I've raised an official complaint with ea that the achievement is unavailable for gay men, I suggest others do as well. This isn't acceptable. This. There's only TWO options. Straight and Lesbian Ryders don't have to stray off the path to earn the achievement but gay men do. What the fucking hell.

Here you go, he moved to tumblr: deaderpoolmc.tumblr.com/(the TS4 community responds fast! 4 responses in 4 minutes lol) Thanks! And yeah, they seem to be good people. I've never seen hateful slurs and such from that side of fandom. BioWare on the other hand... lol Oh they have their drama... do they ever. But it's entirely possible to avoid it altogether, which is what I have done. There are a lot of very good people who are always only too happy to help.

You know what I found most cringeworthy of this whole thing? The ME team has this ridiculous hard-on for asari. So much so that they chose to implement a second asari for straight guys (there isn't even a second human for straight guys) and lesbians. And you know how the unofficial board receives this? By not even creating a fan thread for her days after she was revealed as someone you could flirt with and it was hinted that she's a romance. That's how fucking TIRED we all are of asari. There's not even a fan thread for one of the official romances because she's ANOTHER damn asari and no one could give two fucks about her.

True. In the end, gay men get fukt in almost every category. 1) Least amount of options 2) Both options are NPC with CC face 3) Both options aren't that story relevant 4) Gay guy has a romance/story that again, highlights his gayness, just like with Steve and Dorian 5) No male m/m alien 6) Fade-to-black sex scenes 7) Most likely less story/romance content So yeah, it's pretty annoying, to say the least. Hold up. One of the options, again, revolves around DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPOILER TAG ON PHONE SO MILD SPOILER being gay?? Homophobia, as stated by the creators, is no longer even a thing in the ME universe. There should not be any gay existential issue plots. That, ahem, doesn't make sense. Nono, not homophobia. It's a totally different thing that kind of highlights that yes, Gil is indeed, a gay. His romance and his story with Scott seems totally out of place from the rest of the story and ME universe, and was made just to make a relateable, heartfelt, heart string tugging gay romance. It's not the worst, but yet again, he feels like a gay character, instead of a character who just happens to be gay. Of course I'm overreacting a bit, but I kinda wished Gil had something else in his romance/story than what we got. Of course, some Gil fans absolutely love it, I personally find it a little offputting.

My response to the complaint was 'Thank you for bringing this to our attention that is indeed something that our dev team for Mass effect need sto know and i will be filing a report here on our end so that it can be looked into'.
Make noise folks.
Shall I make a thread about this? As in mobilising people to register complaints and make their voices heard?

Lol, if that mod happens people should tweet some out-of-context, no comment added Scott/Jaal screenshots at them With captions like "You know what you did". It doesn't even have to be screenshots of a mod. We can just spam them with homoerotic fan art. A painting of Liam and Scott making out? Tweet it to them. A fan render of Kallo watching Dr Carlyle, Jaal, Scott and Drack have an orgy? Tweet it to them. A fan fic about Jaal discovering his secret feelings for Liam and the two getting together and living happily every after? Tweet it to them. Or hell, we could make Inquisition/Andromeda comparison pictures and caption them "Good BioWare" and "Bad BioWare"... so many possibilities . This series of photoshops is old, but I wonder if anyone's tried to get the devs to look at it lol

I wonder how many people will be predisposed to dislike Jaal because of this. Knowing that Jacob cheated on you before I played ME2 made me instantly dislike him as a character before I even played the game. I'm not saying I won't like Jaal, but this hole thing has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Seriously if the Asari as a race just up and died I'd be cool with that. They're awful. And Thessia only proved that.

I'm not saying I won't like Jaal, but this hole thing has left a sour taste in my mouth. Honestly? Jaal's character is really nice. Really, really nice, from everything I've seen so far. The fact he's Garrus 2.0 (Seriously Bioware? Fucking seriously?) just sours me to the company. And the fact I will once again have to play a girl to get the alien of my dreams. AGAIN.

I appreciate them "taking a look at it," but it should not have come down to this. It should not come down to the fans crying "What the fuck?" It should not come down to disabling the fucking code. I'll appreciate any changes they decide to make to this, but in the meantime, I'm actually hurt. Basically, any good will they saved up from me after DA:I (with Dorian and Bull being, you know, party members) is pretty much gone at this point. I'm a huge fan. I think this is why this hurts so much. If it was any other company, I'd mentally call them old-fashioned and go on with my day. Plus, the whole "it has to make sense thing" bothers me more and more all the time. So, it would "make sense" for a woman to be bisexual on the squad, but a bisexual man wouldn't. Damn it, bisexual men in particular are treated like utter shit by many in the gay community. Whether the ME:A team realizes or not, they've contributed to the idea that bi men should be hidden away. Yet us bi ladies are always down for the banging, right? Spoiler Alert: The answer is no. $10 says that the bi romance will talk about a long-lost lady love too. Because as we all know, bisexual men always prefer women and almost never have relationships with other men, right?

If anything it might get get a response and explanation at the very least from the team. Dont expect anything else though, but we really do deserve some sort of statement or acknowledgement.

Hmm. I just watched the Cora scene and I noticed that you have the option to NOT progress to sex. Do they gay romances get that option?
Also, I really wasn't bothered about the sex scenes but seeing how surprisingly well animated that was and how much care went into minute details like lip movements...yeah, a fade to black for m/m is starting to piss me off. It really is just scraps.

Well...I stand corrected then. Luckily for me i have always liked Dragon Age more anyway. Not too big a leap to extend that to the developer teams.
