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.

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.

They are religious people. Why do you call them rational?

Because we live in the era of hate politics, where societies are being divided and conquered by populism's of bigotry. Inclusivity counters that.

I want more optional homosexual romance in my games, not less!

If these people think Homosexuality is a choice, then let people choose to have a straight relationship or a gay relationship. If they're so hellbent on sexuality being a choice, they'll just intentionally avoid all the homosexual romance options throughout the game, right....?

Right...?

Do you have a shitload of money? Then they don't care.

Sure but they only care about not offending the right people.

But we're missing out on an alien race of traders that will only accept Mass Effect Funbucks, and sell you a range of cosmetic items that change weekly!

Is it ok to dismember journalists while they're still alive though?

No smoking, no swearing and no ALIEN SEX!

This really puts me off purchasing a game from people capable of that kind of censorship.

A reminder that if you buy any game developed or published by EA, you're funding this kind of hate.

Its insane. Billionaires are ruining absolutely everything and monopolizing everything and turning everything into a propaganda arm for fascism which obviously is exactly what they want (to increase the power and wealth gap between themselves and everyone else). This is why people should be aggressively against censorship because the only way to defeat them is by allowing as many outside voices in as many possible areas as possible without giving the billionaires abilities and tools to silence them.

It Takes Two was pretty amazing, and they published that (though Hazelight Studios developed it).
