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. ^^

Omg you dispised  it... I loathe it  - the ism  phopics get thrown around way to much and way to casually. 

If  one does this too much people  became tone deaf  to the whole thing.

You humans are all sexist!

...It's just not the same.

[DiebytheSword]

I'm of a mind that only those people that approve of those divisions see them. If someone calls you racist, then it shows they divide and categorize people by race.

You see a minority victim. I see a person, an individual with his own faults and virtues, blind of color.

Sexism is really the same thing. Women and men are different, but each is still human and each fully worthy of equal opportunity.

Political correctness is a cancer.

I honestly think your barking up a very tall tree OP. Sexist is so over used by everyone trying to obtain political correctness, it's almost lost its value. If you really try you can nearly make everything out to have a sexist point about it.

Well this thread is going to be locked down. I certainly got carried away earlier.

There is nothing sexist about this trailer. It doesn't say anything demeaning towards women. I see where you're coming from. A trailer with a female protagonist would be nice. There aren't enough games where you can play as a female.

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?

how is that sexist? also there releasing a female shep's trailer soon!!! p.s in future dont throw around stuff like sexist aqqusation's towards bioware etc. when its unfounded!!!

I'm not really sure why people cry sexist over anything BioWare has done regarding using Sheploo. I mean, he was the face of Mass Effect BEFORE it was cool. That's right. Sheploo's gone hipster.

[mackan__s]

Maybe it is made to be so? Are you going to be sad if the male-shep appears in the future "movie" about mass effect to?

Ive already heard countless people complaining that if there is a male shep in the possible movie that Bioware is sexist.People only care about themselves with things like this,its quite sad.

I'm getting tired of them showing Sheploo too, its like there advertising a brick with a assault rifle!

Heaven forbid they show a custom Shep, FemShep or any Rpg elements in marketing because that would be the end of civilization as we know it!

I like Sheploo. Umm Brick with an assault rifle.

I prefer playing as a female Shepard for numerous reasons. Mostly because I'm a man, and I know it's strange to some people but I find kick as women attractive. Yes I love women who can beat up men.

At opening post. No! That trailer is not sexist!

You have to understand that it is a goal of marketing to leave an impression in people's heads. What is a good way to create brand familiarity? Have a spokesperson (man or woman) that is used consistantly across the franchise. You can see Shepard and know instantly that it is Mass Effect.

If they used a custom shepard and you saw a poster on the wall and didn't see the name of the game or the N7 logo, would you have any real clue about what it was? The use of 'Sheploo' (Whos idea was it to use the word, Sheploo?) lets people know what is going on.

It's not about excluding women or custom characters, it's about maintaining something familiar.

Another example - You are walking in the mall and pass the Gaming store, you see a lifesize cutout of Shepard - You know right away it's Mass Effect. Let's say you loved ME1 or 2 but you haven't followed the franchise since, that one image will tell you that there is something new related to Mass Effect. You see the same face on commercials, web ads, posters and other media. Then when you are searching for a game down the road, you see the same face on a box and you recognize it right away. Getting someone to look at your product is the hardest part.
