First of all, no, it's not misogyny, I believe women and men are equal and should have the same rights. And I don't have a problem with synthesis, another genderbent og pass skin
Yes, I understand genderbent skins have been in the shop for ages, plague and scourge, raven and ravage, rex and saura.... And I have no problem with them, because they're SHOP skins
But for an og pass that is supposed to honor a season and it's characters, I feel like it's a disrespect to x lord letting him out and putting his sister Bethany on the pass
Worst of all, there is not a single rust lord shop skin, except for Balenciaga rust lord, which has an ugly mohawk thing on his helmet, and roast lord, who is from a real money pack that just skipped its yearly summer rotation so who knows when it'll return
And the skin they selected? The whole point of X lord is that he's a jacked dude without a shirt. That's it, that's what makes the whole character. Guess what? A women can't be a shirtless jacked dude because woman can't be shirtless on a kids game. So it breaks the whole character design.
They could've genderbent ultima knight or the scientist SINCE THE POINT OF THEIR DESIGNS IS NOT BEING SHIRTLESS JACKED DUDES
But you know what? I'd forgive it's existence IF IT WASN'T SUCH A BORE
THAT'S IT, THE PROBLEM WITH THIS REMIX, IT HAS NOTHING MILDLY INTERESTING. That's why I don't have a problem with synthesis, because at least that design is INTERESTING and keeps all the things that made hybrid ICONIC
No tattoos, no muscles, no long hoodie, a pointless braid coming out of the helmet that looks HORRIBLE, no shirtless jacked dude, NOTHING
JUST GIVE ME AN X LORD WITH NOTHING
Not only did they skip rust lord on HIS season, but now that they have the chance to actually put him in it's not even him but his sister Bethany
And it hurts me, since the lineup had so much potential, they picked 3 of the 4 best skins they could've picked, but they had to fuck it up somehow
Oh and don't get me started on the catalyst WITHOUT A COAT, THE SECOND MOST ICONIC THING ON A FOX CLAN MEMBER BEHIND THE OBVIOUS FOX MASK
So yeah, I'll be waiting til the magma masters pack rotates back into the shop so I can finally have a true rust lord remix and an omega remix since I'm still pissed they chose two boring normal girls with boring normal clothes over a badass Viking with a monster skeleton for head
