There is probably a very insignificant amount of people that actually care that they went with a woman character. However, the portion of snowflake gamers that felt threatened by a woman invading their safe space of the FPS genrer and want to cry "z0mg SJWs" are given the mother of all megaphones through the internet and Reddit.
If EA had simply not acknowledged their bullshit and made and released the game, it might have sold a little worse than usual, but the majority of gamers are attracted by solid gameplay and the like. But when the company comes out and says "we don't care what you think" it sends a bad message to everyone. Granted, it's the appropriate response to this specific "criticism" but they needed to be more tactful.
EA caved on ME3 id be happy to not see them cave anymore.. once you start given into those type of things it never ends and the game ends up being something it was never ment to be...
Its the changing of the times there are more girl gamers now than ever and game companies are trying to make sure they have an option to play as a female if it fits. (new assassins creed is the first time you can pick the main characters as a girl or boy) Funny enough I know guys that wont play games if they cant be a girl.. (I guess to look at digital butts) but its a very sad reason to miss out on great games.
