I never mentioned anything about actual sex/intercourse, I was only speaking of the fact that the desire demons in the game look female.
seeing how much people even out of universe focus on boobs not the fact it's trying to possess and/or kill you I say it's well chosen.
oh and just to be clear I'm on the pro male desire demon side too, I just get annoyed when any thing that could possible offend someone is part of some evil conspiracy to keep x group down. it's a personality flaw.
Has this been discussed before? I'm getting Deja Vu. :S Too lazy to find previous topic
Wonder why tumblr shows his post as 2 weeks ago when it's more like 2 months. hmm

No one is asserting that a lack of male desire demons is "keeping" anyone down. I was simply pointing out the inherit sexism in the default appearance for an evil demon who's power revolves around lust and sex happens to look female.

Agreed...seems trivial for an enemy will most likely hardly ever face for one or two encounters. But of course what I see as trivial for twenty people it is a even larger issue than if the game play is good...So for the sake of ensuring all if fair..if Bioware can spare the time or assets then by all mean.s

I agree but they pretty much said at leas for this go around they can't . then again I give it 50/50 chance just because I said that, we'll find out thats one of the thing they did with the extra time. then again I have issues
My eyes!!! what sane man or woman would desire such a thing?!

but you can chalk that up to lust and sex being one of the most basic desires that most people experience, Desire Demons also fulfill other desires like that one demon in the ferelden circle that fulfills a templar's desire for a family.
It would be nice. I understand that the argument of limited resources, but someone, somewhere decided that those limited resources would be used to make the current model rather than the male-looking one, and that decision has held for two games now. And that decision probably had to do with outmoded stereotypes of the demographic of gamers 
I have high hopes for Imshael in this game, who's described as a handsome and well-dressed male-looking Desire Demon (or as he puts it "spirit of choice.") But I'm guessing models are limited here as well.

So, in that case , the inherit sexism in the default appearance for an evil demons who's power revolve around sloth, rage or pride happens to look male?
In my mind David Gaider has pretty much had the last word on the topic, I don't really know what else you can ask for than that. This is in no way analogous to Ubisoft. In the words of the late Saemus Dumar, some people try very hard to be offended.

Whatever floats people's boat, right?

A problem BSN deals with on a daily basis.
It should be noted there seems to be a general impoverishment of demon-models in general too, which is a bit odd. Most species are more diverse. There's never been a unique model distinguishing sloth demons, shades, and hunger demons, for example. The two kinds of pride demons are pallet swaps.
After origins, the Darkwspawn are relegated to supporting cast, yet they got a full redesign for DA2. Demons moved up to the central role for non-human baddies, but they stayed with the same models. The DLC added tons of new models for other beasts, but none for demons.
It costs resources that the development team would rather spend on other things.
Yeah, boobies.

I don't think any of the demons look male. Rage and Sloth are just blobs that vaguely look like the WoW voidwalker.
I just want a desire demon that actually has a chance to seduce me. So, yes, "male" desire demons would be nice. It would be a large undertaking though. New model, new animation probably, a male desire demon grasping imaginary breasts (i.e. rubbing air sensually) while he talks would be... disturbing.
EDIT: And they must have nipple clamps. If the females have em, males should to.

*Raises hand*
The face is kinda blah, but the body! 
I like them op but i think Bioware will have a problem distinguishing what the player desires to see.
The desire demon should automatically take the shape of preference from the PC’s mind and that has nothing to do if you are female or male so how are the developers to know what the PC likes?
Honestly, if they actually did this, I'd like a 50/50 split on voiced desire demons.

Desire demons should look like people you flirted with.

So in character creation they should have a Orientation tab then?
Jesus wept. I'm absolutely sure that makes DAI a better game. Not good story, memorable characters, excellent and complex combat, different and interesting quests.

What if you flirt with everyone though?
That would send the code into new levels of not working. If of course they could ever make it so that it worked in the first place.

David Gaider may be a dev, but he does not have the last word on anything. He may have significant input, but that doesn't mean a thing if: the consumers don't like it and bit**loud enough, (Ala ME3 endings) then they have to change it.
