You haven’t tried very hard, and yet you’ve written literally hundreds of words in the comments here about something you are admittedly ignorant about but somehow feel that everyone needs to hear your opinion on. You’re arguing with other people about gender surgery, a touchy subject at the best of times, and you’re…

I’ll give a good faith response because I do hope this isn’t a trolly or baiting question. Full disclosure, not trans but I do have close friends that are. Also, not a doctor or health care worker, so I apologize if I screw up terms.

Just because for you it was “just a phase”, doesn’t mean your experiences speak for…

Being left-handed and being denied doing things left-handed by bigotry (even with good intentions) has huge influence on the development phase of an individual. Exactly like transphobia is right now. This is a very direct comparison, and I stick to it. If you feel uncomfortable with it, it’s probably your assumptions…

It’s fine that you are “irked” by people taking their health for granted. It is not fine for your irkiness to have any influence over what those people can and cannot do whatsoever.

Yes, obviously, in a vacuum, “mutilating a perfectly healthy body while you have depression and other big issues” is bad. 

Transgenderism is on exactly the same pedestal as cisgenderism. Just lower rate of happenstance and massive social opprobium heaped onto it.

I recommend checking out Contra Points on YouTube, if you genuinely want a greater understanding of what it means to be trans. While she does not speak for everyone, or represent the full range of trans experience, she does a great job of presenting various viewpoints.

If you’re admittedly ignorant about something, what if you educated yourself instead of asking other people to do the work for you? 

Oh, and if they did secretly slip stuff into the game without approval? They should 100% be fired immediately. 

The things they did in-game were bad enough to keep me from wanting to play it. But it is their creation. They have the right to do it.

So an incredibly small number of people are engaging in actions you don’t like, and you then label them and apply that label to huge numbers of people who you don’t know, have never met, and have absolutely no idea what their goals are and have no desire to learn.

Good. I’m getting pretty tired of the rampant hatred of trans people these days. The only plus side is that by engaging in such disgusting attacks, the people who hate trans folks are only accelerating social acceptance of them. No one wants to be associated with the bigots after all. Makes anyone on the fence move…

Trans quislings are few and far between, but they are unfortunately out there saying some absolute shit.

Pretending for a second yout post isn’t full of alt right terminology itself, we live in a world where people call a developer SJW for making a game about killing nazis.

I’m reminded of the people who pipe in saying “X isn’t actually racist/sexist/homophobic because of Y”. That might have been true initially. Sure, 4chan might trolled us all with the OK hand symbol not originally being a secret racist thing. But the origin of a thing doesn’t matter as much when…

I’m all for creative freedom. People want to put offensive things, nudity, language, whatever in their games? Long as it passed the ESRB with no more than an M, have at it. Nobody is forcing me to buy it.

The homophobic language in game is not what bugs me. That shit 100% would have existed in the game if it was made in the 90s. Hell in 2005 Hideo Kojima literally made a character in MGS3 whose entire reason for existing is essentially ‘Raiden is gay. lol!!!!1!’. Half of the jokes in Friends boil down to ‘chandler and…

Too late for me. The amount of intentional disregard and bigotry can’t be apologized for. They knew what message they were sending, now they can sleep in the bed they made. Which is a shame, I wanted to play this game. But I won’t give money to a dev who displays such behavior.

Yep, people who say shit like this are NOT trying to “understand ... social justice stuff.” They’re just mad they can’t be fucking awful with impunity anymore.

“Something I don’t really understand about the social justice stuff is that they have stuff like the ‘slut walk,’ which I thought was about the right to not be harassed for how they dress but, then if you portray women dressed the same way you get shit for it,” Terminx wrote in a discussion with other members of the…
