The lack of same sex romances, ESPECIALLY m/m romances, is blatant pandering towards cis, straight men and its disgusting.

Bioware and EA both proclaim to be inclusive with games that strive to reflect that. I say, put your money where your mouth is and actually do it.

No excuse for Bioware. It's 2021. Do better.

Thane's Mshep romance being cut also means that Mshep doesn't have a single male alien romance option in the entire trilogy. I don't play Mass Effect to romance humans. I'm tired of MLM being the only group who don't get to romance aliens.

Thane and Tali were also intended as bi romance options, and their respective same-gender romances were almost completely recorded and are in the files of ME2. Thane is my favorite character in the series, and knowing that he was supposed to be a bisexual man like me but that this representation was stolen is something that makes me feel angry and excluded to this day. It's time for BioWare to do the right thing.

LGBTQ+ inclusion is not a waste of time or a mistake but shows that you value the community, something BioWare has done in the past already.

Not doing this is blatant homophobia

To someone who came out as bisexual around the time of ME3 and with the help of Kaidan, it would be amazing to romance him as John from the get go. The dialogue is there...I can mod my 360 to get the romance which varries perfectly into ME2 and part of ME3. The only issue was John being called maam all the time. If modders can mod it perfectly for PC, Bioware who claims to be inclusive should be able to also. Not just focus on lesbian romances but homosexual male romances. Patches should be for PC and for consoles. Give all of us the chance, not just PC players.
