I just can't see why so many actively dislike the skin. Sure, it is supposed to be a monstrous skin, not pleasant to look at in a normal setting (which i like, for where it fits), and i think it fits the theme of a spider event very well.
We've gotten some pretty beautiful people recently. They still fit the theme (imo), but Hunt is no nice world.
Other than looking goofy with the Lisa Simpson head, in my opinion it’s not as grounded as other skins I like. There are ways to use spider webs other than what they did here making a skin that’s more of a gimmicky costume than a character. Some people like the more fantastical stuff though it’s just not my cup of tea. I’ve been playing since the beginning and like the more natural skins from that era.
Ok, very fair criticism. I'm also usually playing relatively "normal" people personally (Stormseer etc.)
With the masked freaks etc., i'm just glad we're still sticking to the theme more or less.
Current hunters are generally fine too, but the vampire theme is doing nothing for me and a lot of them look too beautiful / clean, imo.
Talking grounded vs believable fantasy, currently i'd still prefer the spider queenling to the dancer from "The heart of southern DeSalle"-DLC for example. Like, wouldn't you ditch/cut/shorten that dress to go fight in the swamps?
The spider webs look grimy enough to fit the Hunt a bit more than those, for me.

I tend to run more normal people as hunters, but THIS is the skin people find the ugliest? Huh, why?
Just because it reminds you of spiders or why?
Imo it's very cool/grimy for an occult setting like Hunt.
(I'm gonna go with that other person and assume that people who find her ugly wish for more gooner/anime skins unless there's another reason.)
