I just want sexually attractive female characters too, like Miranda Lawson and Ashley Williams from Mass Effect, Widowmaker from Overwatch and Sindel from Mortal Kombat 11
Those characters aren't going away, though. They're adjusting a camera angle to fix tonal dissonance. Miranda's butt will not shrink in size, or anything like that. In fact, the texture definition will be higher than ever before!
@Fred_vdpI WANT focus on female butts. Why it's acceptable for fully naked male characters but taboo for female characters?!

@instasamka95 I think people are deliberately misinterpreting what has been said because they are bored and need something to be outraged over. Closeups of butts are fine, whether they are a man or a woman's butt. Hell, I'll take a hanar's butt.
The butt isn't the issue. It's secondary. The entire point that was made in the original interview was that the Mass Effect trilogy had a few shots that weren't done very well and they're touching that up to be better. The Miranda scene was given as an example because a closeup of a character's butt in a scene where she expresses anxiety over the safety of her sister is just very nonsensical framing. That's why it has become a meme and that's why people laughed at a scene that was meant to be very serious. If people think a serious scene is funny, then it's a poorly directed scene. I think people are choosing not to understand this.
In the interview, the question that was asked was why the camera was lingering on Miranda's butt in this particular scene. Can anyone actually and truthfully answer that question in a way that could convince any reasonable person that changing this shot would not be an improvement?

@instasamka95 Is there a source from BioWare that backs that up? Or are you just having a laugh?
I swear, I can't tell the difference between genuine comments and satire in this thread.

Purely out of curiosity, if they moved the butt shot scene to the conversation where miranda says "im genetically engineered to be perfect" *switch to butt cam while shephard makes dialogue choice* would that fit for you? haha

I don't think it would be necessary, but that would fit with the tone of the scene.
