"So, Taliyah's video is out and we all had a look at her face (omg freckles). Most reactions have been extremely positive. "

"I want to take a moment to talk about some less-than-positive and downright awful reactions."

"League has a less than perfect record objectifying lady champions."

"There's nothing wrong with a champion putting her sexuality front and center if that's what they're about. MF and Ahri? Makes total sense. "

"The problem isn't that there were some objectified women, but that there was NOTHING ELSE (if not a child/yordle). "

"Restricting body types is limiting to us as creators. We can only make the one type? Screw this. "

"Our more recent ladies have been much more interesting. From Kalista's monstrous looks to Reksai being an actual monster..."

"From Illaoi's badass broken-bones-teach-better-lessons-than-sermons looks to Lamb's ethereal animal-like take on gentle death. "

"Those takes not your cup of tea? Cool! We already have 33 sexualized women in the game (I went and counted). "

"I'm certain we will make a sexy lady again in the future. She will own it, and it will make sense for her. "

"Taliyah is a young girl struggling with an elemental power unlike anything anyone's ever seen before. "

"She's a girl struggling with protecting her loved ones from an ancient power vs worrying that SHE will hurt them."

"She's a girl coming of age in a time of strife centered on her homeland, and her journey is one of mastery over her power. "

"Where in that does it say "and meanwhile I'm going to get sexy for my date at the Shurima social"? "

"Look at how cohesive all of Taliyah is. Who she is, what she does, what she looks like..."
