Hrm. Mass Effect 3 also gives you Kaidan for a bisexual option. But man have I seen a lot of fetishizing homosexuals come from MShenko.

I wonder if I am the only person who is mildly pissed that Kaidan went from being a military veteran with a pessimistic understanding to how the world works into being a whiny overly emotional looser in the 3rd game.

I got the feeling that was for the new bi-sexual relationship options, but it was a serious turn off for me as a female player. It left me feeling like they were going for the effeminate gay stereotype and it bugged me.

Of course I could have misinterpreted it.

I wouldn't know. Commander Shane Shepard lost Kaidan Alenko on Virmire and has never been interested in him as a romance option anyways. I do know that Kaidan walks all over femshep and she just takes it from him! Whereas mshep can deny everything where femshep can't.

I will always hate Bioware for not letting me have this:

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Polyamory is available in Dragon Age depending on how you play it.

Skyrim has gay and lesbian options.

Playing back through the fable games(all of them because I have no attention span) and god damn does fable cover lots of shit. I had someone who was 'Transvestite appreciative' following around one of my female characters for a while. I've pretty much gotten to the point I check NPC details just to amuse myself in the stranger areas.

Ironically, I actually consider Skyrim's gay options to be the best in the gaming community so far simply because the game's like

"Are they marriable?  Okay, we're just going to completely ignore everyone's gender in this and play it as gender neutral as possible!"

Gotta say one thing about Nords, they may have a lot of racists, and they may be superstitious about magic (despite once being great with it) but they are pretty progressive about gender equality.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

As the game says, there's little time for sexism or homophobia in Skyrim. You're too busy not dying.

Okay, so perhaps this does say something about society's unfortunate views on body type, but comparing killing a Sim with wanting actual human beings dead is pretty ridiculous.

Said person probably plays violent RPGs and sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto while violently splattering the brains of anyone who gets in their way without a single pause.

CRY. CRY AND FUME.

I DRINK YOUR TEARS.

Seriously, though, its just a game. I like making my Sims suffer as much as humanly possible, but that's because I am a cruel bastard.

Still, I get the poster's point. If they had instead wanted to get rid of, say, a black Sim for being black, we'd find that friggin creepy.

Could've made the point without all the hyperbole, tho. Here's something rather mild in the topic of SJW:


"Blatant racism (apartheid) and misogyny"

All the ad is doing is comparing the 1950s to now when it comes to Denny's and how people dress between then and now. If anything, the ad is pretty progressive. It's meant to be an ad about a dad and his son. And there's no racism. The 1950s just happened to have ads like on the left. They were everywhere. It was the 50s for goddess's sake!
