mh -, transphobia in retro games, long 

Gods above I'm cursed. I finally find the spoons to stream again after 3 months and what happens? I pick a game to play unspoiled that just socks you in the face with an incredibly long setup into a massively no-ambiguity, no-really-wtf-is-wrong-with-you transphobic joke.

Like some fucking dev put some effort into this and I walked into it face first in front of like 40 people.

I feel like absolute shit.

And to make it worse that, of course and justifiably, started a discourse on transphobia in games, localization, etc and I just... really don't want that vibe in my chat. It needs to be said though so I have no idea what to do about that except "Stop playing games unspoiled and carefully vet every single thing for shit before streaming it"

Maybe I should.
