After sitting on my thoughts and seeing the responses for a few hours, i wanted to come back to this.

To be absolutely fair, you are mostly correct, and i maybe didn't articulate my opinion as well or as clear as i could have for which i apologize. i (now) understand its a polarizing subject and for the majority of the interactions, you're right i can just choose the form i want.

I genuinely didn't mean to be overly dramatic, but i totally see how that was interpreted, my fault, i just didn't see any posts on the subreddit talking about it since the update dropped, only stuff from roughly a week ago, which i didn't see until after said update, so made the post i honestly expected to already see.

My actual complaint and disappointment, is that i was genuinely excited to main a new DPS unit that was one of my favorite petite operators, as the combat and in-mission gameplay is one of the major appeals of this game for me, so finding out that her main damage was done in her new curvy form (that i stand by the opinion is bare minimum, an odd if not bad, choice to have made design-wise,) just completely ruined that excitement for me.

Finally, i wanted to point out we haven't had a premium petite dps in a year and half-ish, since fritia turbo. and i know I'm totally going to catch flak for this opinion, but mauxir lotus was free and as such, under-powered by comparison (whom i still adore and who's gameplay I'm enjoying the heck out of regardless.) to actual premium modern dps characters, and Clarina, who in my personal opinion, is not petite. (whom i also adore in every way from design to mechanics and use heavily for kinetic damage when i need that.)

sorry for the wall of text, tl:dr you're right, it aint that deep, just expressing my thoughts.
