The Ryder twins are 22 years old - excluding age added during stasis as they did not technically age. Shepard is, depending on how long Shepard was dead during the Lazarus project and if you count that, 33 or 30 years old.
He can call them whatever he wants as long as he knows that fem/bro>name< belongs to Shepard. Most likely since they don't exist at the same time, always one and both are called Shepard so one is BroShep and one is FemShep *unlike* with the Ryder twins. They are rarely called Ryder. They are called Sara or Scott which destroyes the need to distinguish the two by adding ''bro'' or 'fem'' to the Ryder name.
It's like if the Pathfinder wears the N7 armor and talks to Christmas. He'll get mad and start spouting that you need to ''earn'' the right to wear that armor.
And nobody gives a single damn what Bradley was barking about you are not worthy to wear the N7 - sorry, make a new armor set for biotic then i will consider it Mister Bradley. Anyway it belonged to Shep (since Alec had the Pathfinder set), so we shouldnt wear it either since its a replica of the iconic Bro and Femshep? Ew...
These things are not written in stone so it might be disturbing for you if somebody put the bro or fem title to the Ryders but i dont see anything wrong with it. Just because somebody started to call them like that and it became famous doesnt mean they should be the only ones being called like that.
I agree they sound a weird "BroRyder, FemRyder" but the hey tastes differ. You dont like it, its your call but dont jump on somebody who is on a different opinion than you.

I think, in-universe, everyone does care. As do people like me, true Shepard supporters. The Pathfinder shouldn't wear the N7 armor because, unlike their Alec Ryder, they haven't gone through the training to earn it. N7 is the only designation allowed to be worn on the battlefield, just shameful to it isn't worn be an actual N7 if not worn by Alec Ryder. And there already is a new armor, that is exclusive for the Pathfinder, the Helius Defender armor. That can be the Ryder twin's armor. You are aware of how hypocritical that sounds ''dont jump on somebody who is on a different opinion than you.'' Since that is what you're doing here, this isn't your fight. Add to that, I've said what I've wanted to say. Nothing else matters, the true fans knows what they should do.
But wearing or not the armor is your choice as Ryder. The amor exists, the choice to wear it is yours.
That is the dumbest discussion I have ever read (or close to it)...
From my point of view I would be honored if my kid were to wear my combat badges to honor my achievements even if my kid was not the ones who achieved it, how do people know it is not also the case here with Ryder, maybe Ryder wears the armor in honor of his/her father who literally gave his life for you, in medieval times it was tradition to hand down one's armor and weapons to the one who would carry your name forward and it was considered an honor and a sign of respect to wear it :eahigh_file:
,@admcmei86, only that it isn't considered as such. Christmas doesn't say ''Hey player, it is disrespectful that you make your character wear that armor.'' He says ''You have to earn that'' (paraphrasing) to the Pathfinder. In universe reasons apply for not, and to, wear it but that doesn't change the fact that it is disrespectful, or else Christmas wouldn't have said that.
@TECHound, then you haven't read enough discussions or have been very reserved. That isn't necessarilly the case. The N7 helmet of Alec Ryder is placed on the nightstand next to the Pathfinder's bed yet you have to construct that helmet to use it. You don't wear his armor, his badges of honors... you make new a new one and wear it - may not be the same for the entire armor as the description says it has been refited for your usage, still though.
Alec Ryder probably has many medals, the new Pathfinder can wear those. If wear the N7 armor then why not use all his ''memento'' weapons in his room? I also point out that wearing the N7 armor for pride won't help you in a battle, if you're going to wear it then do it because it protects you. If you have a problem with me not liking that a non-N7 can wear N7 gear then how about you make a thread that argues against Christmas and all other in the Mass Effect universe who feel the same as him?
@CasperTheLich, good for them. I still stand by my opinion.
roastpotato wasn't commenting about what you said, but how you said it. it came off as a tad aggressive, i guess because tone is hard to write/interpret in posts.
