>He was a great man
>She was a great woman
>He was my husband
>She was my wife
>She/He would've been proud of you
Why do they try to make gay characters in games ALWAYS mention that they are gay? In almost every conversation with a gay character they have to bring up the fact that he/she was a great person.
I just don't understand... I have gay friends and they refer to them as a partner, not a wife/husband. I'm not against homosexuality, it's just video game writers must have no fucking idea.
>I know some gay people so I'm an expert in how gay people should talk
>>332281031

But then you wouldn't know he's gay. Otherwise he'd be a boring character like Arcade Gannon.
>>332280982
Because they look at games like movies.
They don't assume the story will have enough subtlety in dialogue to slide that shit in gently.
Rather than having casual conversation while out on a mission being like
>got a boyfriend back home
>actually I have a girlfriend, I met her back on planet clambump during the 60th bicentennial triathlon
They go full obnoxious
>Hi Kayla, how are you?
>DID YOU KNOW I'M GAY, MY WIFE WOULD LOVE YOU, WE HAVE LESBIAN SEX, AND SHE'S THE MAN IN THE RELATIONSHIP, HER PUSSY STINKS LIKE ROTTEN FISH
Do you feel as triggered when a straight character mentions their husband/wife? It only sounds forced to you because you don't see it as normal. Think about it for a moment and you'll realise you're making a big deal over nothing.
You know you've got problems when even hentai is more subtle than your writing.
>>332280982
I never played this game, so i assume they never shut up their relationship
Because most people use he/she all the time, its the default, no one gets called an it unless their a special snowflake who asked to be referred to as such.
>game that doesn't have any kind of romance quests or anything relationship related stuff
>you're just a bunch of space marines killing evil aliens, that's it
>character just mentions how he's gay, for no reason
>mfw
>>332285552
I have no idea how to edit but i just had another thought, most gay people use "partner" instead of husband/wife so /pol/tards don`t get triggered, its not just sjws getting butt blasted over everything its conservatives too.
Because EA wanted LBGT support for when they fuck up
I just finished ME1 and moved on to ME2
I hate how stupid the dialogue options are in both because the choices are not the exact words the MC says. Like "very funny=fuck you" or "glass him" or "you're a whore".
it's even weirder in ME2 because of Cerberus fuckery.
So when the dialogue is related to Cerberus, the choices are so vague like you don't understand if the Renegade choice could mean "fuck you cerberus" or "cerberus is for Humanity and i'm racist so i'll join in"
or the Paragon could mean "cerberus is bad" or "cerberus needs a second chance. they only want to help"
Because if a character just flippantly mentions his/her same sex partner in a off the cuff manner it implies that the writers also treat such relationships in a casual way.
It's just a way to show how progressive and tolerant they are all the while daring someone to say something critical, in which case they can call them homophobic and score even more prog points.
Because saying 'partner' sounds like you're trying to be too subtle. Unless there's some reason WHY you should say 'husband/wife' (Protip: There isn't one) there's no reason to be non-specific.
Nice bait though anyway.
>>332280982
It's also why they can't write good female characters, because they're not chicks. You write what you know, and you and I know being straight white guys who happen to need dicks in our porn
>>332280982
ME3 wasn't THAT bad compared to Burcherlands the pre-sequel, 100% of the characters are gay and have to tell you while you do missions for them or they are cucks.
Literally the first 2 npcs that give you missions (the blonde and the little girl) have to spout how they are lesbians.
>>332280982
>try to be a bro to Kaiden in helping him out with his personal problems
>"Hey Commander can I talk to you for a bit?"
>"Of course anything for a friend and brother in arms"
>"I love you Shepard"
>mffw
It was at that point when I realized that going full Renegade is the only one to deal with these fucking people. Deal with your own problems like a fucking man and don't tell me about it, because I really don't want to hear it. Seriously how does one go from being an understanding superior to "FILL MY ASS WITH YOUR SEED SHEPARD!" in the space of a few conversations?
