Lol and this is why blondes need to stop with “We’re so discriminated against!”

When Bioware actually listens to us and throw in romance options for Garrus and Tali, we whine.
When Bioware gave us a choice to vote for a femshep, we whine.
When Bioware take our feedback with a certain degree of seriousness, we whine.
Do you want Bioware to become Activision and release a copy of the same game annually?

On to the whole femshep's hair ordeal. Was the whole "OMG BLONDE SHEP = SEXIST" thing pretty messed up? Yes. But people, where's the harm in actually letting us pick the hair color? As far as I'm concerned, the blonde hair option was still available, and yet the red-haired option was chosen to be the default femshep. Guess what? People preferred the red-haired Shepard over the blonde-haired Shepard, and by a wide margin. I voted for the red hair simply because Shepard looks better in red hair. Why is that so hard to accept? Why do you believe that the 19,995 people who voted for red hair (compared to 5541 who voted for blonde hair) all believe that blonde women in media = sexist?

And some of you generalize feminists as women trying to be men or women who believe that women >>>>> men. Sadly, neither of these are true. In general, feminists believe that females and males deserve equal rights and treatment. There are, however, different focuses for different types of feminists. The point I'm trying to bring out is, those who believe that "OMG BLONDE SHEP = SEXIST" are few among many. Please stop slapping the label "feminist" around and blaming us for everything that has happened.

I love my femshep who is in my "canon" playthrough. I do have a maleshep character as well. Each of our choices create different experiences and there are no right or wrong so to speak. Please, everyone, regardless of your "alliance" toward maleshep or femshep or neither, just stop arguing over who's better. I'm sure each of you believe that your shep is >>> whoever else's and there is no point in arguing.

And before anyone starts pointing fingers, remember, you're actually pointing three fingers at yourself.

I don't even understand why people raged anyway. Most people have their own unique, custom Shepards, who cares what the default one looks like.

I personally found it mean to blondes, everyone was complaining how they didnt want Shepard to be another"dumb blonde".
seriously like if i was blonde i would be raging at everyone.
I dont care what hair colour she has. More things to worry about in life.

Redhead is even worse than blonde.
I'm pretty sure blonde and brunette are the most common, and it should have been a vote ONLY between light vs. dark hair.

Some people don't like redheads at all, which includes me, honestly.
Red hair is rare already, and I'm sure over 120 years from now, redheads would be as rare as albino people.

Its harder to be prejudice against a blonde or brunette femshep since those are the most common hair colors.

Sometimes Bioware goes too far to please people.

Eh, not a big deal to me. I mean, I personally find blonds more attractive, and my girlfriend is blond, but I'll just change it in the character creator. It's not like the default shepard is the canon one. There is no cannon shepard.

The only reason I disliked the blonde haired femShep was because my main femShep (and my secondary) have red hair. So femShep has just always been a redhead to me and it was jarring to see her with the blonde. I imagine lots of others feel similarly.

As for the big deal on the hair color, people are just excited because it's the first time femShep is actually featured in marketing and on the game tin and such. In almost every single one of the kind of games where you can choose the player characters gender you only see the male character in the marketing.

People need to watch some Mad Men. It really improves life. I wasn't a red head lover, but I sure as heck learned my lesson.

Some hoe wrote an article about how offensive it was that people voted for a girl who looked a certain way. She was subtly promoting fascism but failed miserably.

I can imagine.
Originally only humans could only mate with humans or asari and then people complained so now we can have a hanar-volus-elcor-human orgy.
Anything is possible these days.

Must be a lot of women on BSN. Would explain why Bioware is closer to a dating sim each game.

Not "us", "them"!
It was not a BSN-poll, it was on fakebook, so everyone of us without a FBAccount could not vote, while several Never-ME-Players where allowed to vote.

idg the issue with being blonde, but I guess it is because I don't immediately judge the content of someones character by the melanin levels in their hair follicles.

Prefer red though. Just don't get the idea that it is sexist to make a female character blonde, regardless of how society may present them in icons like idk Paris Hilton. Seems unnecessarily prejudicial, but it is always something.

Now that I think about it there are literally no blonde female characters to be seen in the games. So far we have Ashley, Miranda, Jack, Kasumi, Kelly, Diana... all have dark hair. Do gamers really hate blondes that much? I mean how about some variety?

I don't even fully understand what the issue was in the first place. Canon FemShep was only created for the purpose of advertising. ADVERTISING. But yet there were still HUNDREDS of threads and blogs and articles about whiney women going 'WE SHOULD BOYCOTT BIOWARE BECAUSE THEY'RE SEXIST AND THINK ALL FEMALES ARE DUMB BLONDE BARBIES! LOLZIEZ!~'

The fact that they got offended so baddly in the first place over a character that was CUSTOMISABLE in the first place says a lot about a lot of women and their blantantly obvious insecurities about themselves.

Apparently there IS actually an ingame reason for this. Unless you have genetic modifications or... just dye it, natural blonde hair is apparently extinct. Which makes sense if you think about genetic diversity and that.

I didn't vote the first time but did the second. Personally I voted for the redhead because it was closest to the original default FemShep. As for everyone else's reasons *shrugs*

Nah. Just put a bag over FemShep's head. That way nobody ought to complain about her hair style.
