"Be grateful for what they have," is literally the same thing they tell female gamers every time we dare complain about the general lack of female protagonists in gameplay, so it feels pretty hypocritical to say that given your gender flair. It's not the same at all. Female gaming community has grown exponentially. More and more girls and young women are growing up playing games now than ever before. Naturally, it makes sense that you'd see more female or female-oriented things in response. But by that logic, it naturally makes sense that we'd see more LGBT+ or LGBT+-oriented things as well in response to more LGBT+ players playing video games. |

Right there with you.  At least Deus Ex got DLC and support before it went on hiatus. Hopefully ME:A gets something like that. Well, there is that tweet from Cora's VA mentioning her doing new stuff for Cora so we have at least one DLC coming. I could see them supporting the planned DLC cycle and then enacting the hiatus, hopefully. I think it'd take more than one DLC to address the remaining loose threads (quarian ark, Benefactor, the Primus, etc.) But they might have intended some if those to be sequel bait, not DLC. Thanks for the info on Cora's VA  It's nice to hear that they didn't just scrap the whole thing only a few months after release. |

Alright, you can disagree with people and you don't have to be nice about it, but the line stops at personal attacks, yes? Good. What? Context please? |

Right also OH BLACK PEOPLE/PEOPLE OF COLOUR ARE A MINORITY SO THEY'RE NOT IMPORTANT THEY CAN JUST GET ENSLAVED AND SHOT DOWN IN THE STREETS WITH NO CONSEQUENCE. Really? You really wanna use stats to talk about social issues? Oh homeless people don't contribute to society while working people contribute 100% to a country's GDP so fuck homeless people. Please don't compare black people/people of color struggles to Bioware fixing something in a game. You could've used a different example or something that was closer to the situation. |

Sorry I jump the gun a lot (also am really salty today) but I did talk about LGBT people in a later reply tho. Not sure if it's better, but I was trying to relate minorities earlier. |

Can't recall what it said regarding the Primus, but I know the Benefactor story was planned to be a part of the megastory in the Andromeda games, so yeah that one was meant for sequels. The Quarian Ark is pretty much guaranteed for DLC with how on the hammer they are about it at the end of the game. You're welcome. Yeah the fact she is doing that only a few days ago means they didn't just quit completely. |

I'm not in the mood to see homophobia being defended because there are more straight people than gay people. I'm just... no, this is not happening. Any mod that allows this to happen is a joke.

Besides a vocal minority they don't seem mind equality all that much so why should Bioware worry about pandering all the time? |

You have made the first point quite clear, and I think that is a very laudable rule to enforce. However, you have not addressed my original inquiry. |

This person has 7 posts on the forum and 5 of them are about (flawed) LGBT demographic percentages. They're either a troll or have an unhealthy obsession with queer people and a need to de-legitimize them. Not worth responding to either way. |

Personally I think it's more likely she comitted suicide in prison after Cerberus was destroyed. Loyal to the end type. Probably sold herself to the Illusive Man on occasion. |

It would be great if the normal people in the thread would stop glossing over this absurd "2%" nonsense. Look up the recent statistics (shockingly you have to avoid the fake ones created by religious organisations), look around in the world a bit, and just don't let the idiotic troll get away with it. "Yeah maybe we are or aren't 2%... bla bla but that's not the point". While accurate, and the argument itself for "they are ONLY x% so fk 'em" is objectively wrong and absurd, ignoring the very usage of this nonsense or letting it slide is just... I mean really?  Spoiler alert 1: No, the population of gay people is not "just" 2%. Spoiler alert 2: Even if it was, that would not justify anything the troll was babbling about. Spoiler alert 3: DUH! |
