The Asari are confusing..

Wow. Just... Wow.

Ok so...Umm... Where to start.

So Asari are all one gender. They aren't technically female, but they (mostly) use female pronouns. They have female reproductive organs because they give birth to live young who gestate inside their body and then need to exit that body through a birth canal and take nutrition via mammary glands.

They don't need "males" because they use a psychic bond with their "mate" to rearrange their "daughter's" DNA to create a unique being.

Well no.. But I'm interested to know why these blue space babes have such features with no sausage fests in town.

So why the fully functioning vagina then? Every feature humans have are there for a purpose. Imagine sex without that nice feelings.. You would never want it. So it has to have the feelings or nobody would do it unless they're making annoying brats. This peebee went full on orgasmy on me to the point where I had to leave the room. She's basically a human. I couldn't believe how human titty she was. So they have all the sexy time features, but no one to even bang them back home.

They reproduce through parthenogenesis. It's a natural form of asexual birth that comes from unfertilized eggs in some animals (including dome reptiles, amphibians, and rarely some bird species) with the result always being female.

They have breasts because I assume they still have to nurse their young. Breasts weren't originally developed to excite men- that's a societal thing that cropped up over the years. You go to a tribe in the jungle and the women are topless all the time and no one cares.

It's never been confirmed if they have the other lady bits or not... But if they do, I assume it's just used as a birth canal. They bear live young so the baby has to come from somewhere.

Nope, big fishes didn't do anything to them but I wish they had so they would make some sort of sense in-universe. And they had each other to have sex with. Blue, lesbian space-babes who can have sex with anybody. You know, to keep the basement dwellers happy.

I'm guessing they do have bits. Ryder confirmed this.. Unless he was having sex the asari way, through thoughts created by the blue space babe.

EDIT: Nevermind, after reading the full OP, I'm embarrassed to have posted in this thread, lol.

The asari are HARD SCI-FI that the great Drew Karpshynynyhynshyn single-handedly created, then later Chris L'Etoilette perfected, before Mac Walters, Manveer Heir and Bioware Austin came along with their emasculating SJW social engineering and completely ruined them for MEA. Casey Hudson ripped my flesh. Rzzzz!

SPACE MAGIC

Bioware wanted to appeal to the male gaze and came up with a species of blue space babes. They also wanted the protagonist of ME1 to be able to romance them. In order to make this plausible, they wrote some lore about them to anchor them in their fictional world, which was somewhat colorful but ultimately doesn't make any sense. I've wrote rants about that since 2008 since I want my fictional worlds to make sense, but of course the asari were there to stay.

The pertinent question to ask is: why do they look like human women (forget the head tentacles)? The answer was that they appear as an attractive member of their own species to all other species. I got no answer to the question of how exactly they manage that.

Clearly, the ultimate answer to questions about the asari, like so much else in the MEU, is Belisario's Maxim[/url]: don't examine this too closely.

Good thread.
