Actually we're mostly just looking at your president. Eh, we’ve spent more time hanging out with Sten and Bull than with the Arishok, so it’s not quite equivalent to just looking at the US president. Still a skewed sample set, though. Sure. I'm just saying that's where we get our opinion of Americans.

Kinda seems like all the discussion about Maevaris being a potential LI should be happening over here and not in a thread about the sexiest fictional species (although I'd argue that such a topic also falls under my purview).

And the majority of Americans want stricter gun control, but, you know, lobbyists, corporate money, corruption, etc.

Doing a Kaidanmancer journey with rondeeno's mods right now I'm having a blast and even liking more ME2 since it tones down the heteronormativity. Please somebody send me strength to not pick many Thane flirts and being faithful to Kaidan I hope Bioware does not cut more gay content.... What we could have had!

If it doesn't surpass Witcher romance, or Vivienne as a romance option then I'm not interested. "Mages should use their magic RESPONSIBLY if they want to be trusted, like IIIII do when I use it to MURDER people at PARTIES." What's your point

I could not thank them enough when I talked to them on our Discord channel. I just want to add that the mod also restores some f/f content as well. I want to try Thane romance some day even it ends in a sad way but yeah not romancing Kaidan through ME 1-2-3 will be difficult, especially now that I don't have to use console commands to get m/m content in ME1 and that I won't get misgendered anymore. While I love these mods, I hope that there will no need for them for future Bioware games. Just give us some equal and quality romances, Bioware! Edit: links to the mods: [ ME1] [ ME2] [ ME3]

Edit: links to the mods: [ ME1] [ ME2] [ ME3] yeah! the mods fix a lot of things!! sadly it does not take away the forced heteronormativity that the first two games have, just did Illium and I didnt remember Shiala pretty much has a crush on you and Shep smiles when she says both could have something? LIKE I'M GAY Casey Hudson wtf (I'm totally scared about him being lead-whatever again *disgusted noise*). ME2 is a game that is painful to roleplay... In other news, I just recruited Thane and I'm gonna flirt the hellp out of him I hope I dont screw Kaidan romance lol does anybody know when are you locked in with him????? I'l probably take one flirt and that's it dunno

In other news, I just recruited Thane and I'm gonna flirt the hellp out of him I hope I dont screw Kaidan romance lol does anybody know when are you locked in with him????? I'l probably take one flirt and that's it dunno I was just thinking about this, and here is the real problem I have with Shiala. I mean, yes, I, too, play my Shepard as gay, but I don't always play my characters as gay, and I, personally, think girls are cute/sexy and do not mind flirting, so... what, I ask myself, is it about this scene that creeps me the fuck out so much. And I think a big part of it is the massive assumption on the part of the writers. One, writers assume, because I am playing a male character, that I am a straight man. Two, writers assume that because I am a straight man, I would be eager to have sex with a pretty woman I don't really know at ALL just because she propositions me. And three, Shiala is given NO REAL characterization here other than "hot woman who suddenly wants to sleep with you," which is a massive problem throughout the trilogy. Women, especially asari (who are not even supposed to be "women") are written as walking sex dolls to cater to the hypothetical perpetually randy straight male player. It's an insult to everyone involved, including the player, regardless of sex, gender identity, and sexuality. I just... I hate it. It's like a 12 year old horny boy wrote it, hell, wrote all of ME2, really. Mass Effect writing does seem to have evolved from that SOMEWHAT, but of course we still have the scene like the Peebee intro scene in MEA, which took a concerted effort from fans for them to change it. The Peebee scene is 100% the same as the scene described above and is, again, an insult to all parties.

The Peebee scene is 100% the same as the scene described above and is, again, an insult to all parties. The major difference being you can completely avoid that side quest character-but you have to be assaulted by Peebee every run. Also, they took it to a whole new level. Ugh, it's so gross. I know straight guys that felt it was in poor taste even. I think the animators spend so much time with the characters they assume that everyone will love them (especially they think all people men, women, others are all attracted to women). Even still, they have to at some point learn that not everyone wants to have over-sexualized content of any sort. To force something like that so early on is tacky at best, and offensive to many people.

Even still, they have to at some point learn that not everyone wants to have over-sexualized content of any sort. To force something like that so early on is tacky at best, and offensive to many people. And it's overall insulting to women that they consistently portray female characters in this hypersexualized fashion, too. Honestly, you can see the maturity level in the writing (or lack thereof) when you compare it to Dragon Age, where you have, of course, Isabela. Isabela hits on Hawke as soon as the first part of her quest is over, but somehow she does NOT feel like a sex doll created solely for the pleasure of the hypothetical sex-crazed straight male gamer. Isabela has personality and agency, and we see all of this even before we meet her (when she handily beats down those low life thugs). So, I don't mind a female character being sexy and aggressive in her flirts, but she needs to feel like a whole person. Not a sex doll, which is what I feel when the Mass Effect writers try to write women coming on to the player. (Also, I really love Hawke's expression after Isabela propositions them ... it can be interpreted to such a wide degree that my female Hawke is like, oh shit, me likey lmao and my male Hawke is more like, she's great, I'm gonna keep her haha).
