Yeah... A chick named Ethan... Got it.

And nope don't find it hot at all. Sorry


Straight and Bi men find pretty girls kissing hot.

Straight and Bi women find good looking men kissing hot.

It's the same thing, really. A cursory inspection of all the fanfic circulated online shows that a large part of it, the majority perhaps, is man on man slash written by women. Kirk/Spock, Aragorn/Legolas, male anime character X/male anime character Y, etc.

I have never met a chick who found guys kissin hot, so it must be a lot more rare than guys who find chicks kissin hot.

Hm? I am a girl named Ethan. Also: There's a nearly (or at least more) million dollar industry proving your girls don't like gay guys making out theory wrong.

Hmm did not know that..


So there is a ****** romance in the game so yall can stop the social commentary...


Thats a [supposedly] one night stand. And its lesbian. You do realize that lesbian and gay aren't the same things right? I hope I don't need to explain to you where babies come from? Or what that thing between your legs is?

Oh and y'all dont need to read our commentary. Thanks though.


Ummm dude seriously?  First of all I never said there was a GAY relationship,,,  I said there was a ****** relationship.  Not the same thing... 



You suggested that just because there's a same sex romance between two women available that this somehow appeases same-sex people on a whole, like there's no difference between gay and lesbian. You basically said there was a '******' relationship and that should somehow solve the problem for everyone. Not to mention your phrasing seemed intentionally offensive.

Dude got nothin else for you.  Was just checkin to see if Kelly was hot and stumbled on the little tidbit they say in there.


It's fine, thanks for that at least. Would tide some of my FemSheps over an otherwise "dry" period if it were true. Posted Image

We'll have to see if the wiki or Gamefaqs forums were right. Could be either way.

Is there any one night stands for M!Sheps?

Knowing my luck probably not. :(

You do realize that in modern English language the word "gay" is gender-neutral? Take the word of a linguist. "Lesbian" is a gender-specific word. "Gay" refers to all forms of homosexuality. Regional variations may apply, but in standard speech it's perfectly acceptable to call a woman gay (assuming that she is, ofcourse).
Ofcourse the state of the subculture being what it is, it can be tad difficult to find the proper terminology, as some parts of the gay community find certain terms in certain contexts offensive, and others acceptable or even desireable. Blame the never-ending wicked circle of turning clinical descriptions into insults, and turning insults into ironically acccepted positive descriptions.


Well what word instead of 'gay' would you like me to use to differentiate the two? My meaning was clear.

This is exactly the type of thing which scares devs off; having things forced in their faces. I'm gay, yet I'm disappointed at all this cringeworthy yaoi being posted. It's really lowering others' opinions on the standards of gay people (Not that the majority of homosexuals have a good reputation for being likeable or tolerable people).

My main problem is that people often use Dragon Age to defend BW's inclusion of no romance for gays (Or simple refusal to announce anything about it) by bringing up Zevran, a character that was as deep as a puddle and just as satisfying.

I would like nothing more than a Garrus romance for male Shep, especially seeing as it doesn't revolve around sex. It wouldn't be that difficult to swap in a small alteration to dialogue every now and then, nor would it hurt sales; straight people don't go looking for gay romances.

As a gay man I can understand how alien it seems to both straight men and women, and I can understand homophobia to an extent, having no faith in the entire 'gay community of whiners and paraders' business, but all in all, I am disappointed. Doesn't stop me from buying the game, but it'd be nice to know that I've been waiting for a decently written romance available to males (Not necessarily written as a gay romance) since Baldur's Gate and that I'm finally getting one.

Odin's beard, STOP POSTING FUTANARI.

 :mellow:

Inappropriate homoerotica is inappropriate. This may be an MA game, but this certainly isn't an MA board. Can it, guys.

Show some restraint.

Aw. The yaoi's not that bad. :innocent:

Am I the only one who didn't like the romance in BG? 

Then again it's probably because A? (I forgot how to spell his name) is a major douchebag. And I played female the one time I played through that game.

Are the male options really any better? :huh:

LOL at all the "OMG Its two guys kissing its inappropriate!" on this board. Honestly that makes me sad. :( Everyone's fully dressed, there's no groping or anything. Its a lot tamer than was actually in the ME game TBH.

And its not even yaoi. If it was yaoi it would be porn. :pinched:

Honestly people learn the bloody difference before you say something. :pinched:

Homosexuality is not wanted by more than 10% of the player base. Can I Prove it? No, but its common sense. Probably only 1-3% of the player base is homosexual.



Men being men, woman on woman action is much more wanted, so probably 75%+ want that option in the game, which is why it is in.



Homosexuality will not have a place in video games within the next 25 years, not a signifigant one anyway. I'm sorry but its true.

Seriously.  Get laid.  With a girl.  It'll be fun, I promise.  Want to know why?  BUILT IN LUBE!!!

Also,  on a more serious note:
I don't know what you expect.  Homosexuals are what,  6 or 7 percent of the population?  Since there are eight different combos of relationship in ME2 (3 mshep, 3fshep, each with kelly) and one of them are homosexual, that would put the percentage of relationships in ME2 that are homosexual at roughly 12 percent, double the percentage of homosexuals in the US.  But maybe that's not enough.  Perhaps Bioware should appease every single minority out there....   

 I WANT A GAY NATIVE AMERICAN TRANSVESTITE OR IM THE VICTIM OF PREJUDICE!!!

I mean come on dude.  Just enjoy the game.  If you want to screw guys, make a chick sheperd.  It's that easy.  Did you ever think that it just doesn't fit any of the characters in ME2 to be gay?  I mean come on...  Thane is a badass assassin who I'm surprised is a romance for ANYBODY.  Garrus is a turian (very conservative).  Maybe Jacob, I guess.  But that's only because I really don't know the character all that well.  I'm not trying to offend you, but look at it this way.  Homosexuals are a minority.  The VAST minority.  Don't expect a whole lot of representation.

Can't prove but can't resist posting it here... Hm. No matter that many, many fandom straight women love m/m fanfiction, fanart, fanservice, etc.

True, but the same works for women too. Why do you think pictures such as those posted on this thread exist? They're not just (or perhaps not even primarily) for gay men.

When women play male characters in DA:O, who do think is the most popular love interest? That's right, Zevran.

Homosexuality will not have a place in video games within the next 25 years, not a signifigant one anyway. I'm sorry but its true.

First of all, you have no proof of any assertions you've made in your post, so you can hardly call him out on not having any.  Secondly, chicks are a gaming minority, the same as gay males.

Exactly.. homosexuals think they are a "race" or something and should be represented in every single piece of media.. its just silly and isn't going to happen, the majority of the world will never be homosexual..



If every type of person did what the OP was doing and demanded to be represented in ME imagine what we would have..



In mass effect 3 we'd probably have a pet dog on board the normandy and have a quest that involves romancing him, buying him treats from all over the universe so that you can.. you know...if homosexual can be represented, why can't beastiality? both are against nature... theres probably just as many lassie lovers out there as there are hulk hogan lovers if you get what i mean..

Be careful what you wish for. I wished that the Garrus and Tali threads would go away; and look what happened: Now we're left with Gay pride threads. As soon as people get what they want, they'll jump to another topic until they get their way.

You can not please everyone nor will you ever please everyone.

Some people will whinge and b!tch and moan so long as their arses point to the ground.

And please, again, I reiterate - please stop posting homoerotica. It's inappropriate.
