Lemme start by being cliche here and saying I'm very liberal, and some of my best friends are gay lol.

It's not the gay that bugs me. On some level, I think it's great. Partially I've been bugged by the fact that the representation of gay people in the game is often hamfisted and forced, and if you know anything about the team behind this game you know they are pretty much just looking for a pat on the back, because SJWs care more about being seen as progressive than they actually care about being progressive. This is evident in the completely tone deaf representation of a transgender, for example. Someone who clearly doesn't know anything about transgendered people wrote that in, probably expecting to see articles about how great he/she is for doing it.

But beyond the insincerity, something else feels off. And I just realized... There should not be so many gay people on this mission. Seriously, practically every time you see a datapad or hear a background conversation that mentions a relationship, it's a same sex relationship. And that makes no damn sense because this is a mission to settle a new galaxy. There's nothing morally or ethically wrong with being gay, but it is kind of a problem when part of your mission is to populate another galaxy. I can understand someone with extremely useful skills and knowledge getting through, like suvi, but the random background characters... Would that not be part of the screening process? I mean, there's literally a small character story arc that is all about the importance of making babies.

Bioware was so concerned with making sure everyone sees how progressive they are that it didn't occur to them that bringing so many gay people on an intergalactic pilgrimage MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. Lol
