One thing I have discovered, is that I dislike how the only Shepherd shown in the trailers is the male version.

Before you start complaining, I understand that they had to pick one style of Shepherd to show for cohesion's sake. I get it. And it is not that I am not familiar with it; my boyfriend has played it many times, so I can recognize the male voice as being from the game. Also, I realize that if developers tried to do a trailer for every character version, then there would be thousands of trailers to watch. But in this case, they only have two voice choices: male or female. Why not showcase both of them?

When I played ME1, I got used to that Shepherd's voice. Having recently finished ME2, and after applauding the fact that they got the original voice actress to do the voice again, I eagerly began looking up trailers for the next one. However, I found myself bored during them. And they're talking about how the reapers are HERE, so I should be totally stoked! But there is something about not being able to at least hear the Shepherd that I have grown to care about.

That may just be me being picky. Does anyone else wish they would release at least one trailer with the opposite sex's voice?

Shepard*

They should release a fem!Shep trailer for sure. Because I'd like to see a CGI-fem!Shep.

Besides that, I don't think that trailer is sexist. That word is used far too frequently (like racist, xenophobic, n*zi etc) in the campaign of "political correctness".

Which I despise whole hearted. ^^

It also only has a white Shepard.

RACIST!

Well that goes without saying.  All humans are, after all.

...really?

[ediskrad327]

sexist?
they use the male Shepard becuase it's the default quickstart Shepard, before this thread gets more -BLAM-ing stupid i will say that they said that they ARE MAKING A FEMSHEP TRAILER.......at least that's what they say.

Shepard is American, so it's also xenophobic.

Is it sexist? No.

However showcasing a female Shepard would be nice.

Here is what I would describe as sexist.

If every single female character was a useless damsel in distress and a solely a sex object and nothing else. If all the female characters whined all the time, made angry comments about the bold knights that saved them, then betrayed the knights out of spite of being saved. Then got captured for the 5th time in the game. The bold hero has to save the damsell again! Then she suddenly warms to him, melts and makes love, but still remains consistent by making stupid remarks and not having a clue what is going on.

Bioware has never done this.

I AM TIRED AND SICK OF CHARACTERS THAT KEEP GETTING CAPTURED ALL THE TIME!!!!! I'M TIRED OF THEM HAVING NOTHING USEFUL TO DO IN THE PLOT AND BEING THE ANNOYING PERSON WHO EVENTUALLY WARMS UP TO THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR. IF I WANTED TAMING OF THE SHREW, I'D WATCH THE PLAY PERFORMED IN STRATFORD UPON AVON BY PROPER SHAKESPERIAN ACTORS. NOT BY LOOSERS WHO DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT A GOOD GAME IS.

Sexism is a term thrown about a bit too freely, methinks. Sheploo has been ME's marketing poster boy for years; he's iconic and chances are that even anyone who hasn't played the games will recognize him from past commercials or posters.

Like has been said, FemShep IS supposed to be getting a trailer. And she's been getting quite a bit of attention this marketing cycle - there was a vote on default FemShep and they invited Jennifer Hale (her VA) to a convention or two. It's more coverage than she's ever gotten before, so I'm happy with it.

Shepard not being married to his LI is offensive to my religion.

[Halfdan The Menace]

Because they paid for Sheploo...

[Ticktank]

So if all the trailers had only femshep, is that sexist too?

I don't care about FemShep. I don't care about who's in a trailer. Doesn't affect the game itself one bit.

[aksoileau]

It's not sexism... sorry. It's numbers. The majority play male, thus that's who you show in your marketing. The minority who play femshep get the minority of the marketing.

It would be sexist if the trailer said: "Saving Earth from the Reapers is a man's job."

[hawat333]

Who is that Shepherd we are talking about?
