Jackbutt: Yeah.... Claire, pictured above, is transgender just because in one sentence she says, "During my sex change...."? Please. Look at her. Look at her in the game. There's nothing trans about her. That's like me making a generic female video game character and saying, "Oh, she's trans btw."
Look: Video game characters are not real. They are not birthed into the world as male or female, who later in life decide to "change" their gender into the opposite/other of what they were birthed. They digital entities designed as a male or female from the point of artistic conception. Thereafter: developers, at behest of the writers/directors/bosses, make a comical if not pathetic attempt to make them transgender for the sole reason of pandering to .010% of the population just so they can say, "Hey! Look at us! We care about transgender people too! We have one in our game!"
By not it's turned pathetic: game studios making such tactless and obvious (read: desperate) attempts at proving to the general populous that they are in, or "woke", or whatever term you want to use to describe it. And the sad part is it works. Most of you folks gobble it up without a second thought. "Oh! They included a gay/bi/trans/whatever character in the game! Let me go give them a monetary donation and a +gold star!"
Claire is female. Everyone knew that playing the game; everyone still does. That single line she dropped was likely written into the game after everything else was finished, as a few top dogs at CDPR were sitting around the break room mulling over, "So, now that we're about done, who do we quickly make trans with a line or two of dialogue just to cover our bases?" And suddenly we are supposed to believe, or even care, that she's trans? How does that even have any impact on anything? At all? It doesn't. Like I said: obvious, and tactless, and desperate. Comical.
Gh0sty_Guy: NastyTroll: A fucking good one at that. Didn't even realize until my third playthrough. Gotta love that future surgery technology. Still smash though.
