Is the BioWare/Mass Effect fanbase really filled with triggered snowflakes?

My fault for not wording correctly. There have of course been games led by female roles. Tomb Raider's Lara Croft is a good example. LGBT leading roles are a VERY new phenomenon. Pretty sure Tracer from Overwatch made a lot of people salty, but ultimately it has zero influence on their in-game experience, so again, they didn't care.

The idea here is that BioWare games ACTIVELY deal with these issues and make them the central focus of their side (or main) plotlines. It's not on the wayside.

So my question should have been: Give me one other RPG that allows you to play a woman or LGBT character, and interact with other female or LGBT characters, about issues that are possibly relevant to being one whether it is sexual or personal.

You have Anders and Zevran, who go out of their way to flirt with the PC. You have Isabella the randy pirate. You have Dorian with his conversion therapy storyline. There's the transgender Krem. Dragon Age and Mass Effect have A LOT of women in powerful roles, and DAO/DAI in particular explored the impact of being a woman. 

Do people not remember the backlash about Anders' flirtation? Pretty sure it started all this shit.
Not to mention all the complaints about how much women ruled the world in DA2. That was funny.

That distinction should be clear. There's a reason BioWare is called the SJW company. It's always in people's "faces".

Both groups are just haters for the hate's sake. Pointless to discuss with either side.

And that gif, that gif man. You can get a good idea of the poster's intellect with that. So much cringe. My bad, am triggered.

Look, my thing is that you can make a net to catch 95% of fish reliably or make a net that will catch 100% of the fish 1% of the time. I'll take that 95% all the damn days of the week, and twice on Sunday.

I'm just not understanding why BioWare isn't doing it.

You know, I understand about wanting to inclusive, but at what cost? Inclusivity at the cost of excluding, and in some cases making them actively hostile, 95% of your player base? That's a sure fire way to go straight down the shitter.

EDIT :  Also, inclusivity happens at a pace.  BioWare has made great strides in just their depiction of women, so much as to say that I don't think that many games would be made today that have a leading protagonist that are women as there are.   Rest on those laurels, take on something easier.   Don't be progressive for progression's sake.   It has to come naturally, or it won't come at all.

 I'm not sure "cringe" is a useful metric for this topic. The cringe had more to do with the general Girls-like vibe they were going for in places, rather than the LGBT-ness of the particular content.

What even... I admitted to have asked the incorrect question and rephrased what SHOULD have been the question, after answering my own question...

That's not moving the goalpost. That's continuing the discussion.

Care to actually answer?

Of course you won't be able to, because I know what the answer already is.

I already answered your question and you decided to move the post cause your claim was shut down by myself and others. All you are doing now is fighting for the idea that Bioware and only Bioware is the vanguard behind the diversity push in videogames and it is because of that....Bioware was bullied over MEA.

Again, I cant tell the difference between the SJWs and anti-SJWs.

As I said, it's as much about audiences as it is about teaching them a lesson. I remember clearly how John Riccitiello went on a rather lengthy online rant over catching the COD audience. More than five years ago. After that, they suddenly pushed back the release date for ME3, and whoops it came out with an MP shooter tacked on. They tried their best to catch the shooter crowd. More specifically, if Riccitiello had any say in the matter, the competitive online shooter crowd. One shouldn't apply the broad brush, but it's save to say, anit SJWs are more prominent among that audience. It's how the grew up with their games after all. It was always white muscle man as the protagonist and hardly any story to speak of.

Suffice to say, the first time anti SJW sentiments turned up in strength was with ME3. Is it a coincidence that this was also the first game featuring an MP shooter? Possible, but I don't think so.

I don't remember it with DAO. DA2, yes Anders. But that was also the first game where that terrible word streamlining came up and Button Awsome became a meme. But it still wasn't comparable to what happened with ME3 and carried over into DAI, where some joker even made a point of comparing Cassandras skeleton to male models to make an anti SJW point of women being ugly for the sake of uglyness.

That's not a bad idea, but it won't happen imo. Ever since the game industry went to voiced characters word count started going down. Mass Effect had 450,000 words of dialogue, Dragon Age Inquisition had roughly the same, whereas Origins had 750,000 words of dialogue and Baldur's Gate 2 word count was over a million. With the reduced word count size there isn't really room to delve deeply into things that aren't a priority and so (and other people might disagree) relationships from Bioware always feel superficial to me. It's feasible to do it over the course of a series, but Dragon Age chopss it's characters from one iteration to the next, and even Mass Effect would spread your squad to the wings at the end of every game. 

A cRPG is at heart a combat sim, and Bioware does epic combat stories. When they tried to go away from that in DA:2 to emphasise a more personal story (where you could possibly delve into these types of relationships) there was an epic (heh) backlash, because that's not what fans expect from them. Telltale could tell these relationships because relationships are at the core of some of their games, same with the Last of Us, same with Life is Strange, these games aren't RPGs, but with epic combat stories/sims (aka Bioware RPGs) relationships will always be lower down on the list of priorities and therefore will probably continue to be superficial.

Expectations? Expectations are what tore MEA down.

It could have been expectations of amazing quality in almost every single facet of the game (as if that is actually possible in a game of that breadth). 
I mean MEA is a shooter, so it has to appease that fanbase. It's also an RPG so that it has to appease that part too.  Then there's people that expect companion interactions etc..

It could also have been "negative" expectations to be a SJW-fest where people felt they were having topics shoved down their throat no matter what.
