In the bioshock 2 art book it says that in lore the little brothers where too aggressive and gard to control so couldn't be turned into successful gatherers, but I think the ACTUAL reason is they figured little girls would be seen as weaker an thus you'd be more inclined to protect them (ngl I have an issue with the "the girls are just easier to control" thing but there you go)
You’re actually right! I totally forgot. The first time little brothers were mentioned to me, it was in the Bioshock: Rapture novel where Frank asks Brigid why there are no boys, and she cringes before changing the subject. I assumed they all died, and for a long time I didn’t hear otherwise, so I forgot it was actually addressed in the Deco Devolution book.
