Again with the S/S stuff.
I was wary of the idea of Bioware doing it for the simple fact that I don't think it would work to drop something like that in the final game of a trilogy. Sexual orientation really should be established in the first game.
That said, I also don't understand how it would fundamentally change who Ashley is as a person if she happened to like women as well as men, yet still had the same scenes and dialouge otherwise. Nor do I think it's somehow inherently against her being religious, since there are all sorts of different religions with different things to say on the matter today, and since I think that over 100 years in the future most mainstream religions will be a lot more forgiving on the subject. And, I'm sorry, but yes, the objections that some people have raised over the past year or so sometimes come off as a tad homophobic. Not always, not with everyone, and perhaps it isn't always intentional when it does happen that way. But, yeah, there have been times when it does seem like there's something deeper at work than fear over Ash's characterizatoin being upset. And that bothers me. It really does. Feel free to disagree if you want, and I'm sorry if you feel I've insulted or offended you, but that's just the way I see it.
Also should note that I wouldn't have cared that much if they did go S/S with Ash, since I always play male Shep, and never would have seen the s/s romance. I think it probably would have been screwed up and revealed in an awkward way, like the way I understand they did things with Kaidan, so I continue to maintain it's better they decided not to go in that direction. But there are worse things. Like being shafted on total content for Ash.
Anyway, this whole thing split the Ash fandome, and it ranks up there with "Ash and racism" in terms of things I'm sick and tired of talking about. Think I'll take a day or two away from the Ash thread to let the s/s talk die down.
