one time in this forum about mass effect ppl were talking about if you dated the human option in ME1 and someone else in ME2 (the same romance isn't an option because they weren't in the crew in second game), your ME1 romance will bring it up when they join the party in ME3.
people were saying how, it's sexist that if you pick male protagonist, you have some option to tell your love interest off because they weren't there for you in ME2 and were actually pretty against you and you shouldn't have had to wait for them like that. But if you pick the female protagonist, you either didn't have that conversation option at all, or it was more limited (i forget cause i never played ME3). Basically, both genders are supposed to be the same character, and yet the man gets to justify his 'cheating' while the woman does not.
So we were saying how that was yeah, pretty fair and definitely a little sexist. Then this person comes on spouting about how we were being so mean to the poor writers and how we needed "real" evidence about the writer as an actual person to "convict" him of being sexist, otherwise we were just baselessly pointing fingers and apparently accusing someone of sexism with reasonable but not absolute certainty is far worse than a person actually being so.
supposedly, the reason that this piece of writing can't be proven as sexist is because we don't know every detail of how it came to be. One of this person's suggested reasonings was literally "the female voice actor was having a bad day and couldn't record her lines" like yikes this person was reaching far.
