Best defense against #MakeJaalBi ever

Personally, I think how he flirts exclusively with female NPCs is a better indication of his sexuality. He is from a culture where you're open with your feelings and where homosexual behavior is not frowned upon as far as we've seen so it's not like angara would hide an attraction. I don't see there being much to indicate that Jaal is or could be bisexual. Yes, I know that there are recorded lines between him and male Ryder but I believe I've heard that such lines have similarly been recorded in the past. I believe Sera is an example of such with a male Inquisitor?

Personally, I think it's best for Bioware to do better in the next game and maybe add a NPC romance in the DLC but I would rather that Bioware not change a character's sexuality. I'm not fond of that happening to a character no matter their sexuality.

This is rather unrelated but something I've been meaning to get off my chest for a while. I rather like how that story indicates how some aspects of Jaal's personality likely developed such as his insecurity. It's an example of why I would not like to see playersexuality be implemented since we wouldn't have stories like that.

I had no idea that Kaidan, Fenris, and Zevran are all straight.

...Oh, wait. No, it's just they were only written to be more vocally attracted to women. Anyways, aren't you the same guy who got upset over Avitus and Macen because they're gay? It doesn't sound like you're an unbiased party when it comes to gay stuff, sorry.

You see, he was just helping to suck out the poison from Scott's lips after he was bitten by a poisonous indigenous species while exploring. That's exactly what happened! What a good platonic buddy.

I thought that they only recorded a single "I love you Jaal" line from Scott?

Also, yeah, I can't believe that anyone thinks having an o/s partner in the past means that someone can't be bisexual.  Really? 

Ahhh, I didn't realize it wasn't fully recorded. For some reason I was under the impression that there was a full Scott romance already recorded but that they just didnt implement it due to timing or whatever. That... changes things then. I mean, it doesn't bother me if they do go make him bi - spread the love, I say - but there would be less incentive to do so if they haven't recorded lines for the romance. Meh.

And I totally think he is bisexual, because the only reason I can think off for him breaking up with F!Ryder who shoots Akksul, is that if that tension between the two men was due to them being in love with each-other. So, when Ryder shoots Akksul dead, Jaal finally realizes that it was only Akksul he'd ever loved... so he can't go on romancing the PC.

I hope everyone else sees that as a definitive proof of Jaal being a bi!!!

Weird that they record just one line though. Like, why bother? If you decide to make a character bi after the fact then you'll have to get the VA to go back in and record more lines anyway. Right?

I'm pretty sure on Twitter Tom Taylorson believed Jaal was romanceable by Scott, so, like you, I also assumed they had some substantial voicing done. If it really is just that "I love you" line and nothing else, why would Taylorson think Jaal could be romanced by Scott?

Ah, the day I can sort out who was in love with whom in that soap opera drama, I am gonna pen a fanfiction extraordinaire... I can just see it...

The young Human Girl, only 22, her feelings in disarray as she travels to a far away planet to discover two macho aliens, in interesting pastel shades.

Jaal, oh so reasonable and willing to help!

Akksul - oh, so intractably hostile and claiming he wants to kill her, and Jaal and all Humans!

How they all SUFFER!

But wait!

Jaal reveals that Akksul and him were rivals from early age!

And those messages from Akksul, more and more private in nature...

Finally, in the very heart of the ROMANTIC ANCIENT shrine, the three young and adorably SUFFERING protagonists all stand ready to shoot each-other, while FIGHTING their FEELINGS!

Is it Jaal + Akksul = TRUE LOVE, while Tishujen <3 Jaal and Akksul, and Jaal just thought he loved Tishujen? Did Tishujen just <3 Jaal? Or Akksul? Or...

WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT FATEFUL MOMENT?

And when the SHOT was fired, WHO did it?

Akksul?

Tishujen?

OMG.

As I said, the moment I sort out what possible combo is the hottest, I'll get right on it!!!

They do that. It's common in video games, especially BW ones. Most likely they attempted to write Jaal as bi, it didn't work and they left that old file in there. That's why datamining is not reliable. A friend said they knew of the romances for a few years, and he was not bi when they were told of them.

Yeah, Taylorson never said he was bi pre-release. I'm petty sure though that he was just as confused as others post-release when Jaal was revealed to be only for Sara. I don't think Taylorson ever intentionally meant to queerbait anyone, though. Think he was just trying to keep hope alive for some.
