Yes the artist retweeted a post from a friend who supported Megalia, the koreans being koreans over reacted to the point of insanity, so they pulled her for now. and might not use that artist's works till the events cool down.

Devs said that they won't be using the drawing "AT ALL" so even if they release K7, this drawing's never coming back.
She totally deserved it though. Should've made second thoughts before liking a group that goes around murdering people in public.
Anyway, they're just biting the hand that feeds them. You'd think people would learn from the incident 2 years ago. People weren't joking when they said twitter's a bird that eats your brain.
So from what I can find, a bunch of people go on a witchunt because they decided that a "radical feminist" would totally draw art for a game where you collect anime girls like a crazy catlady and their clothes get shot off, the devs investigated and cleared the artist of wrongdoing, but the players still lose out on content because the devs don't want to provoke the morons who got a hair up their butts. Ridiculous.
The way i see things, the was the fault of the Megalia followers and sexist male online users. The former for thinking the only way to gets equal rights for women in South Korea is by being a man hating group doing horrible things and the latter for unable to let go of their country's patriarchy beliefs and thinking feminism is the same as Misandry just like how some Americans views Socialism is the same as Communism.
In the end, the people who got screwed were the artist who had no connection to Megalia and their extremist views, has her reputation ruined only because rabid online users cannot tell the difference between those who want equal rights and those that hate the other sex, and the fans of the game, who won't get a cool new character because of this whole thing happening in South Korea.
That is a real shame. Personally what people believe or do in their private life shouldn't have any affect on their work. For example I often hire a tailor who is a member of the group Black Lives Matters as well as Black Panthers. Even though I don't like either organizations, that is his own business.
The company I work for has a basic set of guidelines: -Train hard -Complete your objectives -Don't embarrass the company
What you do out of your company uniform should be on you and only you. As long as you aren't representing the business, why should it matter what you believe or do on your own time?
