The Hades 2 Hestia Backlash emerged shortly after the Early Access release of Supergiant Games' sequel, centering on the character design of the Goddess of the Hearth. While some users on social media complained that Hestia did not fit the conventional beauty standards often seen in other media portrayals of Greek deities, a vast majority of the community rallied to defend her unique, stout, and grandmotherly appearance as lore-accurate and refreshing. The meme is now used to highlight the absurdity of modern gaming discourse, specifically targeting those who complain about character diversity, while also celebrating Hestia’s warm and distinct personality within the Hades universe.
