Thanks to Lightness Races In Orbit, I was reminded of a video that outlines the sexism here. Why are aliens without breasts assumed to be male? There's no reason for the idea of breasts being a sign of alien femininity, the axioms that underlie it are faulty for an entirely different evolutionary tree from our own. There's no need to change the existing Turian designs to do so. His comment makes me wonder why they didn't make all Turians female instead. We usually try to avoid the females because what do you do with a female Turian? Do you give her breasts? What do you do? Do you put lipstick on her? There’s actually some of the concept artists will draw lipstick on the male one and they’ll say “Hey, it’s done” and we’ll go “No, can you take this serious?” There's a great blog on the subject here where Mass Effect 3's art director comments on an issue along these lines: You have a good point, that when there isn't a person in a suit, there's no reason to actually put breasts on aliens, but game makers feel a need to pander to themselves, and the audience.
