      Like yesterday I think or the day before one of y'all talked about the idea of trans character flashbacks avoiding deadnames and so on by actually working with the fluidity of memory and sort of doing the thing we actually do where we remember things more as we are now

      So the game basically does that with the name by working around it and it then decidedly does not do it with the voice. Tyler as a child in flashbacks looks and sounds extremely girly (and is voiced by a cis girl in flashbacks)

      To me that seems weirder than a name, that this bearded muscular bro Tyler at 22 would accurately remember what he looked like pretransition when that would make him dysphoric but nevertheless suppresses his old name

      And they had to decide to make the character look like that. He didn't have to "pass" in flashbacks (whatever that means for a 12 year old) but they could have had him look ambiguous or whatever, esp since the flashbacks are literally lens-fuzzed.

      IMO in general games with flashbacks haven't worked around the "Rashomon question" and tend to present Absolute Truth in flashbacks, which is fine except when the narrative makes it clear the character is having the flashback, we the audience aren't just skipping back

      TLOU2 is guilty of this specifically with Ellie and Abby's main past flashbacks because both of them experience and Ellie writes in her journal about losing access to memories (Joel's face, both of them remembering their dad's deaths as more their fault than it was)

      But we're still meant to believe the flashbacks have 100% veracity except where they explicitly contradict something. It's a missed opportunity, and TLOU2 has more of an excuse since memory is just a theme it has, not the main one as in TMW

      But the choice to have a cis woman/girl record Young Tyler's lines is pretty sketchy too. Like, it isn't just "someone missed out on a role from this," but it's constructing this idea that all trans guys have vastly different voices after T, which I'm reliably informed isn't true

      I mean, TLOU2 is an obvious point of comparison here; Ian Alexander was an adult when he recorded Lev's lines,has probably been on testosterone for a while, and his child character who diagetically is not on HRT isn't outed as being AFAB by his voice but also it's not implausible

      Replying to @BootlegGirl

      I was legitimately shocked the first time I heard B. Angel's voice Would never have clocked him in a million years based on his appearance but could've done so based on his voice instantly
