Can I be sexist against my own gender?

I've heard of black people being racist against other blacks, so I don't see this as any different.

Byne do you really have to refer to Shepard as "her" and "she" constantly? Can't you just say Shepard? I personally don't see Shepard as a girl, but I don't go around saying "he this" and "him that".

I know this was directed at Byne but I wanted to respond too since I also refer to Shepars as "she".

Personally, if you want to refer to Shepard as "he" because your Shepard is male, then that's fine by me, I can't speak for Byne but I personally wouldn't care.  I see Shepard as female, that's my canon Shepard, if you see Shepard as male then you have every right to refer to Shepard as "he."  Honestly I refer to Shepard as she because that's how I see shepard, but also because it is less tedious than writing the name Shepard all the time, and I always manage to type it wrong when I try to do the whole "s/he" thing.  I honestly find that tedious too. 

When I talk about Shepard I usually refer to MY Shepard, since that's the Shepard I've played as, and therefore is also the hypothetical Shepard going through the scenarios the thread proposes.  That's the beauty of Shepard; she, or he, is in some way, a part of the player.  At least that's how I've always seen it.

I agree, it can be confusing to try and use the correct pronoun all the time especially when you're so used to your Shepard being one gender or the other.  I don't think someone calling Shepard a he or she should be taken so seriously.

Does the particular pronoun for Shepard really matter? No, no it doesn't. Use whichever one you feel better suits your Shepard whether it's he, she, or it (would love to see that)

Well, I'm out for the night. It was nice to visit for a total of about 1 hour tops. I'll see you all later.

What was the word they used in one of the Futurama movies? Shklee?

In other news, want even more incentive to avoid the synthesis ending? Now you have it.

Yeah, I think that's how Shepard should be described from here on out!  No but really guys it doesn't matter at all what pronoun is used

Speculation: Leviathan is Harbingers 'Brother', and they were the first 2 true reapers, However Leviathan was the one who did not approve of becoming one.

So like the Eredar/Draenei in World of Warcraft?

That would be an interesting twist, but sadly I think this DLC will try and cram synthesis down our throats

I doubt it highly. But we'll see soon enough.

Hopefully I'm wrong

I'm still not entirely convinced that Leviathan is, in fact, a Reaper.

We got hit hard by the trolls today.

I can't see how Synthesis is a good thing, regardless of how much BW may or may not try to hype it up. Forcing the entire galaxy to be cyborgs just because the star brat says you can do it doesn't make it the best decision. I find synthesis to be repulsive (at the very least how it is presented in the game) and personally if BW does truly think that synthesis is the best ending then I no longer have faith in their storytelling abilities.

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now...assuming anyone actually saw me standing on it...

No, I agree. IT or not, I never even considered picking anything other than "Destroy" for my canon Shep. The other two options are thematically revolting. And while the EC-added "Refuse" may involve the patented Shepard speech™, it's still tantamount to giving up. Destroy or bust!

You know what I don't get? If machines and organics become one, wouldn't they still need tools? So they create more synthetics, and the whole synthetic vs organarobots still occurs. Like, will your toaster have  feelings after synthesis?

. I think most of us agree that Synthesis is just plain garbage story telling.  I only picked the other options to see how they looked on my nice tv.  I never pick anything but Destroy for an actual play through, but if I HAD to pick another refuse.  I'd rather not play the reapers game than give into their wishes.
