>At some point after that, a player can wander into the Cultural Center of the Nexus (i.e., The Hall of Presidents, but for the races of the Andromeda galaxy to learn about the races of the Milky Way galaxy) and overhear a conversation between an asari docent and an angaran visitor.
>The brief conversation establishes not only that some asari use male or neutral pronouns, but that angarans also have more than one or two pronouns.
Well, Sup Forums?

There is is, the shittiest post I've seen all day. Here's your (you). you really worked hard for that one.
calling bullshit, and not clicking the polygon link to confirm
you can't ruse me with your clickbait, polycucks
This.
All that SFM porn of asari penetrating things is now canon. awesome.
I'm not clicking on your shit polygon. Get a real job.
Despite Liara explaining it a million times it seems no one understood that calling asari "female" means nothing to them. They don't identify with any sort of gender. This is just shoehorned PC bullshit.
The Asari are mono-gender, meaning they're neither male nor female. Never in the original trilogy did anyone say they were all female.
They have distinctly feminine features which made everyone "HUR DUR DEY ALL LESBIANS," but in reality they have no gender so all pronouns are purely for translations sake.
Also Polygon is fake news
>here's your (you)
>oesn't even (you) the guy
Take a (you) yourself
THIS
So do Asaris makes babies with each other and human females?
I know Asari x Asari babies are frowned upon.

>OH FUG PEOPLE HAVE REALIZED THAT THE ONLY GAY OPTIONS WE'VE MADE IN THESE GAMES ARE LITERALLY THE SAME FUCKING CHARACTER COPY PASTED EACH TIME
>Better say some Asari use male Pronouns so we can make them a "gay" option too
>YAAAAAS SLAY QUEEEEEN
ME already confirmed this shit in 2 I'm pretty sure. Didn't liara meet her 'father' at the bar?
Samara is still the hottest bitch in that universe.
>Didn't liara meet her 'father' at the bar?
who was the mother?
"Although they have one gender, they are not asexual and do in fact require a partner to reproduce. However, asari reproduction is very different from other forms of sexual reproduction. An asari provides two copies of her own genes to her offspring, one of which is passed on unaltered. The second set of genes is altered in a unique process called melding, also known as the joining. Effectively, the asari and her partner briefly become one unified nervous system, sharing memories, thoughts, and feelings. The offspring is always an asari, regardless of the species or sex of the 'father' and in the case that the offspring is of two asari, the father is the one who does not give birth."
"They frown upon intraspecies conception, since genetic traits and cultural insight is gained from mating outside their species, so it's considered wasteful for asari to reproduce together."
easy peesy
you didn't play ME1?
>Miscegenation propaganda
Good goys, just play mass effect!
>futa
No no, you don't get it.
>some asari use male or neutral pronouns
They're just identifying as male or some genderfluid bullshit.
Blue Drop?
Ok, pretty sweet desu.
So does that mean that PeeBee impregnated Ryder? Since her sex scene includes the "melding".
Never beat it.
No the Asari always gives birth in an Asari/Non-Asari conception
So PeeBee did get Knocked up?
>Character is not human, but alien
>Of course probably doesn't have genders or even some weird shit like 8 genders or reproduce by spores
>This is taken to into account of all aliens that interact with humans
>Everyone just uses he/she for convenience instead of having to memorize possibly thousands of different words to describe aliens
>Somehow this is groundbreaking when it has existed the the beginning of sci-fi writing
Is this new news? Asari are all one gender, they don't consider themselves male or female. Shit has no meaning to them.
So does it have to be a sapient species, or will any organism do?
They are aliens that reproduce by psychically fucking other aliens. This is probably the least shoehorned sjw thing I heard about this game.
Peebee isn't as ugly as people say in my opinion.
>In the original Mass Effect it's explained that Asari choose their sex based on their partner
Polyshit can go fuck itself.
This is really progressive of Bioware to include male/neutral pronouns for the asari. I wish more game devs were this daring.
