I'd happily take spoilerific story and gameplay announcements over the design of a character that should have been established by now.

What I want to know is why call it a hair color poll when one of the options was changed beyond hair color.

I think people who want to use the favoritism argument have some ammo to use.

No.  The eye color difference doesn't show up in the Facebook images.  Those really do all have green eyes.

[LPPrince]

So...

I take it this comic-



is now completely irrelevant to this situation?

[Eurhetemec]

Oh snap, this shiz is on FO' REAL this time.

I expect the blonde will still win, but by a narrower margin.

No on FB so I can't vote, but interesting to see how it turns out. So much smack-talk from everyone in the previous thread, now the hairstyle is fixed, it's just the colour, which Shep do you choose?

Again, its not just eye color. Its also the freckles/beauty mark switch.

So I want to know why the redhead was changed up but the rest were kept the same, excluding hair color switches.

Shrugs the votes are still pretty close between the Red head and black hair shep and even the differences in the face aren't clear if you look at the Face book pictures and the eye color difference isn't really obvious.

This situation probably so but if you have a blonde shepard then its still relevant.

Because the artist probably went "Hmm, redhead...green eyes and freckles go with that, right? OK, there. Done.  Now to get on with the rest of my work..."  

[LPPrince]

Yeah, if people are voting on facebook, they need to have high res pics up instead of the full profiles they have now.

 I voted for the blonde.
Go Barbie Shepard!

Then why not attribute other things with brunettes, blondes, and black haired people and add those in?

I voted for everyone except barbie. Still not happy that one of the least soldier looking Femsheps won, but atleast blondie's out.

Blonde Shepard is currently in last:

Red: 8,723
Brown: 6,692
Dark Blonde: 2,875
Blonde: 2,815

We've graduated from Barbie Shep to Irish Stereotype Barbie Shep.

I probably would have done the same thing for the red head shep.

I hope to whatever higher power there is out there that this is the last voting session for femshep. The reaction of the community, and above all the media, has been appalling. In what was a purely democratic process that was hosted through the social network of Facebook, irrelevant of whether the voters were, are or will be ME players a selection was given and a consensus achieved. The model (they were all models btw) #5 was chosen, whether it was for hairstyle, hair colour, skin colour, etc.etc. What should have been a pure victory, for finally we had an official femshep, a heroine in a major frachise that did not have the usual selling points of halfnakedness, ****iness or exagerated anatomy, we had a ****storm. The reactions of many on the BSN community was expected concerning some major points like race or faithfulness to the franchise and those opinions were respected but as democracy is the rule of the majority, the #5 template was chosen by the anarchic mass of Facebook but also by the more dedicated members that exist on the BSN.

The reactions of several members and of media outlets concerning the hair colour was nothing but inexcusable. JUST BECAUSE SHE IS BLONDE IT MEANS THAT SHE IS A WEAK WOMAN AND A BARBIE STEREOTYPE?? The same Shepard that has been the heroine of two games suddenly became a lesser being just because she was blonde? What is this? A flippin' witch hunt? Do we, in the 21st century still judge people by superficial characteristics? The epitomy of this ridiculous behaviour was that article in that PC website. An article so full of discrimination and bigotry that if we exchanged blonde for "blacks" or "asians" it would have been full out racist.

If the objection to the hair colour was so predominant what stopped the community from acting civilised and ASKING BioWare to have a second vote concerning hair colour rather than acting like spoilt little kids and throwing tantrums because the toy we got was not the right colour. I have no problem with voting for various defining characteristics of FemShep for through choices is democracy built and above all she is as much ours, the entire playing audience that has played both ME and not only a select vocal few, as she is BioWares'.

Unfortunately what should have been a celebration of internet democracy became a travesty.

EDIT: Take the forum and replace it with /v/ and there would have been no difference.

Redhead shep is BS. Redheads are too stupid to be N7, let alone Spectres!

[ItsThat01Guy]

So it's a choice between Brunette, Blonde, Other Blonde, and FemShep?

Am I missing something here?

Because what was already added in fit the others. I wouldn't have really bothered to add something else for them since they looked pretty fitting to me.
