You might find the implication that pretty blonde women can’t be heroes to be downright closed-minded. The whole situation drips with male gaze, and it’s just unfair. Replacing her with a younger, saucier version feels unnecessary and antithetical to everything that makes Commander Shepard great. Commander Shepard exists within a galaxy in which her merits matter far more than her makeup. She was not born of the need for another fantasy object. She’s a tough, do-or-die galactic soldier, for goodness’ sake. The appeal of playing Shepard as a woman is that she isn’t some buxom, pouting space bunny with inconvenient armor. You might find the whole idea of a sultry blond Commander Shepard to be ridiculous. If so, you likely fall into one of two camps. Over the past few weeks, you may have found yourself preoccupied with the color of Commander Shepard’s hair.
