Everybody has said what they wanted to say multiple times in different forms, and it's gone nowhere... mostly because we actually know nothing about this stupid game but some pictures and brief gameplay snippets that might not even be in the release version.

Developed trans characters would be great, but also we've seen no character development of anybody in this game because we've only seen brief snippets that might not even be in the release version next year.

Witcher 3's representation of anybody that wasn't a white dude was ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so I'm not expecting this game to let freedom ring or anything, but I'm not gonna bury them before the game can even be played just based on a poster in the background of a promotional image nVidia used for raytracing tech.

No, shut the gently caress up.
"Yeah, we have loads of positive representation of trans people you just can't tell they're trans!" is not a valid counter argument to "The only visible trans people are hypersexualised fetish caricatures."

Edit:
Actually if that were the case it's just reinforcing another nasty belief about trans people which is that the only "good" ones are the ones who can flawlessly pass as cis.

At the same time, hey it's a mainstream soda ad so maybe it also reflects a world where I don't have to worry about tight clothes being an actual health hazard.

That's fair, but then it also doesn't make sense. I don't think anybody would say that the people who e.g. designed the propaganda from Bioshock Infinite were bigoted for creating a fake version of the ideology they said they were opposing. And if creating something like that means "engaging in bigotry", then it perhaps means that the value of "engaging in bigotry" changes depending on intent.

I'm going off of what they've shown. They've been extremely controlling about what gameplay gets out into the wild and what people are allowed to see. This is what they want their game to be seen as, so why are trans people not a part of that besides exploitation?

I'm glad you have the luxury of not having to care about representation besides white men, but that's not good enough for me.

I really wish I could remember the name for this kind of connector. IIRC it was developed by like germans in the 50s or 20s or some poo poo. Used a lot for certain microphones or even soldering irons, but i've also seen it referred to as "aircraft" style, whatever that means. V's jacket has four of them, and they're all the peripheral side -- the energized "main" side would look like this:



Obviously you don't need to run power thru these necessarily, but if you did you wouldn't want the sockets on the jacket to be energized cause you could get some fuckin shell casing jammed in there or other idiot poo poo and get a short. I have seen them used reversed where the pins were hot for whatever dumbass reason, and probably they're used like that more often than not, they're not really like usb designed to be plugged whenever however so you can sort of assume that if the pins are hot it's not going to be a big deal cause the thing is already connected up or it's powered down.

There's also ten billion variations in number, layout, and size of pins, including sockets and plugs that are half male and half female. Really weirdo poo poo out there but I've only seen the more standard ones irl. I'm willing to bet that if it were real the jacket has some kind of backing plate behind those sockets, not that it's something that would ever come up, but without a strong anchor those things would rip right through the leather no problem. IMO if the jacket broke it would be a pain in the rear end to fix unless there's some sort of access pocket on the inside that lets you pull the guts out of the collar.

I wonder if those connectors have an actual use in the game or if it's just there to look cool (it's there to look cool). Any time I've seen them they tend to either be some homebrew poo poo or something that just needs a cheap reliable interconnection. For sure not the kind of thing i'd run in like fuckin combat simulations or whatever, that naked metal second pic I posted has like no strain relief for the cable itself.

I'd actually be really interesting if they cast actors for all three of these people, especially Morgan Blackhand (the Solo of Fortune). I don't think it's ever been stated what he actually looks like, because the dude is just so good at staying untraceable. The closest description to him is Mike Pondsmith commentating that he thinks Morgan would be an older white guy, the kind that can instantly blend in anywhere; even right after garroting some poor bastard in the middle of a street.

maybe it'll be like a Vampire The Masquerade thing where Morgan is just some random dude you see sometimes and you don't realize who he really is until the very end

It's a common lovely trope in that it's usually used as a way to show how trans people are dangerous predators tricking straight men who no matter how attractive they are should be treated as undesirable monsters. The only way in which that poster looks like a cliche is if you think mainstream media representations of trans people have anything in common with futa hentai.

I dunno. I'm thinking probably you always end up with john but maybe you really can get different guys showing up. I'd think that they'd probably demand the same missions in the same places, but the goals and flow of the missions would be different depending who you're running for, and they might be in a different order with different scenarios.

"Oh poo poo samurai the corpos are buying a fuckin virus take them out"
"our employees are going to secure a purchase, make sure nothing interrupts the transaction"

If it was straight up different missions that would be crazy as gently caress, i'd think that'd be more DLC than putting all that effort into the main game tbh.
