choices and decisions.

There is ample history and documentation regarding this particular issue, which you can find at this link:

Defending American Values

The following is a quote from the above article that seems to indicate BioWare will be capitulating to the homosexual pressures and include such characters in expanded versions.

As quoted by Stephen Reid:

“Due to the design constraints of a fully voiced MMO of this scale and size, many choices had to be made as to the launch and post-launch feature set. Same gender romances with companion characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be a post-launch feature. Because The Old Republic is an MMO, the game will live on through content expansions which allow us to include content and features that could not be included at launch, including the addition of more companion characters who will have additional romance options.” (Stephen Reid is the Senior Online Community Manager at BioWare.)

We strongly encourage all our readers to read the entire article and then check your investments to see if you own and therefore profit from Electronic Arts and other companies engaged in actions that undermine traditional family values.

www.CulturalPolluters.org once again is simply asking EA/BioWare to remain neutral in volatile cultural issues and refrain from game programming that a majority of people would classify as violent and/or immoral.
