How about you listen to your own advice and consult some of us before opining on the issue? it goes both ways. @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz

@LadyFuzztail @JimSterling Before stating that tranny is a slur that should not be in a Steam game title? He';s chatted tp me about that.

IMO, it's all contextual. As a trans person, I can't really find offense to it unless it's in a derogatory context. @LaurakBuzz @JimSterling

@LadyFuzztail @LaurakBuzz @JimSterling are you American? The word in question has history in England of being derogatory, less so elsewhere.

For the record, I live in HK. Y'know a former British colony? @joobleblob @LaurakBuzz @JimSterling

@LadyFuzztail @joobleblob @JimSterling Former British Colony doesn't = same language context today.

Doesn't really matter anyways, since this is delving into ID politics. @LaurakBuzz @joobleblob @JimSterling

@JimSterling @LaurakBuzz "You need to be X to write a character who is X" nah

@Myst_King @JimSterling No, but you should probably talk to X about what it's like to be X before you write X

@LaurakBuzz @JimSterling But not every portrayal of a character is trying to say something about a demographic.

@Chriss_m @GatorMusicInc @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz wow guess they aren't for actually "diversity" in games

@BlazeFirestorm @Chriss_m @GatorMusicInc @JimSterling I repeat, they are still making a trans character and game, renamed tranny to trans

@JimSterling @LaurakBuzz I disagree. You don't have to be something in order to write it convincingly - You have to have a sort of empathy*

@Zeithri @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz OK, go ahead and watch some of the films by white men about the treatment of black women, I dares ya.

@joobleblob @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz Are you trying to be edgy or something?

@Zeithri @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz doll, I don't have to try.

@joobleblob @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz -thirdly, there's not even an argument. So don't even try it. It's idiotic. Period.

@Zeithri @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz you're welcome to be wrong, you'll just have shitty friends for the rest of your life. No worries.

@joobleblob @JimSterling @LaurakBuzz - Secondly, You know shit of my friends. You're assuming, and that is all you are doing.
