  Supporting transphobes is wrong. Millions of people supported a transphobe. For me, that’s not being smug, it’s being terrified

    The developer and people that worked on the game aren’t transphobes. Get a new bit.

    We just have different ideas of what it means to be transphobic.

    Enjoying the game doesn’t mean you are supporting the author.

    Especially if you pirate it.

  No smugness here, just disappointment.

    Why does it matter to you what others play?

      Financially supporting a crusade against a minority group (trans folks) is one of my pet peeves

        So. You’re saying the developer and everyone that worked on the game are part of a crusade against a minority group?

        Or is it just that you’re delusional enough to think that because the creator or the IP is a blowhard gag of a human being, everyone associated with her IP should be thoroughly punished?

        The game allowed you to create a trans protagonist (male voice/female body, pronouns, …). It isn’t a crusade against them at all, it is empowering them. No matter what the author said.
