Yes, that's what I said. Read it again.
The prevalence of lesbian options over gay male and straight female options just proves beyond any doubt that the romances in the ME series exist for the titllation of the straight male audience, not to provide any sort of in-depth characterisation, and certainly not for any sense of 'realism', despite what the ignorant may claim.
Or it could've had something to do with that fact that 82% of players played as a male, and they were using their resources wisely. They didn't spend a bunch of money creating something that many people wouldn't use or witness.
Also, the amount of gay options matches the amount of lesbian options. You can argue that lesbians had it easier since their option was introduced in ME1, but that lesbian option had to do more with the fact that the Asari are unisexish.
The fact that straight males are the majority has no relevance to my assertion that the lesbian romances exist for their titliiation. If anything, it rather supports the point.
No, lesbians have four options in ME3, compared to the two for gay males. I wasn't counting Liara's availability in ME1, but that still doesn't speak well for the ME series as a whole.
Ah, sorry. I thought you were talking about legitimate romances and not random one night stands.
So you basically are advocating for a bunch of male on male romances since obviously having male on female or female on female is pandering to a straight audience, right? Or a lot of male and female romances could just be displaying what normally goes on this world.
I'll tell you what. Go to the bar and try to pick up some women. Then try to pick up some men. Tell me how that goes for you. Hell, even try to get one of your female friends to do that.
Even so, ME1 had an even amount of romances for each type of sexual preference. If Liara had been a male only option, then you'd be complaining. Since she isn't, it's gives Mass Effect a bad name? Okay.
Not everyone in life is gay. Not everyone in a story should be gay. It doesn't make any sense to set it up in that way, to be frank. Liara didn't hook up with in a female because she's a female in ME1. She hooked up with a female because gender doesn't mean anything to her species.
