Mighty Number 9

Non-cis character design.

Mighty No. 9 is a Mega Man rip-off being made by the original creator of the series (Keiji Inafune) funded by Kickstarter after he quit Capcom for spending past decade dragging the franchise through the mud. It raised close to $4M and is planned for both PC and console release. Some fanboys were so excited they donated fucking ten thousand dollars out of their child's college fund, which leads one to wonder why manchildren are allowed to play with money.

Crowdsourcing

By taking his idea to Kickstarter, Keiji ensured that he would not have to seek traditional investors who would make selfish demands such as a cut of the profits. Instead, he took it to the internet, where he could instead call the investors "donators" and repay them with stickers, fanart, and a super speshul forum.

Feminists Take Over

A massive shitstorm ensued after Keiji hired a loud-mouthed feminist {[[Powerword|Dina Abou Karam], who had been spamming the forums with gender equality fanart, to lead both the community development and character design for the game. This did not sit well with the fedora army that populated the boards, and they expressed their dismay by smearing Cheetos and belligerent ranting across the tubes.

Dina and her team of whiteknights responding in the most professional way possible, by editing the hate and pretending it never happened. Clearly, the cis scum do not understand the importance of strong, sexy female robots that don't need no man.
