i wonder what happened to plainjane femshep..u know? the female shepard default we've had for the last 2 games?


Confirmed during that whole fiasco that she would still be an option in the character creator.

Which made people ask why you would want to have a new FemShep look as much like the old one as possible.

The poll was more embarrassing for people on the BSN than bioware, I've never seen more people complain about having a tangible affect on the development of a game.

It shouldn't of been up to a vote. They should've just made one and never given anyone an option.

Its not like anyone voted for Mark Vanderloo's look for DudeShep.

I still think its incredibly bigoted that so many people were against a blonde FemShep. Honestly, people need to have a good hard look at themselves and their prejudices.

I play a blonde FemShep and she kicks ass and chews bubblegum...and she's all out of bubblegum.

You could say the same about a red-haired femshep. Or a black femshep.

This.

I'm not planning to use the "default femShep", over the years I've grown fond to the so called "generic femShep".
Wich is nowhere generic, BTW.

True to be told I wasn't even aware that a poll was created to choose the default Shepard, but the results left something to be desired, in my opinion of course.

You want me to trade this for the new one?
No way!

I voted for Rhianna/Emo Shepard.  Then I voted Red headed Shepard.

The power of loud Femshep fans is surprising, isn't it? Bioware should just've made a default Femshep, without asking anyone. Much quicker.

Yes but no one denigrates those two for being airheads/bimbos/what have you.

Ludicrous.

People were literally saying that because the blonde Femshep won, she was now reduced to being stupid and had should have no part in combat.

I kid you not. It was disgusting.

is there any guy here that actually complained about FemShep being a blonde?


I don't know about everyone here because not everyone's gender is immediately apparent but I paid attention to the Facebook threads that Bioware created, and many were males. I also recall comments sections on video game blogs where people spoke out as men who didn't like the nature of the contest and/or expressed the misigivings I mentioned earlier about the initial blonde Shep.

The OP's question was insincere and facetious, though. I'm familiar with his views on women and he's trying to prove some misguided point that if its only women who complained it can be brushed off as merely white noise (cuz they yak so much anyways). Somehow a woman's take on a woman character is irrelevant and oppresses his man freedoms or something. My first post here was meant to be aimed at general threadgoers and not really engage in the OP's nonsense, but still, I won't shy away from calling it out.




Nice to have one of our resident BSN misandrists chime in. always a pleasure.

Knowing that Jennifer Hale herself said she sees Femshep as a Redhead even before the polls, I do not see the problem. :D

Sure. You decide to chime in, claiming to know what my views on women are, oh really? What exactly are my views on women?

Yes. Crazy FEMSHEP STRONG!!1 feminist types complanied that blond hair was some sort of chauvinistic pro-aryan racism or something.

It was the perfect example of how insane this community is.

Maybe Bioware actually bought into that crap, maybe they pitied them because redheads have no souls, I don't know.


Or maybe... redheads are just way better looking than blondes? I know I personally voted redhead because I like redheads, not because I don't like blondes. I actually don't have anything against blondes. I am also quite certain most people voted for what they geniunely liked, rather than because of some weird blonde hating scheme to ruin your life...

I like the coy "Who me?" routine. You've been more than happy to volunteer those views on previous (seems almost every) Femshep threads and Abraham_uk's blog thread. And all of it together puts this thread, along with the following charming bit, into context:

I assume it was women who complained? Am I right?


But that's cool. I generally give everyone online the benefit of the doubt about wanting to engage in meaningful, in-good-faith discussions or debates until they actively show that they don't. Random Jerkface nailed it, though, and much more succinctly. I'm so goddamn bad at succinct. But hey, at least I came away with that "misandrist" gem for my troubles. That one's definitely going in the random anecdote file.

Tried refuting anything I posed on Abrahams's blog? No, didn't think so, oh, and I still haven't heard what my views are on women. Random Jerkface nailed nothing. I am still waiting to hear what my 'views' are on women, since you claimed to know them.

It's ok, you're clearly too cool to engage me, far too soignée, sophisticated and intelligent to enage a male brute such as myself.

Entirely quoting posts right above yourself is weird. Why do so many people do that? The worst is when the second post in a thread has a quote block of an especially ginormous original post.
