Doppelgang is Zweiburger, just so you know and she is doing more than basically any of us at keeping this torch going. I don't see anything wrong with what she's doing.
As for the video, man if you could mention some of the arguments about how it sends an unintentional but still bad message to pair an antisocial, disabled person with a robot because it implies he is not strong enough for real human contact and that hiding yourself away because you are different, shy, or not as socially developed comes with its own rewards -- that'd be great.
Yeah I kinda put two and two together and was just joking.
I thought that might be the reason so many of you feel so strongly against Joker x EDI. If I may play the devil's advocate here, it's based on the idea Joker is "settling" for EDI, but what if Joker actually really likes her (or it)? So it wouldn't be "nobody loves me" rather "my love transcends lifeforms". I don't find Joker antisocial, depending on whether you mean reclusive or its actual meaning. He's not shy and was only reclusive in flight school because he was studying harder than everyone else to overcompensate for his disability. I'm not arguing aginst the weirdness (but it's weird for a ship to have human personality at all in the first place), but I don't think it has to be pathetic. Additionally, it could be really good tragic love story.

"You'd have to ask a... People person."
"Hey, I'm here for ya. Up here. With my things."
Sounds a lot like the stuff I say, and I don't really go to parties and crap. I'm a lot more social than I used to be. (I go out regularly and have a circle of friends now. Waaaasn't always the case).
Joker is a bit antisocial, and I do mean the reclusive side of it rather than the active sabotaging side of it. He holes himself away and makes it fairly clear that's what he's doing. He's compared EDI to his mother on more than one occasion.
Regardless of whatever he may feel, EDI is a machine and is not capable of returning any feelings and thus it is an unhealthy relationship. EDI may be "alive" in a certain sense, but alive =/= having emotions. That's why I feel it's bad to present it. It's his ruddy laptop for heaven's sake. A very advanced learning algorithm with a female Microsoft Sam voice.
He does say that doesn't he. It's just not the impression I get though, he never stammers, doesn't hesitate to brag, and often raises his voices at his commander. I mean he did mange to charm the knickers off all of you after all.
I never realised you related so closely to Joker, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. Yah I seem to be going the opposite way from you.

I missed the mother dialogue so maybe I'm not seeing th whole picture.
That's thing that puzzles me about how human EDI is actually supposed to be, I think they probably went too far on that when even the geth appear essentially emotionless. Did someone program her to do bad jokes and play pranks on Joker?

Why does she start siding with her new "friends" over the illusive man?
In any case I appreciate not being stoned/flamed/ stoned with flaming stones to death., and to get back on topic, I'm curious: Have you been Jokermancers since ME1 or ME2? At what point did you say "I want to romance that bastard"?
