I am at bit confused at the "does not really fit with the characters we want to add", with the spotted hyena standing there very prominently.

I am genuinely curious as to what lead to the process of picking one of the very few mammal species that have females with a (pseudo-)penis and are strongly associated with it, but then utterly ignore that fact when coming up with her character design.

Were you simply not aware of this fact or did a lot of time pass between choosing the characters' species and writing their lines?

I’m not sure whether the underlying point is being overlooked or simply disregarded at this stage, but I would encourage you to consider the possibility that the absence of a particular anatomical feature in a fictional character may be an intentional creative decision, rather than an open invitation for unsolicited modification proposals.

Respectfully, not every creative choice needs to align with your personal preferences, and the expectation that others should accommodate them by default reflects a rather narrow understanding of creative autonomy.

I would also recommend taking a step back and evaluating the amount of time and energy being invested in this particular fixation. At some point, it becomes worthwhile to conduct a personal performance review and ask whether the priorities currently receiving so much attention are actually contributing to the individual you intend to become over the next five years.

Ultimately, I would encourage some honest reflection on whether this is a direction you will genuinely be proud to have pursued, or whether you may eventually look back and recognize that you spent an unreasonable amount of time advocating for fictional character redesigns that nobody was obligated to entertain in the first place.

I trust this provides sufficient clarity on the matter, and I encourage you to treat it as an opportunity for professional development.

"personal performance review" "opportunity for professional development"?
Why are you using a chatbot to write itch comments for you?
I am at a loss for words at how low we've fallen, honestly.

I asked, because i was, as mentioned, genuinely curious how this character setting came about.
A question like that either gets a reply that lets me better understand a dev's creative process and relate to them, or gets ignored - thats it.

This isn't something to write 200+ word blocks over, nor something that justifes booting up the content theft machine to have it generate jarringly condescending corpo-speak.
I'd "encourage some honest reflection" on what the hell you're doing, using an LLM to write your social media/game platform comments for you.

My advice at this point would be taking a deep breath, deleting my chatgpt or whatever account because its definitely not doing any favors and trying not to start fights in comment sections over nothing.
Your call, though i expect you'd be noticeably happier following my advice,

For the sake of professional clarity, I would like to highlight a few inconsistencies in your current position.

I am not the individual relying on a large language model to formulate an argument, nor am I repeatedly advocating for specific anatomical modifications to a character in a game over which I have no creative ownership or development responsibilities.

Furthermore, the decision to engage multiple times across separate comment threads in support of the same personal anatomical preference raises questions regarding the proportionality of this investment and the extent to which it reflects a constructive contribution to the discussion.

At this point, I would strongly recommend conducting an internal review of your approach, reassessing your priorities, and considering whether the level of commitment demonstrated here is genuinely aligned with the standards of judgment you would like to be associated with.

I encourage you to take a step back, recalibrate your approach, and consider whether this is truly the professional legacy you intend to establish for yourself. Because, respectfully, the current trajectory does not inspire confidence in the decision-making process.

Could be they just ain't that into futa, and they like the aesthetic of hyenas and thought it fit a muscle tomboy. Just because female hyenas in real life have pseudo cocks doesn't mean they must always be futa. Its a game where you wake up to a furry wonderland, real life doesn't fucking matter.
