Edit: Also, it isn't really "faithful to reality" because they're in a zombie apocalypse, and it's a creepy religious cult, it discusses themes of 'being a warrior', and Lev kills his mother at the end after she tries to kill him. It's a fantastical take on the real issues that trans people go through, and one of my trans friends described it as 'trivializing'. It's really just a poor setting to deal with a sensitive subject like trans issues. Gone Home must be not faithful to the experiences of lesbians then, because most lesbians don't have a family with a mansion and don't run away from home with their girlfriend who ditched the military. But obviously, the mansion and the military ditching aren't the point. Most games exist in a bit of a fantastical situation. "Faithful to reality" doesn't mean it creates a 1:1 mirror of our reality. It means it gets to the heart of the issue and depicts that within the circumstances the game takes place in. Again, I'm not trans, but I didn't feel like it trivialized anything. I'm a straight white guy who lives in Texas, so my demographic would be one to normally trivialize the issues trans people face. Yet I played TLOU2, and I feel the same way about them as I did before: they deserve better, and our culture needs to evolve to include them properly. --- Got a brand new blues that I can't explain <cite>Solioxrz362 posted [p:941589287] in The Last o...
