>So, I've been unable to get a pitch accepted on this, so it's time for Twitter: South Park: The Fractured But Whole looks so nasty. You probably remember the thing about the game's skin colour slider recently - I'm white, I'd rather promote someone else's voice on that. But it also has a segment for choosing your character's gender. It's separate to the character creator, in a meeting with Mr. Mackey.
>You were assumed to be a boy in The Stick of Truth, so in The Fractured But Whole, the game actually asks your character's gender. You get to choose to be Male, Female, or Other, and if you choose to be a girl, Mr. Mackey will call your parents to make sure they know.
>There's so many issues here. You're not able to say "No, actually, don't tell them", and on top of that Mr Mackey will say at one point... "Everyone was under the impression that he was a boy. Uh, I mean *she* was a boy."
>Why on earth does the game misgender your character? I get why - it's trying to play on the assumption of your gender in The Stick of Truth, but misgendering pokes fun at your character. It's not a recognition and apology for getting your character's gender wrong - it just makes fun of you for not fitting them.
>And following that, Mr. Mackey gives a ham-fisted explanation of "cisgendered" and "transgendered" people, including the "-ed" suffix. The explanation of why that's awful and indicates a rude and offensive ignorance can be found here. But also: why does the game care? Why does The Fractured But Whole want to slap the history of your character's gender on the profile? It's utterly irrelevant, creepy, and a result of how people often feel entitled to a trans person's history. I don't care who you are - you have no right to know whether I'm cis or trans. There's no "none of your damn business" answer.
>This then culminates in you going outside and a bunch of "rednecks" (term used in-game) attacking you for your gender identity. Regardless of what you chose, you'll be attacked, but they'll say they don't like your type. First up: they assume if you're a cis or trans person, playing on the bad assumption that you can tell visually if someone is cis or trans. Clue: you can't. There is no rule for "Oh that person is trans", and seeking one out is inherently transphobic. But on top of that, this joke is minimising the genuine, real threat of trans violence people face every single day. This joke is saying that anyone can be harmed for their identity, whether they're cis or trans.
>Cis-directed violence is not a thing. I have a "TRANS IS COOL" sticker on my laptop - I love it, but I'm aware it does put me at risk, because trans-directed violence is real. This entire sequence serves to belittle trans people - wrong terminology, misgendering, and poking fun at the murder of trans people.
>So, when you see The Fractured But Whole 'including' trans people: don't support it, it's making us the butt of a joke. Most of this comes from Eurogamer's playthrough. I also don't care if the rest of the game does trans-positive stuff. This segment is gross and no positive scene can make up for it.

Proof that SJW's literally don't know what a joke is.
I like it how they handled this. It's obvious new kid is a boy, the other boys wouldnt play with him if he wasnt. Choosing your gender basicly does nothing in that regard, which is a nice reality check

When did Sup Forums become such a bunch of easily-offended sissies? For all their cries about degeneracy, they're a bunch of thin skinned pussy ass bitches. Imagine how much of a crybaby you have to be to get offended by south park, of all things.

The first one is more mentally ill, the second is more insane.

South park always made fun of everyone equally. That's what's good about it but it's too bad idiots also watch (and play).
You know the kind of idiots who go "haha I love south park :DD" but when it makes fun of something they like it they go "YOUR SHOW WAS GOOD UP UNTIL NOW BUT THIS IS BULLSHIT, WHAT A BAD SHOW, YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR"

Because attention is the most important thing to a tranny. Even if they aren't active participants in this type of attention-whoring, they are complicit by staying quiet on the sidelines and allowing it to represent them.
Jack Carter
Game is gearing up to be pretty funny.
I love the skin color = difficulty slider too, I've seen some SJWs pleased with that not realizing the game is making fun of people who think life is automatically more difficult the blacker you are.

honestly life is harder the blacker you are

Jack Jones
Yeah, aren't they totally against Trump? I can't help but think they're being sincere about actually caring about Trans people now. Aren't they SJWs now?
Christopher Carter
The actual difficulty setting is chosen during the first real fight of the game, the one on character creation does nothing.
Gavin Cook
I'm happy every time an "outrage" like this happens, it just serves to prove how dangerous it is for a dev to pander to the insanity.
Sebastian Flores
They always seemed left, but they mocked whatever the fuck they felt like anyway. They had an entire season dedicated to mocking PC culture and microaggressions. They are most certainly not SJW.

This just in, you can only be harmed if you're trans. You can never be targeted for any other reason. I'm astounded anyone could even type this sentence.
Brody Roberts
At least user probably did not get his dick chopped off.

