  1. I don't know, I've met a few good men in my life. They're worth keeping around, I think. #editingeditingedits
  2. You're right, I have no interest in playing this game and only shelled out $200 to get a fancy badge on a relatively obscure videogame forum. Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I was referring to people who say stuff like "sjw's don't even play games" or things like that.
  3. You're delusional if you really think the people who tweet about killing all men genuinely desire to do so.
  4. I love how you dudes cry about how us "sjws" don't even play games, and yet the person who brought this up on twitter is playing the game! (And I'm on my second playthrough right now. Love this game so much.)
  5. Oh god, are these dudes still crying about Obsidian removing the ****ty joke? And crying about us terrible "sjw's" ruining their games. lol
  6. Blatant misgendering and dehumanizing transphobia. Finally, the masks fall off. How unsurprising.
  7. Do you even know what "misgendering" means? Would you care to point me to what posts "misgender" somebody? I've been reading the replies here and I haven't seen anybody misgender anybody else. I might have glided over those parts you see so clearly, or you might just be making up words and definitions, like that twitter person and their "transmisogyny". Here are some definitions: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/misgender http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/misgender Calling a trans woman "he" or "it" when their preferred pronouns are "she/her" is called misgendering. Transmisogyny is basically the intersection of transphobia and misogyny: misogyny that trans women face primarily because of their trans status. This isn't very difficult to understand.
  8. Honestly, if you're not transgender then you'll never understand what it's like to live in a society that simultaneously fetishes you and yet hates you and laughs about killing you. The fact that Obsidian listened and modified the joke is a rare concession from a society that loathes us. And it's not like we evil trans feminists are going to root through all your favorite games and maliciously remove everything you like. And if you genuinely feel the game is made less because of this joke's removal, then that says a lot about the kind of person you are.
  9. ??? but I bought it a year ago? and I'm sure many other "sjw" people also bought it and maybe even backed it during the original kickstarter campaign. and even more people will buy the game now that they know Obsidian listens to their fans.
  10. Do you people complaining about how Obsidian is ignoring, betraying, or whatever their fans and backers not realize that many of us who were in favor of removal/modification of that memorial are also fans and backers?
  11. It's not *your* game. It's Obsidian's game and they decide what content goes in it. They decided they wanted to remove a transphobic joke, so they did. Get over it. Purposely misgendering people is disgusting.
  12. Not a troll, just a backer expressing her opinion. Transmisogyny is misogyny directed towards trans women, typically because they're trans. The trope of straight dudes crying because they had sex with a woman who "is really a man" (which is itself a transphobic thing) is related to the concept of trans panic. Many trans women face violence at the hands of straight men who feel that they were "deceived" and thus "panicked". Many men have even gotten away with murdering trans women using this trans panic defense. So that little "limerick" is in very bad taste. "Transmisandry" isn't a thing because misandry isn't a real thing and the discrimination trans men face tends to be related more with homophobia and transphobia in general.
  13. I'm happy to see that Josh Sawyer responded and I hope they remove it. This is a great game and transmisogyny has no place in it.
