: Now what you're saying would be absolutely true if this game was set in the
: past, the present, or the near future. It does matter to highlight
: non-hetero relationships and gender non-conforming persons directly by
: confronting any concerns other characters might have, and obviously
: showing resounding support of them. However, this is nearing the 23rd
: century and people across most of Citadel space and the Traverse are
: openly queer and are vocally encouraging. I can understand your concerns
: that a game such as this where everything is up to you might not be the
: best source of representation, but when it normalizes these people where
: so many other games sensationalize them is truly exciting.
That is interesting, because I remember reading - I think it might have been from Anita Sarkeesian, that the game STILL explicitly catered towards the heterosexual male gaze. The romance options were explored, and when female characters were present, the camera angles were much more… provocative. One shot had an ass right in your face. Not so with the men.
