So I’d understand why the asari wouldn’t have gendered anything on their own, but you think that once they saw other races, at least some would choose to present as male. Every asari in the three games is presented as female, and I think it shows a super simple understanding of gender and lack of imagination.

It’s really kinda boring that every asari would choose to be female, especially since I’m sure each individual has their own preferences and attractions. I’m realizing how shallow Mass Effect’s politics are, and how much broader their world could have been, instead of reducing each alien race into Roman wannabes, sexy blue ladies, and the lizard proletariat.

TLDR: No male asari feels like trans erasure.

    Don't want to know how that would have went. Mass effect couldn't even commit to making a character bisexual. Jack is bisexual on the face of it, but will only get into a relationship with a male Shepard.

    It is kind of weird how the bioware fantasy game series is more progressive than the sci fi game series when it comes to sexuality and gender.
