Tired

Okay. I don't understand what the shit is happening with The Arkh Project. It's a shame the only game that looked inclusive enough is coming to this, but the more is coming out about the creator, the worse is looking.

I don't know. What do you people think? This is sf_drama, so the discussions are called "wank" and A LOT of the comments are a mess, but there ARE some qualms we shouldn't ignore.

ETA: Okay, frankly, the comments are making me distrust the whole post. A lot. Fucking shit ignorant people who have never heard the term Muxe before. So it's obviously ridiculous! And Two Spirits is such a stupid concept for these weeabos. I want to kill.

ETA 2: yeloson shared a better source describing the problems with Arkh (it doesn't have all the disgusting stuff going on at sf_drama). Talks about the strange stuff with the business transactions. It doesn't bode well.

I don't know, a lot of the arguments of gender essentialism and "white washing" bother me... The main character looks white... why? I never once associated him with "white," but a lot of people tend to think anime characters are white. And about "how a trans person has to act" in a game that still hasn't been released... hm.

But yeah, to be honest, the disability part rings some bells. But I don't know if people there are able-bodied or not.

Thing is people consume everything in media with serious racist, cissexist, ableist issues, done by white cis able-bodied people. And they don't make such a fuss; they talk about what they like, toss aside what bothers them. They discuss the problematic aspects, but still support the works they like. Some people even get defensive when people discuss the icky parts of their fandoms... etc. And NOW everyone is making a fuss... I don't know.

You're right. I think the difference (for the people who are not doing this out of grudgewanking and not upset because zomg it's not all about cis white straight people) is that when it's "one of us" or when something seems really super awesome at first, they get their hopes up much higher and so the disappointment is more when it's not everything they hoped for/were promised.
