why trans characters in video games are important.

[yee zee]

Hey gamers, today let's talk about the importance of having trans characters in every video game. Representation matters, and including trans characters not only provides role models for players but also challenges stereotypes. It's all about fostering empathy and understanding, giving players a chance to experience different perspectives.

Imagine mandatory inclusion of trans characters in every game – it's a bold move, but it could reshape the gaming industry and contribute to societal progress. Let's push for a more inclusive and diverse gaming landscape that reflects the world we live in. What are your thoughts on this? Drop your comments below! 👾🌈 #GamingDiversity #TransRepresentation

Pretty much everyone on all sides are in full agreement this is obvious bait. Not sure there's much else to say but better luck next time?

[Pierce Dalton]

Yes I'm in favor of anything that makes conservatives cry.

op is once again, wrong.

can you explain why op is wrong?

Times are tough, general motors won't be able to sponsor that many games.

How do you know they haven't been included so far?

Lara Croft could have originally been Liam Croft before the transition.

Who would know?

That's how I see all my female characters, indeed.

100% agree.

what a seriously great idea. mandates/laws on games.. whew so deep.

I'd like to add though that we should also add other things. I'm sorry. I mean MANDATE things that HAVE to be in every game

Can you imagine Mandatory inclusion of Christianity in games? There is a bold move. We should mandate that. Crosses and Jesus all over. Every game should have a manadatory 'christian' class you have to play to unlock the others. sweet!!!

Can you imagine the inclusion if we forced people to play as blind characters. That would be amazing inclusion. We should mandate that, too. When you play as the blind character your screen goes black, so you can really 'get-into-it' and be inclusive.

Can you imagine a game where you played as a reflector so you could reflect societies reflection onto your self the entire time. omg. that would be soooooo amazing and bold.

I think we should mandate math/history/writing/reading into games. So our kids could actually learn something.. OMG could you imagine like if you didn't pass the test at the end of the level then you couldn't level up your character. ohhhh nooo.. you have to go back and redo that level again.. just like real life !!!! yay.

omg i could keep going about things we need to mandate into games to force onto everyone else just because i say so and what i say matters most !!!!

peaches and sunshine everyone

There is a game called "Choo Choo Charles" or something that had a train character.

Important to who exactly? Not everyone is in to that in their games. Now if you said important to an agenda then I'd likely agree with you.

Forcing trans characters into every game would guarantee every developer would never get a cent from me ever again. Now if they were optional that would be a different story. That way I have a choice just like you would.

Once again the ball is in the court of those who want these characters in their games.

1) Mod them in ... that way there is a choice for everyone to download it or not.

2) Create a game yourself or get the trans community to kickstart one. If there is a developer out there willing to work with the community that's a beginning.

3) Lobby developers directly ... not the Steam forum where it is only going to aggravate those who are against it.

The only importance I ever feel about a game is is it good enough for me to purchase ... not what characters are in it. The only acceptance I'm seeing from people who want trans characters in their games is OUR acceptance. I see no acceptance of the way it is now by the trans community. This isn't an either/or discussion. That is why you fail.

Somehow I doubt games like DOOM would be any different if the Doomslayer was revealed to be trans.

It doesn't change the core mechanics of the FPS.

No game would change tbh. And yet people would riot, for no reason at all lol.

No reason at all ? How do you manage to "mandatory include" things in things and be sure the job is done ? Paying fines and all that ?



Hey OP, what about i'll mandatory include my hand to you cheek to foster empathy and understanding in you ? It's a bold move, it can reshape your perception of the world of societal changes, including vital lessons about consentment, compromission, cooperation and democratic consensus ! :)
The title of the session can even cater to you, the class being called "how not to be a d!!!!!!!ck".

big "I hate when they take away my big anime tiddies, I just want to commit warcrimes against queer-coded doglike people, y'know, games should be realistic and bug free while I skip cutscenes and dialogue to progress character quests" energy here

ask for good representation that actually gives proper role models and characters to look up to, not pointless caricatures of concepts you want to see with no depth, grace, nuance or purpose.

false distinction.

this is a bad argument pushed by people who see 'woke' everywhere.
