Wasn't the whole catalyst of Lev's story that the Scars didn't accept him so he had to run away? In that context, why would the people trying to kill him bother with calling him Lev? Plus, he pretty much left immediately so there's a good chance they didn't even know of his new name. The issue is mostly that transgendered people have close to no represenation in video games, in particular triple a games this one. What they want is basically to be treated just like everyone else more than anything. This game has the best intentions about it I do not doubt, but Lev's story is an extreme story of trans people not being accepted where they come from, and that's not the representation you want at this point in time. It's a shame it has to be that way, but it is. pezzicle posted... ... I just want to clarify that my previous post wasn't directed at you. I disagree with you on a bunch of things about the game, but that fortunately doesn't have to be personal. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ...
