Portal 2 is offensive to orphans
Astonishing. It really bothers me when people do this:
"I thought it was hilarious when you made fun of black people but I was offended when you made fun of cancer because my brother has cancer"
Some people choose to be offended by the slightest things. In Portal 2, the orphan jibes are (as was said earlier in this thread), attacks by the main antagonist of the game. It certainly doesn't send the message that being adopted is wrong, especially since GLaDOS defends Chell on this point when Wheatly brings it up.
Not to mention that dealing with artificial synapsis is expressly forbidden by the Orange Catholic Bible.

That is quite absurd. Firstly it's more balanced than the tiny clip shows (given that GLaDOS suggests about a second before that there's nothing wrong with being adopted), and secondly that it's a throwaway joke setting up the larger point that Wheatley is a moron.
People HAVE the right to be offended. This is the normal way of things.
People, however, DO NOT have the right to force their offense on the people who made them offended! If they're offended, so be it, one more person is offended by a medium that will offend some. It's up to the consumer of the medium to deal with the offense, not the creator of it.
Of course, you can make your offense known to the creator, but that shouldn't change the media that has caused it.
I don't know about you guys but I got really ticked off by that video. Valve isn't being offensive, they are making you realize that Wheatley's a utter moron. I think It's rated E for Everyone because there's no blood, violence, swearing or nudity. Also if they are offended, then don;t play it. if you don;t like it, don't do it......simple.
I had a feeling that Wheatly was getting a little out of hand with the whole adopted thing when I first played the game.
When wheatley is saying that adoption is wrong, its like when Harold Camping telling everyone that judgement day is coming.
LOL, nice one Arnar105. 
My opinion on this is people have the right to get upset at the "adoption" joke, 
but they don't have the right to be a jerk about it.
