I'm confused how did you get SJW from any of that? If anything the person is saying Bro Culture is fault, and that is pretty far from SJW. 

That doesn't lineup with how the game was being presented - Bioware using Fem Ryder as the face of the game or making the characters "unsexy" but only the female characters or with their developer hating white people.

You do realize that ONE person who holds that view doesn't have sway over an entire project right? Let's put some realism back into this thread instead of taking grand leaps over one person people don't like.

Everything else is complete speculation on your part, so unless you can back it up with facts I wouldn't pass that assessment off as if it common knowledge.

So does that make them not sexist when the used male sheppard as the face instead of the better voice acted female sheppard and made the males unsexy in the original series, or am I missing some wonderful agenda with this mass effect. 

Again the game has issues, but I think it has nothing to do with imaginary agendas.

One of the head directors of the game is anti white, you don't have lighter skin tones in the character creation screen, and having random trans people placed in the game. 

 

Those things definetely give the impression of "sjw diversity".

Also when it comes to the original post the studio that did Andromeda is a new studio and not the original bioware team, so i don't know if those claims apply. 

I saw the game have a white character in the creation screen, I think you are drawing straws to make weak arguements. 

Also so one guy in a team is racist, so that makes him SJW? How does that work. Do not think people know what Alternate Right and Social Justice means anymore. 

The racist developer explicitly tagged and thanked the director of Bioware Montreal for said supporting him in what he speaks about.

He thanked the director of Bioware Montreal for supporting him and letting him speak his thoughts on Twitter. The fact remains that Bioware was allowing him to be their face. That's a fact.

The sjws have finally ruined something we love.

Seriously? Not everything is political drivel.

Maybe next year all will be forgiven with the main studio in Edmonton pushes the new IP. I for one am excited for what's to come and just trying to keep my head up :)


I think everyone should try and be a little optimistic before jumping on the whole doom and gloom of BioWare's days are over.

I think a new I.P would be great. The issue with releasing a next-gen sequel of anything is that it inevitably gets compared to the last gen releases... And that's a high act to follow even if you had a fully intact original Team.

With a new I.P it won't be compared with anything else. Just hopefully they give it the appropriate amount of development time... They are working with a good platform (Frostbite) which they now have experience with, so no excuses.

Anti-white rhetoric tends to be the domain of conservatives. So I am not sure how you lumped that in with Social Justic Warriors, that would go against allot of what they stand for.

Ass Effect has always prided itself on LGBTQI diversity.

So are you going to ignore when he attacked fellow bioware employees that are white? Also does that make the other team members he has also SJW and Racist, or am I again missing the agenda of Bioware because of one employee bad habits are horid.

The males were unsexy in the original trilogy? Male Shep was based on a model and looked like him. Same thing with Male Ryder and Female Ryder with the different that Fem Ryder looks nothing like the pretty model it was based on. I'd very much like to know how that could happen without some form of agenda stating that Fem Ryder should not look good.

And what does Twitter have to do with a game's development, a game where he was a gameplay designer among hundreds of people working on a game, have to do with what you were saying earlier?

Yeah we get it, the guy was a prick. Doesn't mean we have to take his personal views and apply them to the entire team or areas where he probably didn't even have that much influence.

I found them to be as attractive as what you are describing with the females (key word you said female characters, not just Sarah Ryder). It possibly could not be that this game is rushed mess, not it has to be an agenda. Also they walk strangely, clearly an agenda of SJW to push walking of different nature, since they don't walk like us normal people.

What did he say about his fellow employees?

And I'm not saying all the employees are SJWs - I don't doubt that not everyone agrees with the directives coming from up top but the company's direction is agenda-driven.
