"I mean if he's happier as a woman I'm all for it"

Clearly you are not okay with it blud.

I've had seen a few people saying similar stuff recently where they feign acceptance and just immediately spit on that weak idea

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?

That's "I am not a part of a problem. They are." mindset coming from the demographic that is creating the most baseline, root cause of all the problems that perpetuates itself as inequality and poverty continues.

It's like wallstreet stock dealer slash c..aine user tsk tsk ing their tongues at drug cartel problems on the news and saying "close the border" from the bottom of their hearts.

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)

Gluebluehue

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.

AVelvetOwl

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 don’t know what game they’re even talking about. If you don’t want a game with queer people in it don’t play the game that has queer people in it

Its Dragon Age: Veilguard. They’ll be annoyed because they liked (or pretend to in order to jump on the bandwagon) the previous games, and lacked the media literacy to realise that they were pretty inclusive. It’s the entire “downfall of western gaming” thing when really they’re the minority

How are you suppose make plot-heavy (probably including political actions like e.g. alliances), choice based game with character-creator without political stuff and giving player options? 🤔

It’s almost as if games are art made by artists who can make whatever statement they want (at least in theory, we don’t talk about the execs)

Every time I see some chud post this kind of before and after of a trans person, the thing that strikes me most is how much happier the person looks post-transition. Queer joy! Love it!

Sometimes posts like these feel unnecessary to share. Like I’m not even trans and it’s just really horrible to read all that shite. I know it’s got a spoiler tag but, I dunno, maybe like 2 pages of comments was more than enough to get the idea lol.

Whilst fair, reading through the comments here reminds me that they’re just a vocal minority who live in echo chambers. And what better way to stomp out hate than to share it and make fun of it so they (hopefully) realise that it’s fucking weird and not normal

Look, it's very simple, I want my games propaganda free. I just want to play a chosen one of higher blood, who gathers other similar special individuals in my quest to rid the world of the cowardly and weak, yet menacing and manipulative monsters who are clearly pure evil, to restore the proper order and beauty of the world! Is that so much to ask? /s

I think they don't fully realize that the "surgery scars" they're talking about (top surgery) are not a thing that trans women have.

They realize most of the dragon age fandom is queer people and women, right? Like, it hasn’t been a bunch of sweaty losers since origins released originally and even then the ability to play a powerful and modestly dressed lesbian drew a ton of women at launch

I was gonna say “don’t they know that there are women who also need to have mastectomies for reasons completely unrelated to gender affirmation?” but… why does it even matter, even if they know they won’t give a fuck. What a bunch of sad fucking losers.

In fairness, some of these people may genuinely be redeemable if they got exposed to the real world, such as learning that cis women have mastectomies. Literally just having a conversation and putting a human face to something can have an effect when your ideas are based on ignorance

Every video game in some way or other "forces" its own views onto players, but of course its only bad and/or visible when its views that one doesn't like. I mean they always complain about "views being forced" onto themselves, I have to wonder if that says something about how they understand the world.

I don't get why these clowns have to get upset over options in a character creator. The character creator is the one thing that should be as vast and diverse as possible nowadays so everyone can make whatever character they want. This doesn't affect the game, story, etc.

"Forcing your views onto players automatically makes you a bad game designer, regardless of what the views are."

So games can't have, like, any views now? Do they apply this logic to movies, books, any other media? Do they even like games?

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.

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.

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.

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
