You may be asking yourself, if you care, what the heck is up with all these redheaded avatars on Heroine Sheik. Here’s the thing: they’re all still me (you know, like you do), but the site looked boring with the same smirky Zelda attached to every post, so I’m trying to change thing’s up. No worries, I haven’t gone schizo or anything, at least not yet. And to put it frankly, I’ve got a thing for redheads. Also, I am one. I know, it’s messed up. It probably has something to do with being proud to see other women like you in art, and then realizing, well, that they’re hot. And since we’re on the topic, there’s a serious lack of redhead representation in video games. I demand equality :-).

I’m off tomorrow to NYC to check out the Nintendo World store, where I know a giant Pikachu will no longer wait for me, but hopefully other fun will. Also, an editorial at PGC is sure to ensue, promising good times for all ages. Actual video game gender and sexuality news coverage and commentary should be back online by Wednesday. In the meantime, if you’d like to say nice things about redheads in my absence, be my guest.

    It’s all good - I can’t think of many guys who *don’t* like redheads. Heck, I married one, so if that’s not proof of the goodness that redheads bring to the world, I don’t know what is.

    Well said :-).

    remember to bring your copy of pokemon, as i think they still have that machine that gives you a free rare pokemon.

    Darn it, I totally missed it… 13 minutes short of my own free rare pokemon (insert sad face here). Seriously though, that would have been a cool souvenir. Oh well, another time maybe. Thanks for the heads up, Reid.
