If she is an illegal hot latina she gets my approval

tortilla burger		2007-09-19 02:11:13 PM

Why only girl on girl alien action? Because it's hot, that's why. DUH

Tallow'nbits		2007-09-19 02:11:34 PM

as long as it's not that awful fake lesbian crap where they just wag their tounges at each other and clumsily touch each other's botched breast augmentation.

oh, it is?

/meh.

legmaps		2007-09-19 02:11:37 PM

perhaps they could stem the controversy by having the main character decapitate the female alien after sex.

This.

I "owned" Mass Effect before I ever bought a 360.

The game's going to be rated 12 in the UK, and parents are going to freak out here and demand it be rated 17+.

A British Board of Film Classification description page reveals some potential sexual prejudice in Mass Effect, although it's not the type you might expect. According to the description, players using a female character can initiate a sex scene "between her and male human or a female humanoid alien." Male characters, on the other hand, can only initiate sex "between him and a human woman or a humanoid female alien." If we're reading that right, it means the game allows for alien lesbian sex, but not any type of male-on-male sex. Furthermore, all non-alien sex has to be heterosexual.

The same-sex love issue is by now well-tread territory for BioWare -- most fans know by now that Juhani from Knights of the Old Republic is a lesbian and Jade Empire allowed same-sex romance for both genders. So why should it be different in Mass Effect? Does BioWare think that their audience will clamor for girl-on-alien-girl action while recoiling from man-on-man love? And why is lesbian sex only OK if it involves another species? Is this some sort of compromise to avoid a Bully-style controversy?

We'll have to wait until the final version of Mass Effect to see if the BBFC description is accurate, but as it stands now this odd double standard makes us wonder if the game will be a step forward or back for sexual politics.

There are two variables here.

There's your character, which can be male or female.

And there's two NPC characters, one male, one female, that you can get it on with.

Apparently, the female NPC is bi.

But the male NPC is straight, so obviously there wouldn't be any gay sex going on.

/people making mountians out of molehills

Dahne		2007-09-19 02:13:42 PM

Juhani is hot.

That is all.

lordargent		2007-09-19 02:13:59 PM

At least, that's the way I understand it.

Uzzah		2007-09-19 02:14:44 PM

So, if it's an alien, how do you know it's a girl?

Because it's got tits.

How are they different from regular tits?

Because it's got four of them.

Oh_Enough_Already		2007-09-19 02:14:57 PM

Isn't the game just mirroring our times?

Honestly, I don't know any women between 18 and 45 that haven't had sex with another woman at least once.

Isn't bisexuality amongst women more or less the norm these days?

im_naked_right_now		2007-09-19 02:14:57 PM

Anyone thats played Sims2 has already done this

Or even better, the ones where they use nothing but toys on each other and rarely if ever actually touch skin to skin.

Now, who here among us can say they haven't installed mods on Baldur's Gate II to enable Drow girllove with Viconia?

pretty much, yeah...

She's okay, but she has a chin like Jay Leno

QFT. Get a few drinks in some women and gender preference goes right out the window. Sometimes unprovoked. I find the whole phenomenon entertaining, but frustrating, none of these lesbian outbursts last long enough for me to get the video equipment ready.

Gothmolly		2007-09-19 02:22:41 PM

if its an alien, is it really lesbianism?

Lesbianism: It's not like in the movies.

BizarroHulk		2007-09-19 02:23:37 PM

SnoreCriminal "Could someone describe it to me... In detail?"

"I stroked her erect antennae as I removed her space panties. We rubbed our breasts against each other, my two human breasts nestled between her four green ones. I slid my human fingers inside her five green uteri, as she slipped her dorsal tentacle between my thighs.

"Twelve parsecs later we howled the climax of our forbidden love to the silent stars as they winked at us, knowingly, from afar..."

Stupid Floppy Clownshoes		2007-09-19 02:23:44 PM

I somehow misread it as "Hot girl-on-arabian lesbian sex"

dittybopper		2007-09-19 02:23:46 PM

I came here for the Arcturian poontang reference, and I have been sorely disappointed.

Apparently The Gay Gamer has never been on any kind of forum or chat medium with the target audience (13 year olds) or they would know that the word "gay" is used synonymously with "not fun."

It's simple economics.

I MUST GET THIS GAME.
