seriously, the internets is chokeful of threads about how "disturbed" everyone is about Subject Zero. This is a little too telling to not be embarrasing. I for one really LOVE that characterdesign, seriously, it doesn't mean that i would humb her in RL (but i'm not even sure about that), but for a GAMECHARACTER she is quite unique and badass, it puzzles me that everyone and their mother seem to hate her. There's already enough ****** and asses in that game to please the adolescent, we need something to counterbalance that. And i really love the overall characterdesign so far, just "Grunt" seems a little to obvious to me.

Subject Zero isn't disturbing people because she's a 'strong woman' she's disturbing people because she has the psychology of a beaten dog.

And no, she's not unique, she's 'edgey' now if you go back to the 90s you'll find a lot of 'edgy' characters in comic books. Frankly, the intelligent people are tired of them. Dark =/= Good or Interesting

((Not to say dark characters can't be those things.))

I've seen people refuse to play as FemShep.

Full body tattoo, piercings, tight leather clothing, skinheaded



That's a strong woman? That isn't a strong woman, that's a ****ing psychopath. Psychopaths can tend to be pretty scary people.

Another Subject Zero topic? BORING



Can't we talk more about Zaeed? Do rugged, scarred, but handsome older men scare gamers?

It depends on how strong a woman is, for example, if she can hammer a nail with her teeth, then yeah, a strong woman scares me.

Subject-Zero is a cool character,and the only reason I played a femshep was to enjoy a kicka** woman.

I love strong women :) That said, tattoos do not the strong woman make: you should see my femshep - tough as nails but as charming as a new dawn ;)

Because I'd rather prefer a character that doesn't look like she'd knife me for the loose change in my pocket?



You can have strong women without making them freaking bipolar gangsters from outer space.

Real men prefer conversation and baking cookies.

I like boobs though.

No, they are the ones that tend to be boring and cliche. Hoping that Zaeed isn't though.

I think strong women only scare people who are insecure about themselves. Bioware has many great, strong women in their games that I respect and think are amazing. Plus I have no problem playing as a male or female Shep in ME or a man or woman in Dragon Age.



As far as Subject Zero goes, we all know who's the badass biotic. ;)

Speak for yourself, it may just be digital, art, film, pictures etc but there are plenty of men who will be aroused by the female figure no matter what the medium.

REAL men care about football, cars, and waffles, though.

Uhm no? I'm not an adolecent, and I can prove you wrong. In fact I just did. I like them. What now?

I agree. Look at all the walking steroid/testosterone filled space marines who also swear and have tattoos that people think are cool. This leads me to believe that if Subject Zero were a man, people would think she's badass instead of being "disturbed." Gaming is a predominantly male audience, and it shows.

Have to say I disagree. An ass is pleasureable whether real or digital, though digital on a lesser scale of course.

Yes I wonder how many people would complain if subject zero was a man?
