This thread isn't dead,  its just brain damaged.

Put it on cleaning duty i guess.
Why to people worry about following their heart? Its lodged in your chest, you won't accidentally leave it behind.

Its bad because reasons, and if you don't know the reasons, you are horrible. You cannot ask what the reasons are or else you doubt it. But the reasons are irrefutable. Logic.

Hey, I did my part to turn it into a vegetarianism flamewar instead of a homosexuality one.

Cleaning duty?  Why don't we just butcher this thread and turn it into fine meals and leather jackets?
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.

Well if you go by OH IM SO PROGRESSIVE typical standards of inclusion, 50% of the population is homosexual and just about every woman is meant to be an ass-kicking warrior machine, which actually does not exist outside of some college students' utopian fantasy.

That's what I mean by overreaching. I don't care if it's at least somewhat realistic. But most of the time when script writers/designers go that route, they are more concerned with political signaling than something that actually resembles reality and where suspension of disbelief doesn't suffer collateral damage.
Sources please.

Here, let me give you an example of how this is done:
http://www.tv.com/shows says the top 5 popular shows are: Game of thrones, arrow, marvel's agents of shield, grey's anatomy, and coronation street.
AFAIK none of those have even 10% homosexual characters.

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?num_votes=5000,&sort=user_rating,desc&title_type=tv_series says the top 5 is breaking bad, game of thrones, the X-files, the wire, and one punch man.
None of those have anything close to 50% homosexual characters.

Another imdb list http://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv/ says band of brothers, planet earth, breaking bad, game of thrones, the wire. Same story.

The writers guild of America calls these the top 5: The sopranos, seinfeld, the twilight zone, all in the family, and M.A.S.H. And again nowhere close to 50%, I don't think M.A.S.H. even has a single homosexual, the closest they get is one guy trying to get kicked out of the army for wearing clothing traditionally associated with women.

Other names I have seen mentioned are house of cards, and downtown abbey. I highly doubt they even come close to 5% homosexuals.

On another topic:
Don't insult Xena: Warrior Princess, that show is epic. Also, it has a less than representative amount of homosexuals (especially for ancient Greece), and most women in the show aren't ass-kicking warrior machines.

Politically correctness is shit, but don't use that as an excuse to be ignorant. Now, please die of bone cancer you pathetic unwanted spawn of the sow you call 'mother'.

Moderator here! Yeah so this fun little chunk above the red is a prime example of stuff I'll normally perm ban people for. I'm going to leave it here for a bit just as a point of reference for something you surely don't do on this forums. Now, feel free to point and laugh because his ban is for two weeks and when he comes back we're going to have a nice long chitty-chat. Keep this thread mostly friendly please! I'm not saying don't argue, but behave.

agents of shield does have gay characters. you do know this, right?

Does agents of shield have vegetarian characters who object to butchering captives and selling the meat to space pirates?

I am by no means new to rim world, think I joined around Alpha 2 or 3, got on to the game because of Quill18. I love this game and all of its silly quirks, I am interested to see exactly what kind of dynamic this update will bring. And some we got on to the whole topic of morality I want to throw it right out the window and am now wondering if it would be possible to creat a people farm where we keep prisoners and breed humans for canibalism. I mean if we keep animals captive and breed them why not humans? There are already people (myself included) who have created canibalistic colonies, why not creat one with a people farm? Creepy thought? Yes, idea for a new A13 colonie? Totally  ;D

Will prisoners breed?  That would make the people farm far more viable.

Er.... Prisoners breeding is very much opening the door to prison rape.... Guess if it is, ill have 1 x 2 cells for any important prisoners

Despite mumblemumble's objection, Shurp's suggestion is going into my list.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here

Don't misinterprete me,  i actually suggested rape in this very thread,  BUT, prisoners sex being added as 100% consensual is completely silly. I don't think it should happen without the high possibility of it being rape, because,  honestly,  several tribes / factions that hate each other... Face it,  most sex won't be completely  consensual .

My "objection"  is not prison sex,  but the idea if prisons where sex is always consensual. Because i think no prison sex is far more believable.

Prisoners breeding would just probably have the pregnant person shanked to death or the baby instantly turned into meat to sell. Not to mention the parents would probably be sold by then or killed, or recruited. Just, don't. Stop.
Selling broken colonist souls for two thousand gold. Accepting cash or credit.

Either way,  i think if its added,  jail segregation by gender is needed. (at least for people who aren't cannibal campers)

Also,  anyone who rapes my colony (unless they are extremely valuable,  because i still need to keep the colony going... Though i will arrange a way to punish them )  is going straight into my incineration room. Yeah,  i still use the stone vault with clothing on the floor / molotov setup. Not only does it incinerate bodies extremely well,  it consumes no power,  and gives the rest of the base a good heat boost once the room gets around 1000 f.

Also i agree,  the dark side of the interaction between pregnancy,  rape,  and cannibalism is extremely grim. If i ever encountered that,  mercy killings all around.

Sounds like a story generator to me. It can also make Rimworld a required component in a college-level ethics class.

Actually i seriously agree. Rimworld is potentially one of the best moral delema simulators I've seen,  and i don't see it stopping with that any time soon
