For the cissies out there: you’re not a bad person for buying / playing this game if you didn’t know.

That last sentence was entirely there to accommodate cis fragility. :cissues:

Go read that post. The game is bad.

    Am I a bad person for not reading most of that and just assuming a big games corporation is bad by default?

    Like, yes they are bad about LGBTQ stuff, of course they are. But it's a symptom and not the disease. I would prefer it so much if people would buy in less into the identity politics side of...everything.

    Yes, I know it matters. Heck I am pansexual. I only get any representation in games because having a gay option for sex is a way for a game to have more content with little extra work. We made the sex scene anyway and not adding any restrictions to who can access it actually saves time!

    Yes, it matters .But what matters more is that every single programmer they employ had to crunch for months and months to make this game. I's okay to have this laser focus on trans issues. It's a necessary voice. But I really wish there was more then a one sentence mention of crunch in this entire thing. Can we maybe half and half the criticism? Like, how they forced all of them to do all this extra above and beyond work, only to make for us a transphobic pile of a game? How about that?

      No this matters just as much as that.

      Anti-bigotry is not identity politics.

        Fair enough. I stand by what i said though, because you can fight anti-bigotry all day long and it will never lead to an equal society. Because an equal society requires more then being equal in terms of how we treat sexuality.

        I guess the subset of us fighting that battle isn't actually as large as it appears, but because articles like this will rile up the chuds like clockwork they end up getting circulated more.
