      @sakku Why? I knew several kids growing up who were adopted and I grew up in a small town. Plus, two of my cousins and their wives adopted. One of them already has a biological child with his wife, but she got breast cancer (she was only 30, which is actually pretty rare, but thankfully, they caught it early on and she made a full recovery) and is now no longer able to have kids. They adopted a baby from Florida (my cousin and his wife live in Kansas City) and their biological son loves having a little brother. Adoption’s not some rare thing that happens, it’s fairly common for kids to be adopted.

    I love how this is what people are talking about and not the literal fact that Wheatley tells you to kill yourself. Even then, as someone who, like many, has dealt with wanting to commit suicide, I take the line with a grain of salt, they're not trying to get players to self harm they're trying to show how dumb Wheately is, and it's also a nice parallel to the first game where GLaDOS says "do you think I am trying to trick you with reverse psychology?" because that's what Wheately's trying to do here. He's just trying to make his life easier so he doesn't have to kill you himself

      a joke from a character that has a canon of being MADE to be dumb, about adoption, when jokes about adoption are common in the first parts of the game, ESPECIALLY when he's the antagonist in this part of the game. Even the antagonist of the first parts of the game says "what exactly is wrong with being adopted?" before the clip they show. It really shouldn't be anything news worthy.

    The game does not make fun of adoptions (more specific: children abandoned by their parents), but recognizes them as what they are: an undesired fate. And the guy saying the sentence is clearly depicted as a dislikable idiot, who is innocently malevolent and trying any way possible to insult the player.

Besides, GLaDOS, my favorite character, states, "What's wrong with being adopted?" Why couldn't they shed more light on her statement.

    I love how they keep out the fact that there was loads of adopted jokes, and then this one in which GLaDOS actually backs you up, they decide to completely and deliberately cut that out so everyone can have a hissy fit and try to make a point. It's not even rated E, it's E10+. They say they're aware of it, but instead of acknowledging it, 2 minutes later they say "this is a popular kids video game and it builds itself as educational and e for everyone" (which is a complete fabrication.) I hate it when the news just cover up things that make it ok, and they misinterpret things so they can convert the world into believing them and going against things that they took personally. That's the type of things that happen when you give Karens and people who can't take a small joke a lot of power.