Why do they never let you gay romance the hunky aliens? They stick you with the most generic human faggots imaginable
>Too retarded to understand basic concepts of the piece of fiction in question when explained to him repeatedly
>Also a sexual degenerate
Not even remotely surprised.
They wouldn't have a nervous system that's advanced enough[/spoilerp
Dunno I only had casual sex with my Peebs
Wow, so next generation!
Old news?
>Polygon never played any Mass Effect games before this
Shocking.
LGBTQSJWs and nu-males have actually ruined a series now, and it was one I cherished when it began.
I just started a last run of ME3 after having finished running the first two again over the holidays. 3 was bad, but nothing could prepare me for this.
fixed
i still don't get Asari mating.
Did Liari technically fuck you when she got the Prothean data from your head? Peebee was acting all weird about joining.
Is that why Peebee looks like Shrek?
>Never in the original trilogy did anyone say they were all female
Yes they did, in ME2, I distinctly remember the contradiction even when it came out. I can't remember where, but it is there, and and Asari says it. I think it was Liara.
Despite looking like Shrek, she's the most fuckable female in Andromeda.
Which is really sad.
they can probably mind merge without getting pregnant
maybe she used protection
>Yes they did
>I can't remember where
pick one
>Never in the original trilogy did anyone say they were all female.
The codex literally says "asari, an all-female race."
Monogendered is not the same as being hermaphroditic or agendered. Asari are based off those whiptail lizards that reproduce by parthenogenesis.
WHY WOULD ASARI USE GENDERED PERSONAL PRONOUNS AT ALL
THEY'RE NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH, THEY'RE SPEAKING ASARI AND GETTING TRANSLATED
Kill yourself, homo.
I couldn't be specific, but it is mentioned expressly in ME2.
They also refer to themselves in purely female pronouns.
Its real.
Pretty fucking sure in the first trilogy there was an Asari born from a Krogan who spoke like a dude anyway.
This isn't new
Female is the default template, chromosomes like y or z insert instructions for the expression of maleness, ergo any mono gendered species will be female.
That said it makes perfect sense to me butch asari would consider themselves male-like liara even has a 'father'.
Thank fuck I didnt fall for this game like my retard cousin
So....you are saying Asari legit have cocks too sometimes? do you know where you are? are you a mandman user?
but males don't exist in asari society
Why would they want a male pronoun, when the word male doesn't even exist in their vocabulary
it probably exists in their vocabulary, as I doubt that the entire planet of Thessia is populated with monogender species, but there is zero reason they'd ever use it to refer to themselves
Goddamnit. Somone from the Gen Z generation better make me a warhammer 40k worth playing where i can purge the traitor degenerates indiscriminately of their pain.
But to be fair isn't this humanoid species supposed to be akin to amphibians? Unlike humans where we only exist as either male or female amphibians can switch between both. But, they do this without supplemental hormones and mutilating their genitals.
SJW's need to go.
I'm pretty sure we knew this
Asari look different to people depending on what their ideal interests are
...
I am 100% with you on that. Give me a decent game where I can slaughter filthy "progressive" aliens and defend decency and I'll eat it up.
Oh wait
hahahaha get fucked I am going to get a 40k game worth playing
jk like every other 40k game this was horrible
I'm not even looking for much I just want something akin to Doom 4 but instead of zombies I'm killing degenerates. I just want pure fascism put into a video game that makes most people uncomfortable.
>Bioshit
they don't switch, there's nothing for them to switch to
You know what wouls be interesting? Non-humanoid aliens with lots of fucked up gender choices, like self reproducing like amoebas, or dominant females that mate and kill the male like black widows, or male dominant societies with full on femal rape and slavery.
That's the kind of diversity I wanna se in scifi.
underrated post
>prefer to be called
>actually a male
Choose one
you could play Total War Warhammer and REMOVE ELF (and the French)
Asari are a one-gender race. There is no switching for them, different genders are literally alien to them.
literally in the first optional conversation you have with liara in mass effect 1 she says that even asari are mono-gendered and don't fit in with the female/male binary system that humans have. what is the problem here
they wouldn't use gendered personal pronouns at all in that case
>Whole point of an alien race is that they're gender neutral and appear to all other races as one of their females (see: conversation with turian and salarian in 2)
>NAH BUT SOME IDENTIFY AS MALE AND USE MALE PRONOUNS
Fucking new bioware. They are actually tripping over their own SJW campaigns.
