I’m sorry but I’m still really sad about this.

Abby’s size is so integral to her character and the backstory of her character. She channels all her trauma into getting strong. And becoming a machine because she wants to one up this- what she believes to be- monster that absolutely annihilated a whole hospital of armed soldiers single handly. And of course along with that, her dad.

And in a world where women are wildly more vulnerable, she is ensuring she is more powerful. She is strong and can defend herself and others.

It was also the fact she was such a fresh faced look on a woman in a video game. She wasn’t this skinny little badass ducking and diving around. She was huge. She was a damn machine and she didn’t appeal to the male gaze even remotely. And now they’ve just like totally washed all of that away. I know it’d be near impossible to get someone in reality her size, but to purposefully not get someone even slightly bulked up? It’s just sad.

This is no hate towards Kaitlyn at all. I’m sure she is going to do an amazing job, and this is a pissed post at Neil. And not Kaitlyn.

I’m just very sad to see one of my fav characters be reduced down to a practical shadow of what she is in the source material
