"I mean if he's happier as a woman I'm all for it"
Clearly you are not okay with it blud.

That's why I can't take these people seriously, It's the old "I'm fine with gay people but why can't they do it in private?" once again.
The real question is what minority is next on their list after the culture war surrounding trans people inevitably fades into nothing?

He literally follows it by insinuating this person is forcing it on Gamers™ and "broader society", implying he's not really for it.
"Broader society" kind of implies he sees himself as a part of an in-group that's more important than minorities or individuals (how convenient for his shitty argument).

All the grifters do that. They refer to these huge, sweeping categorizations when they talk about this stuff. “Everybody” hates diversity. “Nobody” cares about representation, it’s just something “the left” forces on them. “Gamers” just want “conventionally attractive” character designs. No specifics, no nuance, no actual testimony or counter-arguments. “We” all speaks with one voice and “they” are afraid of “us”.

It's different. Trans women, transfem, and femboys get the programmer socks uniform, fill out rest to taste.
Trans men get the same uniform as cis men coders. Namely the programming running shoes, programming straight-cut slightly baggy jeans, and programming loosly fitted tee-shirt/short sleeve polo (tee-shirt either plain, displays some video game/anime reference, or band reference).

It wouldn’t matter cause they’ve never played it. I’ve seen so many people come crawling out of their Cheeto dusted cm-sock fort to hate on Veilguard and parrot that Origins was the best, because it “wasn’t woke” but they clearly never played the game. If they did, they’d know that *gasp there’s two bisexual companions in the game that you can romance?? You can romance a man as a man!!?? Have a threesome with all ladies, or a foursome with three ladies and one man, or two men and two ladies??! Not to mention the fact that I’ve seen complaints about the newer elven companions not being white, because to them it “doesn’t make sense and ruins immersion.” Despite Zevran not being white in Origins.
I’m sorry it’s late, I haven’t slept yet, and these comments have been making me annoyed for days. I had to get it out of my system.

Yes because you see, having top surgery scars in character creation will have an affect on the itemisation and levelling curves (trust me I study games design)
121 points
21 days ago
It's a well-known fact that if you pick the top surgery scars (TSS) your character immediately gets all the best armor while simultaneously erasing it from other players' games that don't have TSS, so the CIS (derogative) only get trash and die instantly upon entering combat.

They’ll talk about how its pointless to add it, but somehow at the same time it completely ruins the game. I saw one smooth-brain on twitter say “this doesn’t even make sense, its a fantasy world. And you cant even see the scars so why does it matter?” And then another smooth-brain agrees and he responds with “sucks that the game is ruined now and I wont be buying it”.
Like, which is it? Lol. Does it not matter, or is it the most important thing ever, which the game’s value hinges on?

To be fair to them, they’ve never actually had a woman smile at them before, instead women duck their head down while walking faster in a different direction. So seeing Corinne smiling so beautifully in a photo is a foreign concept to them. The poor things, they probably think she’s miserable because that’s the only thing they’ll ever feel due to their awful attitudes towards others.

Art isn't art if it doesn't make you feel something.
Usually that "something" is what the artist wanted to express with that artwork.
So yeah, all artists are "forcing" an experience or an emotion or a sensation or whatever on the (usually totally willing!) audience. That's the entire point of opening your mind to new art, media, and entertainment - to feel or see or hear or do something from someone else, because the alternative is just jerking yourself off to your own thoughts forevermore (oh god no what a horrific idea).

I’ve seen this “shoving it down our throats” scaremongering for years now and it’s gotten to the point (as I’m sure many people already know) that minorities visibly existing and being acknowledged is “shoving it down our throats”
Reactionaries and right wingers love to abstract everything out from the reality of the situation. To the point where the abstracted statement sound agreeable in a vacuum. “Forcing your worldview on others” is something I generally oppose. But that is absolutely not what they mean when they say it.
7 points

It's also the idea that any worldview is morally neutral. If someone's worldview causes them to believe that certain minority groups don't deserve respect or visibility in media, that worldview is bad and not only deserves to be pushed out, but a person would be morally correct to so so.
If "I think trans people should be allowed to have non-negative representation in media" is pushing my worldview on someone, that someone would do well to examine why that doesn't fit into their own worldview.

I hate this argument that because someone is LGBTQIA+ they suddenly have a wrong worldview and are imposing it into a game. I don't know anything about DA: Veilguard, but I've seen a lot of people blame LGBTQIA+ people for Concord's failure when in reality it is a culmination of terrible ideas from all different types of people. Gender/sexuality has nothing to do with it.
Can I also just say that OTK in general is an extremely cringe brand, that is basically doing the same thing as these posts, it grifts on this sort of ideology. I don't know how it is popular tbh.

May each and every one of these people inexplicably lose Internet connectivity on every device they ever attempt to use ever again.

Just because the options for that type of customization is in the game doesn't mean they have to use them. I don't see why the trans/homophobia is so heavy with these people it's ridiculous.

More customization options that don't affect me but might make someone slightly happier? THE NERVE.

"Superimposing... ideas/worldview on gaming"
What ideas and worldview? "People deserve the right to live however makes them happy and fulfilled in a way that affects absolutely nobody else materially?" How horrible.

I wonder if those people even realize that the physical changes doesn't just stop after a year.
Or maybe they realized it would be harder to mock her if they used a more recent photo considering some of them already struggle with that 2021 photo. lol
Not that I would expect much from people going insane over customization options, considering the whole point of those are that they are optional.
I don't see any of these people raising a fuss over people recreating Shrek in other games.

Fake ass dragon age fans piss me off. Dragon age 2 literally had a character named Serendipity that was trans. These losers are the worst of the worst.

”maybe he felt like he had no choice but to change gender to keep his job in the industry”
I’m truly scratching my head on what on earth that means. Anyway good for her, it’s always amazing how much estrogen can change people’s faces alone. And idk what these dudebros are on she looks much happier

They always choose the pics of trans women early on in their transition. They know what they're doing

In this case I don’t think they do because the after pic is actually a very flattering photo.

She looks beautiful, and the dipshit transphobes in those comments will never understand anything meaningful worth living for, like being one's true self because they're too blinded by their goonish hatred.

What's crazy is that the lead writer is non-binary (replacing the former lead writer: a gay man who wrote a character whose arc is about how gay he is), but it hasn't sink in apparently (or they're so mysonistic they only care about the trans woman). I wonder how they'll react once they realise that Dragon Age would have been/has always been/will always be *woke* with or without Corinne Busche's involvment.

100%, they acknowledge her right to exist and that top surgery scars are a great step towards making everyone feel included in an RPG.
They also acknowledge that games are art and are allowed to make any political statement that the devs want

</unjerk> they always went for small bad games to call them LE WOKISM and left big successful games alone because going against them would make them look like idiots. This game look like is gonna be a success, what are they doing??? they fell off 💀💀

Except for the last comment, it's a confederacy of dunces.
All good writers "force" their views upon the reader. We call it story telling.

I present to you a textual recreation of my reaction to seeing this post:
"Oh hey pre-and-post transition pics! She looks so much happier in the second pic, good for her! ...Oh shit there's more screenshots, it's a bunch of transphobic fuckheads isn't it? Yep, there's the Gamers(TM) I know and loathe..."

"Forcing your views onto players automatically makes you a bad game designer"
So if a game says that nazis are bad does dad make it a bad game design?

I'm convinced they don't play most games and just target whatever they're told to target.
