Open Letter to the Devs Regarding Eden's Verse: Reflugence [Spoilers]

How.... I mean... that has to be a joke right?
How do people keep overreacting to everything and getting offended by every little thing. How do you even think about this kind of thing seeing this fight? The only thing going through my mind when i was doing it was "goddamnit why is that red eye above her head so small" and "Haha we have to turn around when she use "redress" that's clever! "
I honestly believe that this sort a topic/complaints are the one sexualizing her and if that's the only thing you can think of when you see it, you might be the problem....

You need to bear in mind that English-speaking cultures are quite diverse. Some are liberal and permissive, others much more conservative. If something makes people feel uncomfortable, then they should be able to say so without being accused of having a 'problem' attitude.
My country has had numerous child-abuse and grooming scandals over the past decade, and more cases are coming to light. I definitely think that's contributed to my own feelings of discomfort in this case.

As I said above, the fact that we don't have a definite age for Ryne isn't helping matters. If she is underage, then I would definitely say there's an 'ick' factor in how she's portrayed in the raid, for me. What is appropriate for an adult isn't always appropriate for a minor (even a fictional one). Similarly, if she is an adult then I don't have an issue with it. Unfortunately we're just guessing which category Ryne falls into.

But that's my point, it shouldn't matter.
We are playing a game, there is no nudity involved, nothing sexual except what people will attach to her. And if we really want to nitpick she is not herself in this fight, she's representing an incarnation, old enough to be our great great great grandma ^^"

I understand that sensibility on this kind of topic is completly subjective to the person, the environnement one grew up in, and the current political correctness globally recognised, but if we really have to mind everyone and everything and every sensibility / special case/ on earth we're going to have bland characters, without any personality, without any form , some genderless blob, every next ennemies is going to be an amaurotian that way no one sensibility is going to get hurt.
I'm sorry really i do understand this point of view, and i don't want to sound like a jerk or aggressive but this kind of topic, in my opinion, just hold everyone back and does nothing to advance any kind of cause.
