I believe I posted this waaay back, but w/e I'm in a good mood for humor:
-Shepard walks in on Tali pointing a gun at Legion-
Tali: Shepard!
Shepard: Whats going on here, Tali?
Tali: The geth! He was trying to access my omni-tool.
Shepard: Legion, is this true?
Legion: Yes Shepard Commander.
Shepard: Why?
Legion: This platform simply just wanted to relay a message to the others.
Shepard: Well.. whats wrong with that Tali?
Tali: What? B-but what if he presses a wrong button or destroys it or something?
Legion: Inpropable. Geth are very knowledgeable in omni-tools. Watch.
--clicks a button on her omni-tool--
--Message playback is heard with Tali's voice--
Keelah! Today was soooooo goooood! Shepard came down to the engineering deck this morning... and he did the CUTEST thing~
He just like, walked past me and gave me this smile... Thank Keelah for this helmet -- I would of been SOOOO embarrassed if he saw me... I practically melted under my suit!
Damn it, how can anyone resist.. that..? it.. it.. its just soo... -sighs dreamily-

I just find some people's fascination with Tali slightly unhealthy, I like her but yeah I don't like her as much as some people in this thread. I do wish to keep her around though she fits my Shepard like a glove.
I understand where you are coming from, and if I were a few years younger(I`m 25) I'd probably be more "rabid" than I am now, but Tali is a charachter that really speaks to people about what they want in a romantic partner, not as just a mere sexual partner, but as a close friend one wouldd like to always have by one's side and share one's life with. Girls like her are rare in fiction and extremely rare if nonexistant IRL. I was just lucky enough to find a girl like that IRL, and I`m truly thankful for her every day(Gonna be 3 years anniversary in March! YAHOO!).

i'm gonna go for a bit. i hope this whole "Anti-Tali" Bullsh- is gone by the time i'm back. >
Oh just people posting about how UNNATURAL our attraction to Tali is and that we're all disturbed...
*Curls up next to Tali plushie* The precious...we wants it...we needs it...
It's all to easy to criticize though. I do think there are lines that separate "healthy" and "unhealthy" interest in person or topic, however experiencing profound emotions for a fictional character that is so finely crafted in a visual medium does not warrant the adjective "weird" in my opinion. Humans are visual creatures and react to visual stimuli, but we are also much more than that and emotions do not play by the same rules as cool logic. It is a testament to BioWare's ability to create believable characters that we can relate to as though they were living, breathing people. The mind is not limited to solely direct physical input - it blurs the boundaries between what is reality as defined by the greater concensus of humanity and what is fantasy. Sometimes the two begin to overlap and when you combine that with human beings natural ability to assert their inquisitive minds and ability to fantasize it should hardly come as a surprise that we are able to project feelings, desiries and thoughts on to fictional characters and creatures when they are so well created as to mimick real life counter parts. There is nothing weird about that phenomenon itself as far as I'm concerned.
Now if you begin to lose the ability to get through your daily duties and responsibilities, if you end up failing to take care of yourself or intentionally/violently harming other individuals without reasonable provocation, then I would say that it might be time for an intervention of some sort.
I love Tali as the person she symbolizes. Would I love for her to be real and accessible in person? Would I ever! Do even remotely expect that to happen? Nope (which makes me a bit of a sad panda but such is life at times). What does give me hope is that since Tali reflects various human traits which I happen to find appealing, that perhaps I may someday encounter a woman who shares those traits and perhaps hit it off with said woman. Is that weird? How so? It's no more weird than some guy drooling over the thought of getting with the well endowed blonde cheerleader (for example) type that he's been fantasizing and lusting for since puberty hit. The difference is that his source inspiration may have originated from a real life person to start with (or an actress emulating such a think on television, etc.) whereas my source inspiration comes from a well-crafted computer game (also a visual medium) that bases its input on human variables.

I haven't tried it in the captain's cabin, but I did deny her once (the Paragon way) in Engineering. She responded with a heart wrenching "*sigh* Can't blame a girl for asking/trying". It was bad. Thank the powers that may be that saves and quickload functions were invented!

I think if she is exiled she will probably just stay that way, but I could be wrong. Of course some people may have just revealed the data her father found and got him named as a traitor and lost her loyalty but she would still be a flotilla citizen in good standing.

Not really off-topic per se... anyone have a good Tali wallpaper?
My current: morganagod.deviantart.com/art/Tali-s-Ass-Effect-Wallpaper-145147741 is a lil too posterior-centric for my tastes
