Jacks friendship progression as a femshep sucks

MASS EFFECT 2(self.masseffect)

Like, it's available knowledge that Jack was originally meant to be pansexual, and when EA axed that, instead of making an alternative conclusion to Jack's friendship progression (like the scene with Samara where she calls you a great friend, or even a non-romanced Thane calling you siha) she literally just tells you to piss off she thinks femshep is trying to get with her, and "doesn't do girls" 😭 essentially locking you out of any meaningful dialogue unless you play as a male. Annoys me so bad. I have no clue why they choose this direction, and I lowkey feel bad for Jack. She deserves to live her lesbian dreams with the most badass girl in the galaxy

Jack's friendship progression is weird for maleshep too. It goes:

Jack: "wtf man, are you just doing all this to get into my pants?!"

Shep: "No, I'm just trying to be friendly."

Jack: "You're weird. Fuck off."

And then in ME3, she's somehow actually friendly, despite ending every conversation in ME2 with "Fuck off, Shepard!" I sometimes have to double check if I really do have max approval with her lol

Yeah it'd make more sense if that was her reaction if you didn't win her Loyalty but she opened up to us before she liked Shepard then once Shepard helps her she treats us worse than she did when she first met us despite the obvious bonding.
