9. Removing Breast Sliders & Revealing Costumes In Xenoblade Chronicles X

Okay, now this is dumb, not because we need even more oversized female appendages in games, but because there was even a remote backlash to removing "breast sliders" in the first place.

Coming when Xenoblade Chronicles X was localised for western regions (because somehow NTSC regions are just left to be rampaging horndogs), the breasts of female protagonists were no longer customisable. Fans quickly took to forums across the land to express their annoyance, with some even going out their way to delve into side-by-side comparisons of other builds, just to see where Nintendo locked those boobs down.

Alongside this, a number of revealing swimsuits for character Lin were removed, further adding to the "outrage" as "all people wanted to do" was alter the breast sizes of various girls, before slipping them into costumes designed purely to be ogled at.

You can argue all day and night about sex appeal's place in entertainment, but getting genuinely infuriated over customisable breast size? Come on.
