Pokémon Go is being blasted for their new app update that seems to erase gendered avatars and replace them with genderless characters.
On April 17, the popular game Pokémon Go announced an app update to allow players to change their avatar’s appearance, which many online are pointing out is an attempt to push the LGBT agenda on children by making genderless game characters.
