Does it matter?



In fact, more importantly, listen to Martin Sheens voice. Does he sound like a black person? Would it work if we gave Jacobs face to the illusive mans voice? Answer is a big no.



These minority threads are getting ridiculous, black people aren't offended by it so why the hell are you, as a white person offended by it?

If there were a way to give threads negative stars, this thread would get 5 of them.

Face it, White guys can pull of the 'rich, powerful and sophisticated villain' character better than anyone else. Not even white chicks can pull it off as well.


I thought usually in sci-fi, white guys with British accents and a patriarchy complex are evil? White American guys usually end up saving the galaxy.

Or is that just Star Wars?

He must look like this:

Ugh, no Asian TIM please (and no I'm not a racist towards Asians, in fact, if someone is a big asia-freak here it's me).

TIM is fine the way he is now, he shouldn't be any different. Martin Sheen nailed the character and the way TIM looks right now is just perfect.

You're definitely giving Russell Wong a run for his money with this guy <3.

Because a black, lower class woman would sound odd with Martin Sheen's voice?

They really should have made him a her though. Have a woman in power for once. Or, maybe that's my feminist side talking.


Maybe they made the Shadow broker a woman. not an asari either, a female.

I guess its because if ME was a movie, Martin Sheen or Michael Douglas would exactly the kind of guys cast into that role.

The Illusive Man is a scumbag, with what Jacob's father was already up to I guess they figured they'd better balance it out.

Only Americans are in space. Space America. Isnt this beautiful people? Rich White Protestant Americans leaving the hateful minorites behind on Earth and the political correctness bull****, ruling humanity from the stars. Of course since white people are racing across the galaxy doing important things, its a good thing We left a few chinese people to run fuel stations (My favorite part, thanks Bioware for this detail.).

There is enough of this kind of talk in politics. Does it have to bleed over into freakin video games? There is not enough women, not enough blacks, not enough Asians. We have a bisexual female (kelly), but not a bisexual male. I suppose the op would support an international law requiring Bioware to have a % of races in their video games according to present day world population statistics.

/shrug If TIM had been a black man, or asian, or a woman, or etc., folks would be here complaining about stereotyping and portraying minorities as "the evil" while the savior of the galaxy is a white man.

Can't win either way.

Shepard is arguably the most important person in the galaxy, and all but one of mine are female. And the asari councillor, the seemingly most important member of the council. Not forgetting Aria, or even the Rachni queen.

I agree with you.
You know this is really simple.  Bioware created a video game following this ME story.  If you don't like it then don't buy it.  Go out and create a game the way you want it instead of dragging Bioware through the coals for not catering to your personal political correctness.
