Without waying in too heavily on this, there's a South Park Episode that immediately springs to mind where the kids read Catcher in the Rye and, deciding that it's not vulgar enough, write their own story designed to be as profane as humanly possible. It's instantly hailed as a classic with everyone assigning their own political interpretations/intent to the author, despite the original purpose being just to write a really graphic story.

 

Regardless, this is a lot of the time why I try to describe any piece of work in terms of the impact it has on me, rather than assigning motive to the writer.

 

Considering that I'm basing my assertions regarding Gaider's intent just as much on what he's said about it on these forums as I am my interpretation of the in-game content, I'd argue that I'm not really "assigning" him a motive as much as I am paraphrasing one that he's alluded to. I admit, I could still be wrong, but I don't think I'm taking as much liberty as you seem to be implying.

That actually wasn't meant for you at all, but was more a general response to how motive is often too liberally assigned to developers on these forums.

Cassandra is a romance option for gay men.

 

Sorry.. but I couldn't write that keeping a straight face.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Okay, let's get it straight. People always talk more about homosexual men than homosexual women. Why? Who knows, I won't speculate. If we talk more, it gets attention from people who write for us. End of story.

I think it's simpler than that. "Gay" is often used to refer just to gay men in English, while gay women are referred to as lesbians. That's why it's "LGBT" rather than just "GBT."
