Well, if I remember correctly, somebody points a gun at Peebee's head the moment after she tackles you and makes that face. So at least SOMEONE on our team isn't having any of that. Considering the gun had a blade on it, I think it was Drack since Drack's shotgun has one.

How peeps would react if that scene was with a male character instead of Peebee... Oh boy. Humanity is a funny thing Wouldn't it be grand if they gave us one of those interrupts there to move to the side and let her face plant herself into the ground? Not enough to hurt her, mind you, just letting her that that's a no-no with this Ryder. I just hope that IF she is doing it to save Ryder for some horrible fate, that she moves away so it don't go like in most films and animes where they stare at each other for eternity and they jump away like cats. Would be embarrassing if I died just because she is on top of me right after she just saved me.

Probably the same as everybody that is freaking out that a girl jumped on Ryder. Without context I must mention. So Humanity is as always the same no matter what your sexuality is. Is that you point? It's the double standard that's the kicker here. People were outraged that Anders had the gall to flirt with them and then disapprove if male Hawke turns him down. And yet gay players have to deal with so much more explicit instances of females being literally shoved onto their character. Like this, for example. The heteronormativity and the implication that everyone will like this scene is what is annoying about it. They would never have Liam do this for example. I'm sorry that you are so offended that a female character is jumping on the player character because it's in her (distorted) personality to do so. Actually, I'm not sorry at all since that isn't a sexual situation, if it were a sexual situation then you may have a point. However, all you have now is a bit of unfounded rage that you are incorrectly lumping on the "evil straight people". TL;DR, you are behaving in an equivalent manner as the people that complained about Anders in DA2. You are basically saying, "BioWare is FORCING me to sit through the STRAIGHT AGENDA! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME?!!?!". I imagine I shall now be blocked and reported for this post for being "insensitive".

Actually this is hilarious, I've changed my mind. Keep it up man, I needed this laugh tonight. I'm glad you think the persecution we heterosexuals face at the hands of the queer agenda is funny. I'm all for making edgy jokes but you are taking this to far bro. You might want to scale it back a couple of notches.

You might want to scale it back a couple of notches. He is doing a rather good parody of the reactions that some people are havng in this thread. He's just switching the terms around. If that somehow offends you, then you now know how others are feeling about those posts. Yet he is somehow in the wrong here?

Dear, I can assure you that it was nothing of the sort. At any rate, I am not outraged. I am simply fatigued that I have to deal with the likes of this from Peebee, and also making a 'what if' joke about Liam.

Some will hate one thing or another. It don't help to be worked up about it and say things like "if it was like this straight people would hate it". It is just as bad as say all homosexual are like this or all Bi is like this. For example, I'm straight. I don't care if it would be peebee, Cora, Liam, Jaal, Drack (ok, there I stop, I want to live) or some stranger. Because I don't know WHY she did it. And I don't know how I can react in that moment. Will there be idiots that are doing stupid things? Yes, does it help to face their stupid post? No, it will only give them more energy to continue. As I said before, ignore and report if they are doing something bad.

We also know that Scott can also flirt with Peebee and Vetra, Sara can flirt with Jaal, and Ian said that Sara "maybe" able to romance Peebee. We simply don't know a damn thing about m/m squad mate romance, and that is a source of frustration of people.

As a gay man I can tell you that it seems quite disappointing so far but that is no reason to rage at devs or anyone else for that matter especially when there is still possibility that there is an M/M romance amongst squadmates. People are taking this too far.

Not really, they have no problem adding gay content in the Dragon Age games. The lack of content is probably because of the demographics. Medieval RPG vs. Sci-Fi 3rd-person shooter. They probably looked at the amount of people who chose the options in ME3 and made a decision based off it. I don't think that would be the... ideal reference, seeing how disproportionate the options were .Not only because of that, but because of the circumstances that created the disproportionate options.
First, unless you make a specific choice two games earlier, there is only one option. If the player dislikes that option, they probably won't choose it.
And second, by the time gay options were added, players were already on the third game of a trilogy. They may have already said screw it and started a different romance which they wanted to see through to the end. Again not choosing the gay option.
Both circumstances negatively impact the chance that the gay options will be chosen in ME3, making any ME3 metrics a bad basis to build from for future games in that regard.

It almost feels meta.
