Gay Gamers Want Dragon Age 2 Writer Fired

A podcast I listen to put it this way: Fuck it, we cant make anyone fucking happy, so everyone's bi. Fuck your mom, fuck your sister, I don't give a fuck, just shut the fuck up.

I don't really think the writer(s) meant to portay a stereotypical image of homosexuals. Rather I belive the fault lies in a rushed game and poorly written character-convorsations (and characters) compared to the bar of quality characters usually have in bioware-games.
Well, I flirted with her twice, I think, then she showed up at my house to be all rawr with me. I said I thought of her as a sister, she mumbled something and fled. It was really rather sweet.hazabaza1 said:
Uhh... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't every romantic interest a bisexual in this game? I havn't played played the game myself yet.
OT: Well he did state in his defense against the straight gamer that he can't make everyone happy, this just proves him right. BTW 208 votes vs. how many copies of the game sold? This seems a bit one sided to me...
I always noticed that most people rarely mention something they like, but constantly mention the things they don't like.
Personally I always think that if you dislike (object name) so much to complain publicly that you should avoid it, not keep using (object name) while bitching about it. If he doesn't like the damn thing why doesn't he make a better game then?

What an idiot, he's the one to stereotype, no one is saying that you receive rivalry points because they're gay, it is him that is making that distinction, why can't they just be bad at taking rejection? Is that supposed to correlate with what sexuality you have?
I hate to break this to you, "homosexual playing Dragon Age 2", but this is how Bioware romances work; Love interests basically throw themselves at your feet and al you need to do is answer, "yes, please".
Just because a Bioware character happens to be a gay man, doesn't mean he'll automatically start behaving anymore realistic than the straight or lesbian characters.

It's odd. I played through Dragon Age 2, got full friendship with Anders and he didn't make a pass at me once. Same goes for Fenris. I had the option to initiate things, but at no point did either of the guys do anything untoward. All it took to avoid going down that path was for me to pay attention to the things I was making Hawke say.
I get the feeling that a lot of folks are playing this game and desperately trying to find ways to make themselves angry.

Yeah, sure! Fire a guy at the behest of a bunch of whiny and entitled fuck-sticks. Great idea, lads! ...Eugh. "Retarded" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Even when a game has 20 hours of gameplay, you can't fit every single nuance of human behavior into it so all video game characters are a parody on some level. Its really the only way to really hammer home what their personality is supposed to be. I never had Anders hit on me once. Now, Isabela on the other hand...Yeah she was chomping at the bit the entire time to get in my pants. The lack of female gamers complaining about that just shows how baseless this all is. As Mystery Science Theater would say, its all just a game, you really should just relax.
I'd bet money the guy is just a troll. It just seems too convenient that the only man at Bioware on record as actively defending homosexual romances in their games is suddenly being accused of being insensitive towards homosexuals.
