Does Bioware think we're all gay?

The Quarians really do seem like Space Persians with their accents and the way they all wear Space Burqas.

So I was sitting around with nothing to do and I started thinking about recent RPGs and their attitude towards sexuality. Then it hit me: While Mass Effect 2 is devoid of any gay undertones,Shepard is all macho and bangs anything with a vagina, Dragon Age has gay sex between men! Bioware said that Mass Effect 2 is mainly targeted at the console demographic, while Dragon Age was supposed to be a PC-oriented game (I said "supposed", nobody quote that and lol).

So this begs the question: Does Bioware think that PC gamers are a bunch of fat homos, while Xbox gamers are all manly and cool?
More importantly, are they right?

Please answer truthfully. There will be no shame.

Putting aside the half-repressed teenage homophobia in your post, it's an incline if true. Presumably they correctly believe that PC gamers are, on average, older and better educated, and are less likely to be homophobes. However, the fact that they see that as a necessary pre-requisite for recognising the 15% of the market that are gay is pure fucking cowardice. If they're serious about not excluding gays, then they should do so in their console products as well, and let little Johnny Homophobe go screaming to his mommy if it hurts his poor little brain.

...cant be that, not exactly child-bearing hips on her.

I'd say, from the splay of the hips, and the reverse bend of the knees, that Quarian females are designed for ease / depth of (prolonged) squatting --- ergo, they are egg-layers.

Space Gypsy Persian Platypussies.

What's funny is that it's the older geneations thatb tend to be more homophobic. LMFAO

That's why games like JE, and DA (or even TOEE) wouldn't have been able to be mainstream games in the old days. FFS

Bioware games have a shitload of female fans who love masturbating to yaoi.

So this is what it has come to. A bunch of gaylords calling everyone else a homophobe. If I wanted that kind of shit I would watch television.

Your aversion towards homosexuals stems from your inner lust for manly love. Release the bonds on your feelings and you will live in a happy world of Twillight novels and pink sweaters for the rest of your life!

No, I think it's more that they think xbox players are extremely misogynist and homophobic

Most Greeks are currently bashing everything failing to realize that they lived beyond their means for the last decades.
Don't blame him, it's just what they are up to in these times :)

Your words speak of people I hate but... they are also confusing. Could they be... true? I have some inner searching to do, brb.

So what is it with the homophilia codex?

This place is pretty relaxed about racism, antisemitism, pics of tortured kitties...
But as soon as you make fun of homosexuals or claim that homopropaganda is bad for society everone will call you out on it with typical responses like "What?! You don't like gays? Didn't you know that every homophobe is a closet fag himself?".

Even posters who are otherwise pretty non PC participate in that. Not saying it's wrong, but why does the 'dex care so much about defending fags?
