I'll never know (and I don't want to) why people think "sexuality" when they see brood mothers or banshees. Because bewbs. It's really that simple.

I'm not going to say it's sexuality, per say, but ME3 does have a good ol' taste of the favorites. Not much talk surrounds the horror of the Marauders, or the Brutes, or the Cannibals. There's a lot of talk about husks in the series but it's pretty dispassionate. I actually think that Liara reacts in a very natural way to the Banshee reveal, like any person would when they see what their people are being turned into. All the characters talking about the Banshees do, really. But when you compare that reaction to the reaction of Turians or Batarians (let's not even mention the Vorcha) being Reaper-fied, it's kind of clear the game wants you to reaaaally feel sorry for the Asari. This is the sort of thing which makes me wonder if some aspects of ME3 are simply about different writers having different approaches, rather than any overall vision. Some sequences really are all-in on the emotional manipulation, and others don't hit that so hard.

I'm betting that's the case.

Bull is a fine strong ox. Great for breaking things. A good combat companion.
Lacks the fine motor skills for making a latte, imo.

David Michael Kinne @mewd462Developer: In this game, you can be the BAD GUY. Me: Wow! Cool! Me: *Spares and forgives enemies, refuses to steal, selects friendliest dialogue options* Developer: This is supposed to be escapist fantasy about violating societal norms. Me: I am a nice villain John Ebenger @ebengerjohnYup. Something like 92% of Mass Effect players were Paragon. And we put a lot of work in to the Renegade content too James Berg @jamesbergcanadaNot sure about live data, but in DA:I playtesting, way more players sided with the Mages than the Templars. Some rough moments for players with inter-party decisions though!

Ryan Benno @bryanrenno Video games are great because somewhere right now there are artists in a meeting room debating whether to have a character with nipples, what possible options to explore varying nipple looks, and how out of scope/tone are nipples.
David Gaider @davidgaider "Bug report: the Brood Mother's nipples are too confronting."

Jeff Hamilton @jeffahamilton Alright #gamedev - what's your best bug story?
Tell me about the one that was found late, or that almost shipped, or that nobody could figure out until you took 3 red bulls and were staring at it til 4 am the night before cert. Every game has bugs - let's hear the best ones!
seb hanlon @hanlsp I liked the one where the Mabari that Cullen is petting in the courtyard at the Winter Palace (in Trespasser) somehow got stuck animating in flat circles on the ground around Cullen

My guess is that the devs that feed the Twitter are employees that have time on their hands. Also, I believe this is encouraged by management. I guess it's a way for Bio to tell the world "I can't say anything but we are alive and well".
I still prefer dev diaries. At least, they are meaningful / humorous.

If I am in a company that doesn't encourage employees having free time and dictate them to satisfy the demands of the random folks that I don't really care about, I would resign as soon as possible.
