  You should probably include a source of him being a transphobe if you are going to put that out there

    Not putting nonbinary characters in a game and ignoring all the people who ask why is a transphobic action ioo.

      Going straight to “you’re a transphobe” undermines the actual fight when real transphobia occurs and fucks it up for people who are seriously being harmed by actual transphobia. You aren’t helping anything with that. Considering the mechanics of the game, I could see where adding the option could take a lot of work. Maybe it does maybe it doesn’t, but that doesn’t equate to transphobia, you’re just being an asshole.

  Not adding a nonbinary does not make him a transphobe. Not every game, movie or story need a trans sexual character. It’s fair to ask for an addition in a “roleplaying” game (which it is here to be fair), but its not fair to call someone transphobe if he or she does not do it.

    I had just finished reading a Steam thread on why a game didn’t have a female option.

    If I ever create a game I’m making the protagonist a slug or alien or something.

  There are mods to do this.

  Would it be nice in the base game? Sure, but it’s not there, and speculating that he’s a transphobe because of that seems like a hell of a conclusion to make.

    We’re aware of the mods, but that only helps those on PC, it would be nice for players on other platforms to be able to do that.

    Ah, that’s good to know, hopefully it’ll bring the ability to do that in the base game.

    Thanks for bringing a good answer without any pointless ad hominem attacks, we appreciate that.

      Well… Pointing that out after calling CA a transophobe for no good reason

        Difference is, I can admit when I was wrong.

        It is absolutely a transphobic action, but it might not mean he is trabsphobic.

        I doubt very much I’ll recieve any apologies from these driveby commentators, and they likely won’t consider their use of such words in the future (to me or others) that add nothing to the discussion.

        If someone wants to point out I’m wrong then calling me an asshole etc is the worst possible way to do it, especially because I’ve explicitly said not to do so, they are welcome to point out how I’m wrong without resulting to petty insults, that again do not do anything but make me block due to saying not to do so.
