Make Suvi Bi

I know how you feel. I wanted to bang Sera in DA:I too, but in the end she's Bi and I respect herrr-- BioWare for it... maybe.

I think that with one of this troll thread is enough.

Thanks for that insight. I'm not surprised Suvi's writer would lie to cover her tracks, but it is a little disappointing. Again, I'd just prefer if everybody had as many options as possible. The fact that Suvi's romance was such an afterthought, and then made a lesbian option just because BioWare likely forgot to provide one shows how utterly lazy it was in designing these characters.

I'd still say BioWare should just open up all these characters to any gender. Especially with how limited the content is for some (lesbian-only and gay-only romances), it would actually be a benefit to provide these demographics with more options because BioWare did them such a disservice with the base game content.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say here but I can assure you I was neither triggered or offended by your OP. I just completely disagree with everything you said in it!

Just wanted to point out: I don't blame Suvi's writer if she didn't say the truth since she didn't make the decision what characters should be gay or straight. But there are rumors she fought to make Vetra (she's her writer as well) who was intended to be M/F only be available for F/F too, so it's reasonable to suspect she also had something to do with Suvi eventually ending up as F/F exclusive, since otherwise lesbians would have absolutely no representation in this game, and therefore this substitute is better than nothing. Besides, it was probably her bosses who told her to deny that Suvi was ever straight romance option so she couldn't do much about it. Many sources like the review from 2016 that recirculated on discussion boards after the release of MEA say that Bioware Montreal management is really problematic when it comes to the treatment of their employees.

And as for making all romanceable character bi, DA2 had it (although one DLC character was straight-only), people complained it's unrealistic, that they're "player-sexual" (indeed besides Isabela who was already in DAO and already established as bisexual all the other characters seemed to be straight-by-default), and so the argument behind having in following ME3 (and later DAI) characters of defined orientation was to provide representation to minority groups. But from the start the focus was put on straight characters because everyone knows straight people really need representation, while gay men and lesbians were an afterthought. Traynor was basically designed as a little tease to straight men, there was more content in her interactions with male Shepard than female Shepard who romanced her. She also had the least content overall. Steve had the GAY(tm) cliche storyline and NO HOMO! romance scene. DAI was a bit better when it comes to this because the lead writer was a gay man. And now MEA, de facto regress compared even to ME3.

Yet I don't think a come back to DA2 approach would make it much better. Look at Peebee. She was obviously from the start intended to be bisexual since all Asari are, but what is her same-sex content? They didn't even bother to make her same-sex romance scene right, that scene (which is the only sex scene lesbians got in entire game) is just reused straight sex scene with switched character model, and it just looks broken and ridiculous. They didn't care. And of course first thing she does when unromanced is quickly starting to drool over a male character. But hey, there is a same-sex backstory, she has crazy ex girlfriend!

I'm no longer content with scraps. What Bioware is doing certainly doesn't look that impressive anymore when game from huge hit franchise like The Last of Us 2 is going to have fixed protagonist who's a lesbian.

Yay for representation but this is just stupid. From what I've seen of her romance and her ship/story involvement in my own pt it's not a great loss but after the 'has to make sense' argument I expected more than just flipping a coin 'writing'.

What's next? Dr. Lexi was initially a both option but ND won a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors so she didn't have to record the romance lines?

Has anyone substituted Suvi in for Cora during the explicit scene with Scott for the cause?

I think you are trying too hard to get bait, this need to be more subtle.

I highly doubt people would take the hashtag more seriously after that. it is actually a perfect set up for some high level discord.

Going on about how you want the one lesbian to be "turned" straight by your fictional self-insert in a way that is reminiscent of irl homophobia towards lesbians suddenly isn't homophobia because... how?
