I am so getting drunk and high and blasting Cher music... cloaked in my LGBT pride flag right now... of course I'm not, but I really feel the need to just drown myself in LGBT stuff to feel better about myself and being gay goddamn Watch "San Junipero", an episode of Black Mirror on Netflix. It's like gay dopamine.

I'm still going to play and probably enjoy the game because Vetra! But I am disappointed and I won't be pre-ordering another Bioware game again. Fooled me once, matey. I'm excited for the people who wanted bi Vetra and got her! Don't think I've actually said that yet (still stuck on the damn squid lol)

Oh riiight! Finally a tank I might actually enjoy playing!! Oh man, this day is looking up! Tacos and Overwatch! R.I.P D.VA She's not de- actually she is because since her nerf I can't stay in the damn mech for more than a minute or two. RIP D.Va indeed. I wish I was a good D.Va though because she is fun to play but I just... die instantly. IIIII SUCKKKK! Oh riiight! Finally a tank I might actually enjoy playing!! Oh man, this day is looking up! Tacos and Overwatch! Also I love that she no sells Mei. Fuck you Mei. Mei is one of those characters that are so fun to play as, but not play against. I feel kinda bad when I kill people with Mei cuz I know I don't deserve to feel proud of myself hahah.

ok, quick thoughts. to me, the most egregious part of this is of course the dicking around of GBT men; there's an open disregard there that really is apparent. But it rankles on a world-building level as well. it was one thing in the original trilogy. setting aside the cesspool of misogyny that is the asari lore (they're the culturally dominant species, but they all work in strip clubs and are ogled and objectified by other species, that's Totally How Cultural Dominance Works) one can handwave, even while not excusing, the fact that despite quirkinesses, most species are still fundamentally pretty similar. the line is, right, that the reapers' technology that every society is based off of causes all organic milky way life to develop along similar lines? it's lazy, and not nearly developed enough to even begin to call it adequate, but you know. it's an in-text reason. it's there. but here, we're going to an entirely different galaxy. one thing i did enjoy about the original trilogy was that there had to be constant explanations for how travel was at all possible-- just our own galaxy is so. fucking. enormous. going to an entirely different galaxy is incomprehensibly far to travel. it's a scope that's hard to get your mind around. sadly, it doesn't seem the devs even tried. it makes ABSOLUTELY. NO. SENSE. for an entirely different species to a) even have a binary gender system in the first place, What Are the Odds, but have remotely-- REMOTELY similar ideas about gender roles, attraction, whatever. it makes absolutely no sense for Jaal to be Somehow only attracted to human women, because that's just how the angara Are. that is bad fucking writing. i haven't sought out too many videos on the angara in-game, but what that tells me is that there was no imagination put into their differences at all. 'they're emotionally expressive! they have unique family structures!' you're just describing factions of modern human society, and not that creatively either. it's crap, and it's crap that is apparent to me as a random straight woman with no background in gender studies. that is bad lore that '''''coincidentally''''' dicks around GBT men. it's unacceptable, or should be, if you're a Mass Effect fan or just a human being.

I'm actually not as angry as I thought I'd be, or angry at all.
I'm pretty used to being sidelined or just completely ignored as a gay male gamer.
It's actually expected at this point. I'm not a straight male or lesbian so of course, I'll be left with scraps.
sigh

I'm excited for the people who wanted bi Vetra and got her! Don't think I've actually said that yet (still stuck on the damn squid lol) Honestly this is the second time ever in a bioware game that my first choice for romance was actually available to the female protag. Besides that and the fact that I already pre-loaded the game, I'd be really fucking tempted to not buy it after this shitshow.

So this is how you guys handle it? twitter.com/ladyinsanity/with_repliesDisgusting. I am really done with this thread now and I am off to enjoy the game, like a gamer should. Enjoy your salt. Maybe you could limit your own salt to the specific people actually doing shit you don't like? It's getting old with you flying off the handle at everyone over a few people. Calm down. Hey Nocte Its getting rather salty in this thread huh?

We can't summon demons, think of the straight people! *whisper* Okay, you know that's actually the first part of the gay agenda. Just stop mentioning it in public, people will start to catch on.

Mei is one of those characters that are so fun to play as, but not play against. I feel kinda bad when I kill people with Mei cuz I know I don't deserve to feel proud of myself hahah. The only characters more annoying than Mei is Torb with his auto aim instant turning turret with no fucking delay because fuck you and fucking Symmetra hold LMB to win. Fucking cancer the lot of them (and yes I main Symmetra. She's still cancer). Oh yeah and Roadhog with his fucking grabble that's can grab you for almost 30m away and has a hitbox the size of a fucking barn. I can deal with everyone else but fuck them. Also DVA needed to be nerfed. Not as hard as she was but yeah definitely needed a nerf. Sombra buff should be fun. Good Sombras are a nightmare to deal with.

I know the feeling, Hanzo main here with 72 hours on him, I always feel bad when I'm shooting at an enemy and a tracer blinks in front of me, killing her instantly, I swear tracers are the easiest squishy to headshot and I always feel bad when I do it on accident.

I've had a theory that the code for ScottXJaal exists because Jaal might be patched for bisexuality later.
But even if that's the case, they're not getting my money on this game or anything related to it. Ever.
Things could not have been more mishandled.
I'm just gonna spoil everything I can for myself and see if it's all really as terrible as they've been saying.
Bad show, Team ME. Very, very bad show.

I'm excited for the people who wanted bi Vetra and got her! Don't think I've actually said that yet (still stuck on the damn squid lol) Aw shucks! I'm excited and I can't wait to play just to romance her but I'm still quite sad because I wanted all guy Jaalmancers to be happy too... I can't help it, I'm just naturally a person who wants the best for everyone.

Let's be honest here. Besides Bioware what other AAA company spends even this much time creating LGBT content? Seriously curious. Hmm...can't think of ANY and that's just being honest. And I'm not talking about the usual F/F route most gaming companies take, still two females and guys don't mind that much. M/M romance stories in big games? lol...you will never find it. And Mislav from TW3 doesn't fucking count, that's a tragedy, not a love story. It's the same tragedy that most gay male characters face in fiction books, films, etc. The death of one lover due to the worlds 'hatred' of them while the bi/gay females are very present and alive.That's actually untrue, at least when it comes to American TV shows. Currently, both bi/gay men and bi/gay women make about 2% of all characters on television, but men make 3% of all TV deaths. Women - whole 10% of all deaths.
Source: www.vox.com/a/tv-deaths-lgbt-diversityWhat's interesting is that among that 10% of bi/gay dead female characters the majority were specifically lesbians since the story usually looks like that -- the lesbian is a minor recurring character while bisexual woman is a regular who was initially de facto straight but at one point showrunners decide to give her some female fling - aforementioned lesbian guest character. Then the fling dies, bisexual woman comes back to male lead and showrunners are congratulating themselves how progressive they are. One example is on my avatar.

I would fucking love to see a bi Jaal patch, but not because I'm interested in playing this shit, only because the ensuing shitstorm and controversy would just be delicious to watch.
