 Mods, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to be snarky, or sarcastic, or anything. But I have a question.

From the OP of the standard S/S thread:

This thread's purpose is NOT to discuss real-world issues related to homosexuality, gender identity, politics, religion, etc. 


This thread doesn't exist for people to express that they are against the inclusion of same-sex romance either. It's been confirmed by BioWare, and if you want to petition them to take it out, do it somewhere else.


And to quote Chris Priestly:


Please remember:
All romances in Mass Effect 3 (as with parts 1 and 2) are optional. If you do not enjoy romance options in games, please stay out of discussions where fans of such romances can discuss them. Mass Effect 3 also has same sex relationships. If you do not enjoy or approve of same sex relationships, please stay out of discussion on these topics. While we respect each person's personal beliefs, we do not allow insults, ridicule or hatred against people on these forums based on religion, politics, race, age or sexual preference. People breaking the Site Rules will be dealt with accordingly.


And another tip: If you find yourself using the word "retcon", which is a poorly-understood portmanteau of the phrase "retroactive continuity", you're probably veering off-topic. In fact you're probably careening off-topic. Those are discussions for other threads, so please discuss such topics elsewhere.


Is it just me, or is this thread clearly and only just about supporting s/s? Why cannot we have threads that discuss the pros and cons of that? I'm not talking about homophobia, I'm talking about reasons why it does or does not belong in-game.

Again, the s/s thread is clearly only about supporting it. Is there something wrong with having a DIFFERENT thread (following the instructions of the OP of the s/s thread), arguing about it? Again, no one is talking about homophobia, and if that becomes the focus, of course it should be locked down. But I don't understand why every thread even somewhat related to it is directed to the thread that specifically says that they won't tolerate any contrary opinions.

Please, mods, don't misunderstand me. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this.
