Tongue-in-cheek complaints on the official forums about the exclusion of "buttcapes" have led to developers such as [[JLove]] and [[Back Alley Brawler (Developer)|Back Alley Brawler]] joking about writing letters to the people in charge (i.e. themselves) with letters starting with "Dear jerks".

Ghost Widow and her Night Widows wearing "buttcapes"

"Buttcape" is a frequently-used term which refers to the flowing cape-like garments most Widows and Fortunatas wear, which extends from the waist to the ankles. It bears similarities to the cape design "Fortune", but obviously, worn from the waist. All of the current Widow NPCs who offer missions, such as Ghost Widow and Seer Marino, wear the "buttcape".

In out-of-game usage, it would be commonly called a coattail.

Much to the dissatisfaction of a large majority of the players, Arachnos Widow, the villain epic archetype, did not come with the option of having the "buttcape" as a costume choice.

Tongue-in-cheek complaints on the official forums about the exclusion of "buttcapes" have led to developer JLove responding to a post with:

Someone should write those jerks a letter!

Developer Back Alley Brawler then responded to JLove with:

Dear jerks,
Where da hell are my buttcapes?

JLove recently made a post [1] saying female Arachnos Widows in Issue 14 would now have their "buttcapes", as it was apparently a costume bug. So far, there has been no responses to queries about male Arachnos Widows, however.
