Because an entire race of Blue Polysexual Mono-Gender females only able to birth other females didn’t seem to click very well with the Saudis.

Why would inclusivity cause offense to any rational person?
They are religious people. Why do you call them rational?
See, the problem is that none of these people are rational.
What I can’t get over is the idea of “You can do homosexuality in Mass Effect!?” when to have any romantic affair in the game you need to try and do it. If you’re against Homosexuality and you are a male Shepard and you have sex with a male NPC, you had to fucking try to have sex with a male NPC. You spent hours seducing him.
Edit: I totally forgot Garrus is the only NPC who doesn’t have a homosexual romance option.
The amount of people that got up in arms about KCD2 having a totally optional gay romance options, that gives you multiple, explicit options to abort (which doesn’t happen with some of the hetero flings…) but it was too much for them.
Worse there are ghouls arguing that Boltgun 2 is ‘woke’ since it has an optional female protagonist.
I certainly hope the pendulum starts swinging back soon, this is all getting out of hand.
Holy shit, there’s a boltgun 2? And you can play as a sororitas?? Sign me the fuck up, thank you for mentioning it.
Your daily reminder that Grindr servers break when the Republican National Convention is in town.
They literally don’t. You need to reevaluate your media bubble.
Then its halal.
“I tripped and fell on my keyboard and mouse and while they were in there they accidentally progressed the dialogue trees that make you have gay sex.”
Minus the gay part, I would believe that if I heard it in the context of the first ME, it all takes three polite conversations
(or was it four? idr, does Liara’s mission count?)
To be honest, something like this can actually happen!
In Baldur’s Gate 3, I accidentally had very gay sex with an incubus by selecting a wrong option by mistake…
To be fair, that particular demon could change their sex at will, so maybe it’s not a great comparison.
I mean, as long as you didn’t fuck Mizora.
Heh, reminds me of some reactions when Cyberpunk 2077 players don’t realise that Ángel is a male Spanish name and accidentally hire a male doll at Clouds (or a female one if they pick Skye by elimination thinking that Ángel must be female; in any case, the opposite of what they were looking for).
Of course there’s no sex in that scene because V is working and has too many things in their head (both literally and metaphorically), only intimacy, but still, it can be a bit of a shock, apparently.
That means that you are now gay for life. You will surely go to hell. Oh, actually I think you have already been ;)
Party members are always throwing themselves at you in Baldur’s Gate 3.
In Lae’zel’s case, literally.
Romancing Shadowheart was really difficult. But very rewarding. Out of all the romance options, though, I had the most fun with Karlach’s romance plot. It was emotionally healing, especially if you’re playing as Wyll.
Unless you played during launch… Month? Basically any friendship threshold above “hates your guts” (which is easy to achieve because she “Approves” of a lot of no-brainer “good default” options) had Shart wanting to bone you at the earliest possible romance opportunity. I think Gale similarly got patched to be less eager.
Yes, I too ship Wyllach!
Wyllach is OTP
Yeah, Gale went from homie to horny real fuckin quick.
I was playing as a halfling when I first came to the scene where Gale shoots his shot with the magic show, and as someone who’s normally the largest person in the room, it made me viscerally feel UNSAFE in ways I can’t experience in real life.
I guess you suffer from it still and are now gay.
/s
I’m pretty sure the only same sex romance options are Femshep and Liara, your admin assistant in ME2 (kinda), and then your admin assistant and shuttle driver in ME3. You can’t even romance Jack as Femshep.
The Femshep gay options SUCK. Far as I know they planned for more, but had to tone it down for the very first Mass Effect game already. Puritan ass fucking Americans are not better than the Saudis!
And Liara barely counts because her species doesn’t even have a biological sex. They all just appear female compared to humans and so that’s how they tend to identify when working with sexually dimorphic races.
I was always a bit disappointed that there was no option to romance Garrus as Male Shep. One would think that gender comes secondary to species in terms of sexual preferences, but apparently not.
I think Kaidan is also an option for MShep in ME3? Maybe I’m wrong, I just pick Tali every time.
Because we live in the era of hate politics, where societies are being divided and conquered by populism’s of bigotry. Inclusivity counters that.
It’s Saudi Arabia. They’re basically in the dark ages with the oil money to buy modern infrastructure. It’s an absolute monarchy, You get the death penalty for being any flavor of queer, It’s a surveillance state. They literally sent a kill squad into a foreign nation to (successfully) brutally murder a journalist. We don’t hear it much because of all the other constant noise in the digital world but they’re not good people. Everyone turns a blind eye because they have that sweet sweet oil and since like the 70s the US has been on it’s knees for them.
Don’t get me wrong here. It’s a very nice looking place but it’s built on some of the most terrible human rights abuses you can name.
They have almost open slavery. It’s not a good place. The fact that they were allowed to buy EA at all is a problem.
So kinda like what a lot of Republicans want for the US?
That’s were our presidents advisor lives so yes.
