heartbroken that catalyst apex legends and bloodhound apex legends are not on here </3 may this ask be sent in their honor

catalyst was featured in the original poll; and we deliberated over featuring bloodhound.

our conclusion was made on the basis of catalyst being voiced by a transgender actress in addition to being a transgender character; we both felt that duplicates from the same series would be unfair to other characters that could have been featured, and that ended up being the deciding factor for catalysts inclusion over bloodhound.

congratulations to our winners: sun wukong in first place, arcee in second (after beating out oryx in a poll for it) and oryx in third! thanks for voting, everybody, and keep an eye out for our next poll !

congratulations to ARCEE for winning the finals of the losers' bracket! but here comes the real question: who's going to be tonight's big loser the real winner of second place? our last second place-r or her?

while we're figuring out our second place winner, i've went ahead and made up a form for our second bracket: badass trans coded character poll!

our criteria is similar (characters must be fictional, be wary of caricature & stereotype, etc), however we will not be including characters that outwardly said to be transgender or habe a storyline that is explicitly meant to refer to transness / "changing" their gender: that was for the first poll. reasoning provided may be used in the posts with the actual matchups, so please make it clear!

form here! happy submitting!
