For a game built around the Worf Effect? (Worf Effect - create a traditionally powerful seeming character to consistently lose as to establish the dire situation - i.e. Ethan the PC is a bad ass, but the bosses are death machines)
Consider, at the time of release, we were waiting on F7, Crow/Swan finale, the Claus update, a side game, and Heelfall was released! Then, we meet a literal clown who's gear is near impossible to buy outright as a tease, cannot be traditionally fought due to her ability to invert your damage dealt, and just makes a mockery out of you the player instead of the PC. People were not ready to be meta-insulted, which it comes across as.
I admit I don't hate her as much as some seem to, but I also don't like her or enjoy that length of content. I do see the nature of the anger, and simple pot-shots at appearance rather than in-depth exploration of grievances is kind of what the internet is for?
