Because we know the disk version that isn't patched had a different default face for Sara. I've heard many conflicting reports about that Sara. I doubt she was custom since she had exactly the same moles. If she is though, can someone please tell me how to recreate her? I was about to post stuff about this: (in spoilers because some HZD stuff too)
Compare and contrast:
I'm at that MEA trans woman screenshot... I've never known a trans person to immediately disclose their trans status and birth name to someone they've literally just met. I hated being referred to as Stephan so much, I decided to go to another galaxy... where I will introduce myself as Stephan.Goddammit, Bioware. /Zaeed

At the same time, I saw plenty of criticism about the way he was basically a tool for exposition. "Hello, I'm Krem, yes, I'm trans, this is what trans means, some people don't like trans people, are you one of them?" Obviously I'm paraphrasing. Gaider went on to say that they wouldn't do it in the same way if they had to do it over. It's very difficult, because obviously representation matters, and it was great to have Krem there. This was the first time they've tried this (excluding Serendipity, and of course Mae is only in the comics so far), and to their credit they did ask trans people for advice before hand. But again we have a trans character, rather than a character who just happens to be trans. I admit I don't envy the writers who do want to get this all right. It's difficult. True and I do remember some of that from the old BSN. I dunno maybe it's just me, but even after it is revealed(which I recall Bull did not Krem himself) I felt like Krem didn't bring it up unless you specifically asked. I'm not trans however so I don't really wanna speak on how those who are perceived him. It comes up multiple times in preachy banters and such as well. Krem COULD have been great but they just didn't know when to fucking quit. That's why it was so frustrating. Like, 'we got it. Can we just learn something ELSE about him now? He seems cool.'

I can't see it. A dev confirmed straigh Jaal? By proxy yes. A Gamespot reviewer thought you could romance Jaal as a dude, I called his out on it, he contacted one of the devs since he's chummy with them, said nameless dev finally said Jaal is straight. Even better is apparently the angara has a "unique interpretation" or some such shit about gender, but bi Jaal didn't happen. Holy fuck the level of bullshit is reaching critical mass. It's like Jack being bi but not being a bi romance option all the fuck over again. I'm honestly just fucking entertained at this point by the dev team's complete and total ineptitude. Someone needs to get their story straight. But nope, we get to sit and spin and get heresay until midnight my time. Quick reminder guys. We have 5 hours until the game launches for the US. Once again, unless it's to confirm Jaal, please keep any story details in tags. Talking about general personality traits is fine, but any big reveals about the romance need to stay in spoiler tags. Thanks.

Possible explanation for the datamine then: The lack of genderlock with Jaal may have been a programming oversight. Jaal was meant to be locked out for Scott, but since somehow that code got missed, Jaal never turns down Scott, but the flirt option doesn't appear because the lines of dialog or code that would allow for flirting don't exist. Jaal was never MEANT to be bi in the first place? Let's just lie down and indoctrinate ourselves that Jaal was bi at some point because ME ppl are not that stupid right? (wink yes, bi bi bi bi bi.

So this is it huh? We get, what, 13 minutes total of M/M romance, between both Gil and Reyes? I tried so hard to believe in Bioware, but this let me down.
This is shit. I repeat. This. Is.
Shit.

But yes, it would mean we basically baited ourselves.

So was the drama over romance ever this bad in the past games, or is this a special kind of terrible due to the planets aligning? The planets being the months of teasing without shutting anything down, the laundry list of 'don't gross out the straight guys' design trends (unintentional or not), and now potentially even a bug giving people even more false hope?
I'm seriously curious if past drama had anything on this, or was worse?

Things we need to talk to them about (if they'll even listen): 1. Their claims of gay guys smooching aliens 2. Their claims of equal content between crew and squad romances 3. Why mlm are only restricted to 2 choices and both not in the squad 4. Marketing 5. Idk anymore this game is dead to me they are dead to me

On the bright side, thanks to Andromeda the ME3 endings won't matter anymore. Mission accomplished, I guess? At this point I'm starting to assume they spent millions of dollars on ridiculously bugged, short and partially cut game only to get rid of ME3 endings drama. Just because I can't see anything "new, awesome and looking bright for ME franchise future" in this game. Only attempts to run from the MW with any methods not even caring if their content makes sense. I'm not talking about plot overall, haven't seen the ending yet. More like "angara turning from cautios, alien and almost-hostile to considering you a nice human who can run errands" in a matter of 2 minutes sort of things. Possible explanation for the datamine then: The lack of genderlock with Jaal may have been a programming oversight. Jaal was meant to be locked out for Scott, but since somehow that code got missed, Jaal never turns down Scott, but the flirt option doesn't appear because the lines of dialog or code that would allow for flirting don't exist. Jaal was never MEANT to be bi in the first place? Judging from code it looks more like "Jaal was bi, then straight and they somehow forgot to remove some bugged shit while actually editing stuff via toc nobody can make sense of". He has both genders in sb, not "none" or "sara only".

This may be little consolation to Jaal fans, but FluffyNinjaLlama (my romance go - to for Mass Effect) has posted a couple videos with flirting. As follows. My apologies if this has been posted already. MOD EDIT: Sorry about this, but videos must be kept in spoilers as well.
