You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

And yeah, there’s all the biological differences due to being dextro and the symbiotic relationship between Quarians and flowering plants and what not- my point is more societal and how the faces help make players see that connection.

Mass Effect blazing hot take. 🔥

Okay, not really, but it does seem to be unpopular:

Quarians having very human-like faces, and being human-like in general, aside from the differences in hand and leg structure, is thematically *great.*

They are a mirror to us, in ways good and bad.

Right!

It’s just a silly conversation that makes us consider differing standards and perceptions!

To Turians, Asari crests are their distinguishing feature. To Salarians it’s their skin texture. And to humans their face. Etc. Each seeing that trait as what make them similar.

“Asari control everyone’s minds to make them look…”

Stop! That’s not what that comedic conversation at the Nos Astra bachelor party was actually implying. It was a humorous look at how perspective can work in different ways.

We see Asari statues! Liara wears human armor with adjusted helmets!

It is 2010; people wrongly assume Asari are shapeshifters by misreading a conversation.

It is 2025; people wrongly assume Asari are shapeshifters by misreading a conversation.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla scenery shot in colour of green hills with blue/purple flowers and rock beds further one with some foliage and one lonely tree. Branches and leaves of a tree can be seen filling the top left corner of the frame. The sky is blue with wispy, white clouds. Sunlight illuminates part of the rock beds and slowly turns to shade the closer you look towards the camera.

Earth?

I get Earth?

lol

Photo of Earth:

You carry everyone's problems and responsibilities, often forgetting about yourself. You feel like it's your job to hold things together, and you rarely take a break.

Good morning, everyone! 😊

I hope you all have a truly excellent day, and I promise not to inundate your timeline with as many Mass Effect screenshots today. 😂

Liara stares out, taken aback by the Citadel’s sights, as a lens flare is in the top right.

"I remember... me."

(I'll stop posting screens for the night, but this quest was always central to my Shepards. It explains so much on why they push themselves, and what they see as their role in the galaxy.)

#MassEffectSpoilers

Talitha aims a pistol at Shepard, asking "S-Stop! What do you- What are you?"

Shepard replies: Shepard.

Shepard looks on with a calm but empathetic face.

Talitha cries, looking to her shoulder as she reflexively swings around her pistol.

Such a lovely moment.

And we have a *major* vibe shift my friends as it’s time for “I remember me.”
