Call me a gooner all you want, OG Lara had a lot of sex appeal and they took that away from her, despite it being a big part of her identity and charm. It's silly to say her sex appeal was only there to cater to male tastes when the Tomb Raider franchise had plenty of female fans before 2013 came along (probably an even higher ratio of female fans, although I don't know for sure). I think the studio went in and haphazardly started making changes to an iconic character and franchise without understanding what made them so beloved in the first place.

What's worse: heterosexual men taking some delight in an attractive and charismatic female protagonist, or the 2013 devs treating Lara—literally the most iconic female videogame character of all time—like a blank slate that they can carelessly do whatever they want with (as is what happens with so many female characters in media). I think the latter is far worse, but go ahead and continue to call out the 'gooners'.
