Have you actually watched credits? VERY often those little “blips” media clips actually do have credits listed for their source. Why are we all bellyaching about adding a single damn sentence attributing where something came from at your very endcredits scroll??

And that said, legally, written text and video are two…

I see a another transman already corrected you, but no, just because you’re blatantly ignorant of transmen issues doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

First off, to get it out of the way, I absolutely agree with all your points raised here, before something gets misunderstood and an internet argument boils up.

So I think to clarify what I’m saying, is that this is a TERF article at it’s core, right? That was the headline I rolled in on. TERFs also hurt transmen, in…

I feel this article, but damn, am I also a little hurt by the fact that the phrase “trans men” only seems to occur once. TERFs hurt that half of transgender people too, it sucks for everyone. FTM invisibility continues on.

To be clear, I never called you racist. I said that “playing the thought experiment game” is racist (sorta like how you can tell a racist joke without intending to, the action is racist and that is more what I was pointing out).

If you’re seriously saying a POC skintone choice, in a vacuum, is racist... yikes my dude. You need to think about that or articulate what you mean a little more.

Just as a thought experiment, what if playing the thought experiment game about this is racist in and of itself? In all seriousness.

Wild that so many people just flat assume that every transgender person ever is going male to female. Erasure sure sucks.

As a transgender person, maybe I can weigh in on this for you then on several points:

As far as I’ve seen, both amongst my immediate friends group and across the fanbase (to be fair, that I’m not a part of), the reaction was, “this game is absolute hamhanded trash, but I played it anyway. Connor forever.”

You might have “don’t want it to end syndrome” along with letting the game end lets, well, SPOILERS COUGH COUGH happen. If it makes you feel better, there’s an epilogue, and the last epilogue missions is one of the most metal ones there is.

I mean I totally agree, but I’m still holding out hope Sinking City does it better.

Oddly enough, I’m totally fine with real water, real ocean swimming, real sharks, etc. Those are all things on this material plane.

“I’m not even sure if I’m going to vote this year”

...well it sure won’t be with an attitude like that.

Ooof man, hot take for just me voicing a concern.

I dunno. Huge disclaimer that I haven’t played it yet, mind, and I realize that. But on one hand, these things DO happen and it’s relevant. On the other hand, I wonder if the two blue eyed white guys heading this game are using racism for shock value.

Oh good lord. A’ight, for the record, I totally get and understand fear of snakes. But everyone (ESPECIALLY this dude) should know that’s a ball python, and the entire reason for their name is that ball pythons ball up in defense, they don’t bite. And they can’t move fast.

Man, that was a gorgeous piece of art visually but what the fuck that storyline. Oh bummer, wife’s dead I guess, just you and me now buddy.

Sloppy? Sure. Wrong enough to warrant the grammar police? Nah. I can’t really imagine a single person assume what was argued above, save for this thread.

Nah, as far as english grammar goes this is correct. There’s a silent “respectively” at the end there.
