It's the same thing with the Asari, though they at least get real clothing
god, they even directly say in the mass effect artbook that the asari were created just to fulfill the "sexy blue alien woman" trope
cuz that was something they absolutely needed to do
and you can definitely see the "this is actually meant for straight men only" vibe when you go to the strip clubs, where in this huge galaxy filled with all sorts of types of people, the only dancers are ever asari and human woman (all of whom are, of course, skinny)
in ME2 they tried to equalize the asari aspect somewhat by introducing the drell, who were designed to be sexy male aliens for straight women (as the asari were sexy female aliens made for straight men), but by ME3 the drell are basically forgotten
(IIRC a writer said that the reason Thane has so little romance-specific dialogue in ME3 is because they actually forgot to write any until late in development)
meanwhile, the asari are revealed to be
the super special species chosen by the protheans to receive portions of their knowledge and technology
I love mass effect but
maaaan mass effect......
