Gonna add his statement as a quote. *cracks knuckles*

Before I start, let me acknowledge something. When I say I HATE Tali, it
is different then when I say, "I hate Subject Zero". When I say, "I
hate subject zero", I'm almost admitting she is a good character. I
acknowledge that SuZe is an interesting character, its just that her
attitude doesn't fit mine.
However, when I say that I hate Tali, I mean something completely different. I think the character Tali is so freakin' pointless. I don't mind the Quarians, but Tali makes me angry. Any other Quarian squad member would have been perfect. She is just uninteresting and unimportant in Mass Effect 1, and has next to no tie with the story (other than giving you Saren's evidence). It makes me angry that she of all people was brought back to the team.
What baffles me even further is people who want an LI for this freak? Or even worse, FIND HER ATTRACTIVE?! She is a weird humanoid thing with 3 webbed toes and 3 long weird fingers. Not to mention she wears a gigantic
robot mask. How can anyone claim her cute? Its kind of scary TBH.
Maybe I should be happy she was added to your squad in Mass Effect 2. Now I can kill her. "

I respect his opinion, but I disagree. Tali is important beyond giving evidence against Saren on the Citadel. She is the focusing lens that lets you see the history behind the quarians and the geth. Could they have picked someone else to do this? Possibly. But they didn't.
Tali gives a different viewpoint that others wouldn't consider. You learn about her family, her culture and how tight-knit the fleet is. You learn why the geth are so hostile towards organics. You learn to see her as someone that you can depend on regardless of what happens. She's
that trusting of a person.

So it's not weird to romance someone with head tentacle fringes, blue skin and a freaky embrace eternity mind thing IN ADDITION to having the ability to reproduce with any species and any gender, but only have asari offspring? As well as being
encouraged to reproduce with other species to reduce the chance of having Ardat-Yakshi(which kill mates instead of meld and reproduce), which not only increases the numbers of asari, but also reduce the other species' numbers?
I'm not bashing anyone who romances Liara, I am merely stating a viewpoint. She's a neat person and all that, but it just...isn't my cup of tea. I can relate to Tali the most out of all female characters in the ME series. I hate to judge, but this person seems like a very looks-oriented person. Looks are always nice, but they aren't what's most important. If you talk to Tali and learn more about her and her culture, you find out quite a bit about why she acts the way she does.
Many
many people warmed up to Tali because of how well she could get along with the player. Her warm personality and kind nature attracted a lot of people, myself included. There wasn't a time when Tali wasn't in my squad. She made
that much of an impact on me in the story. It's not weird to be attracted to Tali as much as it's not weird to be attracted to anyone else in the series that can be romanced(and same goes for some that can't). Diversity is attractive.
