Andromeda and SJW influence: Delusional Rage or Unfortunate Reality? (Discussion)

Actually what she says is "male and female have no real meaning" to asari.

Which is true, since there is no point in distinguishing between the two when "male" doesn't exist for them.  

Do we have special terms for carbon-based life and silicon-based life?  No, such distinctions are meaningless to us (so far)

This is one of the aspects of mass Effect I wished they'd explore as a purely alien mindset, rather than for it into some topical human issue.  What would a truly monogendered race  which reproduced via parthenogenesis be like?

Asari are all equipped to bear young (however that's done, as we've never seen an asari with a baby bump)

Thus, why they are all considered "female"

I would think that using female pronouns and terminology for asari is simply a convenience for others.  Or perhaps a quirk of translation software.  I would suspect that asari language may not have a term for "him" or "her" simply because it's not necessary for them.  There is literally nothing to distinguish the two.  

Heck the only real difference between an asari "mother" and "father" is "which one popped out the kid"

I see, so you're another of Jason What's-His-Face's parrots. There is still no proof of the hiatus claim. 

And I don't see why I should be tolerant of people who actually think that there is some nefarious "agenda" against straight men just because the options available to them in one game don't fit their personal tastes. If a straight male player is simply disappointed that none of his options are appealing to him, yes I can sympathize with that. But when he starts claiming that Bioware hates all straight men because of that, as if he is the arbiter of what all straight men want, then I'm going to call bullshit on his narcissism and entitlement.

I've said this before. If I had claimed that Bioware hates gay men because I think Dorian's mustache is unattractive, everyone would call me out on being overdramatic and self-centered, and they would be completely right to do so. But for some reason, when a straight male player claims that Bioware hates all straight men because they think Cora's haircut is unattractive, everyone is expected to accept it as a serious argument. Why the double standard?

The translation aims to specifically use the feminine versions of words. This includes even for words which masculine counterpart is no longer considered to be necessarily indicative of a gender. An example would be hunter or priest. This would suggests that the universal translator has specifically been programmed to always use linguistic femininity when translating the asari language. Furthermore, I don't see why the asari language would not have a term for "him" or "her" as even the asari themselves are biologically female, there would likely exist species on their planet(s) which would not be mono-gender. 

Additionally, the conversation between Shepard and Aethyta in Mass Effect 3 suggests that there are terms in the asari language to distinguish between the parents and their role in the conception. Aethyta refers to herself as the father which means she's either using the term because it's easier or that, contrary to its portrayal, asari language is not exclusively female. This which would fit with Liara's comment. Aethyta's offense suggests, to me, that it's a case of the latter and not the former.

Aethyta: "Let's hope not. Anyway, she's never met her father. And... well, that was me." 
Shepard: "You mean you were her other mother, right?"
Aethyta: "No. I didn't pop her out. Hell, she's never even met me."
Shepard: "Sorry. If you were human, you'd both be called the mother regardless of which one gave birth."
Aethyta: "Well, I'm not human, am I? Anthropocentric bag of dicks."   

I'd argue that it confirmed it but that's only if we accept that every exchange with aliens have been through an universal translator. To explain: if the term Aethyta used to refer to parental role by was translated into "father" instead of "mother" then that means that she was using a different term as translator knew to differentiate the two. 

Don't forget, pretty much the only reason the developers tried to claim that asari don't "count" as female, is because they getting heat for letting FemShep have a same-sex romance option, but not MaleShep. They even repudiated that asinine argument with Cora's response to being hit on by Sara Ryder.

"Anybody who dares question the fairly obvious SJW agenda in the world these days is a white supremacist."

Neat false equivalency bro. 

More like, "many of the people screaming about the "SJW Agenda", which no one has actually been able to define, are white supremacists." The people who defended a romance novel about a Jewish concentration camp inmate falling in love with a Nazi commandant and converting to Christianity, for example.

I knew this was coming.

The extremists were there, for sure.

Everybody else is horrified.

So it is a-okay to dismiss people who have legitimate complaints with a few design decisions in a video game as well to lump them in with white supremacists, racists, and homophobes, etc?

Please descend from you ivory tower and grace us lowly peasants with your presence, my lord.

And you fill my mouth with words I never said... why even bother.

I defended the complaints I've laid bare and addressed a ridiculous false equivalency that you attempted to pervert.

I speak for myself only and you lumped me into multiple groups of shitty people that OI do not speak for nor defend.

I never argued that the shit you listed was SJWism, but you are incredibly quick to dismiss and label anyone with a different opinion.
