I love how people have been saying this since 1984

To be honest, that is pretty fair. Light complexions aren't going anyway in the future, nor should they. I never had the slightest interest in the series, but I wouldn't want to be a part of something which hopes for a future where no one has the same skin tone that I do.


In Mass Effect's future, everyone is mixed, therefore having the ghost white skin tones everyone wants is unrealistic. Not to mention you also can't make super dark characters either.

This is what happens when you try to be progressive; no matter what you do, somebody's going to be pissed off.

As much as people whine about Krem I think Dragon Age Inquisiton handled the same subject matter fine.

The difference is you care and try to appease the people who will always be pissed off.

Bioware are literally re-writing game dialogue because a character that only exists to pander didn't pander correctly.

Meanwhile Kojima just laughs at the people who whine that Quiet is as bad as rape.

This is what happens when a company tries to appeal to SJWs with their garbage products. They always fall under the most fire from the snowflakes.

I had no problem with how they handled Krem. He wasn't defined by his sexuality, and you had to prod him to get the info out. I have no idea how they handled the transexual character in Andromeda, but if they're apologizing and issuing rewrites, they handled it pretty poorly.

They did the same mistake baldur's gate made where you talk to them and they go

"HELLO! I came from there where they called me Eric but that wasn't me so I became Jane and then i came here nice to meet you!" bullshit.

IIRC, the "objectionable" NPC had one line about being trans and was involved in one boring task (so far; I'm up to the rebels' port). This seems like a lot of hullabaloo and apologizing over nothing.
