seriously I'm a guy and I prefer Brunettes and Blondes well on girls. I have a childhood friend who became my highschool sweetheart and we seperated and got back to together and let me tell you not all blondes are as dumb as some people think. My girlfriend and a few of my female friends who are blondes are really smart but they act dumb like the so called typical dumb blondes because they want to and they act that way almost every day all day.

Hale doesn't exactly sound black.

...Not exactly sure where you were trying to go with this, but if my guess was right, would now be a good time to point out that Ash's VA is also black?

Apparently, like this youtu.be/He09JaBVZdE

I guess so. You can't speak proper English and be black. That never happends.

Garrus' voice actor is also not a Turian.

I was shocked to find that tidbit out.

Actually, there was a Twitter poll months before the Facebook poll in which the redhead/green eyes won. Later they had a Facebook poll, for some odd reason and the blond won. Loads of people in this community and out of it (many of which did not insult blondes) but stated they voted for the hairstyle only. When the other poll came out, that statement became obviously true in the fact that the redhead won with substantial votes. The blond didn’t even come in second.


It’s funny to me that so many people were outraged that blondes were insulted. Women characters are picked apart daily on this forum for one reason or another. Without mentioning names, I have seen some posters who were completely “so mad because blondes were insulted!” pick apart other female characters because their boobs looked too big, which means they’re over sexualized and stripperish. “I can’t her serious when her boobs are that big!” or that Ashley looks like a hooker/stripper, etc. Ah, stereotypes are fun…except when you don’t like them.

After a vote for the new default appearance of FemShep, there was a vote for her hair color, and people voted for red hair.

And she was a red hair in the first two games anyway, so why not the third?

I'm not seeing how it's particularly hypocritical to rail against insulting blondes and sh*tty design at the same time. Especially since they were essentially different arguments.

Just the argument that someone saying that if you’re more than a B-Cup you can’t be taken seriously as a soldier, yet the rage is set if someone says you can’t be taken seriously as a soldier if you’re blond. Different arguments, same hypocrisy.

[Valcutio]

Yeah, apparently the right people complained when Blonde Shep won - so Bioware snuck a second voting round in to change her hair color. It was a sham but *shrugs* - whatever makes Bioware happy.

Yeah, I think you missed the point. They're different arguments. Sure there may have been people like that, but the vast majority of people who "found it hard to take X seriously" found it so because the redesigns were purely for "sex appeal;" it was an issue of sexualisation, not stereotypes. It's not tiggo bitties, but the retroactive addition of tiggo bitties and/or catsuits - especially if it ran contrary to what had been seen of the character thus far. Everyone in ME is a fighter. If you go out in a catsuit and high heels, hair and ****** akimbo, you deserve to die. The problem people had was the "sex appeal over pragmatism" approach BioWare has been taking with its female (and even non-gendered) characters. It's hard to take a character seriously if it seems like the devs don't anymore.

There were different femsheps, and only one had a long hair style, and that was the blonde one. She won, and a lot of people took pride because they were blonde themselves and nonsense like that. I said from the beginning, that the only reason the blonde was ahead and eventually won, was because she was the only one that had that hair style, and that if there was another shepard with that same hair style but with a different hair color, that it would've won instead of the blonde. I even said blonde would probably come in last, with red first, and black second. I got trolled and flamed to death..

So.. After BioWare noticed that a lot of people voted on the blonde solely for the style, they decided to let people vote for the hair color as well. Guess what happened.. Exactly. Blonde came in last, red first, black second...

Women don't make good front line combat soldiers, while blonds make excellent soldiers.  Women are only in these roles in video games due to 1:  gamer fantasy  2:  They'd be invisible in the game otherwise

Neither of those should have ever taken place, even more so the second one. "Crowd-sourcing" something like this was just a stupid idea. Bioware should've just said "Here is your canon Femshep. Deal with it". Video game development is not a democracy, people.

This is a separate issue from hatred of blondes.

Aren't the issues that make front line soldiering problematic for women today irrelevant with the technology in ME?
