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

Sex and gender are not the same thing, so even a species with only one sex can have a concept of different genders.

Take for example the German language, words have a gender but obviously no sex, (e.g Löffel(spoon) is male, Gabel(fork) is female and Messer(knife) is neutral), similary it can be perfectly possible that the Asari use different pronouns amongst themselves to reflect things like life-stages, whether the Asari already gave birth, .... .

However considering the lore of the past three games all of these different pronouns would likely be translated into she for English.

But I really don´t understand why people make such a fuss about this, the Asari suffered why larger retcons between ME2 and ME3, which even created plotholes in ME3.

Where the gender concept comes though if not sex though? I don't think it's possible that concept of male gender could have born in society where "male" doesn't exist.

Asari can use different pronouns sure expect that they haven't this far really, but even if they did it wouldn't have to do with male gender.

Every noun has a gender, and there is no sense or system in the distribution; so the gender of each must be learned separately and by heart.  There is no other way.  To do this one has to have a memory like a memorandum-book.  In German, a young lady has no sex, while a turnip has.  Think what overwrought reverence that shows for the turnip, and what callous disrespect for the girl.  See how it looks in print -- I translate this from a conversation in one of the best of the German Sunday-school books:



"Gretchen:

'Wilhelm, where is the turnip?'

Wilhelm:

'She has gone to the kitchen.'

Gretchen:

'Where is the accomplished and beautiful English maiden?'

Wilhelm:

'It has gone to the opera.'"

To continue with the German genders: a tree is male, its buds are female, its leaves are neuter; horses are sexless, dogs are male, cats are female -- tomcats included, of course; a person's mouth, neck, bosom, elbows, fingers, nails, feet, and body are of the male sex, and his head is male or neuter according to the word selected to signify it, and not according to the sex of the individual who wears it -- for in Germany all the women either male heads or sexless ones; a person's nose, lips, shoulders, breast, hands, and toes are of the female sex; and his hair, ears, eyes, chin, legs, knees, heart, and conscience haven't any sex at all.  The inventor of the language probably got what he knew about a conscience from hearsay.

Mark Twain: The Awful German Language

just because you can't see the politics doesn't mean it's not there. For one thing all art reflects the politics of the creators, either consciously or unconsciously and in the specific case of cdpr it's most defiantly there you are either blind to it or intentionally blind to it, the novels for which the game is based were influenced by eastern European politics and apart from that, one clear theme off the top of my head is the environmental politics of mankind's encroachment on the natural world.
Politics are very much in their games, as they are with all games that have any narrative, you simply choose not to see it.

Actually Witcher 3 is comparative a lot more feminist than Witcher 2. It has a hot elf you save but then she goes "What, want me to spread my legs for you? I don't needed saving!" and things like that. The difference is that Inquisition sugarcoats and forces its feminism and LGBTQ justice by making it a natural part of the world whereas Witcher shows the problems AS they exist, such as the fact that there is still some male dominance left in certain parts of the world and Witcher being sorta medieval and a historic fantasy setting it's even more prominent, so it deals with those issues as it is. You also get to make Ciri lesbian if you want her to be that but again, it doesn't force it in left and right like propaganda, it's just there sometimes arising naturally.

Hmmm...

In ME2, they expanded the lore by introducing a krogan shaman and rite of passage.
We also learned that krogan females and children lived separate from the males, in their own clans.
We overheard a krogan warrior talking about a child he believed to be his, and wishing for more visitation.
What we saw of Tuchanka was mostly rubble.

In ME3, we learned that female clans also had shaman, and that krogan had art and culture in their past.

^^These things were simply expansions of lore, more information about a culture we'd known since ME1.

In MEA, krogan are no longer separated by sex, and appear to be re-creating themselves as a more balanced social group that I assume will be organized into nuclear families.
We also learn that Drack raised Kesh, which kind of flies in the face of what we learned about krogan culture in ME2. Of course, that is Clan Nakmor and our ME2 experience was with Clan Urdnot - yet Urdnot was uniting the other clans.

The krogan who joined the Ai are redefining their social structure.
Salarians, too, are doing things quite differently.  I read through some of MEA's codex last night, and it seems it was quite a challenge to extricate some salarian females from the social / political structure on Sur'Kesh.

We don't have enough information about this gender pronoun thing with the asari to draw any conclusions.  It's possible that the asari had individual pronoun preferences all along, or they may be redefining themselves and their culture as other species are.

It's never easy to discuss gender, because it means different things to different people, in different languages, and in different contexts.  Sometimes it refers to biological sex (male, female, intersexed, hermaphrodite), sometimes traits or behaviors (masculine, feminine, androgynous), sometimes some sort of personal identity.

What we're seeing with the asari could be nothing more than a desire to clarify their individual role in reproduction.  A father might prefer male pronouns, a mother female, and someone who has done both or neither neutral.  I notice that conversation occurs at the Cultural Center, and it might just be how they are choosing to present themselves to new aliens they meet in Andromeda.

Because ME1 had talented writers, MEA did not... in the end it all comes down to the pesky meritocracy, if current day BW want's to acknowledge it or not. Same with the Witcher. Nobody probably remembers "their" gay character. The hunter that helped Geralt track down the Griffon? Just as small and inconsequential a scene as that trans character in MEA, but handled a whole lot better.

Finally watched the video.  Honestly if this wasn't BW I would wonder if it wasn't meant to mock the whole issue of 'proper pro-noun usage'.  An entire species of females wanting to use male or neutral identifiers, needing to prepare an entire document to list all of the Angaran pro-nouns, the whole premise of the conversation is just straight up ridiculous. 

Now of course we know BW would never do that, in fact I fully believe someone at BW thought that exchange made perfect sense.  From anyone else though it could easily be interpreted otherwise.

So you'd rather they discuss table settings?  Whether wedding invitations should be engraved?  Some other points of etiquette / social protocol or other language / communication tips?

If I were meeting a monogendered species for the first time, I'd probably want to know more about that, how they see themselves, and how they'd like to be addressed.

The angaran asking the question was trying to learn about them.

Y'all are making far too much of this.

Can you kindly point out where the asari unanimously proclaimed their ubiquitous acceptance of genderized pronouns?

I apparently missed that part.

It's been asked before, but never answered.

Since you're not going to actually answer it either, this conversation isn't going anywhere useful.
