Wow. I asked a question, no need to do the whole sighing "I have to explain this to another idiot" act. But thanks for explaining that to me. Im for you guys getting what you want as long as they dont come on to me and I don't have to really hear about their sexuality unless your romancing them. Like how Kelly tells you Tali is interested in you, her saying the same thing about Jacob would disturb me.
This goes both ways.
Hey man. You actually seem like quite a nice fella. But I am sorry to say that your ignorance about gay folks and bisexual people actually borders on homophobia.
And before you cry "im not homophobic!" like most do in this situation, you are certainly coming off that way. Let me inform you now that it just as it is possible to be racist via indifference and willful ignorance it is also possible to be homophobic in the same manner.
I dont believe for a moment that you are stupid or that you are meaning to be homophobic; but im afraid you are.
And as Sioneasa(sp?) II said if you are younger then your viewpoint is understandable but if you are older than say 22ish then your really should have outgrown it by now.
I mean yikes.
Its perfectly possible for a straight man (or woman) to appreciate homosexual content (dependant on the context of course) in a game or a movie or a book; just as it is possible for a homosexual man (or woman) to appreciate heterosexual content.
I had a friend growing up who was a str8 bloke and he was my best friend for many many years; and he was totally comfortable with me and with me being gay. Ive seen him naked, hes seen me naked; we have watched "adult movies" together (gay, str8, and bi), we have watched gay and str8 normal movies together, hes went with me to gay clubs, and ive gone with him to str8 clubs. Ive helped him pull girls, and hes helped me pull guys.
Did that make him in any way gay or bisexual? No. He was totally str8 and believe me I know because we DID talk about it once.
I dont understand why being told by Kelly that say Thane had developed a bit of a crush on you would disturb you. I mean, im a gay guy and it didnt disturb me to be told Tali had a crush on my StraightMan!Shep. I thought it was really sweet and kinda cute.
On my next playthru I romanced her just because of that. (My first play thru my StraightMan!Shep stayed loyal to Ashley).
Ive always believed it to be a sign of insecurity when a straight person isnt comfortable with a gay person, or cant "wrap their head around it". My friend was totally comfortable in his own sexuality and as a consequence of that he was completely comfortable with MY sexuality; he knew where he was so it didnt matter where I was if you know what i mean?
As I mentioned I have my StraightMan!Shep playthru that I imported from ME1. He was Paragon.
I also have GayMan!Shep who is secretly in love with Kaidan (in my head) and didnt romance anyone in ME1 that im going to import over to ME2 when I complete his playthru. I am holding out for bisexual Kaidan being restored to the games.
