Uh, folks, irrespective of how you think Naughty Dog handled the trans character (I haven't got there yet myself but am semi-spoiled) I guarantee you they embargoed it not bc they were afraid of outrage from trans ppl at a problematic depiction, but afraid of bros mad he exists

If you need any proof to back up this tweet just look at the reaction gamers had when they saw Abby and assumed that a buff woman must be actually trans

The simple fact that this would be a cis actor playing a trans character and that that would automatically launch a deserved backlash is why I never believed this, all the details of the story aside

I always wonder that when Hollywood casts cis actors to play trans characters, they virtually never cast a character of the person's actual gender, but instead, make a big show of how this cis man can play a trans woman. I wonder how reaction would go if it went the other way.

It's been done, like with that terrible trans hitwoman movie. I think the Crying Game actress was cis too

No, Dil in The Crying Game is played by a drag queen, Jaye Davidson (who had had no previous movie acting experience) He also played Ra in Stargate

He was cast because they wanted someone who could pass really convincingly while dressed but also provide the shock of actually seeing his actual penis when nude
