#so this actually getting under my skin and “triggering” me is wild. i've read some pretty vile stuff before and somehow this cutesy shit is

i don’t think i can talk about everything positive about veilguard until i talk about how utterly dismal the trans representation in this game is. yes, especially with taash. because yeah…i do think it being bad is not something to ignore like i see so many people on here say you should “because any rep is better than none.” anytime gender came up while playing veilguard i had a massive pit in my stomach, and i came in with the maybe the most open mind about it. i know for some it was the first time they've seen a non-binary character in a video game and that's why they're less harsh than i am. that has never been the case for me, i have non-binary and trans characters i very much enjoy and don't need to rely on one game to do the job for me.

but this conversation always turns into “oh you just hate non-binary people that’s why you have a problem with taash!” actually i think the game itself has a problem with non-binary people given all they could say about it is “you’re non-binary if you hate being a woman.” or talked about clothes. that’s about the extent we get to explore gender identity in this game. well that and “trans people valid.” we need to shelf the word valid for a while i think. i wish trans rep wasn't written primarily for a cis audience all the time, because i'm so tired of getting talked down to in a conversation i don't need to have.
