Unable to think about anything but sex?

Are we talking the Militant Mage Libertarian?
The Violent ex-slave who is suffering and identity crisis?
The slutty pirate (Okay maybe the slutty pirate but she was funny and cheeky.)
or the Mage girl obsessed with grabbing the history of her people no matter what even if that means resorting to horrible measures?

Even though every romance able companion is bi if you've noticed since you can romance them all as either gender and they don't seem to really present a preference.

(Though Ive heard they are written as selectively gay/straight depending on your gender so that might be a thing.)

Wait a second - is this -ANOTHER- EA insane marketing campaign? I mean, fake religious protesters is on par with a fake homosexual-'outrage'-protest.

What a fuckin' retard. He actually wants the writer to get fired because he doesn't like the game feature. Don't play the game asshole.

Between this and the vandalism story [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108825-Dynasty-Warriors-Hate-Leads-to-Real-World-Vandalism], I'm going to make a petition asking gamers not to play games they don't actually like :p

The starter of the petition is a self-righteous asshole for even considering that the romantic portrayal in DA2 is anything but inaccurate for either persuasion. He clearly is the type of person that cannot be pleased.

So wait, you say no to a pick-up line and the person gets mad at you, and that warrants firing a writer....what do you think picard?
I'm sorry but newsflash, people can and do get mad when they're shot down, being gay is irrelevant. Sorry if the slider went the wrong way, doesn't mean the writer hates gay people! Besides I've been hit on by gay people before, doesn't mean I think all gay men are trying to get in my pants, you're making a mountain, out of an ANTHILL!

I fail to see why this matters when the straight characters do the same thing: it may be retarded, but it isn't homophobic.

i get the feeling that anti-gay gamer is behind this...

i have never had a problem, anders tries but if you think about it, he would be classified as pushy and is staying with that character development.

The language of the complaint is borderline incomprehensible and it looks an awful lot like trolling. But even if it isn't, the complaint is obviously dumb and, as a gay man, I actually find the complaint offensive. It's fine for a straight character to flirt with the PC and proposition him/her, but it's inappropriate stereotyping if a gay character does it? And, as mentioned, how can it possibly be stereotyping gay people as a uniform whole when it has another gay character who doesn't proposition the PC. Additional note: It's true that not all homosexual men make such advances and that some of them just want to settle down in a nice white-picket-fence neighborhood and assimilate. Some of us don't want that. At all. When you force all of the homosexuals in a game to be demure and to avoid "forcing" their homosexuality on anyone (which is already a silly phrase for anything but rape), you're being just as homophobic. In a way, you're being worse: you're not objecting to same-sex relationships, you're passing judgment on an entire culture, an entire culture that you're at least tangentially a part of.

Also, online petitions are pointless. Why do people keep doing this?

TL;DR: The stupidity is almost palpable.
