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.LaurenShepard-N7 wrote...
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?
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.
The disappearing blonde gene is a pseudoscientific claim that has periodically surfaced in the media since 1865... The extinction claim is based on a misinterpretation of recessiveness in genetics. In reality, unless blondness is positively selected against, it is unlikely to become extinct, and the blond gene, or alleles for the trait, is unlikely to disappear by simple breeding.
