Man cram humanity and all of our "diversity". The setting already has us Earthlings as the undisputed ubermench of the entire universe. If you want to talk about under-represented minorities then I would look no farther than all the various 'alien' elements left by the wayside as the franchise has moved on.

Lots of men wanted Traynor. LOTS. And Jacob was supposed to be a viable option (just look at him), but his dialogue+femSheps interactions were just creepy, so he wasn't popular by choice. We don't know anything about Liam's romance-availability, so you can't even throw him in here yet. I found it hilarious that the black guy was the only one who cheats on Shepard. Way to go, Bioware. I am a straight white male player, yet have never (in roughly 40 playthroughs of the first 3 games) played a straight male character. I've got bad news for you.

Were Bioware to please each and everyone's sexual fetish, I would personally like to see plasticky brunette . But since that is not going to happen, I am Ok with just bland Caucasian females. And I think you should be Ok with that, too. Got ya covered, bro.

One thing that does bug me a bit about Mass Effect's diversity is where all the Chinese people are? Generally its a very western focused version of diversity. Captain Crunch is Chinese I believe. I am a straight white male player, yet have never (in roughly 40 playthroughs of the first 3 games) played a straight male character. I've got bad news for you. Jesus, this made me spit out my coffee

It's malignant, oh God... No? Ok, uhmmm, don't tell me... CW is cancelling Legends of Tomorrow, aren't they? Damn. I really liked the Mick Rory/Ray Palmer dynamic. Not that, huh? Ok, just tell me, how bad is it?

I have just the right picture to respond to you, but posting it will surely get me in trouble with the carebear mods. This is painful.

Bioware is Canadian, and their target public is North America and Europe - regions in which most people are white, and most beautiful and desirable females are white and usually blonde ones. Therefore I don't see any issue on having these type of women as the leading love interest for straight males. Blonde is not the most common hair color in either North America or most of Europe. Canada's cities are as diverse as those in the United States. What is or isn't desirable as far as physical appearance goes is entirely subjective, and varies from person to person. You may prefer blondes. That doesn't mean everyone does. The Systems Alliance does not just represent North America & Europe. I personally don't care what shade the LIs are one way or the other, I just don't think the points you raised work as an argument against Bioware including LIs who aren't white and blonde.

When the troll memes start to match the discussion points, this 'carebear mod' reckons we're about done here...