>>332285804
>I have no idea how to edit
So it's come to this
>>332285943
That's Bioware for you.
>Hey Shepard, what do you think about this?
>a) I agree
>b) I disagree
>c) I don't know
>d) Is there any other options?
>pick a)
>"I agree 100% even though it doesn't make sense. Anybody who disagrees with me on this is bound to be a traitor, and wrong."
>pick b)
>"YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH, NOT IN A MILLION YEARS YOU COCKSUCKER. I WILL FUCKING RIP OFF YOUR HEAD!!"
>pick c)
>C'mon Shepard just say yes or no
>d)
>C'mon Shepard just say yes or no
You're either Jesus or Hitler, nothing in between.
>>332286336
It doesn't help when the majority of your gameplay revolves around being either good or bad and not being able to run the fine line between the two.
>try to be nice towards a fellow crew mate
>Shepard goes into full seductive gay boy mode
>>332284656
Actually I do hate it when a character's sole defining trait is in a relationship with X, I also hate stories side tracked by it when other shit was going on
>>332286336
I really hate how they got worse and worse at renegade choices as time goes on
It went from hard ass who gets the job done and won;t take shit to monster who shoots himself in the foot just to be bad
>>332286171
>Seriously how does one go from being an understanding superior to "FILL MY ASS WITH YOUR SEED SHEPARD!" in the space of a few conversations
Because they've known each other for years
>that message reading secretary woman who wants to fuck all new party members
Normal people don't look at other beings and undress them with their words. What the fuck. Imagine going to your new workplace and then some secretary tells how you're deep soul who needs nurturing or something.
>>332286759
Well she's supposed to be like a psychologist/psychoanalyst or something. She was hired to evaluate the recruits mental states as well as be your secretary. Presumably so Shepard doesn't bumble around bringing up fragile parts of their pasts
>be nice to guy
>suddenly you're fucking
jesus christ what the fuck
>>332287161
It's always really confusing when this happens at work
>>332287161
That's bioware romances. In dragon age you can literally give a girl some jewels and then fuck. You don't even have to be nice
>>332280982
Because you can't be a bro and not suck his dick on the 2000+16 year.
And it fucking sucks
>>332287262
That one is realistic though
>>332280982
I think it was pretty well done in this game. He didn't shoved it into your face, you never had to do it, it was just a side personality. I don't know why people lose their shit over this.
>>332287161
This happened to me with the information manager girl next to the star map. She wanted to play chess with me and next we're fucking in the shower. I don't even.
>>332285943
What the fuck else would [glass him] even mean?
>try to fuck a character
>they refuse
>>332280982
wew
>>332286171
>Kaidan, my bro for several years, gets wounded and hospitalized
>ask him how he's feeling and if I can do anything
>"Sh-shepard, are you h-hitting on me?"
I just knew that the game would suck from that point. At least Garrus didn't suddenly turn into a fucking faggot.
Homosexuals are disgusting degenerates, but a character with that flaw can still be an interesting and good character, if done right. Arcade Gannon was my favorite companion in NV, even after finding out about it, while I though Veronica fucking sucked.
>playing gaymes in the first place
are you one of these """""straight""""" people who go to gay bars too?
>>332287490
let's not do this again
>>332287559
Bioware was decent before they got bought by EA and all the good staff left
Played the first Mass effect and thought it was decent but needed a good sequel to make it great.
Then EA happened and ME 2 was worse than the first. Didn't play anything by Bioware since then
>>332280982
>implying straight people don't always go "LOL MY WIFE DID THIS FOR ME WHAT A NICE WIFE SHE IS"
>>332287859
*My wife's son
ftfy
>>332280982
The worst thing about Gay Nigger Man is that we got him as an option instead of Garrus
>>332287749
I never understood how people got confused by that. I'm Dutch and even I knew that "glassing someone" means "smash a glass object on their head"
>>332288318
I have never heard a term for smashing a glass object to someone's head
>>332288318
People are just trolling.
