deadname?Name before she transitioned. Gets hurled at transfolk a lot. Wouldn't it be Birthname? As in the one his parents gave him? It's also considered rude not to use the preferred pronoun. The name her parents gave her. There is no need to afford politeness to people who act grossly offensively and indecently.

Thanks for proving that people like yourself exist beyond one individual on Twitter. It would be controversial to assert that this existed if you didn't actually prove it.

They don't have to explain themselves to anyone except the person affected. It does not affect the game in shape whatsoever, so why do they need to put into the patch notes? Self entitled people round here are as bad as the stupid moron on twitter who started all this. The fact that we are BACKERS and we didn't feel there was any need to remove it as demonstrated in these very forums warranted, at the very least, an honest discussion with us regarding this before the removal. They could also address why they opted to remove it instead of the many alternatives, like promoting with the means of a sticky of the user-made mod that removes it or adding a toggle to remove triggering content. It would be nice if they explained HOW that was offensive as well, considering it got past their veto process before (and its insulting to our intelligence to tell us it simply got past their checks). I don't know, being the very people who made this game a possibility makes me think they could at the very least be open with us, and establish some dialogue instead of appeasing people who are not even backers of this game (as evidenced by those twitter misandrists not even having forum accounts here). It's even more insulting that they NEVER allowed us to toggle off ALL backer content as widely requested before by people who actually owns the game, but will listen to a twitter hatemob at the drop of a hat. By the way, we were ALL affected by this. Not sure if you realize, but the patch changes the content of the game we all have installed. Oh so because you're a backer, that makes you entitled does it? I'm sorry, I forgot being a backer meant you had direct input into the business of Obsidian and what happens to the game. As for content, meaningless, irrelevant and would not change the game in the slightest if it was never there. More vocal minority. we are not all affected...as I never bothered reading any of them anyway as I'm sure plenty of other 'backers' didn't care about them either. You pledged to get the game made. You got the game. That's about as far as your entitlement goes I'm afraid. Actually, it said on the backer page that you would have direct input into the game. And actually, it was said that those who backed with certain amounts was entitled to have a message placed in the game. Subject to a vetting process, which by all probability was passed (it's extremely unlikely that they vetted all the other messages but simply copy-and-pasted this one without looking at it)

I am somewhat upset that the Obsidian CEO seems to have basically.. said something that wasn't true: So all the other content was "vetted" - however, by the incredibly unlikely coincidence of the century -- this particular poem was merely not vetted! It was copy-and-pasted without anyone "vetting" it unlike all the other content which was vetted! Alternative explanation: it was vetted together with all the other content, but now is retroactively "re-vetted" (removed).
