So, BW apologized for throwaway transgender stuff. Can we make them reconsider "gender pronouns" par

I think it's plausible that they might observe other sexually reproductive specie, create a concept of gender and apply it to themselves. Just a thought

Fact 1. In the game you can hear an Angaran  diplomat engaging in a pretty embarassing exchange about how to address an Asari (with male or female pronouns).

Fact 2. The whole "use X Y pronouns when speaking to me" makes the english-speaking internet users look like idiots. Seriously, when I squat in my tracksuit in front of my potato-powered machine turn my head for a while and look at my family that usually is outside playing football with a half-rotten cabbage inbetween singing folk songs I just load up twitter or tumblr and look for an american account that says sth like "pronouns: them/xer/bazzir" and suddenly I feel like sure, I breathe in cancer from burning asbestos and coal every day but at least I'm not THAT retarded.

Fact 3. In Mass Effect aliens communicate with each other by using their own native language and the universal translator makes it sound as a language comprehended by the user.

Fact 4. Asari society, being single-gendered, would have no incentive to develop female/male pronouns before making it to space travel. Therefore, when you'd address an Asari in any language that has them, the Asari in question would hear a sentence in Asari language - so, in a language WITHOUT the pronoun, or with a genderless one.

In other words, the whole speech of an Asari lecturing an Angaran on "preferred pronouns" of an Asari has severe logical consequences. It doesn't make sense, because Asari shouldn't hear pronouns in the first place, even if Angaran language has them. So, in order to be appealing to probably the most embarassing part of modern anglo-saxon society the game decides the whole concept of translator should be thrown under the bus and doesn't need to follow basic logic of linguistic development of single-gendered omni-coital species.

Are you with me, BSN? I want ME universe to make sense again. I'm not suggesting the exchange should be cut from the game; just don't make an Asari say it. Have an, I don't know, a  confused Krogan do it. Hell, have Ryder talk with this Angaran and correct pronouns, demanding the Angaran to use those usually associated with attack helicopters. I'm glad that BioWare can address concerns of transgender community that wasn't satisfied with an NPC that left all the Milky Way bigots along with his/her penis behind a wall of 600 years of cryosleep. I think that this constitutes a stunning number of ~0.5% players. Now, what about some pandering to the "I want the universe to make sense" community? I think I deserve that!

Unfortunately it seems that those 0.5% of players and issues surrounding them are more important than the rest of us, or general game issues that affect everyone. Welcome to the world we live in.
Otherwise I feel with you. Pour me some ryncol while we are at it.

And yet she clearly said "father". Even made the comment about not being the mother. That's a helluva lot of mistranslation.

It's proving that Asari understand the usage of pronouns. I thought that'd be clear.

That contradicts the codex however. The codex entry on them outright states they're monogendered and female.

The prefix mono means one or single, like in the words monocle (a single corrective lens for the eye) or monogamy (a committed sexual relationship to one person), or monopoly (a market controlled by a single company). Monogendered would mean single gender, rather than no gender, and the game tells us that gender is female.
