So that means you have to bring yourself down to their level?

If activism is the only way to get results, then it would be foolish to sit passively and wait for service that may never come. If you have alternate suggestions, please share them.

Truth be told, I was initially in support of the gay community getting a choice in romance options, but after viewing thread after thread on the topic for the last couple of weeks I hope they don't give you the option. Simply for the fact that if they do it'll show all you have to do is stir up a small group of people and get them to whine incessantly to get whatever you want.

Wow, that sounds pretty vindictive of you if true.
I think there's a difference between the LGBT community and say, Talimancers in terms of getting what they want. I think it's a legitimate complaint that gay and lesbians aren't represented in the game espesially given Bioware's past history.

Yep, it's entirely true. And no, there's no difference whatsoever, as this is a video game. The developers can do whatever they wish and represent whomever they choose, I think it's time people started accepting that. It almost seems as though people are feeling offended over this, as if it's an attack of the gay community or something. I'm all for gay rights, but whining and complaining over their exclusion in a video game is just pathetic to me.

Lol how is "whining" for say Tali/Garrus any different then "whining" for m/m.  At least the former is atainable in real life.

Where did I say it was any different? They're just as much to blame for their incessant whining as are the people whining for gay romance in the game.

Lol, so as paying customers of a game we're not allowed to "whine" for something you want or don't agree with?  Is that what you're saying?  And I don't see anyone whining I see people putting up perfectly good reasons as to why m/m relationships should be in the game.

The best way to tell them you're a dissatisfied customer is to stop being a paying customer. I think by now BioWare has heard loud and clear that you want homosexual romance in the game, if the fact that a BW employee even posted in this thread wasn't enough evidence of that. Besides, as has been reiterated countless times, this is BioWare's game, not yours, not mine, it's theirs. They can do whatever the hell they want with it, and gay romance clearly isn't something they want for ME2.

You've never experienced standing up to anyone, have you? I like that people are willing to act for what they want instead of just sitting passively waiting that someone would notice them and carter to them without request. Thus, I want to help them. It has nothing to do with "protection".

I stand up to a lot of people. You included. And that definitely infuriates you it seems. Maybe you aren't too used to it?

And I stand up for a lot of things that don't personally involve me. You know, things that are worth it, not "virtual gay rights in videogames".

Exactly. It isn't controversial. Not any more. How many magazines published shock-articles about Dragon Age? I thought so. Time has passed that controversy. That's the point; homosexuality in video games is no longer a matter of shock to most people.

In Mass Effect 1 it has been, ergo, they steered clear, and they probably saved themselves trouble. Dragon Age is much more of a niche product compared to Mass Effect.

Quite a few, actually. If you feel so strongly about it, quit giving BioWare your money, and to add to that, write a formal letter to one of the executives (or hell, more than one) at either BW or EA and express the fact that you aren't satisfied and that they've lost a customer over it.

Posting on a forum while continuing to give BW your money doesn't exactly give them much incentive to make any changes for your benefit.

Double post.

But hey, it gives him a chance to play the internet messiah. Of course, most of those quit as soon as it actually starts taking them any real effort. Let alone missing their game.
