As rage factories howl about Kay Vess' looks, Star Wars Outlaws lead says there's no point engaging with 'bad faith' criticism: 'No nuance and no possibility of real dialogue'

The protagonist from Star Wars Outlaws, a scruffy scoundrel, looks determined with her cute axolotl-like alien pet on her shoulder.

Star Wars Outlaws is almost here, and you know what that means: It's nearly time to crouch-walk your way into saving the galaxy and—so says our own Morgan Park—actually have a pretty good time doing so.

But Star Wars Outlaws features a woman as its protagonist, which means it's also time for the strangest corners of the internet to spin up some of the most baffling discourse they can. In this instance, a minority of very loud commentators have complained that devs have made Outlaws' protagonist Kay Vess deliberately unattractive in order to further some kind of progressive political agenda. Somehow. Perhaps Ubisoft character designers are the engineers of the human soul.
