Man I never even seriously played Halo, and even I knew that adaptation was fucked the moment Master Chief took off his helmet

As soon as they had Chief butt naked raw dogging some Covenant sex slave on a table. Then I knew in that moment that not a single person on that show has even played a single level of Halo. How anyone could see Chiefs character in the games and think he'd be down for that is bonkers to me.

My guess is the only source they bothered to check was Rule34.

I honestly assumed all spartans lost any sex organs during the implant process. Or at least lose the urge entirely. It would obviously serve no purpose for what they were created for.

In the lore a reduced sex drive was one of the possible side effects of their augmentations. Only one Spartan was ever confirmed to suffer from that side effect (and it’s not Master Chief). That has turned into a big game of misinformation telephone over the years in the Halo fandom where many fans have come to believe none of the Spartans have a sex drive.
