Yes OP, let's continue to demonize women who have and enjoy sex. Then there'll be less of it to go around and it will be your fault.

Try sleeping at night with that on your conscience.

I think the OP's illustrated the answer to his own question. Bio's got to make characters that will show interest in a PC no matter who's playing him, even if he's got "prejudiced, sexist, one-sided" views. I guess that means skanks.

It seems like after Isabela's reveal as a party member, all the puritanists came out to complain.

The sky is falling.

Seriously, you can believe whatever you want. You want to remain virgin until you marry? That's fine.

But calling the girls "skanks" is very inappropiate and disrespectful. Just because they're sexually active don't turn them into "skanks".

Not being a virgin =/= being a skank.  Think about it.  You could bang Morrigan by the first time you make camp, used to sleep with the Chasind men like her mother did, and even tried to bone Sten.  Lelianna's job was to have sex with men and then kill or steal from them.  Isabella got double penatrated by the Warden and Zevran.  That sound pretty ****ty to me.  Forgive me if I find women with class a bit more appealing than skanks.


Isabella rolled with Leliana too - so that makes it two guys to two girls, with no DP needed. Maybe the Warden was getting a mouthful of elf if it was the less pleasant kind of threesome.

All of that being said, you really need to chill. This kind of inflamatory language adds absolutely nothing.

I'm willing to bet this thread'll be closed before it reaches it's 4th page.

Edit: Anyways OP if it bothers you so much there's probably a chance you can kick her out of the party/kill her. She is a bi option after all. :whistle:

I think its the possessive men that complain.  "My love interest can't possibly have enjoyed sex with another man, that totally ruins it for me!"

Get over yourselves.

If it's consistent with the rest of their character, I'm all for it.  It would be odd if Liara wasn't kind of hesitant, odd if Ashley totally abandoned protocol, just as it would be odd if Morrigan had a puritanical attitude towards sex or if Leliana was willing to do anything to complete her assignments except sleep with people.  

And Isabela, a hedonistic pirate? You don't say!

It's all about posession, IMO. People like to feel that they're super special, and having someone fawn over them sexually does that. When people don't make a big deal about sex, and don't make having sex with them special, that can make people jealous and resentful in a hurry.



Not to derail this trainwreck further, though. Actually, not that it matters since this thread is so inflammatory it's getting close to bordering on the absurd.

If a woman has sex, apparently she's a skank now? I guess I should update urban dictionary.

Leliana: repentant and now a prude
Morrigan: Quite the prude. Had no problem trying to get with you but was by no means a skank
Liara: Naive and and anxious but not a skank
Ash: Followed military protocol until "suicide mission"
Silk Fox: Largely ignored you until intrigued by you
Dawn Star: Naive as you could possibly be
Tali: Quite reserved sexually if you don't count nerve stims
Miranda: YMMV
Jack: She was a rape victim with problems with sex.  Not really a skank.

Don't see where you are getting the skankiness from.

This.

...I don't see how Jack counts as not being a skank but milage varies on Miranda. :? 

Frankly I see Jack as being the YMMV and Miranda not really being a skank.

What about Zevran? He seemed like the biggest skank out of the lot.

I can't speak for Dave, but personally I just attack bad logic and flawed conclusions when I see it.  I couldn't care less what women I'll never meet think about the content of my posts, certainly not any more than some other man I'll never meet. 

This thread is dumb.

He's a bisexual Spanish elf, apparently he doesn't "count."

I never romanced Miranda so I only have other people's opinions on that romance so I said your mileage may vary as there are drastically differing opinions.  Jack on the other hand is most definitely not a skank.  She fears sex for crying out loud.  If you have sex with her, she hates you for the rest of the game and treats you like a rapist.  It is pretty clear cut that she is not a skank.

Has sex with someone she just met and all his or her friends?  Uh, yeah.

Of course, she does need to be Persuaded.

I wasn't even implying that he was, but this whole thread reminded me of the epic days of the early WoW forums when that stuff really did go on and was the source of some of the best laughs found on the internet.

What are you talking abou? Jack doesn't fear sex. She hates you because she thinks you're just like everyone else. (She certainly doesn't treat you like a rapist.My Shep gets treated the exact same way for simply disagreeing with her.) She fears intimacy. She's pretty liberal with sex. Sort of like zevran in a way. Sleeping with her doesn't stop her from later calling you commander or being willing to die in the suicide mission or fighting by your side. Or even being loyal to your cause! She just sees that Shep got what he wanted and she no longer wants to deal with him. Except with Jack it ends up being nasty and rude. (Granted Shep can be a right douche right on back. One of these days I'll start her romance so I can those scenes). So no. It wasn't rape. More like Jack deciding Shep was like everyone else.
