What is it about asari?

Well it's not like we choose our sexual preferences anyway. And it's not whatever asari do is a love potion. Just because you suddenly can be attracted to members of the species mean that you're falling in love with them all. Just see real life.


I certainly don't. I can't imagine I'd be more attractive to an elcor that they would be to me. That's my whole point really. Yet they find asari attractive, and they barely look more elcor than I do.

You have an exceedingly flexible definition of the word "suddenly". In that, on the one hand, you seem to be trying to sell the idea that mental roofies are virtually identical to organic, mutual affection; but on the other that argument never worked for any of those fratboys or controlling boyfriends before so, frankly, I'm not entirely sure where you're going with this.

Unless you're attempting to convince the board that you are a deviant with increasingly poor boundary issues in which case:

well done.

So obviously the only acceptable answer is that the asari are issuing nonstop subliminal messages to everyone they come across. Because the fact that asari are "exotic", long lived, not bound by many particularly strong cultural inhibitions regarding sexuality, have a massive media presence, or that they're capable of becoming pregnant off virtually anything certainly has nothing to do with it.

The phenomenon, whatever it is, is done unconsciously, unlike handing out the drugs you're describing. And my translator tells me that the "roofies" you mentioned leave their victim virtually incapacitated. While whatever make most of us find asari attractive do not. You can choose not to date someone.


It goes hand in hand with the phenomenon certainly, but I can't imagine that to be nearly enough for pachyderms to find asaroids romantically and/or sexually attractive or vice versa.

Your entire argument hinges on the idea that asari mentally recondition other organics to find them sexually attractive regardless of their preferences in the matter.

You are trying to peddle the idea of species wide date rape of the subconscious as being nigh indistinguishable both ethically and practically from genuine attraction.

Not only is this idea, to borrow a rather crude phrase, fucked up on virtually every conceivable level it is also a few shades off from near total retardation. Emblematic of a negative intelligence as it were. That is, your thesis is so fundamentally wrong that we are all now stupider for having read it and, indeed, the galaxy is now probably worse off for it having been brought into existence.

Firstly I imagine there are a great many elcor who will take some measure of offense at being wholly conflated with certain terrestrial mammals. Secondly I'm going to rephrase my argument in the literal simplest way that I can; both because of the recent mental trauma I have sustained in this thread and because I harbor some rather severe reservations that you could grasp it any other way.

Asari culture encourages asari to enter relationships with non asari.

Asari culture places negligible stigma on more open expressions of sexuality.

Asari media presence greatly reduces general cultural backlash against relationships with asari.

There is minimal risk of unwanted pregnancy in a relationship with an asari.

Feels good + they actively try to do it + society says it's okay + can't get her pregnant unless she wants to = why not

I'm not sure why you take it so personally, but I think we should let the matter rest as it seems to upsets you greatly.
I'll just indicate however that the word I used means for me a body type, like humanoid, and have no intended connection to earth animals.

Slaver you just spend a solid third of a thread attempting to argue that "no really asari brainwashing people to be attracted to them is a thing and completely alright". The moral high ground really doesn't suit you.

I can't directly speak to the elcor point of view (I mean, I could, having shared it via melding, but that's anecdotal evidence, even if I have anecdoted a lot more than most), but if you want proof that 'vice versa' certainly is the case, tune into the live feed Bliss will be running of the Sereuun Starblazers' one and only show this year, and pay particular attention to the audience: I've never seen anyone at a Starblazers show need any motivation other than the sight of the boys on stage to get mightily worked up. ;)

i think there's really not much magic involved here, Bintar. dunno, but i just can see the above equation at work each day. it's not that they'd have to be around or near you, it's people coming to see them in droves on their own.

there are people out there who have never been even remotely close to asari and fantasize about them. unless there's hidden secret messages in all the holo programs, how would that work if they'd have to fondle your brain for that?

...

Why have you neglected to message me with details?

And as far as asari in general are concerned...I have no idea. They have a very beautiful quality to them that is alluring. Maybe there are pheromones involved? I have no idea, but they are a versatile species. It gives them opportunities the rest of us lack.

versatile

now that's a nice adjective:)

"Bimbotastic" has its charms too.