A lot of video game characters suffer through conflicts and hostility and are being attacked and whatnot. It is all part of the story.

you just know that she's waiting for the day that someone says something about it so she can record it and post it on tumblr. Too bad for her literally no one is going to do that.

The answer is none at all.
Stop being so butthurt and put your time into something more productive.
Jaxson Adams
That was some time ago. Now one of them is literally raising his wife's black son. They've been compromised, and it's no wonder that the recent seasons have not been as good.

Jason Ortiz
God video games are gay
Sebastian Cooper
>raising black son Looks like some plot twist from the movie, where hero becomes what he was fighting against. Anyway it's sad that there's cucks like that in the real world.

Jeremiah Price
>b-but your family!!
why do lefties always argue in this weird collectivist manner
Wyatt Scott
Because this shit doesn't stop at just games It infects literally every facet of society right now, and it's fucking tiring to deal with. They know that we're sick of it, and they know that once they get us to tune their shit out for fear of having to deal with another second of their insane ramblings, they've won, and their continued shitting up of society goes unchallenged because we've been deadened to it. This is why you absolutely cannot give them any ground.
You can stick your head in the sand and keep saying 'It doesn't matter to me, this doesn't affect me', but when shit finally goes to all hell, you'll realize too late that you should have given a fuck when there was still time to do something about it.
I don't think you understand the social justice mindset. It's not about equality, or any of that feel good bullshit. All of this righeousness and bluster is cover for their true feelings. Hate. Nothing but sheer hate for you, for white people, for men in general. They want you to be second class citizens or less. They want you exiled, dead, and worse. And I do not say any of this with even the slightest hint of irony. Many of them unironically, honestly believe extermination of the white race and especially white men is the only answer to all of the world's problems.
You know the holocaust? This shit is going to end up being like that, but actually real, and without any confusion on what is being done. You are going to die, you are going to be exterminated, unless good people start fighting back against this bullshit.
Chase Hall
>all her tumblrfag followers believe and congratulate her even though every time she reads shit that isn't even actually transphobic, she's left "literally shaking" and "crying uncontrollably"

Jonathan Phillips
>You know the holocaust? Imagine a deathcamp build and designed solely by women and betas. Used to trap men.
Unless they have some fancy tech that requires no technical ability I wouldn't be too worried.
Robert Evans
I think the people getting upset over this know for a fact that this would happen, but they can never pass up a chance to be outraged at something and virtue signal at the same time. It's like offering a hungry wolf a steak, they just can't resist.
Kevin Richardson
The retarded lefties and sjws are on the run, maybe they were advancing into everything 3-4 years ago, but the last 2 years they've been humiliated, debunked, taunted, and abandoned to the point that where it was trendy to be one a few years ago, now its trendy to point out how retarded they are
South Park itself does a pretty good job of always taking the opposite side of the river when it came to trendy hipster bullshit, if you go back even to season 2 you will see episodes and references that seem to directly tie into making fun of the kinds of things you would typically associate with the current broken left, and the democrats and the left itself has been completely shattered as a result of the 2016 election, they're completely on the run
Owen Carter
Fuck off
Tyler Lewis
>G-g-guys, fake news, it was only intended to trigger us, not the SJWs
Jason Edwards
>Republicans divorce and remarry more
And?
Landon Lopez
If they were like that, then they are the cucks. A person should think for himself, boy. And honestly, you're arguing like a bitch.
Lucas Gomez
>mfw this will all be over when the feds declare antifa a terrorist organization

Andrew Clark

Luke Jackson
The worst mistake you can make in war is underestimating the capabilities of the enemy Individually, they're worthless, but unified in a single cause (kill whitey) I don't doubt they will be worse butcherers than anything Holocaust mythology and its tales have ever produced. Tech industry is dominantly leftist as well, don't forget that.
Again, never underestimate your enemy. Especially when the left does have some possible, but as of yet unverified ties to government and deep state assets or organizations (eg Antifa)
They look weak now but they could have a second wind and come right back if the right 'hands' guide them
Antifa is a perfect d/c asset, wherever they go, chaos follows. Great to keep us fighting each other and not focusing on other things the weaponized left is doing to undermine the country's everything.

I'd like to think only 20-somethings care about this bullshit, but then you read DU, a forum known for being full of baby boomers, and it's somehow already infected by this cancer. Trans bathrooms rights threads sometimes get bigger than ones about healthcare or worker's rights.
