    Were they? Has there been a survey or something? Because going off letters wrote or something is a pretty bad metric to judge the opinion of any general population,because guess who would be the people most motivated to voice their opinion. Whatever fraction of the observed population they make up can’t really be derived from that. (Also holds true for social media today)

      Did some googling. Seems like the average reaction at the time was confusion about how or why Samus “turned into a woman”. Some people got mad, but most people just didn’t comprehend what happened. Some things never change, I guess.
