Thank you Jack, sleepykitten and Dejinyucu - you all rock! Thank you for being involved in these great games! I appreciate your talent and your hard work.
And yes, Jack has it right - I didn't mean to disrespect you and apologise if that's how it came across.
It's just that I know with some of the early WW games, some writers and artists were not comfortable writing or drawing gay relationships. (Apparently this was the case with Mass Effect too, as Tali was intended to be a Femshep relationship too, but the voice actress Liz Sroka didn't want to record the dialogue...)
As Jack mentions, Love & Order, Planet Stronghold & Heileen really only has 'two girl friendship' without depicting kissing or cuddling. The later games - Loren, Roommates - show clearly that it is a romantic relationship (for the gay guys as well as the lesbian couples).
And don't worry, I'm perfectly happy with romantic love I'm probably just a bit defensive because many shows use 'romantic two girl friendship' as a 'Hide Yours Gays' trope, rather than to illustrate tenderness or subtlety. I know you don't do it for those reasons and I appreciate your efforts.