>>332288318
>Dutch ESLs
>thinking they know English
Every fucking time
I hate your people
>>332288318
I've never seen the phrase or never heard it mentioned before that scene. I thought it was some weird term for a toast.
>>332288527
I sometimes hate my people too, especially when they go NL? NL? KANKERKANKERKANKER HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
>>332288318
Maybe it's because I'm canadian but I never heard of that, thought it was just giving him a glass of beer
Why do straight people always do the same? Why doesn't that trigger you?
YOU were the faggot all along, OP
Also
>playing mass effect after 1
fuck off
>>332288607
Playing 2 is acceptable. Stop showing your inner homosexual and admit it's okay for people to like things you don't.
Because they don't shutup about it in real life too
>>332288607
>Why do straight people always do the same?
Please stop.
People that write for video games are generally speaking bad writers.
Good writers go elsewhere.
>>332288607
>Why do straight people always do the same? Why doesn't that trigger you?
Because the vast majority of straight characters don't offer a simple greeting and then immediately jump to sex in the next sentence. Because most straight characters are not defined by their heterosexuality. Because most straight characters don't remind you every conversation of their sexual preference.
>>332287490
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rNV61Rpo-0
>>332288548
Exactly. I immediately reloaded after that.
>>332288707
Actually you're right, 2 was okay.
>>332288884
But most well written faggot characters are the same. There are some that are over the top but they just come off the same as the straight ones who are all about sex and hooking up.
People just get mad because as soon as someone says "My wife" and they're a woman its the sjw agenda instead of just some dyke talking about her fucking faggot ass wife.
>>332288889
looking back this game doesn't look very good at all oh boy
>>332289000
>as the straight ones who are all about sex and hooking up.
This isn't a majority of straight characters, it isn't even a noteworthy amount. This is what someone who's only ever played bioware RPGs would say, and even then more gay characters are more blatant about their sexuality than their are straight characteres
>>332288607
>Why do straight people always do the same?
You are deflecting.
Are you trying to say that it's ok when either do it?
Or are you trying to say that since straight characters do it, that makes it ok and not annoying when gay ones do?
Et tu croque is not a good way to argue.
>>332289116
Well because the fact is that it's popular to be or at least know someone who isn't straight, and the companies realise that the key to getting the kids to like their shit is to have progressive shit in it.
The smart ones will take a well written character and swap "him" with "her" until they're gay or bisexual or whatever the fuck, and therefore you have a good character who happens to be gay.
The average ones will have a good character, make them gay, and then make their sexuality a talking point through either making them fuckable, or having some sort of super sad tragic event happen/have happened to them because of it.
The shit tier ones will put a sjw in their game.
I don't care in the fucking slightest if a character in vidya mentions in passing something that hints or shows that they aren't straight, unless the game is based around story and characters and they are a shit example of either.
>>332280982
I'd think different gay people refer to their gay partners differently
>>332280982
you.
you are the reason we have SJWs.
thanks a lot you conservative, overreacting asshole
>>332285215
Lieri is gay?
>>332289556
Yes, how dare he give a dissenting opinion.
>>332286336
>You're either Jesus or Hitler
That's patently false, the option to be a bad guy is here too.
>>332287161
I've literally never had this happen.
>Why do they try to make gay characters in games ALWAYS mention that they are gay?
SJW are dense rocks you need to make it clear to them that you have gay characters otherwise they mite bash the game on social media.
>>332290090
>not enough LBGQTOWZ
Legitimate reason to dock a few points in the review these days. Not that anyone reads that garbage anymore.
>>332289736
>my opinion is that HITLER WAS RIGHT GAS THE JEWS SLAY THE GAYS
you just can't HANDLE dissenting OPINIONS you close minded KEK
>>332280982
>they refer to them as a partner
Probably because they're trying not to trigger you
>UGH look I KNOW you're gay you can stop saying husband okay?!
>>332291445
And such an opinion is permissible and protected speech, get fucked.
So yes.
That is just a dissenting opinion.
>>332291575
it really shouldn't be permissible or protected
