I think that's a bit unfair to David. He doesn't enjoy tormenting us. He wants us to have a realistic view of the situation.

Heh, David himself says that he likes to see fan tears. Is he joking? Maybe. Was I joking? Maybe.


Maria is correct. It was not my intention to torture anyone regarding this topic-- just advise those involved to have a realistic view of what goes into the decision, and why the Mass Effect team might have gone a different way. Having people stridently proclaim that they have the "right" to a romance of their preference just doesn't sit well with me, though naturally I get people wanting such things-- and, happily, occasionally have the chance to provide. :)

There are many bigots and homophobes on the
BSN who actively belittle and insult people who want same sex romances
of any kind. The Mass Effect boards has the most of them since the
developers of that game have thus far denied there are any same sex
romances in the game dispite all the women FemShep can get with. I'm
sure there are people right now that are pissed off that gay people can
now have something once again in Dragon Age.


So long as romances of any kind are optional and need to be actively pursued by the player in order to be experienced, they simply don't have a leg to stand on. Advocating that nobody should be able to have content you don't intend to personally use is largely pointless-- outside of a vague notion that such efforts should go towards other things, instead. Personally, it's not a lot of effort to include them. The resources we can devote to a minority of players isn't great, but I imagine to those players it's quite worth it... and I would hope that some folks could be sensitive enough to be happy for those players, at the very least out of the selfish notion that they may one day end up in the minority of some content issue and receive the same consideration if nothing else.

>_> Though with my luck Gaider will enjoy that.


Seems like I'd get tears either way. This thought pleases me.

I was pleased neither one ended up dead by the end of the game.


There's only room in the fridge for the gals, or so I'm led to believe.

You've never heard of the Bury Your Gays trope?


Huh. I thought it was Bring Out Your Gays.

Sort of like the guy who roams the streets of a plague town. "Bring out your gays! Bring out your gaaaays!"

Clearly I need to re-think the plan.
