It's not just that she's straight. If you want to romance her, you also can't allow her to become Divine, despite her being the ideal choice.

David Gaider did that to deliberately...bastard.... Joey is sweet, Sera is a bit of fun but Cass....oh Cass she's the best!Β though I've never played Trevelyan. i like my elves and Tal Vasoth ... and the dwarf with Joesy's just too funny... it is still very lovely.

Unlucky that Cass wasn't a Romance option for Femquisitors , but hey, making what could've/should've been is what FanArt/FanFiction is for. Am I right? Β

Eh, ow well, I respect the decision the writers made, and pining after cute straight girls is not news to me 
Besides, now my inquisitor is very happy with Sera

I tried to play up to both Cassandra and Sera. Cassandra only wanted to be friends and Sera's approval mechanic fucked me over, so I ended up alone. Bah!

oh an easy way around that especially if playing an elf is after you can start flirting with her at Skyhold , tell her your interested in her while she's still outside the tavern.Β Go with chuckles to haven so it fixes up the place a little, you get your room opened up and more freedom to move aroundΒ ( don't change the bed yet because the animation for the sex seen is weird if you do) then openΒ all the placces on the map. send Marvo the Under to Taventer to get more points from her.Β but don't do anyting yet with the next judging unless you know sera approves of it .
open all the areas on Skyhold waroom map then go there with Sera in the partyΒ flirt with Scout harding one right after the other,Β you doing have to do any of the quest in those new areas just make sure they are all opening including Cresswood. you will getΒ 'Sera Approves'. then go back to skyhold talk to Sera you should at least by now be able to get the pranks . do them . now any other race save for elf will probably be able to get rood cookies nest if you talk to her elf will be able to just talk to her tell her once more your interested in her, you get the 1st lets have sex. and race her to your bedroom scene.Β if you kill the desire demon with Sera in your party then talk to her you will then get roof cookies and an extra line about roof sex.... because you've already had it. then she dose the whole gift thing ..... and there you go.Β

Well, that's one way to wu her. Β I did get cookies on the roof though, but no present to her, which I read is key.
π: 0 β©: 1
It is it will come, i think I had to do either the winter palace or adamet with her 1st as a elf. with any other female its easier, because she approves, with elf its only slightly approves so its much harder but stick with it. like i said make sure very early on you way you're interested in her, then woo her. I had taken her to all the places had pranks then checked on the interested part and we sat down and had the race to the bed room sex, killed the desire demon Ishmal then had roof cookies it just takes slightly longer with an elf
with adaar all of that was much faster, just to be sure though i took her to the places, had pranks, roof cookies then race to bedroom, then the presentΒ i didn't have to do anyting else ( also make sure you give her Viviaan's gift idea if you don't you just get a fade to black....nothing more but Vivy...well she has an odd idea that Sera loves)
π: 0 β©: 1
I read about the gift from Vivian, that is requried. But after some time I skipped talking to Vivian, Solas, Cole and some other party members, because I found their personality just dull filler. So maybe that's one way I went wrong.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, the gift from Vivie if nothing else works but when you say I went to everyone else to ask Sera takes that as a git. i won't give you a spoiler but its well worth talking to them even if they annoy you for the gift ideas

Oh no D:. What about Josephine?
*cough* Sera's romance is the best though *cough*

Straight Cassandra was one of the most cruel jokes in Bioware history... I still can't imagine her with a man, no matter how often I watch a video showing it. :/
Great this didn't stop you! I think Cass/Femquisitor will reach Fem!Hawke x Isabela's popularity.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know! D: I expected her to be at least available for both genders .___.Β
I'd really like a butchy lesbian character, damnit
π: 0 β©: 1
Me, too. Seeing her with a man just doesn't feel right to me. I saw the screencaps of the bi Cass mod and ... I have to say, with a girl, it all feels much more natural. Especially with a human or Qunari. Qunari was my actual plan until Bioware ruined it. I don't know, either. Jack was intended bisexual anyway, and since the citadel DLC her x Miranda is kind of canon if both are unromanced. I don't know why they scrap bisexuality all the time and give homosexuality even less of a chance.
π: 0 β©: 2
agree wholeheartedly with both of you 
also yeah jack not being bi :V worst thing ever, especially since she was intended to be (aka the voice clips of femshep saying romance lines). miranda was also originally supposed to be a lesbian, but that also got scrapped! also i'm glad after the citadel dlc they at least acknowledged miranda/jack a bit but it's honestly so ridiculous that jack isn't canonly bisexual... like she tells miranda she has nice tits, and in some versions of the party tells tali if she wasn't in that environment suit she'd definitely get with her and tali even flirts back
sighhh, and i don't even need to mention how bisexual!ashley was cut. bisexual!kaiden was also cut in the first game, but at least msheps got something in mass effect 3... even though it doesn't make sense why his being male is the reason you can't romance him in me1... but somehow... in me3... he's wants to be with you? like i could understand if it was set in the past, and like kaiden had some internalized crap and either didn't realize he was bi or couldn't accept it but considering how everyone constantly says that by that point people just liked who they liked, no questions or punishments for loving who you love, there's literally no reason why he's okay with it in the first game only with women.Β

