What is the overall obsession with "Femshep"?
I understand the obsession with women and Femshep, she is a strong female character who is not sexualized. I don't understand the obsession with males having the preference playing Femshep.(or any fe...

I played all three games multiple times, and while I did one playthrough with a male Shepard I did multiple with Femshep, even exclusively Femshep in the last 7 or 8 years.
- I am one of the crowd who thinks that Jennifer Hale voice-acting is superior.
That is of course purely subjective, still I think many people that played both genders will agree that Jennifer Hale did a better job in ME1.
However, Mark Meer has caught up in ME3. - I don't have any problems relating to a Female character.
I just don't see how the gender should make such a big difference?
What draws me into a figure is the character, not the gender. - I have a thing for Women that can kick ass.
- My FemShep is pretty easy on the eyes in cut scenes.
Okay, EA, what's the official answer? 🙂
I'm with you on a couple of things OP:
1) There is some strange obsession, especially with the ME3 version of Femshep. Personally, I prefer the ME1/2 Femshep over ME3 (her looks are far too sexualized (like NewAsh).
2) Yes, Jennifer Hale is considered to be one of the best in the VA biz, but honestly, I don't see her as any better than Mark Meer as my Shepard.
But...
I don't have a problem playing the female character in a followup play (my completionist obsession).
Since I always start with Paragon, my FemShep inevitably becomes Renegade.
And yeah, I'm afraid a lot of it is: "if I'm going to be looking at a butt all the time, might as well be one I can appreciate!"

More attractive equals sexualized?
That is some can of worms. 😜
