-When i think asari, i dont think man or woman...i think masculine and feminine.
Really? I thought a woman was defined as one having the carrier reproductive organs? I mean technically asari don't have genders. Yet they are not asexual. By definition in order for an asari to be asexual is would not need another organism. Asari need a separate genetic code to use as the "father" to reproduce. This make them a sexually reproducing species.
It is widely debatable due to the fact that there are no male asari. Yet asari were clearly made to resemble woman. They have an hourglass figure, and unless told otherwise I assume their give birth through their vaginas.
I believe a comparison is needed for this. In the real world there exists a species of lizard that reproduces without a male counterpart. There are no men in their species. Only female. The male gene shrunk, as the human one is now, and there were simply no men left to reproduce. The females underwent a mutation thought allows them to clone a daughter. They have "fake" sex with another lizard, and their bodies allow them to fertilize their egg.
Scientists still consider them females even though their is no male counterpart.
Asari seem to share qualities with mammals. They care for their young, have mammary glands, and I assume they give live birth. Doesn't them make them a "female." If Bioware came out and said asari used to have males, but they died out. It would not be a hard retcon since it is scientifically possible.
"Recently the asari made a monumental discovery while excavating their planet. A male asari corpse was found! Apparently asari once possessed a Y chromosome. It was discovered while examining a genetic sample from the corpse that it is did not have any of the biotic qualities that all asari have. The asari speculate that the male half of their species may have died out when element zero was first introduced to their planet. This would mean that all asari today are survivors of a premature element zero exposure. How this happened is still up to debate."
I'm not saying add male asari. Just that it can be explained how a species can be FEMALE and reproduce. I consider asari female, because they possess all the qualities of a female mammal.
This was all off-topic, but I wanted to add something to the "asari debate".
The whole thing about heterosexual Shepard is just weird to me. I don't get why in an RPG anyone would want any aspect of their character predetermined as far as personality go. It's just another part of freedom. I mean I get that they chose the straight white male as the poster child, but I thought Bioware would want their Hero to be a bit more ambiguous.
Personally I think a few homosexual romance options wouldn't kill anyone. Shepard should be who we want him to be.
Also I think the next Mass Effect character should be a Black poster child.
Actually I suddenly want to play as an Asian.
