@Downie's comment on 'Pokemon Go changes all :!marseytrain:s' avatars to what they look like in real life :marseypikachu: :marseytrans2genocide:'

Here's what they're talking about:

It's not even "body type" anymore, you're just a weird enby blob no matter what you do

I'm trans and these new avatars are literally what I look like IRL 😭 I wanna escape reality with this game, not be faced with the hard truth that my body is a deformed mess 😔

:marseylaughpoundfist:

i honestly feel this exact same way, i loved my character actually looking fem, not a weird mad body with a chest 😭😭😭

:marseylaughpoundfist:

Non-binary transmasc and I'm not even having a good time with it, my poor avatar is all lumpy, squat, and chesty now, idk how to make him like before :(

:marseylaughpoundfist:

Also not cis, transmasc. I don't know what it is but the fact that I can't make it look like “me” is REALLY bothering me. None of the clothes look the way I want them too, and I feel like half the outfits just make it… obvious that I'm female? If that makes sense??? It's hard to explain. It literally drags all my insecurities front and center

:marseylaughpoundfist:

this fr. they took everything I enjoyed presenting femininely, along with forcing awful proportions. managing to go from affirming to disturbing is something else.

:marseylaughpoundfist:

Will this finally make devs stop uglifying your avatar options? Will the boob slider come back? :marseyhope: !g*mers !chuds
