You’re probably going to want to say a big Fuck You to the newest novel in the series, Deception.
For a list of innacuracies, check out this fan list of 50+ things you need to know about why this book is more than just bad. Other than the fact it’s destroying our canon plenty of the content is just downright offensive. Queer erasure. Fridging. ‘Growing out’ of autism.
WHAT CAN YOU DO: Check out the MassEffectWiki’s letter to Casey Hudson, found here. Send them your outrage. Tweet project lead Casey Hudson, who approved Deception for release. Ask for a change. Demand it - say it more eloquently than me. Tell them a person doesn’t just grow out of autism like an inconvenient tick. Tell them your biotics don’t work at ‘levels’, your ME-verse canon should remain intact, your quarians don’t breathe ammonia, for fuck’s sake. And most of all DON’T BUY THIS BOOK. BOMB THE AMAZON REVIEW. BOMB THE BARNES & NOBLE REVIEW. Tell them what you think. Fight back now. Get pissed. You should be.
((For any fan of Mass Effect, this and all the other links are pretty damn important. ))
actually,this may not be queer erasure at all. Asari are attractive to EVERYONE. including Salarians. who are not interested in sex that way to begin with! though I would have to see the actual scene itself.

I am SO happy to see people speaking out against this. I don’t even read the books but queer erasure and ableism? WTF.
