Maybe they're homosexual themselves? ;)

Ever occur to you that this kind of thing might be a safe way to explore one's own sexuality when they may not be sure?

yeah, let's criticize OP for the exact thing they explicitly felt bad about :V

[personal profile] sugar_spun 2013-02-19 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't exactly approve of the whole 'loud-mouthed aggressive masculine woman must be the gay or bi one'. Since there really weren't any gay options in ME2, I can't say that BioWare purposefully avoided that trope, but yeah, making the presumption that a woman like Jack was supposed to be bi or gay because she just fit your stereotype of bi or gay women is pretty shitty, especially when she did rather indicate that she was straight.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong since I found it really unpleasant to talk with her most of the time, but didn't she mention she was bi-sexual? Or at least at one point in time had slept with a woman? Doesn't mean she wants to continue down that route (obviously, since you could only romance her as a male Shep), but it's at least a decent point to make to maybe ease the guilt of the OP.

Know what's more annoying? Loud-mouthed, aggressive masculine woman reveals herself to be a weepy, whiny girly girl on the inside after being sufficiently pounded by healing penis.

Since Bioware in the same game brought us Morinth the evil sexual predator, and Kelly the empty-headed horny puppydog, both of whom are bisexual, I sincerely doubt they were deliberately avoiding unpleasant stereotypes. The way the romance with Jack played out, it seems more likely they were just indulging dudeShep players' healing cock fantasies.

It's a freaking game character. It has no feelings.

I think you're in the wrong part of the internet if you think most people don't identify with a fictional character's feelings and prioritize them in a similar way to a real person's.

Why... would you feel guilty? You wanted to romance that character but you didn't want to be a dude. I don't see a problem. Am I missing something? I mean, shit, the series didn't even allow male homosexual relationships until the third game and the only lesbian relationships you could enter were either with Liara, who you didn't really get with in 2 unless you had the Shadow Broker DLC, or Kelly/Samara, who weren't considered "real" romances.

I really liked her friendship with my femShep, and I could see the appeal of this. And if I did it, I'd probably feel exactly the same as you. I don't think you should feel guilty, but I totally understand why you do. Most of the romances in ME made me kind of uncomfortable to begin with.

kinda ot but i think the romance options in 3 are really lame. i went with thane in 2 so with my current shep i can't romance garrus, since he's one of those carry-overs from 2. i picked ashley for the suicide mission over kaidan so he's still alive and... an option, i guess, but what if i'd picked him for the suicide mission instead? i'd be sol for a male romance with a femshep. i don't mind going for a female romance, i'm just bummed out with the lack of choices. plus there's only one male romance option for a male shep, which is even worse. better than 2 i guess on that front and definitely better than nothing but those sure are slim pickings.

i like the games well enough without romance though, i didn't romance anybody in 1.

uhhh more on the subject though i don't think there's anything inherently wrong with console command...ing a relationship?? like i've thought about doing it in skyrim since all the men are ugly and boring.

Do what you want with your game.
That's why it's your game.
My FemShep has blue hair and illusive man eyes in 2, and Chobot's hair and walks around in her underwear on the Citadel in 3.

I know the issue you're having is characterization and not modding in itself.
But seriously, it's your game. Do what makes you happy.

(Anonymous) 2013-02-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Unrelated but I reeeaaally hate Jack.

I quickly got tired of her "rawr I'm such a badass you guys! Miranda is a cheerleader and EDI is a sextoy! Put away your purses it's time for action!" schtick. Meh.

I also couldn't get over some fans (especially the self proclaimed feminist gamers) slut shaming Miranda for her catsuit when Jack was walking around half naked most of the fucking time. Old wank I know but ugh.

Probably remembering wrong but wasn't Jack, Miranda, Tali and Thane supposed to be available for both genders? I'm definitely sure on Miranda, I even remember managing to dig up some voiced fem!Shep lines regarding the romance. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, that makes them fair game.

If it helps, my opinion is that anyone on the crew could fall in love with paragon Shepard of either gender.

*Rolls eyes*

I used the hack to romance Alistair in DA:O.

AND I REGRET NOTHING.

honestly, OP, who the fuck cares? it's on your computer, it's your game. play it like you want. the ME police aren't going to come and slap you.

IMO, they should have done it like Dragon Age 2. Anyone who could be romanced in that game could be romanced by either male Hawke or female Hawke. I hate when my options get limited based on what gender I decide to play as in a game.

Seriously, it is a video game. Unless they are exploring themes related to being homosexual then I want everyone to be bi, regardless of how 'unrealistic' it is.

Don't beat yourself up, Anon. It's a game you are playing for entertainment purposes and you should use whatever mods you want in order to enjoy it to its fullest.

Nah, don't feel bad. Bioware themselves basically said that lesbians are hottt and a-okay but m/m is perverting dudeShep's pristine sexuality, so you're in the clear.
