And why are people expecting BioWare to deliver that in the next patch instead of fixing the game?

It became a thing when files were datamined and Jaal was revealed to be for both Scott and Sara. But then the day before release, it was revealed through prima guide that Jaal is indeed just straight, and gay men only have one crew romance (who has a CC face, has little to no plot relevancy, a romance that is quite problematic to some and focuses a bit too much on his sexuality, has a fade to black sex scene, has the least amount of content etc etc etc) and one fling (who has a badly animated variant of the romance culmination scene for men) for romance options, while everyone else at least two squadmates and an alien romance.
In the end, people have different priorities when it comes to games. A lot of LGBT folk seek solace in BW games because it's that one company that cares enough about us to include us into their games. But this time, they took that LGBT admiration for granted and assumed LGBT folk, namely gay/bi men will be happy with whatever scraps they throw at us. Thus, #MakeJaalBi was born.
Just because people care about the romances, doesn't mean they don't care about the rest. But it's just priorities. Let people enjoy the games for their own reasons, yes? There's nothing wrong with that. Hell, I wouldn't have touched Dragon Age Inquisition unless it was pointed out to me that you can bang Iron Bull as a dude. And to this day, I have 1050 hours on DA:I and I love the series, not just for the romances.
Nobody is expecting Jaal to be '' patched as Bi '' but the hashtag is more like a message that hey BW, you kinda fucked up with your m/m romances and it stifles our enjoyment of the game. Is that too bad to point out?

And hey, if the bugs get fixed, will you be supporting our quest for better gay content? I don't think so. Besides, I've gone through the game TWICE now, so... get rekt?

Maybe having a squadmate romance is important to them? You're free to look down on them for caring so much about fictional romances, but there are also people out there who will look down on you for caring about fictional friendships or playing Bioware games or even for playing games in general.

Priorities? We have dismissed this claim. smh That... maybe the people that want to game to actually be fixed should make a couple of hastags too, that seams to get BWs attention... oh, wait, it's the "who", not the "what" that's important here. Never mind...

It's not an RPG, and it's not much of a shooter, so what else could it be? Besides, look at the outrage over 'not as many gay romance options as straight ones' or 'Cora is totally queer-coded'. A lot of players choose the lowest difficulty and barely tolerate the gameplay to get to the next bit of "romance".

That makes no sense. Way to blow things out of proportion, it doesn't work like that.

a thing becomes a hashtag the moment you put a # before something, like you did in the OP. I'd love for Jaal to become bi, can't wait to see that horrific bubblegum snakerabbit to go down on Scott and put the vacuum on. I'd put it as my wallpaper everywhere.

Let's focus on the more important stuff and satisfy the majority first. Not the very loud and vocal minority. #MakeSuviBi
As a straight male, I'm also given one human female companion on the ship as a romance option. Really???? I get to choose between human or alien basically.
Jokes aside, they won't rewrite Jaal's character so the protesting is just another tumblr/ twitter attention grab. The gay community in terms of men get to choose between Reyes and Gil. Both are awesome characters and already more human options than a straight male player gets.
We better get a straight female quarian in dlc with Orbs that make Tali sweat!

Of course when you belong to a demographic that wont ever feel exclusion, your only problem will be only Pingu animations. Maybe if such demographic focused more on doing something useful or simply living as everyone else does, instead of trying to shove their inclusion into everyone's throat, then inclusion would not be an issue at all. It just like with the racism - the more you talk about it and the more you try to make it look like a bigger problem, the more racism there becomes. In other words, in 2017 nobody would really care about whether one has different skin color or belongs to this or that minority, if not for the ppl that feel the constant need to remind about this, thinking they championing anything else but their own attention seeking.

When you say '' nobody is saying you should stop complaining '' but also say '' you should wait until the real problems are fixed '' you really come off as wanting to start shit for no apparent reason. I don't understand what you want from people?
