Apparently it's specifically the director, Katsura Hashino, who's got the bee in his bonnet about this. Been describing this as 'the true version of Catherine's story'. What a piece of poo poo.

Haha, Kamiya is trending on Brazilian Twitter because a Youtuber got blocked under his "Japanese-only replies" rules and people interpreted it as xenophobic. I hope he scheduled a full day to block people on Twitter...

Yea, Tetris 99 is a 100% must-watch even if you have to break it up in chunks for that ending.

Yardbomb posted:That's pretty much Warframe's most dire flaw, it's a super good game, but everything is incredibly confusing to a new person. You'll bumble into the armory and store and see everything costing plat (When virtually everything in the game can be crafted easily), you'll see menus to incubate poo poo (Which comes in later for combat pets) or turn mods into endo or reveal rivens (Which are later game stuff) and just be clueless. As good as it is, it almost requires coming into it with a friend who can tell you how to actually start the game proper and understand what things do. I was loving it until I started playing with other players and had. To stop. At every chest. And every pickup. No matter how useless. And just getting through a few rooms took way more time than was necessary. Mind you I was brand new to the game and even I could keep up a steady pace. Not speedrunning, but not that frustrating rhythm. Reminded me of playing Borderlands with people who had to stop and inspect every drop no matter how garbage it was.

Not to dig this up much but I heard that it's just back in time and Erica still goes through with it and it's never implied otherwise so you're just seeing them before. Is this not the case? Also did something change in general with Erica? At release I remember seeing a ton of posts saying she was a well written and great character and (Spoilers for vanilla I guess) even when the person that has a crush on her finds out she's trans he still hooks up with her because he loves her.

There's also the other Cathrine in the game (who was heavily implied to be pre-op trans) that they added but bugger knows what the score is with them given all the telephone game this sort of nonsense adds to everything.

My work can be found on @redstate, @nichegamer, @dailycaller, @OneAngryGamerhd, & youtube." So you know, grain of salt and all that. Also in the original game the entire male cast keeps throwing passive aggressive barbs at Erica about not being a real woman, she gets sent to the nightmare world for men who are bad at getting women pregnant, and when the guy who didn't know her pre-transition hooks up with her and then finds out about her history he acts super distraught about losing his virginity to her. The director of Catherine is pretty infamous for having Opinions About LGBT People so people aren't exactly eager to give his work the benefit of the doubt in the first place.

The male cast was never held up as "right" about goddamn anything, she's sent to the nightmare world by the villains of the game who punish mankind for not living up to ethical codes that were wrong when they were created six thousand years ago, and again, the bar drinking crew are three men who are wrong about everything and generally unhappy people. Toby gets over his little snit fit pretty quickly, while Vincent and crew are being kinda lovely because they genuinely don't know which of their friends needs their, "help." (The answer is neither, but it also highlights that after Erica transitioned, something they didn't understand and didn't like, they still were friends with her) Erica was the most interesting part of the first game, which is a part of why people were so distraught when rumors came out the remake did her dirty.

I find it kind of interesting that for a creator who is pretty lovely about how LGBTQ people are represented, they are also present to an extent that is extremely rare in games. Like, I cannot think of a major studio that has as many prominent nonbinary figures, even if they are handled tactlessly.
