Actively transphobic, like posting fuckshit on social media? What's the deal here. I think I own this game on two platforms and still haven't played it yet.
I stay proud of my ability to laugh at myself AND rise above the ignorance of the world, so a lot of jokes roll off my back or I'll ironically enjoy them. But if my people are being hurt the dynamic changes.
I found this article on the slurs in the game, but not any specific tweets which I think were on individual dev accounts and not the studio account
Appreciate your effort digging that up for us.
It was just a google search, for a second there I thought you were being sarcastic lol
The transphobia was on the devs’ Discord. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/08/26/ion-fury-devs-are-donating-10000-after-backlash-over-transphobic-comments CW: transphobia
3D Realms can get in the bin too for their “we won’t remove this homophobic joke because it’s CeNsOrShIp” take.
That sucks. There's good odds they have trans people on their own staff and just don't know it.
I wish ignorant people would recognise when they're ignorant and just shut. the fuck. up. about stuff.
