I like how "pandering" has morphed to mean "having stuff in the first place" in nerd lingo.

Well yeah who would put gay stuff in their games on their own ? I mean there has to be a reason for it !

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

I'm not gay, but if I was, I think I'd be offended by the gay pilot dude in Mass Effect 3. I'm pretty offended by it as a fan of not stupid writing as is.

I dunno I guess in the scope these games covered, the loving is the only thing really setting lgbt apart from non lgbt. I mean it's not like they would fight differently or sth. For the non fuckable characters sexual preference etc. does not have to be defined since in the scope of those games it's not relevant.

I guess.

(E: not saying the bioware dudes are shining examples of lgbt characters in gaming or sth)

Let's just say that non lgbt characters are also written badly and for them too the FUCKABLE Y/N question is asked.

That's just the fallout of the bioware romance system that now is in every game they make.

Possibly if you just use some standalone Twitter client and never use the web client, maybe? But the insinuation that she faked the tweets or something is totally retarded because you don't need to fake anything, gamers just are that awful.

No, this is just something she and her stupid friends are trying to take credit for. Every other story posted about it is that literally every single person there realized it was some huge catastrophe and they all walked.

Instead of leaving it at that though Zoe and her little retard clique tried to spin it in a way that she single handedly brought it crashing to its knees with and I quote "an amazing speech that brings tears to people's eyes", and the very heads of Pepsi themselves were preparing to destroy all of them under the heels of their aluminum boots.

Seriously read the thing I posted a few pages back, it's less believable than a super hero's origin story. I'll try to find it to link again

So let me get it straight:

They were going to pull it through and sell themselves to Mtn. Dew of all the things like good little bitches no matter how hard it would wreck their "indie credibility" until Big Bad Corporation Dude said something vaguely sexist and they went all postal?

Which'd be fine (I mean, not fine, but, not worth getting into a tizzy over) if Bioware and EA didn't constantly act like they deserved a loving medal for said bad LGBT characters.

Or if EA didn't straight-up lie and say "Oh yeah people voted us the Worst Company in America because they're homophobes, not because we loving suck!"

EDIT: Then again, Bioware and EA act like they deserve a medal for all of their crappy writing, so, nevermind, I guess.

So, like, is the reality that who you know affects how far you get in life some sort of horrible trauma for nerds to realize? I don't know why everyone is so shocked that namedropping and nepotism exist and occur all the time. Maybe it's just because I work in entertainment and this is how this poo poo works, but nothing that has happened here is all that shocking to me. People seem outraged and disgusted that the world isn't fair and that people like to hire their friends or namedrop their friends to help them out - yeah, no poo poo Sherlock. Like 95% of entertainment staffing is people saying 'Oh, I like Bill, he bought me a beer last week and he has that cool dog, let's get him on this" or "I have this room-mate who is free that day and can hold a boom if you need it…"

It just seems like a bunch of people are upset to learn that success isn't necessarily rooted in fairness. OMG someone used their personal relationships to get a leg up, like every goddamned person in television and advertising!

Are the other characters referred to with male pronouns in the game? Those 8x8 pixel shapes could be any gender, basically.
