The US military still restricts infantry roles to men only. 

Good thing Shep isn't a member of the US military...and in the future...in space.

He asked about realism. The Alliance is quite obviously based off the US/British militaries.

Of course Shepard is canonically male.
Liara is the canon LI
Soldier is the canon class

People choose male Shepard? Really?

If they want some sense of realism, yes.

And the vast majority apparently do.

And why it is more real than choosing FemShep?

Ashley is infantry. You can't avoid getting Ashley.

I'm not saying that it's unrealistic based on Alliance standards. It's unrealistic by today's standards is what Twilight God is trying to say. I personally have no problem with it.

There isn't a canon Shepard.

Sheploo and the basic Fem!Shep are simply defaults, nothing more.

actually male shep is pretty much cannon. Even the mass effect movie is using male shep

Where did you find this information about the movie? Most reports say the movie won't be based on the games although it will still probably be crap.

Bioware does a butcher job on Shepard then want people to pay money to see a movie on that character? Resident Evil has no fear of losing it's top spot of the video game to movie top spot. And I think those movies are crap but there won't be many movies on a dead character.

1. You can select what back groud you have on the site.
2. I see a red headed femshep to my right...You blind.

There is a cannon Shepard because the Shepard in the books is a male.

Souce please. Give me the book, page and line this is stated on.

He won't. People asked him to do that and he deflected like a troll would. He's trolling. He'll say something like "No you have to show me a page" even though he was the one who brought that to the conversation.

Pfft, Mr. House is where it at. I gladly take his bottle caps to put a few caps on the caps on the Legion.

The covers of ME1, ME2 and ME3 show a Male, soldier Shepard.

That would be the computer-generated composite image that Vega mentions they replaced Shepard's actual image with on the recruiting posters.

How do they cope with all the spaceships and aliens and things, then?

I didnt know you could do this, and I actually am having a hard time finding the option to do this because I hate looking and male shep every time I come to the forums.

Took a few minutes but found it.

I would like the Femshep background more if her eyebrows weren't black >:I

There is no canon pertaining to certain things. Like whether Shepard is male or female. Or who the LI was.

That's why the books and comics are written the way they are.

There is no canon in that regard.

If thats the case then some people wouldn't have complained about the story elements that Bioware chose throughout the ME series.

The difference is people here have done their homework.  You have not.  Yet you struggle with them without having any leg to stand on.  Don't let me stop you tho.  It's been a facinating read.

I'm fine if I'm wrong while if the homework was done then there wouldn't be a no without evidence being presented.

Today's standards in certain countries. That may not be tomorrow's standards.
Realism based on present day prejudice is like saying Steve should not be an openly homosexual military pilot.

Page 6-7 Retribution:
"Commander Shepard had discovered that human colonists were being abducted by the Collectors, a reclusive species that served the will of the Reapers without question. "

"Shepard-with Cerberus's help-had destroyed the Collector operations."

"The plan to replicate the Collector experiments would progress in secret, without Shepard's knowledge or involvement. The alliance between Cerberus and humanity's most famus hero had been uneasy at best; neither side had fully trusted the other. It was possible they might together again in the future, but for now the Illusive Man was only willing to rely on his own top agents."

No gender specified, now provide specific pages where Shepard is referred to as a male in either book or conceed the point.

Post a link because this still isn't evidence because quotes are normally altered on BSN.

Yep and Shepard mainly has a Marine based role.

And the Alliance has female marines no matter what your choice. Ashley and Nerali Bhatia being two of them.
So again, you have no point.

If you have an issue with a soldier not having male genetalia, then by all means play a man and never bring along Ashley.
But don't try and impose your personal canon on the rest of us. Yes I know you're trolling, but others seem to actually believe this.

@Blueprotoss why are you still here after a good number of people have given you proof?

[Ledgend1221]

This is just funny now.

[Hannah Montana]

This is an honest question.

Do you think the galaxy would depend on anyone but a straight white male?

Every military branch has women in them while the men still vastly outnumber the women.

Yet you assume that I have an issue, which I don't, even when I only play as a FemShep and killed Kaidan.

Canon is everywhere throughout the ME series while that happens in most RPGs like Fallout, the Elder Scrolls, the Witcher, DA, KotOR, Neverwinter, Persona, and .Hack.   The list can go on and on whether we're talking about Western or Eastern based RPGs.
