There are plenty of examples of immature and brash teenagers struggling with parental expectations in video games. I can come up with many examples but an easy one is Atreus in God of War. He is a little punk for the most part. Kratos interacts with him with barely suppressed exasperation, and that game is widely loved.
Taash is nonbinary so their teenage coming of age story will naturally have elements about their gender identity. There is really only one conversation where that identity is one of the main topics. Other personal conversations are about their complicated relationship with their mother, trying to fit in especially after being raised in a different culture, and dragons. Standard topics for a young adult learning to navigate the world.
TLDR: if you complain about Taash but don’t complain about other stories with teenage angst, its because you’re bigoted.

I know plenty of trans people and their coming of age stories. Most don’t behave the way Taash does in the game. They’re a political mouthpiece, not a representative of trans people. If anything, you’re the one alleging all trans people have this narrative, in this specific voice, with this specific rhetoric. Your comment honestly seems performative.

This should be obvious but people with nontraditional gender identities are not a monolith. No group is. Maybe take a step back and do some introspection about why you feel this strongly about sitting through one conversation where a character talks about their struggles from being part of a marginalized group. A conversation you can literally skip through.
