As far as this article, “Bioware outs gay male relationship in Mass Effect 3,” is concerned there is not much persuasion involved. Really, for the most part, this article is extremely objective and mostly just like a report of a finding. While reading the article, the reader is constantly having facts thrown at them about the original source, such as information about the game and what homosexual characteristics have been added to it. The article then goes on to describe the negative uproar that rose from the protestors of the new added features of the game, who, we find out, actually ended up utilizing false evidence in their claims. An explanation and response from the producers of the game to the criticizers is also present within the article. This is important because it shows the creators’ purpose and reasoning so we can get a better understanding about the thought process that went into deciding whether or not to add the extra features into the game. This article is extremely information based in its purpose and, for the most part, keeps an unbiased voice throughout, although, I feel there is a slight hint of support for the issue. What is so important about this document is that it informs the public of these new developments in societies views of homosexuality. By seeing that other people are challenging societies norms, readers might decide to challenge their own view and others views of the subject at hand. By providing the public with information, the article brings the possibility of rethinking their stance on the issue presented.
I agree that this article is very important in showing many people things are starting to change. I feel that it shows that if the people who make the games we enjoy so very much are willing to change then so should the rest of society. Also, I feel this is a good start because the gaming community is so large and encompassing that it has a good chance of catching on.
ReplyDeleteI like how the article wrote about the issue, giving the reader the choice to like or not like the idea. I feel that to change people, the big influential things like video games, music, pop culture needs to lead it to let other s follow.
ReplyDeleteThis article was important in that it showed how the video game industry is changing, but also the uproar that came with it. I like how the game designers have stuck with their decision even after many people have come out against it, it shows they really care about this issue. Hopefully this is a sign that things are changing.
ReplyDeleteThis article is significant because we can actually choose our cyber-character's sexual taste. Of course we cannot change our own sexual taste, but in order to do those type of activity, we can easily approach homosexuals without feat.
