“There was a current misunderstanding.” Stated Alexandria. “Anyone that thinks the skins are going away isn’t within the loop. Habits is allegedly conscious of the mass transphobic remarks and memes being made, and the gaming neighborhood isn’t a mirrored image of the sport builders. I wasn’t saved within the loop with what the characters ultimate look could be, I used to be given an ambiguous description for the half, and although I attempted my finest to search out out extra, regularly asking for more information, that wasn’t potential. Because of this I used to be upset. The skins themselves had been by no means the problem. Lack of communication was.
Please STOP “Boycotting” Habits. They’re NOT transphobic, it’s improper to take bits of information and leap to your individual conclusions. Habits is an efficient firm, and has been nothing however type and supporting by way of this robust means of receiving mass harassment for my involvement within the character.”
