I guarantee you it would be far simpler and raise far fewer bad ghosts just to retire the name "Venus" and all its sex doll baggage. We already have similar character reboots that were renamed to avoid a repeat of bad blood with fans. When Ninjara was rebooted, she was renamed (whose name literally just means "fox" in Greek), and Ninjara still wasn't even as divisive as Venus was. When the Super NES game TMNT Tournament Fighters was being developed, Aska was originally meant to be Mitsu, but they renamed her character after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III was so poorly-received. And I can't speak for anyone else about this particular case, but while I could never really stand any version of the Punk Frogs, I have no similar reservations against Toad Baron and his frog minions&mdash;I really like them, and I've told Sophie herself (who created them) how much more I like them than the Punk Frogs.
