Retcons or contradictions that you have noticed

As the title says, what are some retcons or outright contradictions that you noticed in this game, compared to the numbered trilogy and expanded universe? They can be small and minute and not-all-that-important, or major and lore-breaking.

For me, the one that stuck out is how the asari now have male terms and pronouns for themselves, despite being an all-female species with a language that has, up to this point, only had female signifiers, e.g. the stages of life of an asari are "maiden", "matron", and "matriarch", and asari children always being referred to as daughters. Introducing a male dynamic completely does away with what makes the asari interesting, that they are a monogendered species with a culture that reflects that. Aria in Mass Effect 2 even mentions that the reason she named Patriarch "Patriarch" is because the asari don't have a proper term for a male leader, because there are no male asari. Aria is in essence saying that Patriarch, as the previous leader of Omega before her, is nothing, he may as well not exist, he's so irrelevant.

Nothing about the asari beforehand supported the notion that they would even have any concept of males in their own culture, and Andromeda mentioning that there are now, for lack of a better term, transgender asari, just comes off as progressive pandering for good boy points.

By your logic "maiden", "matron" etc. could also be simply the closest analogue to asari words.  It doesn't necessarily mean that they consider themselves women. And Liara's "male" and "female" don't have any real meaning to us" reads more like asari being gender neutral species and not all-female species wich contradicts me1 codex. So again, i don't see any consistency in here.

What's this about a male Asari?? I haven't exactly done much in ME:A outside the main quest but I haven't heard anything about a male asari yet. Where is it mentioned?

I mean, WTF? It makes no sense

Actually they couldn't. If it had just been control and destroy, maybe. But they can't incorporate synthesis (which is what they wanted from the start anyway) and setting canon would be ten times worse than the stupidest bullshit they could come up with in Andromeda. This was the only way they could acceptably go "forward". And it could've made sense.

Speaking of, did it? People who've played the game, was the real reason for leaving the Reapers? Were parts of Sovereign used in construction of the arks? And while we're at it, can you finally call them out on the lack of mounted weapons? Mark spoilers if need be.

Nobody said it would have to be a direct sequel.

In fact, didn't they say that Andromeda wasn't a direct sequel to the trilogy?

Prequel? Concurrent side-quel?

Figures.
