My other hot queer media take of the day is that I have close to zero interest in Tell Me Why specifically because of the much touted lack of deadnaming It's supposed to be about memory and flashbacks Of a teenager in the present day

I glanced at some reviews and people are saying it as a positive thing that Tyler is trans and this fact is clearly acknowledged in the narrative but it's not central to it at all, the story has nothing directly to do with his transition
-
It just seems like, and maybe I'm misunderstanding the mechanic, if the narrative is about memory, limiting things to memories of the last couple of years is super limiting

I mean, except in games that's not a trope. Even the negative trans stereotypes from the bad old days like the elf sex worker in Dragon Age didn't show her before transition I literally don't know that it's ever happened in games

There was that game Caroline, I think? IIRC there was something with a trans woman side character for whom the "good" ending has her not transitioning, which is much more objectively bad
