Controversy over the sexualization of the female character in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Controversy around PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, in this case due to the sexualization of the female character, which has forced Brendan Greene to apologize.

These days there is much talk about PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the better, since today it is launched for the Xbox One and next December 20 it will bring Version 1.0 to Steam, with the new Miramar map and new vehicles. Well, a controversy has crept into this great moment for the game, specifically it has to do with the female character in the game, which when wearing underwear, is too tight and reveals the shape of the genitals, a form known as 'cameltoe'.

Naturally, upon discovering this fact, there has been quite a fuss about the indecent sexualisation of this character, which has caused a strong outrage on social networks and which, logically, has not been overlooked by the developers. It has had to be Brendan Greene who comes to the forefront of this controversy and to explain this conflict, publishing a tweet through the official account of the game: «After making enquiries, it seems that this arrived as part of a character model that we received from an external artist when we were starting with the project. The file had not been modified in 2 years. We will update it soon! Sorry for any offence caused!»

It should be noted that the game will be available to play on the Xbox One in Spain at 23:00 p.m. and on December 20 it will arrive in version 1.0 on Steam, ceasing to be in Early Access and it will be expected when Miramar arrives officially. The game, which on Steam has reached around 2.9 million simultaneous players, could reach 3.5 million simultaneous players, due to the arrival of the new map.
