The Timothy Plan mutual company warns about teh gheys in Army of Two
The Timothy Plan, a Florida investment firm which bills itself as "conservative Christian," is warning holiday-shopping parents away from what it calls the 30 "most offensive" video games.
While the usual suspects (GTA IV, Saints Row 2, Blitz the League II) make the list, there are some surprises as well, including the T-rated Bully: Scholarship Edition and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
In its game rankings, the organization displays an obvious anti-gay bias. While it evaluates titles for sex and nudity, a gay/lesbian rating is also included, meaning that a game with a gay sexual encounter might get a double whammy when compared to a game where the sex is of the straight variety. This effect, for instance, pushes Fable II onto the group's most offensive list. Along that line a report prepared by the Timothy Plan contains this rather bizarre comment:
Army of Two: Homosexual Encounters: ...Somewhat homo-erotic undertones between the two main characters are present.
The way it was written in the quote, for a split second I thought the game actually was called "Army of Two: Homosexual Encounters."
Also I notice it said something about citing demonic references. Would I be correct in assuming that Persona 4 is not on his list of avoidance? I don't want to check the list. It takes more than a homophobe to get me to open a .pdf file.
Parents won't even stop to inspect the little warning/ESRB sticker on a game box.
Why does this author think they' read, much less remember, his tale of witchery and evil?
You can be damn sure there are parents out there who think the same as they do, though I doubt they are interested in buying ANY video games for their children.
Also, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I can remember anyone speaking out against homosexuality AND violence in video games. Progress?

That's what I'm thinking.
People this suspicious of video games probably only subscribe to CBN, SkyAngel, and Fox News.
It wasn't as bad as the original concept where they would get into sexual positions and you had to spam the hump button to fire.

You might unknowingly be investing in the companies that produce these video games.
Simply complete the form below if you would like the Timothy Plan to send you a complimentary moral audit on your mutual funds which may own these as well as other objectionable companies. There is no cost or obligation for this service.
They want me to open my mutual fund accounts to scrutiny by them? Okay, sounds good!
Hmm....Their office is about 15 minutes away from me...

They rate Mass Effect as more inappropriate than No More Heroes.
Awesome.

I was going to say something about maybe they should decry it for being a shitty game, but then realized I was thinking of Kane and Lynch or whatever the fuck it was called.

Every time I see these, I can't help but think someone out there is getting the better of us in a bizarre form of trolling. And Army of Two kicked ass.

I fully expect some hardcore Seven Degrees of Separation will be pulled on anyone who actually undergoes that "moral audit", and the Timothy Plan will be more than happy to stea-- I mean, manage, your money in a moral, responsible Christian fashion.

Good thing this man's on the ball.

Lesbianism at a rating of 10? HOLY SHIT MUST BUY!
Not a car guy, huh?
This could be an upcoming expansion pack. Or an "expansion pack," if you will.

Homo stuff happened. In the game that is.

I loved Ao2 just because it was so over-the-top. Good co-op play for sure.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.

You were thinking of both.

It was hilarious and actually talked about the undertones in the game (and how it would actually make it a better game)
PM'ing now.
I never asked for this!
Yep, sex is five billion times more horrible than crippling violence for some reason.
After all, The Passion of the Christ, beloved by millions of turbochristians, is pretty much wall to wall torture porn.

Maybe you weren't looking at Jesus hard enough.