Indeed. In real life, you see some butch lesbians, but when do you ever in a video game? They are all lipstick lesbians for the fucking straight male gaze. It's offensive to queer people, but since we live in a hteronormative society, nobody cares and those who care get silenced and shamed. Even the L word was full of hollywood lesbians and the only "butch" turned out trans, so that really doesn't count. Trans people are trans people, cis people are cis people and genderfluid people are genderfluid, but Max was clearly searching for himself at the beginning and a man in the end. And Shane was androgynous, so yeah. Closest it got.
It is important to show that masculine women CAN be straight, but before that, we would have needed a real butch lesbian in DAI, so I am not sure what to think about the Cassandra issue. It is good for (cishet) females/feminism, but doesn't help the queer community much.
Well, Jack IS canon bisexual, she mentions her past with women. She is just sick of it in ME2 and says so. And Miranda was planned a LESBIAN? Like, women only? OH, that would have been so glorious! Fuck, man. But yeah, at least canon Miranda x Jack. That at least acknowledges their bisexuality. It's actually nice to have characters who aren't into you, but can be into each other, gender-wise. It's a bit like leaning heavier towards one gender than the other. Makes me sick that it is always the opposite gender, though. Like Kaidan, Cullen, Miranda and Jack. Cullen crushed on a female mage in DAO and was supposed to be bi in DAI, as well as Kaidan was actually supposed to be bi from the start, like you said, but ended up available in ME3 only. Just like Ash, except she never made it back into the game. I tried to fix that in my art.

i agree, though using queer as an umbrella term for lgbt+ ppl is something i'm against as it's a slur (one that i have reclaimed myself!) but for a lot of people it still holds really bad connations of the harassment / abuse they've suffered through the word. so terms like "queer people" and "queer community" are kinda :/ to me, i'd rather we say lgbtq or lgbt+
i haven't seen the l word, sorta avoided it as i'd heard of the transmisogynist themes (i really didn't even have to hear that, a show about lesbians made my either cis lesbian women or cis men would obviously have gross transmisogyny with the whole "not liking penises ew ew ew!!"). and with jack, she is bisexual, but i wouldn't say she is in canon. you can have a past with a certain gender and realize you're not actually attracted to them (i.e lesbians who've dated / thought they were attracted to men) but considering how it's supposedly at time where there is no social bias surrounding sexual orientation, no subliminal messages trying to program you to like a certain gender, etc... it doesn't make sense to say that jack was "confused" and really straight in the end in a society that exists like that, so bioware trying to pretend she is straight is bullshit.
but yea it'd only have been canon if she was an option for femshep, because mentioning her past doesn't really negate the fact that the only difference between a maleshep romancing her and a femshep romancing her, and the deciding factor is their gender and nothing about their personality, she's not bisexual (in canon). even though as you said some people have preferences, as i myself am mostly interested in women, her being solely unnatracted to femshep for her gender... is kind of? like if she was literally the exact same person as male shep, and interested in women, her gender shouldn't have been a problem imo.
aand yep, miranda was also planned to be blonde lol xD
omg yeah also i don't like how in dao and da2, and even mass effect but not as much, how you can't like... be not attracted to the "opposite" gender. like i haven't played far enough in inquisition to say anything, but everyone assuming you're interested in dudes and being like uhhh NOPE and there's literally nothing you can say about it... like aria saying you need a nice man to keep you warm at night and a woman for mshep... i mean NAH! they totally don't have norms on gender relationships in the me universe

