Is the BioWare/Mass Effect fanbase really filled with triggered snowflakes?

Not filled, but the loudest minority of fans that still consider themselves fans do seem to be triggered snowflakes.
Just as an aside, I was at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios recently and there was actually a woman who was triggered by seeing a "Death Eater" cosplayer there. She went on a tirade about Death Eaters being nazis and how offensive it is for someone to pretend to be one. And she was wearing a Harry Potter outfit, so she's a fan of the series. My immediate thought was "She complains about a lack of inclusion in BioWare games because she can't romance a transgender otherkin Asari as a non-gendered Shepard with dwarfism." Then she turned around and she had the BioWare logo tattooed on her leg right next to that "all inclusive" gender symbol.

Not exactly complex. But there's a lot of noise in the AD&D system, and learning to see through it takes work.

Yeah, I figured that. I should have let the thread get into the "yes it was" stage first.

The justification is irrelevant.  It may be a somewhat fresh wound for you, but that hardly changes the fact that this matter was settled five years ago.  Whether you like it or not, the Extended Cut DLC was the solution we received.  Bioware has even said that no further changes to the ending would be made.  

If a solution was given, it was unsatisfactory to some, and the developers have said that nothing would be altered any further, then what do your complaints accomplish?  Continuing to express your displeasure is not going to change Mass Effect 3's ending and, as much as you claim otherwise, it doesn't have much to do with Andromeda's story, which never really references any specific details of 3's ending.

It's not a significant portion of the fanbase, but I would say it's a significant portion of this forum at least.  If you go looking through almost any thread on here, you'll find a handful of users talking about how Bioware either no longer makes the sort of games that they like or the kind of games that they were once known for.  Even if one considers that to be true, other developers are making the kind of games that would likely scratch that itch, like Pillars of Eternity.  Being mad at Bioware for not making the kind of game someone is used to or would prefer is ridiculous, especially when there's a good chance that another developer has already made it.  

Game developers are just people, and people change.  It happens.  I hate to sound like a broken record (although that seems to be 90% of what I do on here anyways), but the energy people spent complaining about how Bioware isn't making the game they want would be better spent supporting another developer who is making that sort of game.

Which got nothing to do with it. The people having made Baldur's Gate, NWN or ME1 are no longer present for their largest part. Even more so since Montreal was a new addition that only worked support before doing MEA. Which also wouldn't have been a problem if the leads hadn't changed several times over. The game didn't have one vision and one direction, but several in a row.

Agreed. In short, starting with 2011, Bioware, in an effort to change/innovate/draw in a new crowd, have failed to satisfy/alienated their previously established audience.  

What? The entire reason we're in Andromeda is because of the ending disaster. Do you think if the endings had made any kind of sense they would have broken the basics of their lore and common sense to relocate to another galaxy? They certainly didn't do it because they thought it was a good idea. That's how badly handled the endings were.
And as you're not in charge of the internet I'll continue to point out what's wrong with the endings whenever it comes up (they're appallingly written emo teen fanfic shit that made no narrative sense and deliberately destroyed any chance of a sequel, in case you're in any doubt).

To be fair, Bioware probably never intended to continue the franchise when they came up with that ending.

And while I hate how the ending led us the disappointing mess that is Andromeda, Bioware didn't mess up with ME3 in terms of future titles if all they planned was a trilogy. They messed up when they decided they could still milk Mass Effect after all by going to Andromeda without any compelling plausible vision for that scenario.

Whoever thought MEA was a good idea after that ending AND gave the franchise to the B team is on my shitlist.

I'm one of those people who doesn't mind the ending much at all. In fact, the catalyst conversation still gives me goosebumps and I love the music. The reaper logic makes perfect sense if you accept the premise of conflict as inevitable. No gripes with that. The "solution" however is utter space magic nonsense. But I didn't really expect anything else tbh. I was only disappointed by what followed after that. A rush cheap Deus Ex Human Revolution ripoff color coded "payoff".

I never desperately wanted another Mass Effect game. I knew it wouldn't end well. At least going to Andromeda means that the Milky Way and Shepard remain untainted, I can just pretend MEA never happened and continue to happily replay the MET.

Are you suggesting that the audience is not directly responsible for game development decisions?  Because they absolutely are.  Why do you think Titanfall 2 had a Single Player campaign?  Audience wanted it and complained about the lack of one for Titanfall 1.  Why is Call of Duty doing WWII after years of Modern/Futuristic games?  Partly due to the success of Battlefield 1, and partly due to the seemingly poor reception of Infinite Warfare.  Hell, Bioware even added the ability to save 4 "favorite" profiles based on suggestions and outcry made on this very forum.  Then there's the "#makejaalbi" campaign, which ultimately worked and was another example of the audience being directly responsible for a game development decision.  I mean, it's pretty irrefutable to say that the audience is a huge factor in these decisions.  

Dude, I like some things in my mouth. Bacon. Donuts. Diet Coke.

What I DON'T like in my mouth are other people's words. Read what I ACTUALLY said and don't put your dirty words in my mouth. I don't know where they've been.
