I don't rule out that there was that stuff, but I'm mainly referring to Sheeva and Sindel's treatment when they were added to the roster after I had bought the game. Their stories, characterization, and appearances were retconned into stupidity for modern-day political reasons. Two of my favorite characters are now, in the case of Sheeva, ugly and mannish as fuck, vociferously misandrist, and de-sexed. In the case of Sindel, de-sexed, uglified, and her redemption arc retconned as "she was evil the whole time" for a very stupid reasoning involving giving her total agency as a woman. "I was never duped into doing bad things, I was actually evil and you liking me when I came clean was the actual lie."

It especially sucked that Sheeva had an actual fun kit, but I was told in no uncertain terms in every round start and round end quote that she wasn't for me and she hated me and I should die.

Both were casualties of hiring a man-pretending-to-be-woman as a writer late into development. Fuck all of that noise.

Robocop and Rambo can't save a game that has already told me that it hates me. My fun is already killed.
