Ahh, well there it is, the only conspiracy here is the mysterious case of the short fucking memory.[/quote]

This is the excerpt which proves more or less that OP is missing the point; comically so. I would have thought this was bad satire if it had been linked from Reddit or an equally shitty site.

"Pandering" is when a character needs to be black, female, or demi-poly-quasi-cashewsexual because a minimum quota needs to be met in each of the respective demographics of race, sex, and gender. This is when the developers think they're widening their target audience by giving a larger number of people fair "representation" in the game; that is, characters with whom the audience can personally identify. It's stupid as hell that you'd need a character's race and sexuality to match yours in order for you to identify with his struggles, but whatever, that's the world we live in.

There is incontrovertible evidence that the [i]Andromeda[/i] team pandered to certain demographics of people.

But it's not "pandering" if a character just [i]happens[/i] to be Black or gay, and if he has more traits to define his personality than just being from a certain demographic. So even though [i]ME1[/i] still has bad writing and is a game for poopooheads overall, no one is being hypocritical for "forgetting" the Black and butch-lesbo characters in the first game, while lambasting [i]Andromeda[/i] for seemingly doing the same thing. The fact that you can't see the difference, [@Dynamo Frokane], proves that you're approaching this debate at a laughably superficial level.
