transgender video game protagonist

[Julymorning]

i know that most guys prefer their video game character to be male, however there are many who also choose to play as female as well
im also aware that many guys dont play games like Nier or Horizon Zero Dawn simply because they don't want to play as female
now that there are forced protagonists, male or female, such as Max Payne or Tomb Raider
however if there was a video game where you are forced to play as a transgender hero, would you buy and play it?

THIS TOPIC IS NOT MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE

If it's good, yes

But sadly not gonna happen soon.

Those types of people aren't satisfied until they make them a walking stereotype / punching bag meme and ruin the character or game.


Ex: i think the best still best example of lgbt represent is fallout new vegas companions.
Veronica, arcade, and christiene.

They dont force feed it to you like TLOU2. You had to actually talk with them to know them.

And they don't sugar coat it either. They're basically rejected by the wastelanders and their own factions in some cases. They live and die like you do. They have an idea then get it shoved back in their faces like nope ot's an apocalypse get with the program mofos.


It's like yeah you're lgbt who gives a ♥♥♥♥ about titles. What can you do???
Yeah I KNOW YOURE LGBT BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO

The entitlement its like mothers or karen lvls of entitlement.
They also make sure they survive like NO.
I wanna see them have a chance to die like anyone else in-game. They don't have god status or unkillable protection because of their titles.
I'd actually sympathize more if they do more say sacrifices or dangerous stuff heroic deeds.

Sigilyph, Blacephalon, Yveltal, Porygon, Claydol, Duosian, Unown, Forretress, Tangela, Garbodor, Meltan, Bronzor, Spiritomb, Probopass, Stakataka, Regigigas, Voltorb, Lunatone, Minior, Whirlipede, Accelgor, Aegislash

...just to name the weirdest ones.

Some of them are weird. Quite a lot actually. I happen to like this but they're still weird.

Great, now Google image search any one of them. Their Pokedex entries are odd too.
Spiritomb was actually the first one that came to mind as it's actually supposed to be 108 souls.

That said, that probably makes me like them all the more because they're not just another cut & paste mammal with a few fantasy flare elements added on.

:seewhatyoudid:

you mean like Cubone and the story behind it ?

[Soap]

It would otherwise make no difference to me. I’d even be one to tell a great story about a trans individual. But these days, I don’t believe the game would be allowed artistic freedom. So I’d be very suspicious of it, and probably not take time to look at it, simply because of the amount I’d have to screen it before deciding yeah I want this company to have more money.

More likely than not it would just be yet another thing exploiting sexuality and trans people in particular, for money, power, and control, or to feel like they’re finally part of some big crusade.

No, I mean like every cat, dog, & bird, that is a Pokemon just with some elements of fire, ice, & lightning or plants added onto it. Those are all VERY normal designs. Some of them are very enjoyable too but sometimes I want something that is just completely removed from the familiar.

pov: you've never talked with a trans person before

[Perquisitore]

So trans men are men, and trans women are women: they aren't a third gender, they're just men and women.
That's it, if I like the character (and story and gameplay) then I'll play the game, sure.

:thepro:

fairo tho it could mean the Deleted Pokemon that will never be, with odd names to boot, i wonder if google says anything on that

[Rumpus]

I don't know, maybe
There are some good examples of transgender characters already, like Gwyndolin from Dark Souls, who was raised as a girl because of his connection with feminine magic.

Whoa, that sounds awesome.

How much screen-time does this plot actually get, though?

:thepro:

Not much sadly, seems to be a running thing with DS lore. You can fight him in the first game as an optional boss though.

[permanent name]

Gwyndolin gets about two or three item's worth of definition and a monologue. So almost as much as a large cat.

They're depicted as a little bit delusional or out of touch with reality, obsessed with maintaining an illusion over what is essentially a graveyard. They're aware that the illusion is not real, but ask you to respect it nonetheless. Also they're the arbiter of sin and can put you on a list to be punished.

It's a pretty fraught depiction. I kind of lumped them in with the villians.
