The only problems with this are:
1) Sexuality can change over time, either private or public sexuality. For example, every LGBT person who ever came out of the closet has changed their public sexuality.
2) Tali and Garrus are problematic as there's no indication (in ME1) that a quarian would be into a human or a turian would be into a human, including these specific characters. They changed what type of people these characters could possibly find attractive at the core and didn't simply have them realize feelings for an individual of a type of people that they always did find attractive.
2) You are right again. But I already said I believe it was a mistake to introduce them as LIs in ME2 after giving no indication of that in ME1,as much as I found their romances amusing.
And I know that romancing same-sex human should be more acceptable than romancing opposite-sex alien on one level,but some reason it's not for a lot of people,me included. Not sure why though,I admit it doesn't make much sense.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that these aliens are 100% fictional and don't exist outside ME universe. Since gay humans most certainly exist,and it's not accepted by everyone in the real world,a lot of people mind such thing being transferred in the game. And if aliens existed too,I bet a lot of people would be against that too. I don't know,some things cannot be explained. But I would like to hear what do you think is a reason.
Well, I think people's lack of acceptance of homosexuality in real life is 100% the reason for their lack of acceptance of it in the game. But we have to be careful that we don't veer off topic when we're discussing this. Real-world attitudes toward homosexuality are certainly related to this topic, but the topic has to remain focused on the game itself rather than devolve into a debate about the world's attitudes toward it.
The bottom line (no pun intended) is that homosexuality does exist in the real world, and whatever BioWare does in relation to this issue does have an effect on how their product is perceived. They can:
1. Continue to do nothing, and they will be perceived as tacitly catering to the players who harbor anti-gay attitudes.
2. Include s/s LI options for Shepard, or otherwise acknowledge the existence of male homosexuals in the game itself (in a positive or neutral way), then they will be seen as trying to accommodate as many of their fans as possible.
3. Remove all heterosexual romances and offer players ONLY same-sex options that cannot be avoided, then they will be seen as catering to pro-gay players.
I think we all agree that the third scenario is beyond unlikely, but the second option should be the compromise that they should be striving toward, in my opinion.
Retour en haut
That said, I don't even strongly object to the pandering, after all, I seem to recall some butt-shots of Jacob too. As long as it's equal-opportunity pandering, I say bring on the pandering (so moar hot dudes plz kthanx).
