Are the rumors actually true about Miranda?
I preordered on steam and when i opened the forums up i see tons of threads saying they changed cut scenes of her azz so it doesn't show it? IS this true? That would be a shame because i really don...

Where did you hear this? I hope they dont change any cutscenes in any of the games tbh. Improve the graphics but if they changing the scenes it would suck :/

‘I do think a lot of things have evolved since [the original games] but I don’t know if I would say we were ultra-concerned about it or anything like that, but there were considerations’, admits Walters. ‘Kevin actually called out some camera cuts that were just… why was that focusing on Miranda’s butt? So in some cases we said, ‘Okay, we can make a change there’. But ultimately, to change an entire character model or something like that wasn’t really… it was a decision that was made as part of many creative decisions and just showing it at the best possible fidelity that we could going forward is really the choice for all of the art that we had.‘

The Mass Effect series has a whole bunch of poorly framed shots and jarring jump cuts, many of those not butt related! I certainly hope that they're cleaning some of that up. Just because they're using that specific Miranda shot as an example (because it's well known and has become something of a meme), people have jumped to the conclusion that they're changing it because BioWare doesn't like butts, and not the more logical assumption that they're changing it because focusing (and lingering) on a character's butt is a very strange choice in a scene where they're going for a very serious tone. It has become a meme exactly because of how out of place it is.
People yelling "censorship" have missed the point. They also don't know what censorship means.

This is true but if we allow them to change this now who knows what they will do later maybe cut an entire character out or change clothing.

Moral censorship is the removal of materials that are obscene or otherwise considered morally questionable. Pornography, for example, is often censored under this rationaleCorporate censorship is the process by which editors in corporate media outlets intervene to disrupt the publishing of information that portrays their business or business partners in a negative light,or intervene to prevent alternate offers from reaching public exposure.
i would argue both of these technically apply a butt can be sexual and over sexualized to pornographic value and Bioware or EA might not want that public view hence why they remove it
