I don't get why people get so riled up about things like that. Like the whole starfield thing, the dumbass gender debate. I played forza horizon with a friend because we both had gamepass for a month and he couldn't stop being weird about that they have body type 1 or 2, instead of male or female. People modding out rainbow flags out of spider man, and it becoming one of the more popular mods for the game. I couldn't imagine caring enough.

Do not forget the absolute insanity of Trans People Are Not Allowed To Exist in CYBERPUNK 2077, you know a game about a genre of challenging social conventions that has long historical crossover with the Trans Movement and community.

No that one actually makes sense, CDPR are a transphobic company. No wonder they have transphobic players.
