Don't get me wrong, I'm very much supportive of differing body types among females, I just feel like it's being implemented in a very forced sort of way, and I dislike that Riot seems to be discrediting the fact that those "pretty" girls (I don't think I need to specify what I mean by that anymore) are just as comfortable with who they are as Illaoi.

This subject is honestly a conflicting one for me that I'm hesitant to comment on, because I'm afraid I won't really be able to get my viewpoint across. and not fully explaining something like this is a quick way to be offensive in matters that are so controversial.

I specified feminazis there, because by my understanding that's the general term for the feminazis that don't actually want equal rights so much as they want to be in control or have power over men.

Let me just state bluntly that I don't have a problem with the addition of Illaoi or Kalista (although I feel Kalista was lazy, and I still believe that Rek'sai should've just been an it), my problem is, and this applies to quite a few things currently, with people that look average to great being written off as less strong with personality or character than those with some sort of strange look that breaks the norm. That's not equality, that's just a different type of segregation, and while I don't want to bring the slippery slope fallacy into this, I do worry that it may get out of hand.

Tl:dr; I'm concered about how the characterization of "unique" females may affect biases into the future.

Although honestly, it would be better if little girls ate and worked out a bunch to look like Illaoi instead of starving themselves to death, so a large part of my worries may just be more so fear of the possibilities rather than fear of the likely outcomes. Meh, if something similar to what I'm worried about does end up happening in a few years I'll be sure to say I told you so. Otherwise, I'd be happy as long as these characters are fleshed out to be characters as much as the other females of League (I don't believe that's asking for too much). Strange appearance doesn't equal a personality, and it shouldn't ever be used in place of actual characterization. Laziness like that offends me even more than the most overused stock of characters(Hello Talon).
