		<description>Even fan-made, having it based on Nintendo's already released footage doesn't detract from my point -- the avatars that have been seen so far are all male-looking and with only one body shape. It's very likely that the final release 

&lt;blockquote&gt;I, too, would like to see more variety in some of the options available, but I think thatâ€™s caring a bit too much.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Read or re-read the discussion rules. Being dismissive is a no-no. This is your first, and only, warning.

Not to mention that maybe if you had grown up having to make do with avatars like you being underrepresented in the games that you played -- women, when they appear in games, are most times second fiddle to the hero of the story and/or hyper-sexualized in a way that makes it clear that they're main characters for &lt;i&gt;the guys&lt;/i&gt; and not those of us who want to have avatars like us -- you'd understand that, to some female gamers, having the ability to have an avatar that looks like us in chat and some games &lt;i&gt;isn't a small thing&lt;/i&gt;. And it's not up to you to decide how people should feel about a matter that doesn't affect you in any way.</description>

		<description>Hello. I wish to make two points. First, that 'leaked preview' is a fan-made creation based solely, I believe, on already-released Nintendo video footage. Second, is it not a bit much to let such a minor detail like avatar customizability put a "serious dent" into your desire to buy a console? I, too, would like to see more variety in some of the options available, but I think that's caring a bit too much.</description>

		<description>Eh, I got mine to look mostly like me, but I could wish for at least a fat type of body to choose from.  The thinner eyebrows seemed to be the key to androgyny on mine.  But given my choice, I'd rather be able to make a fat kitty to be my avatar.</description>
