I actually have a theory why Shepard is "properly" played as female. May be controversial. Is this the thread for that kind of discussion?

yes, except for the part where lara was gasping and panting like she was in a soft pr0n vid as she fought free of the sinking ship in that demo. i found that incredibly distracting. i kept thinking, femshep would be saying, "Taking heavy fire!" like she's all pissed off about it, in that wonderful way jen hale does. then again, it IS lara's first outing in that vid game, so we'll see if the story has her toughen up.
Ok. I'm a male and I've got a pretty dirty mind often enough, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on the planet that didn't hear this kind of sound or make this kind of association when watching the Tomb Raider trailer or game-play vids. For the trailer, she sounded pretty convincingly like a young woman thrown into a really rough situation. She's getting knocked around, she's half-drowning, and she's scared to death.
Mine as well. I had to think about it to make a sex joke, that doesn't normally happen. I felt like she was in real danger and real pain instead of just pwoering trhough everything without making a sound, she was scared, crying, and breathing heavily. I hope Shepard gets some of that humanity added to her, granted she's more battle hardened than "level 1" Lara Croft.Sinapus wrote...

That was my impression as well.
Well Femshep was in high grade combat armor and has many abattle under her belt and an incredibly high pain threshold. Lara was kidnapped, tied upside down, fell, almost drowned, wwas injured and being chased by some dude. Without prior experience so tiw as mostly her being scared witless and in pain. but I can see how it could sound sexual.sagequeen wrote...
^ it wasn't the actual recording. it was that it went on and on and ON and ON endlessly. everything made her gasp. femshep makes noise, but she seems much more controlled in doing so. i dunno. i've never been in a burning ship that's about to sink. but it just sounds like that much gasping wastes breath. again though, as you say, it could be that it's just early lara. i found it vaguely sexualized though, and thought it was just me until i began reading on blogs and seeing on vid commentary that i was not the only one who got that impression.
but hey, that's what volume control is for.

Check out David Silverman's stuff on Twitter. If you scroll down his posts, he mentions on 28/05/11 that 'her hair is most likely red', in response to a query regarding skin tone, and later on (30/05/11) he says: 'OK, so for #FemShep, the Red Hair votes continue to flood overwhelmingly. As for eyes, hearing a lot of green with some blue. Act now! #ME3'.
So, it looks like it's green eyes and red hair... A true Irish beauty waiting to happen there...

Just piping in to say that I'm very pleased with the most recent news about femShep exposure. I really do feel that this thread and its sister site helped push femShep further into the spotlight.
I'm also having a good laugh at some of the contrary responses over in this thread: http://social.biowar...index/7656606/1 Makes me realize how some people really find it hard to see an issue from a completely different perspective.

Nice quote from the IFC article on FemShep:
"...the safest way to broad appeal is to put Standard Issue White Guy #38--hasn't shaven for three days, short, dark hair, devil-may-care smirk, maybe a scar for character--on your cover ... But, in a game where you create a character to save the universe from a marauding race of sentient machines, the face of the franchise needn't be restricted to just one type."
