Please Remove Creepy Doll Banner from Launcher

I know Y'shtola is a beloved character. I know y'all love collaboration and branding. But seriously, if y'all can change the Sage icon because people have a holes phobia, you can stop bombarding every single person who logs in with this horrifyingly eerie uncanny valley doll face. There was an evolutionary reason that humanity has a deep seated fear of things that look mostly human but aren't imprinted into our genome. You're disconcerting more people than a hole phobia here. Make it go away.

Toddler made toddler body and glam. I live with a smol human. Next poor take!

Nothing about the doll is "Uncanny Valley" The term "Uncanny Valley" means something that is just slightly off looking perfectly normal, but that slightly-off difference causes the observer to be disturbed in some way.

Nothing about the new collab doll is even close to qualifying as "Uncanny Valley"

It's not my style (or my price range, holy hell), but I don't see how it's uncanny valley.

It's really well-made, my only issue with it is that it doesn't look like Y'shtola.

Yup, the doll looks mostly human, but def deformed and inhuman (both by virtue of it being a doll and by it being done in an anime style) in ways some may find uncanny.
Term fits even if you personally don't find it uncanny.

SE needs your money, only 1170€... Please...

The launcher has always been used to advertise their store, that's how it is.

I won't buy it even at 30€, the face doesn't look very Y'shtola.

Ps: I think scaring a potato is a great reason to keep it there.

Do I like the doll? Not really. But I just don't like dolls. Still, it is SE's right to promote whatever they want on the launcher that is related to the game. It doesn't bother me.

Honestly, to me it just looks like a child cosplaying as Y'shtola.
