#5 won the first poll fair and square by a landslide. It was never announced that there would be other polls. Now all of a sudden it’s “Oh, forget that first poll, that was just the hairstyle. This round is hair color, and the next one will be eye color”. Hm. Where did that come from?
This is a cop out if I’ve ever seen one, or at least it is certainly coming across as such. And that’s why I’m disappointed. If it wasn’t a beauty contest then, it has become one now. If it wasn’t “superficial”, now it is. And if I wasn’t offended by all the backlash that took place, now I kind of am. They didn’t stand up for that result, a decision made by us players. To counter all the whining when #5 won the first poll, because she was a blonde. And apparently, blondes are “dumb bimbos and pornstars with glued-on nail and Chihuahuas in their bags” so that couldn’t be our heroine. That couldn’t be the strong female that saves the galaxy. But if you dyed her hair red (or black, or brown, whatever) she’s suddenly acceptable. Her IQ went up, she removed her glue-on nails and got rid of the Chihuahua. And dropped her day job in adult flicks to become the all-mighty savior of the galaxy. Behold the power of a bottle of red hair dye.
Yes, because blondes are superficial. Riiight.
*extreme sarcasm*
I said it before and I’ll repeat, I would have been happy with any of the options in the first poll. It happened that #5 won. Now let’s imagine that #2 (redhead) had won. And there’d be multiple threads and literally hundreds of pages whining about that result (that was reached democratically btw), because “Gingers suck”. They are “dumb bimbos who smell like copper” and “get sunburns indoors at night” and as such they are weak and less capable. They can’t represent Femshep for those exact reasons. And all of a sudden a new poll is created stating that it was about the hairstyle and not the color. That people liked because it was pulled back and that’s more appropriate for a soldier, doesn’t get in the way etc etc.
That’s sort of how I feel about this. I’m just… disappointed.
