I guess you forgot about the thousands and thousands of whiners against #5. I actually see less of what happened before and the fact no one against poll #2 has yet resorted to writing 4+ hate articles about someone’s hair color.
This actually means one thing, that this femshep is way more consensual than the older one and that Bioware made the right move. This isn't a game. And yeah I do remember the whining. Oh my utterly ridiculous.
Actually, since whinebabys from the first contest got their way I see less whining from them and now I just see a load of excuses why it was ok for Bioware not to hold true to their own words of what they called their contest. I might remind them now that Biwoare for all we know, could do this again. They already showed they can‘t commit to the first contest title. Whose to say they will for this one? Heck, they could even go back to the original winner if they wanted too. I wonder how people from poll #2 would feel about that if it happened.
This kinda reminds me of the palestinian conflict. I wonder why.
Oh, and I recently checked into the numbers out of curisoity because I’ve been seeing a bunch of people on sites I visit daily saying they weren’t going to vote this time around for Poll #2. I would have to conclude they must be keeping to their word.
1st place winner(red hair) is only ahead by 2nd place(black hair) by 6,386(as of typing this around 9:15ish AM)
I’m pretty sure at the same amount of days (or even less If memory serves me right) #5 the original was already 10,000/14,000 ahead of 2nd place. With a landslide victory in a few days.
And the others are only around 5,500ish votes each. That’s not a lot of people voting this time around compared to last. Due to many things I would presume(too lazy to list) Just an interesting thing to look at.
The insinuation that the blondie voters ragequitted and that's the reason why redshep is winning sounds too silly to be taken seriously. But people need to believe in it, I'm not going to steal your religion from you.
Oh, and I wouldn't be so certain to declare red hair the winner yet, It's Bioware, they could troll the winner at anytime 
Schadenfreude much? Honestly, I don't care. But that would really surprise me. In the first vote I was thinking "what the hell where they thinking?", didn't sound right, the choices, etc. But I didn't mind when I saw the blondie, I figured "hey what the hell, why not a blondie". The second was a good move, IMO, because it went to pick many people's concerns. Now I don't know any other case of this happening, this is quite the novelty, so I also excuse bioware for their mistakes. It's also all in great fun, and really all the fuss just blows my head off.
