With Mass Effect: Andromeda, Bioware Improved on Its Gay Relationships - Article

Homophobic and you make light of rape. Thanks for making that clear, you just lost everyone's respect. Good day.

At least i'm a decent person.

I don't how what mannyray said was homophobic or making light of rape anyone care to explain? It seems like he is trying to say that a character sexuality shouldn't matter in a video game because if all that character got going for it is they like men, women, or both then that is not a very interesting character at all. If a Dev make a game about a gay character is all he/she has going for them is they are gay then no is going to care about that character because that is a boring character most people don't care what you do in your sex life. Like what you like just don't expect people to care or want forced on them.

I'm not going to argue about the actual % of the population that is LGBT, because it's unknown.

I will, however, suggest that the % of BioWare customers who are LGBT is probably much higher than the % of LGBT persons in the general population. BioWare's support of LGBT relationships and fans in their products is a very attractive feature, and I'd be shocked if it didn't translate to greater sales among the LGBT population.


Didn't you know? Admiral Hackett, Director Tann, Foster Addison, Morda - all gay, Anderson & Kaylee Sanders were both bi and so are Bradley and Capt. Dunn.

Yeah, I'm kidding. Maybe. I'm not one to assume straight as the default for everyone, and in the case of couples (Anderson/Sanders, Bradley/Dunn), I don't assume their apparent sexuality is their actual sexuality, because I know it isn't always so.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and state that there have been plot important openly gay characters in ME: Steve Cortez and Samantha Traynor.

I adore Cortez. Shepard had the privilege of helping him make a difficult transition from mourning his husband to realizing his life was still worth living, and became BFFs in the process (move over, Garrus). Not a squadmate, but the next best thing - as the shuttle pilot, he went on every single mission and had his share of heroic moments. Maybe more than his share, to the point where he nearly outshone Joker. Exceptionally talented, dedicated, loyal, hard-working - any male Shepard who was willing to be a little patient with him had the opportunity to end up with a phenomenal partner.

Traynor also had quite a bit of content, an important role, and plot relevance in her recognition of the signals that led them to the Grissom rescue and finding Cerberus HQ.

Liara had plot relevance starting in ME1, as did Kaidan.

So - BTDT.

dhalion welcome back to the mess that is BSN!

I miss your last display name (and @lee80 's as well hehe). Anyways here's a complimentary bird video:

I know exactly why. You clearly don't have the faintest clue.

Jacob is a total failure of a character. If we applied the same standards to bi Jaal it would be just as bad as the black guy that potentially cheats on his girlfriend and knocks up a chick he barely knows, hmm. 

It's also rich hearing you call people "childish" while throwing your buzzwordy "triggered" shit in every sentence. Please try harder to wrangle an original thought instead of just repeating stale edgelord BS like your thoughts are somehow enlightened and revolutionary. Nobody has any trouble understanding your point, trust me. It's the same unoriginal shit we've all heard a thousand times. You're not special, kiddo. 

Projection is such a sad last resort.   

Nobody is "too upset". You're just wrong. It's easier to believe people disagree with you because everyone else is super emotional and you're a paragon of rationality and logic, but really you just have no argument outside of alleging everyone else is "triggered" when you're the one that admitted you only escalated because other posters affected you. 

If you've read the dialogue between me and some other posters in this thread over the last couple hours you wouldn't have asked that.

And of course you didn't cite any of the baiting dialogue anyone here had directly to my posts.
