My Makeship campaign has been extended! You have 2 WEEKS LEFT to get the Rev bunny fumo!
The campaign is currently fully funded, so make sure to get it for yourself, or gift it to a friend!

"Your avatar can now look more like you!" I have never made a game character that even closely resembles myself. I want an escape, not a reinforcement of reality.

[auragirl]

"Your avatar can look even more like YOU!" So, they're saying their players are hideous abominations? Because that's what this comes across as.

[Stephain]

As a woman I feel like we are being cancelled for not being androgynous enough or looking like 16 year old boys.

[VoidBL]

Makes all characters ugly.
Dev says "you can now look more like yourselves".
They basically called everyone in their player base ugly lmao.

If you dive deeper into GaymerX you will find that their past 2 CEO's were removed due to misconduct & they have been in trouble with the IRS on a number of occasions. So what the hell is wrong with Niantic in deciding to partner up with such a terrible organization?

[IsaacFoster..]

They took away their breasts.
That's just hating natural women body.
Not even indirectly, directly.

[DrPokemon]

For an app that revolves around walking, there is a concerning amount of fat body types the avatar can have.

[LivingFire_BurningFlame]

In the grim dark of 2024, there are no men, there are no women, there is only, "THEM".

"... look more like you"

Bruh, what do you mean? Are you saying Im ugly? I want a beautiful character to represent me, beautiful people want representation too

[LuxiBelle]

"We want avatars that represent the players"
> the avatars are fat and ugly

What did Nintendo mean by this?

[KingFearless]

dont forget how they kicked that kid out the tournament because when he was asked what's his preferred pronouns he nervously laughed and said *He, Him* people need to be done 100% and never look back.

[thejaegerbomber]

"Now, your avatar can look even more like you."

That sentence goes immediately out the window if the player is an attractive and beautiful woman.

[PlayerOne.StartGame]

Two legacy IP's are being destroyed this week to push "inclusive gaming" 40k and Pokemon. Take me off this ride, please.

[fajile]

They put the women under a massive hot press that melted their chest and ass off, also playdouhed their face.

[TheRose]

Bro I work out and have DDs. None of those look like me. "Women can't have tiddies and are fat" is a wild take.

[RM_VFX]

Niantic: Now your avatar can look like you!
Players: I'm a 15 yo girl, why do I have a dad body with poopy pants?

[scifriskyxy]

This is my body type as a woman, and I HATE this they say beautiful women would end up causing women to harm themselves. I wanna pull my hair out seeing this bullshit. I dont like being reminded how ugly I am.

The only saving grace I have is that i dont play this anyways, but ruining the pokemon brand like this would likely have severe consequences to their licenses, wouldn't it?

[TEKITOcreations]

The best part is that people can't write off the criticism as being just from "porn addicted men." I've seen just as many girls upset about this change as guys!

[jeanmouloude]

”your avatar can now look even more like you !"
As a ghoul from fallout, i find this insulting.
