1) Preference is fine. But the game did actually make fat jack into a caricature, which IS fat-phobic.
2) yarow was not saying the game is homophobic because the mc was straight. I challenge you to scour through his comment multiple times, you will not find that to be his reason that he thinks the game has been homophobic. What he actually meant by his comment was that the lack of acknowledgement that the doctor's comment was homophobic makes it seem like homosexuality is something that should be "manage(d)" by doctors, ie. something to be fixed.
phobia means fear, nobody is scared of fat people. being labeled fat jack doesnt imply fear of jacks weight it implies that jack is fat. the idea of fat phobia as portrayed by the left does not exist. same goes for those who don't like gays. MC not acknowledging a "homophobic" statement is also the most mature route cuz whats he gonna do get into an argument that makes both parties involved mad and earns him nothing is pointless. and maybe the MC doesn't care for gay people either thats his choice. by not acknowledging it it just avoids a pointless argument scene. stop trying to force bogus political views into things that you don't own. it's the devs game and he can add whatever he wants in it if you don't like it you can move on. theres plenty of games with big girls and gay or trans people in them go play one of them and stop trying to force people to clone those games.
1) language evolves daily. fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, are terms that describe the bias or repelling, repulsive against those particular groups, and are not to be confused with the medical use of the term phobia. for example, a piece of cloth that is "hydrophobic" does not mean that the material is scared of water, merely that water is repelled by it. the repelling nature is the focus, not the "fear".
2) in the context of the scene, there is a difference with "not acknowledging" the remark and "not engaging" on the remark. the MC could have acknowledged that the homophobia was bad by saying to himself "wow this guy is homophobic" without actually confronting the person. but the fact that neither the mc nor the writer makes known their distaste of the statement implies that they themselves agree to those statements. I believe Caribdis does make an effort to make it known that they arent homophobic in their new game, so i felt comfortable addressing that here in this public forum to just bring light to this singular thing i have an issue with in this older game.
3) There's a difference between "doesn't care for gay people" to "agrees with gay conversion therapy"
4) Gay people's existence isn't political, homophobic people want to make it political so they can go against it without feeling the moral decay set in themselves.
5) I don't really have a problem with the devs. I'm just pointing out a scene that I didn't appreciate in a game I appreciate for the most part, which i feel like is a healthy relationship between dev and consumer.
6) nobody is asking the devs to turn this game into "games with big girls and gay or trans people in them"
