I think it's really cute? From the scolding way Suvi reacts to Ryder's flirting, I think it's meant to be taken as cringey and awkward flirting, since Ryder is flustered here. It's not "wow the writers really think this is smooth flirting," so much as "some people are just really awkward when they're attracted to a girl." And yes, I've known people who act this way around crushes. Hell, I'm probably one of them, too. Those are probably not trained para military scouts in their mid 20ies, though... Being trained to kill people doesn't mean you cannot be awkward when flirting. |

Having a different opinion is fine. But constantly creating threads over and over again talking about the "awfulness" of the game is annoying and something I think the mods should look into. No it isn't. If someone is annoying you, ignore them. Or go into your profile block them. The mods do not need to babysit every single user, provided the user is not breaking any rules. I'm just saying this should be in the skepticism or animations thread it just wasteful creating threads that talk about the same thing |

So just let the mods decide and do their job instead of you telling them what to do, yeah?  I got a little overzealous I just feel this belongs somewhere else |

She is also not military She got military training... by the systems alliance and her father, who was N7 after all. But she quit military to join the AI. Even Cora say they are not military. Also I don't know if the military gives standard flirting courses. |

I concede that this did not deserve it's own thread. |

Good thing you don't need to romance Suvi.  Or even, y'know, use that flirt line. There's another perfectly good flirt line sitting next to it. How in the world is "thing that totally happens in real life" bad writing? You have the option to choose to flirt awkwardly with somebody, if you're playing a character that is doing that romance. What a horror show. Being trained to kill people doesn't mean you cannot be awkward when flirting. "Soldier gets awkward around romantic interest" is a hella old trope, from Xenophon Ephesios to Captain America. |

I swear the people saying how 'terrible' it is that this scene exists don't know what it's like to have a fairly good crush on someone.

I don't get how criticizing the game in of itself is a bad thing. I mean, I really disagree with the OP, but that's of a different line of thought, anyways. |

The fact its gays awkward dialogue? Seems to me it'll appeal much more to people who find that sort of exchange cute or humorous rather than any specific sexuality Because of the fact that many gay people live in areas where it's not easy to be out of the closet (or, even if it is, that doesn't guarantee a lot of single and out-of-the-closet gay people in your area), so dating has more challenges than it has for straight people on average. Take all the challenges of dating while straight and add homophobia, closeted people, identity politics, community discourse, etc as factors and dating is evidently more complicated to the point it makes a lot of gay/bi people very awkward when they start dating. Obviously, that's not all gay/bi people who start dating. There are definitely some suave LGBT people out there, but the factors I listed mean this is an experience that a straight person isn't going to 100% relate to in that very specific context. Of course, this is a different setting where those things aren't really issues, but, for the LGBT consumers, it still is so it's going to be more relatable. |
