you provide no examples for your vague assertions.
I for once would actually love to have more passionate fieryr redheads as heroines and all - can't think of that many actually ...not sure what's so bad about it, or even dehumanizing...^^
Everything is better than blonde though ... ^^ Ah, time for another fictional redhead fiery sterotype love-interest I suppose!
SERIOUSLY. STOP WITH THE HAIR THREADS.

Tell me you don't spot a statistically unlikely number of redheads considering they're less than a fiftieth of the population. Then tell me that a suspicious number of those redheads don't have pretty much the exact same personality. Then tell me that those redheads resemble women who are common in real life. Then tell me that those fantastical near-identical redheads aren't consistently presented as the ideal women in their respective settings.
Cliché and dehumanizing. I do think redheads are getting all the love they need already. That is to say incredibly beautiful and passionate red-headed women of course. All the rest of you don't seem to have much actual representation.

Oh, Famke Janssen looks simply gorgeous as a redhead! Sophia Turner won't hold a candle to her as new Jean Grey, sorry Sansa! And Scarlett, true to your name, red hair suits you so well! And ... oh, I think I missed the point enirely of your post ... ah, I just google "redheaded super women" next ... let's see, oh damn, Arkham asylum Posin Ivy rocks so much ^^

Your Google search didn't exactly prove anything. Why don't you explain how redheads are any more prominent or stereotypical than blondes or brunettes in pop culture? Because they're certainly not. For every movie or show that presents the redhead as " the ideal women of their respective settings", I see a dozen brunettes represent the exact same thing.
I see blondes and brunettes everywhere I look. Maybe redheads happen to standout more to you due to the fact that they are less common. Maybe they're idealized because of the uncommon trait. Seems logical. I'd certainly notice a single red out of the dozens of blondes and brunettes. It's human nature.
Maybe name a single love interest in Mass Effect who has red hair....

Of course the "stand-out" factor of red hair is a reason. Red is a also simply signal-colur for danger, it also symbolizes heat, warmth, fire. Naturally in movies and most prominantly in comics artists will use this to their advantage, to further get across their char-traits visually. Just like black hair (night, darkness, mystery) or blonde (innocence, light, pureness) are often used for the same purpose. I mean how many blone villainesses do we see regularly ...
I think people are interpreting a bit too much in all this, and I never had a problem with "cliches" ... if we really avoid every cliche out of fear of being too cliche ... then avoiding the cliche becomes the cliche??
TL, DR - All power to redheads, but in Mass Effect that spot is reserved for my main char anyway. Sooooo....actually I am against redhaired female competitors in Andromeda ... ^^

Heh, now you've skipped right over "vague assertions" to ballfaced lies. You're saying that the ratio of idealized fictional women is 12 to 1 between brunettes and redheads? I imagine my shot-in-the-dark google search is more substantial and objective than anything you'll find to support that claim, not to mention that you were the one who asked for examples. And even if that was true, it would still be an unfair focus on redheads.
Redheads do stand out more, yes. Because they're less than two percent of the population. Meaning that for every accomplished redhead there are fifty just as accomplished brunettes and blondes, statistically speaking. Master race indeed... And hilariously, none of that is an argument for more redheads in fiction.
Shepard herself for one, Kelly Chambers for another, but my original point was that Mass Effect is actually pretty reasonable about keeping the redhead numbers vaguely realistic and I don't find the need for an increase in Andromeda just for the hell of it.

Yes, who needs originality anyway. Personally I find reading or watching the same things over and over again with slight variations incredibly boring, but maybe I'm just a snob.
Why is thread not yet filled with random gifs of hot redheads? BSN, you disappoint.
I posted one.

Dammit, Han. That's the one I was going to post.

glasses would be awkward to implement probably into the game

I know, but a man can dream. Currently the Fallout games are the only games that lets me play a redhead that can wear glasses, which actually gives me a freaking stat improvement. Make it happen Bioware.
I support all hair and colour types.

And grammar must have been your favorite subject. Don't see what it has to do with anything, but there you go.

Isn't FemShep supposed to be a readhead by default? (never played the default FemShep, mine was a readhead though, always was since ME1).
And...
Not sure of FemShep in this illustration is "canon" (I know this MaleShep is though), but if she is then there you go. One of the most recognizable female hero in video gaming history just happens to be a readhead. And she has green eyes, too (redhead + green eyes, that always makes me weak at the knees).