I wasn't aware that "queer" was an insult, but I have seen people complain about "het" as well while it's merely a word to describe m + f fanwork. I've been watching "Queer as folk" and never thought the term could be something evil. Seems I have a knowledge gap when it comes to this. Do you refer to Lisa when talking about transmisogyny? Because there was only a trans man as far as I remember, and Lisa was a really difficult case and was treated like a joke. Or is it the radfem lesbian mentality? I guess you were referring to that. Well, the show is kinda old. Sense8 is more progressive, but ultimately is about the cishet bland white couple + breeding in the end, which was extremely disappointing. We seem to have to agree to disagree on Jack. To me, she is canon bisexual, simply because she said it and is with miranda in ME3 if both are unromanced - which is a current state she is in, annulling the theory of "yeah, I've been with women but I'm not into them".
I'm not a fan of availability = sexuality proof. I am heavily annoyed by peolpe being self-absorbed enough to think they / the playable character is the measure of all things. Vivienne in DAI is a woman who is at least attracted to men and she can lose her partner. She is still not romanceable. She could be. She isn't. As is leliana, even if unromanced in DAO. Are they asexual? No. Life isn't about the player. Life isn't about you. Jack doesn't have to be straight just because she cannot be romanced by y woman. She chooses Miranda if you leave both of them alone, tha's proof enough for me. I am sick of "BUT PROOF!1111" for a non-cishet orientation anyway. LBGTA+ people exist. It doesn't have to be proven as it has been in Dorian's case. Like in a fairy tale. Some LBGTA+ people are subtle about it, in denial, etc, etc. I am tired. Really.
Yeah, I made Miranda blonde in all my works abecause I don't like the hate for blones that Bioware have (Meredith Anora, Conrad Verner, thy always choose blonde for characters that are hated or die (Cailan). Yvonne Strahovsky is great as she is. She doesn't have to be black-haired for that. I am really disappointed that they had to change her from her original concept to what she is now. And yeah, heteronormativity in ME is really fucking low. Old-fashioned mindset for 2185, if you ask me.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, the reason ppl are pretty adverse to it is because it's a slur (like d*ke, f*ggot, etc.) that has been used against ppl in a negative way so a lot of people are uncomfortable with it, and some even have traumatic reactions to the word because of the bigotry they've faced. i never thought it was really confirmed that she was with miranda though? like there was a comment about her having nice tits and your shepard can comment on their sexual tension, but besides that nothing really comes of it iirc?
but also i think you may have misunderstood where i was saying that you can be with ppl in the past and it not defining your sexuality, i wasn't saying that's what i thought jack was, in my mind she is and always will be bisexual, i was just saying that's probably what bioware was going with.
and i kind of understand where you're coming from with vivienne and leliana, but the reason they can't be romanced isn't because of gender. the only reason jack won't romance shepard is if she's a woman, which just makes no sense to me considering all the bisexual hints we've gotten in me2 and me3.Β
again, jack will always be bi in my mind, i just wish it could have been shown better, even without the shepard/jack romance (including msheps) her and miranda being more than just a joke or fanbait as it seemed to be
and yup, the "Default Staightness" in mass effect seriously was annoying as hell!! like we're this far in the future and fucking STILL? lol i remember talking to kaiden once after we just rescued liara and being like "back off, i saw her first haha" and he's like "uhh.. uhhhh.... i hear the... uh... asari are.. OPEN to that sort of thing?" runs away
like it was so awkward and as much as i hate the whole male/female dichotomy being forced onto aliens (ffs), the asari are supposedly all "women" in earth terms. no shit they'd be "open" to being with women as before they met other races that's all they did? idk i just found it really weird tbhΒ

True. To be honest, her heterosexuality feels very forced, imo. She just... doesn't seem like it. At all...
π: 0 β©: 1
Forced? So a girl with short hair and a tough attitude has to be bi/gay or it feels "forced"?
Nothing about Cassie ever implied she might like girls, other thn the fanbase itself making assumptions that everyone would be bi like in DA2. There's nothing "forced" about tough girl with short hair being heterosexual.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait wait wait. What exactly are you saying here? That what he/she said about "a girl with short hair and tough attitude HAS to be gay or bi", is just his opinion? That's reallyΒ presumptuous of you, don't you think?
Are you actually saying you can't see a woman who looks or acts like her, liking men instead of women?
That's actually offensive you know. Me and my sister look kinda similar to Cassandra, with my sis even more since she works out, and she also has a very no-nonsense personaity like her. According to you, that means she has to be bi or gay then? Can't possibly like men only?
That's like still living in the 50's.
Fortunately for us, today we can look or act any way we want, and still have free reign over who we're attracted to.
Thank god most people don't think like you.

Oh no, that sucks D:. I "fortunately" found out before the game was released, but it was sad, I had really kind of expected her to
be romanceable by female inquisitors when they announced her as a romance. But oh well, at least I'm happily romancing Sera now
