without any context (are the options bad? You havent shown me), this just sounds like a typical entitled gamer dogpilewith some context (reading the angry replies on twitter) I reached the same conclusion, but with "weirdly transphobic" in addition to entitled

There's nothing transphobic or whiny about this. These new avatars are genuinely hideous. The new models look like developer pre-alpha placeholders and/or like someone pushed "random" on Fallout's character creator.Yeah I legitimately didn't even notice that the outrage is being attacked for being transphobic... that's not how I see the changes at all. They ruined the faces, trimmed back the skin colors, removed shapes, and made the sliders essentially break everything. I'm 100% pro trans rights and can't understand why hating the new designs means people are being transphobic.

There's nothing inherently transphobic about being upset by this.
opened up my game and I ok i haven't been keeping up but I seem the same?
surprised we got a boobs slider tho neat *pushes to max*
The new avatars are great, but the old ones were also completely deleted with no option to get that look anymore. That's what people are mad about.
If they actually removed existing customization options then that would be a legit gameplay reason to be upset (non-gender related), but then why wouldn't the TC have mentioned that in their first post instead of waiting for people to question it? Coming in on a bad note.Because I legitimately didn't (and still don't) see it as a gender issue.
B) on the transphobia websiteIt was just a link to the official post. Look at r/pokemongo. It's pages and pages of gripes and complaints. This isn't something isolated to twitter.
As I recall people were pretty excited about the sliders giving them more body type options as well, which also tends to tick off jerks.No one is looking at this and saying "holy shit they added sliders I hate this because of that reason." If they just added sliders and changed nothing else and people were mad, you would absolutely have a point.
People are mad because they destroyed the way the avatars look in addition to implementing poorly designed body sliders. The sliders are just one part of the bigger whole.Well you didn't say that before.
I want to see more picture comparisonsMy bad on that one lol
I felt very betrayed when I clicked on that imgur link and saw that instead of showing examples of the terrible avatars it showed a picture of what a ratio is.

Don't play Go so I have no skin in this
If you're gonna allow for customization, at least make it possible for someone's avatar to not look hideous. Literally every option I tried looks horrendousAlmost forgot that I was in the Go topic and not SV.
