Ah yeah just what assassin's creed origins needed.

A transphobic quest.

Description of transphobia 

@modernmodron I'm still playing it because I really enjoy it so much........ There's just a sidequest where you have to kill a man who, after his mom dies, kills people who use brothels including his father and dresses up as his mom and the whole thing sets it up like he's actually a woman so it does the whole "haha we fooled you it was actually a man pretending to be a woman" type of thing

It's frustrating

@modernmodron there's ableism to boot because he supposedly actually believes he's his mom and so the only way to deal with this is to put him down

It's not great

@modernmodron yea it's. not great.

There are a lot of fantastic parts to the game so like. It's still worth playing if you don't mind playing around that quest line. They did some great stuff with the main story.
