I was thinking of how she sits when talking to Garrus. An epic leg splay that would even shock a gynecologist. :pinched:

Women must behave like this, women must sit like this, women must dress like this, women must talk like this, women must look like this. Otherwise they are not women despite what gender they are born as. All because they do not follow the social norm they are turned into men and that is disgusting.


Same goes for men.


Granted. It's aggravating either way.

Yes, but no one is making threads complaining about how male Shepard behaves. He is behaving how it is socially acceptable. Though I've seen some people say the way he crosses his arms is too feminine, which is just ridiculous.

You could count though that people like to say male shepard being bisexual/gay will some how damage his leadership skills. Meanwhile it's perfectly acceptable for female shepard to have bisexual tendencies. 

Social gender expectations.

Wow, that definitely gets an honorable mention among the list of most ridiculous things I've heard around here.

I think that male Shepard is too masculine. But it is just my opinion, I am in a great minority here, nothing in the game is going to change for me alone. I like to play dudes from Final Fantasy. And just in case - I'm straight.

Is this another Kaidan romance thread?


I guess this rules out Jacob.

I think it's fair to ask for a cleaned up run animation. No matter how 'manly' a woman is, she runs differently from a man.

That said, we shouldn't be really able to tell when its fixed. We shouldn't look at her and go, "Ah! She's running like a woman now! Perfect!" It should just look like a normal person running.

For example, Lady Hawke. The animators knew the runcycle for females in DA was pretty poor. They wanted to do a new animation that 'read' as female... and they did what animators do, which is to exaggerate so it can be easily read. So rather then looking natural, it looks cartoonish. Ideally, we should never even notice the runcycle.

I think such threads are made because female gamers in general have a difficult time being acknowleged, and we would like our slice of game preferences to be considered. FemShep sharing animations with MaleShep makes the experience feel less unique, and like FemShep is second class as a character.  Gender stereotypes aren't really a factor for me, it's about equality in gaming, which we are still a long way away from, sadly.

Probably more-so for us actually, at least where I am from. Woman could be masculine and it would be fine. Men acting feminine just wasn't social accepted, which is sad really... I enjoy unique and unordinary personalities.

Cloud? Squall? Ramza? Fei, if we're extending to other strong leads from that era of good JRPGs? Yeah, they're cool.

A thread about it being girly?  Looks perfectly fine to me, Shepard here is showing some character instead of being a brick. ^_^

Yes. They are badass, and exeptionally good looking, they also don't hide their emotions a lot.

Who in their right mind wouldn't want FemShep to be more feminine. She better have womanly animations in ME3.

Aww come now ... I like the military feel of Commander Shepard. :)... and besides it's not like he is as "masculine" as those guys from Gears of War or Duke Nukem whose very ****** is that of pure liquid testosterone and motor oil. But it really is just a matter of opinion.

Male? Badass? Emotion? One of these does not belong.

Agreed. I don't see how this is really girly. Its just a male Shepard crossing his arms . Maybe its the way his hips look that give him the girly look, I don't know. I just don't see it. But then I suppose I don't have room to talk about this since 1. I am not a man. 2. I don't use Male Shepards. :mellow::lol:
