But people use this game and other games to escape from certain real life issues. No, female characters can't have a bulge in this game, nor do male character can have breasts, or even nipples for that matter. Why do you want to have that option at all ? Just use this game as it is supposed to be used, as a fantasy game to escape from real life. Not as a platform for your own agenda.
The inclusion of trans representation in a video game is not an "agenda". Trans people are a marginalized group that deserve to be seen and recognized in media and society, just like any other group. Representation matters and it helps to break down harmful stereotypes and misconceptions about the trans community.

Furthermore, video games have always been a reflection of real world issues and ideas. Many popular games have tackled social and political issues, and there's no reason why trans representation should be excluded from that. Trans people are part of the real world, and their experiences and struggles deserve to be acknowledged and depicted in media, including video games.

Finally, escapism from the stresses of real life is not the same as escaping from trans people. Trans people are not a problem to be escaped from. Trans representation in video games can provide comfort, validation, and representation to trans players who often feel marginalized and invisible in real life. It's important to remember that everyone has the right to be seen and heard, regardless of whether or not their experiences align with someone else's idea of escapism.
