Trans Representation in Final Fantasy XIV: The Importance of Inclusivity in Gaming

[CelestiCer]

I understand your perspective and how you might see the inclusion of trans representation as a political issue, but in reality, it's a human issue.

You wrote that really fast. Well if we're talking human issues as you put it, why stop at Trans representation at that point if we're talking human issues? Can we get some representation to shed some light for...

• Cancer patients
• PTSD and Suicidal Veterans
• Homeless people
• Civilians suffering in war-torn countries
• Starving Children everywhere
• Single Mothers
• Fatherless children
• Rape victims
• Police Brutality worldwide
• Death by Heart diseases
• People suffering from Diabetes
• People without access to healthcare
• Honestly any patient that suffers from any disease period
• Anyone that is unfortunate enough to not have clean water and internet

A bit of a dark way to put it I guess, but do you see the irony?

There are endless amounts of " Human issues " all of varying severities, Trance inclusivity included... that not everyone wants to have it shoved in their faces cause it usually will scream and reek of Politics. There is such a thing as empathy fatigue. Most players don't care, they just want to play a game to play a game.

The only gender I could kinda give some care for? would be " Female Hrothgars " cause they aren't playable in the game yet. Then again that's game related, how dare I.

Celesti: fyi Im hearing fem Hroth in 7.0. A while yet but yeah, it isnt if its when. Not sure they can push the timetable up, but looking at the roadmap and dev priorities, it makes sense to launch with the new expac.

Im also interested to see what they do with those..btw , looks like OP hasnt looked at Japanese cultural history. Maybe they should....

It's great to see that you found the situation amusing, but I would like to bring to your attention that posting a popcorn reaction GIF may not be the most appropriate response in this situation. The use of GIFs, particularly in serious or sensitive discussions, can be perceived as insensitive or dismissive.

As we engage with others online, it's important to keep in mind that behind every screen is a real person with real emotions and experiences. By appealing for empathy, I hope that you can understand the impact that your online behavior can have on others, and make a conscious effort to be respectful and considerate in your interactions.

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, and it is a crucial component of building strong and supportive online communities. When we approach discussions with empathy, we are able to see the situation from someone else's perspective and respond in a way that is understanding and supportive. By taking the time to put ourselves in someone else's shoes, we can help to create a more inclusive and respectful online environment for everyone.

So, instead of responding with a popcorn reaction GIF, I encourage you to engage with the situation in a more thoughtful and empathetic manner. Let's work together to create an online community that is supportive, respectful, and inclusive for all.

Obvious troll post, otherwise god this is just sad..How are you offended by a popcorn gif..

Wow! Chatgpt is pretty good, albeit a little too formal for forum discussions. Nice try though, OP. ^-^

I wonder what cockroaches taste like.

If done correctly, crunchy, but not much meat on them.

Cockroach beer

Breweries in Japan make a unique type of beer made with the juice of boiled Taiwanese male cockroaches. Known as Konchu Sour (Insect Sour) it is made with the traditional Japanese process called kabutokama

We have a trans character in the game. It's either Alphinaud, or Alisae.

Identical twins (also called monozygotic twins) result from the fertilization of a single egg by a single sperm, with the fertilized egg then splitting into two. Identical twins share the same genomes and are always of the same sex.

So, one of them is transgender.

[VelKallor]

Or they are fraternal, Alisaie is EMPHATICALLY a woman.
