This story is not about becoming a trans! This project is about the story and idea the author wants to share. I'm sorry to break it to you but the world doesn't revolve around your trans issues so that the author tailors his story just to suit you. You didn’t even think about the fact that the author of the project might not know the medical and most importantly psychological details of gender transition, or that the author might simply be uncomfortable writing about it in their story.

Try to be considerate not only of yourself.

Ahh, as if the developer hadn't already replied to me, saying that it was something they hadn't thought about, but would consider adding assuming they could do it justice without taking anything away from that plot, or the main plot of the game. But hey, good on you for showing that you're a bigot by immediately reacting hostile to the simple idea of adding the OPTIONAL choice of having a trans protagonist. Enjoy being reported.

I couldn't care less about your reports, lol))
I'm reacting to you pressuring the artist. I'm not against a transgender protagonist, I'm against the author changing their story under pressure. You write long messages trying to convince the author to add a scene to the story that was not originally planned. You want to adapt the plot to suit yourself so much, that you forget that this is actually another person's story that they want to tell.

Hey Sweethurt,
In early development in any story it's very much possible to adapt to new information & make alterations if you feel it alignes with your draft/idea.
I'm not under any pressure or feel threatened in anyway, much less a comment that was very kind & informative.
I don't believe backing down from new ideas & opinions because of fear is creative. Creative process can be uncomfortable and push you in the direction that is outside of your comfort zone if it alignes with what you want to achieve and the story that you want to tell.
There was nothing forceful about Allie's question and it really surprises me the amount of backlash she receives for simply asking me a question that many people here seem to feel outside of their comfort zone.
There really is no need for all this hostility in my account or my story.
I am really thankful for everybody's care for my little demo but I have full confidence in my work and myself as a dev to be able to create what I want to create while adapting to possible new features & story elements without taking away from anybody else's enjoyment while also letting a whole lot of people experience this game in a much more comfortable way.
I have no fear to give something a go even if I feel I may not be the best person to do it, as long as I do it honestly.
Like I said, I hope what I end up creating will be fun and comfortable to a lot of people! 💖 Let's just all stay calm and wait until I release the full game to see whether or not I will truly make something subpar because of what many people here assume to be pressure. 😊
