We, the concerned members of the Expansion and Weight Gain Fetish Community, are calling for the immediate removal of Alice Nikumaru from her position as the Weight Gain dateable in the Growth Academy Visual Novel. This petition aims to shed light on several issues that have arisen under her inclusion and provide compelling reasons for her dismissal and replacement with a fully east asian alternative.

1. Questionable Design Choices and Consequences Therein:
   Alice's status as the caucasian member of an otherwise all Asian Cast, especially considering the diverse body types, has sprung a number of bad faith interpretations to the character, including the character being used by a Hate Forum known as "No Fat Chinks" as an example of plus sized asian erasure and an example of justifiably cyberbullying asian BBW Models.
   
   2. Negative Impact on our Well-being:
   The well-being of members of our community should be paramount; unfortunately, the contention brought about by her inclusion into the Growth Academy project has undermined this. Reports indicate an increase in arguements, harrassements in artists servers, and threats of doxxing over a percieved support of the character. We find this inappropriate.
   
   We urge the Growth Academy devs and relevant fanartists to consider this petition seriously and take appropriate action in the best interest of our communities harmony. Just because this is a fetish community doesn't mean it's justifiably written of as not worth preserving good standards.
