prime numbers for mass effect for the ask game :o)
BOY was this formatting a pain in the butt. i feel like i don't have that many controversial mass effect opinions anymore, or at least none that i care about being controversial. i just hang out and enjoy my faves at this point
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
legitimately can’t think of one. i pretty universally view my faves as switches.
3. screenshot or description of the worst take you’ve seen on tumblr
not going to name and shame because a) it’s been a while and b) i actually had a very nice conversation with the person who initially posted this, but there was a headcanon post that listed joker as asexual (in a positive light) because having vrolik’s syndrome made sex too risky. the casual ableism of that really bothered me. joker is interested in sex in the game and it bothers him that his disability makes it hard to engage in physical intimacy. there’s a pervasive idea that people with certain kinds of physical disabilities can’t or just wouldn’t want to have sex (“how would that even work?? lol”), and while there are obviously disabled people who are asexual, or who abstain from sex in part or in full because the logistics are difficult or painful, it’s frustrating to see that as a default mindset in a lot of able-bodied people.
5. worst discord server and why
no opinions for this one because i’m not in any mass effect servers!
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how the fandom acts about them?
for a while i got sick of liara because her hardcore fans treated her like the default romance
11. number of fandom-related words you’ve filtered
none for mass effect actually, lol. everyone i follow who reblogs mass effect has good taste so it isn’t necessary for me
13. worst blorboficiation
i honestly couldn’t think of one! but i’ll go with a similar hater spirit and say that i hate cute innocent waifu tali characterization. this is NOTHING.
17. there should be more of this type of fic/art
horny geth content. shoutout to the fic with kaidan and the geth hopper that lives in my heart
19. you’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like…
i like the synthesis ending, okay!! i’m not even especially ashamed of it!! i think it’s better than killing all of the geth
23. ship you’ve unwillingly come around to
shenko. i’ve gone back and forth on them a LOT, both because of fandom and because kaidan’s behavior in the third game if you move on in me2 bugged me the first time around, but i do like him.
