On the front page of my local newspaper, there was an article about a man who is creating a video game for children to "show kids message of love". Sounds harmless, doesn't it?
Reading further, the motivation gets a little murky. In the game, "cupid" shoots arrows at bunnies. When a boy bunny and a girl bunny get hit, a new bunny appears (that's logical). However, if two boy bunnies or two girl bunnies get hit, a rainbow appears and new bunnies start appearing in different colors. The object of the game is to get the most rainbows. Or in other words, to make as many boy/boy and girl/girl couplings.
My objections? Two boy bunnies or two girl bunnies can't make baby bunnies and teaching little kids that they can, is just plain wrong. Also, to "win" the game, the player is encouraged to make as many rainbow pairings as possible. What does this teach young children?
I admit, my perspective comes from a traditional christian background. Even then, I have taken enough classes in anatomy and biology to know that it takes a girl "bunny" and a boy"bunny" to make a baby "bunny". I also believe that that configuration is the healthiest for the baby "bunny". The male species and the female species each contain certain gender-based characteristics which compliment each other in creating a family.
What is the world coming to? Sigh...
