Look, the way I see it, if the worst does come to pass, we can bug the devs on twitter about making whoever the gay options are full squadmates next game, and we can talk about how frustrated we are about the results without them going " just trust us and see." Since by the point it's released, we'll know for certain. Like that Gil guy. He's an engineer, right? Well, what's keeping Bioware from making him pick up a gun and use the engineer class? If he's a good character, we'll try as the LGBT fanbase to make him so popular that he'll be elevated to fan favorite status, using that as a springboard to convince the devs he should be made a squadmate in a future title. My point is: there's nothing we can do about the options right now. What's done is done. As LGBT consumers, we need to figure out how to respond to this without falling apart at the seams. We need to be proactive, not just reactive. There's plenty of real problems with this game without this nonsense

There's not many dating sims that let you fondle alien nuts while having nuts, and then also go space exploring and shoot things. Sorry. Aaaahh, so this is why you want Drack! It would be like juggling. I guess you can say I'm a juggler. And Drack seems like he has a lot to juggle! And gargle. Lmao if BW wants to keep the male gays to a minimum in ME:A that's fine, whatever. But DA4 better be a goddamn sausagefest for the gays. We talkin' DA:I's amount of romances for straight females type of sausagefest. Goddang. Oooooo, I like you! Oh please there's nothing likable about me! I'm just in this for my own satisfaction. I mean, if ME:A is horrid in terms of gay male content, you'd think they'll make up for it in the next DA installment, yea, yea?! So really I'm just a selfish bag of dicks lol.

My point is: there's nothing we can do about the options right now. What's done is done. As LGBT consumers, we need to figure out how to respond to this without falling apart at the seams. We need to be proactive, not just reactive. Exactly. The problem at the moment is that we still don't know, so the response of many, including myself, is more "I'm waiting until we know for certain" than anything. If we know it's true then I'm sure we could plan some form of poll, twitter movement or something to get the BSN's voice on the matter heard. Even many of the people who aren't interested in LGB content would agree that one demographic having no squad romances while all the others have 2+ is an awful thing for them to do, if it came out. And certain gaming news outlets would be all over it. So even in the worst case scenario we aren't powerless. Look at the change that resulted from feedback to ME3's ending.

Well, I have good news! They announced that Jo Berry is writing Suvi. That means part of the leak was wrong. If even part of it is wrong, then that means more of it could be wrong.
Let's hope this means we'll be pleasantly surprised.

There are definitely M/M romances. We just don't know if they are on the squad. Personally, I'm not to fussed about the distinction, so long as the non-squad romances have equal-ish content. I don't really agree with people who claim that BW is somehow regressing for not having a bi/gay male squaddie, because, like I said, I don't get why it makes a difference if they're a squaddie or not (I know why people say they care about the difference, I don't agree with their reasoning either). I'm just going to wait and see how things actually pan out with M/M romances. I'll be very happy if Jaal turns out to be bi, but Gil Brodie has piqued my interest so ... eh . As an aside, I didn't really look forward to Bull or Dorian (STOOOPID moustache) in DA:I, Cassandra was my favourite romance and frankly I really wanted Vivienne. Have we had confirmation there are M/M romances at all? It'll be frustrating if none with the squad but if they are done properly with non-squadmates that could still be ok. No confirmations, only leaks, like hetero Jaal. And our chief engineer, Gil Brodie (voiced by Renly Baratheon actor from GoT) likes to flirt with mRyder.

There's plenty of real problems with this game without this nonsense If you don't care about romances then why are you in this thread? If it's only to call people words and be a spiteful prick, you might as well leave, nobody is forcing you to take part in this nonsense, that was your decision, and it seems the only thing you care about is being downright unpleasant and cause unnecessary drama. Oh there's already plenty of drama going on.

On old BSN someone once (lovingly and affectionately lol) referred to you as a "militant gay." (This person was also gay) Now every time I see your username I go, ah, there he is, the militant gay! It makes me laugh lol They were right; you're pretty awesome... and I think at the time you were yelling at me for something I said. I don't remember what we were talking about, but I remember that much!

I agree on your second phrase

But yes, I guess I am the resident militant gay, making people uncomfortable by talking about alien nuts and posting Male Shepard x Grunt, at your service.
