Do you think it would be wrong for people to start a forum about how Shepard should have a romantic relationship with his pet hamster....(hypothetical)
If you say yes, why is it ok for gay people to want a relationship with the same sex.
It's not the legitimate relationship, but the fact that somebody can love a hamster just as much as somebody can love another man.
Therefore how can you satisfy all of players needs regarding the choices they want to make. If somebody wants a homosexual relationship, somebody is going to want to play as the bad guy (because ME is designed for the player to make his own choices). But bioware can't do that, because the in fact are following a scripted traditional story.
That's a stupid and excessively offensive argument.
I'm sorry, but it is.
Asking that the still sexually ambiguous Shepard be allowed to pursue his or her particular reasonable orientation, be it bi, ****** or hetero, means per your reasoning that BioWare ought to allow the player to romance hamsters?
Look, I don't know if you're aware of this, but there is a fundamental difference between mutually consenting human beings and a human being taking advantage of an animal.
If you can't see that distinction, I don't know what to make of this. Or you.
