I want to play Mass Effect 3, but I don't appreciate the fact that they are including homosexual characters in their games.  I feel that I've already invested enough in the story line that I'll go ahead and buy ME3 anyways, convictions be damed.  Anyone have any ideas of how I can maximize my displeasure at Bioware for caving in to the GLBT community? 

And yes, i bought and played the Dragon Age games even though they included homosexuality, so no need to call me a hypocrit.

I look forward to your responses.  I may respond if thread isn't locked or I'm not banned.

You could just realize that your prejudices are misplaced and get over it. Then you wouldn't have to worry about protesting homosexuality in the games.

It's not like it's not already in the Mass Effect games. Liara isn't a lesbian as there isn't men in her race, but any Female Shepard who romances her or flirts with Kelly is gay or atleast bisexual.

Besides it's not like you need to romance them, does it bother you that much that other people will? It's a RPG, people have the choice to play how they want.

And I'll be honest I dont remember playing any Bioware game that didn't include homosexuality content. Jade Empire, Kotor, Mass Effect 1, 2, Dragon age 1 and 2 (that's all I've played) I'm glad Bioware choose to cater to as much of their fans as they can.

Did they really cave? Caving implies sacrificing principles, I think. I didn't realize BioWare was a religious, right-wing organization that catered to Moral Majority-type trolls on the Internet.

Wasn't it really caving when they voiced all of the dialogue for homosexual relationships in the previous games then cut them out?

Maximize your displeasure by maximizing your pleasure.

Or just get over it.

Regardless of merit, TOO LATE.  VO, scripting, and most (if not all) of the game is done.

Although, I hear that canceling your preorder is very effective.

I don't think you mean "maximize my displeasure" there. "Express my displeasure"?

So you need to express that you wish  Bio would cave in to the homphobic community rather than the LGBT community. (I don't know what to call you folks besides the homophobic community.... what do you call yourselves?)

If it's just a wish, you've already done that. If you think you can make an argument why Bio should cave in to you guys rather than the other guys, I suppose you can try to make a case. I'm not quite clear what such a case would be, though.

Yeah, that's a much more accurate description. So I guess the OP really wants Bio to stop being so damn principled.

That's an interesting point. Perhaps OP would have preferred a game where Shepard teams up with the Reapers to hunt down homosexuals in between frantic sex sessions with Miranda because of course, he constantly needs to reassert his masculinity.

Protest by skipping the dialog that has Shepard flirt with a character of the same sex.  It's content you don't have to see, so don't worry about it.

And they didn't cave in to the GLBT, they caved to people like me who want to see Ashley and FemShep get it on in a cutscene.

The troll seemed to imply that he wouldn't be able to reply immediately, which is a shame because it makes the thread a whole lot less fun, and it's likely to be locked or deleted by the time he returns.

I'm hoping this is a troll, seriously praying..
Why shouldn't they include homosexual relationships?
Homosexuals are no different to Hetrosexuals and you're not forced to play as a Homosexual so either get over it... ooooor don't buy the game and please keep your closed mind to yourself. Us open minded people don't wanna hear it..
