How about the shirtless Jacob or video of him doing situps(DLC shadowbroker)?? What about James Vega, jarhead extreme, but with muscles out to there, always flexing and showing off??
How about EVERY male hero having a 6pk abs, and WIDE shoulders, narrow waists, and tight butts that less than 5% of the men will ever have?? Yet, when we hear about over sexualization and objectification it is ALWAYS only about women, and how they look.
Hate to break it, but humans are a sexual species....it is biological to want to procreate and having issues with this is stupid, and most times caused either by jealousy, or feeling of inadequacy. I personally want the characters in my games(and movies) to be larger than life, more perfect than possible and more beautiful than 99% of the world....if I wanted mundane and ordinary, I will go talk to my neighbors or co-workers. I want the escape.
They use the excuse calling it a "power fantasy" from what I have read about this same topic talking about guys whatever the * that means.
I completely agree with both of you. Especially with what's been going on with not only games but movies as well. At some point this biased one sided censorship all has to stop I am sure I am not the only one absolutely fed up with our beloved franchises each and every one of them being absolutely trashed by all this, which the majority never asked for. On top of the points mcsupersport pointed out that sex appeal is a perfectly NORMAL thing. Going to escape for a bit to enjoy a good fantasy is perfectly fine, and that was ME's strong point covered from all angles (thinking of Jack). The original creators of ME intended on it being shot the way it was and thats the way that I wanted to experience it again without being bothered by all these weird nonsensical changes.
By the way despite all that sex appeal I was Liara all the way 😉. Hoping we get Liara back in the next ME haha.

Ultimately there should be no alterations or censorship but dammit if Bioware insists on altering it then give us the option to choose! Let us decide what we want to censor and let others experience it the way they want, but stop deciding for us!
