Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, took some radio time to berate Bioware for a planned update to Star Wars: The Old Republic that will allow same-gender relations between the player and their companions. In exactly one minute’s worth of reasonable-sounding orating that masked an impressive amount of distortions, straw-man scenarios, and unrelated facts put side-by-side in order to cause false correlations, Perkins made it sound like the “gay empire” had successfully pressured Bioware into submitting to their “Star Warped way of thinking.” No really, he actually said the latter quote out loud and everything.
