da2 is the only bad game they made lately also what were the shoehorned gay characters in me2 people always accuse bioware of doing that but never explain is this the "there must be a deep narrative reason or else its pandering" meme

Endorph posted:my issue with bioware gay stuff is that it's all pretty much written like an afterschool special about how gay people are cool and normal, and not actually written with gay people in mind well you can't deny that that's a good fit for the maturity level of the target audience also for what it's worth i am gay and i often read discussions in glbt online communities that are related to videogames and bioware characters are usually well recieved meanwhile the people who complain that those characters are poorly written pandering have a ~40-50% chance to then try to tell me about ethics in bideogam jurnalisms

Endorph posted:i mean, define 'literal fanfiction writers' because if you wrote fanfiction when you were a teenager i dont think that really reflects on you as an adult anymore than my decade old myspace page about how good yellowcard is reflects on me oh yeah that's very true i like Dorian from Inquisition, for example, but i still groaned when he was revealed, though i'm sure that bioware meant well

Phi230 posted:bioware minority characters are mainly insulting because they're clearly tokens. And tokenism is bad because it basically feeds into "oh x character is a gay but he's one of the good ones" kind of poo poo how are they tokens

Endorph posted:The thing about tokenism is that the solution isn't really 'don't put these characters into your games,' it's 'put in more.' You have a space opera with like, 150 characters with at least a few dialogue trees, you can have more than 3 gay dudes and a lesbian. Even if a character's not that well written they don't really feel like a token attempt to appear progressive if there's seven other gay dudes in the same game. actually if you make a game with 150 characters and make 8 of them glbt idiots will cry at you about cultural marxism and give your game bad reviews on steam and metacritic

Phi230 posted:sex scenes and hetero sexualization are also bad don't be immature i know that but people who are mad about minority representation tend to have no problems with this they don't care about pandering they're just mad that people who are different from them are getting pandered to too