>It sucks that the English language assumes gender neutrality with male pronouns, let's make a gender neutral race that circumvents that
>THERE ARE TRANS ASARI THAT IDENTIFY AS MALE WE'RE STILL RELEVEEEEEENT
That was 3
>ASARI CONFIRMED NOT ALL FEMALE
We've known this since ME1, haven't we? They can't be female and be able to reproduce with both members of a species at the same time. It's not "not all" it's "none are."
So actually rubbing uglies together is not nessecary.
All they have to do is put their heads together and trip out. All of the humping is just ceremony.
>Lamest reproduction ever
>appear to all other races as one of their females (see: conversation with turian and salarian in 2)
that's not what that conversation was about. They're not projecting illusions to everyone around them at all time (as they look the same in recordings and pictures), but rather different species find different things about them attractive, due to naturally differing standards of attractiveness
>I'm not even looking for much I just want something akin to Doom 4 but instead of zombies I'm killing degenerates. I just want pure fascism put into a video game that makes most people uncomfortable.
Yup. I'd really like that too. Let me play as the fucking oppressive "bad guys" for once and give me the most annoying, tolerant, progressive and optimistic heroes to fight against so I can tear them down.
But nu-bioware can't into sci-fi.
They have proper gender pronouns.
they're not speaking English, just being translated by our translator nanite things
If Asari are genderless, there is no proper pronoun.
im so glad that andromeda is an unmitigated failure
I want an Imperial guard game or a comfy Ork game where I can chill with my WAAAAGGGHH!!!
Why the fuck a society that has the same sex would use more than one pronoun? unless it's something like to differentiate social status or something like that it makes no sense.
The only way to work is that they introduced another pronoun long after they made contact with other races.
>(see: conversation with turian and salarian in 2)
If you took that conversation too literally. The point of that interaction was to joke about subconscious association, like how we associate a simple doodled smiley face as a human smile.
I don't get it, what's the big deal? Asari have always been gender confused aliens.
>gender confused
Nobody is confused about their genders except the people who think they have them.
>Also Polygon is fake news
I want the "fake news" meme to end. It could just as easily read "doesn't conform to my small world views" without the "is".
That said, if everyone at Polygon drank a shit-ton of bleach it wouldn't phase me in the least.
Exactly. I want where I can essentially be the Legion in Fallout New Vegas in a Doom Styled FPS where I can mow down the archetypal progressive characters without any mercy whatsoever, all in service to eternal order.
Is that really so much to ask for?
>I want the "fake news" meme to end
Won't ever happen if you're telling people on the internet that it's annoying to you.
This is so fucking stupid and makes zero sense in the context of the universe.
The post has nothing to do with gender.
But they do. Some act more masculine, some more feminine.
>polygon article
>on Sup Forums
You gotta go back.
>WAAAH STOP INVADING MY SAFE SPACE
You have to go back.
that doesn't mean they have genders, you're just proscribing traits that are associated with human genders to them
Polygon has lost all its credibility long time ago. There is nothing to discuss that comes out of that shithole except the videos of how shit they are at vidya.
>hurr *instert generic left wing media* is fake news
>hurr *insert generic right wing media* is fake news
I don't why people thought the news in the west was ever not fake on either side. 4th estate is always used for political and economic purposes ffs. The only reason people are going on about it now is because its in the news now.
Once this little civil war going on in the media stops people will forget it even happened and assume whatever new speak bs that replaces it is finally the arbiter of truth they've been looking for. Then the cycle happens again.
respect my fucking alien pronouns
an IG game would be better off being based on BF or something
64/64 would work well enough
or dare i say it? based on PLANETSIDE?
Well duh, we all knew they weren't Female.
Liara has a dad...
but the dad has a rockin pear of tits too
