I disagree - I think it’s amazing for inclusivity. I think not drawing attention to the fact she’s trans whilst using the family in all the promo for the pack is great - they weren’t drawn into tokenism for publicity. You only find out if you’re playing the family and take the time to get to know them by scratching the surface of who they are. If you’re only interacting with them on a surface level it’s not relevant. It only becomes relevant when you’re playing from their POV. Plus it’s creating characters with rich and interesting back stories. Love it!
I
almost agree, however, the bolded part sounds a bit too on the nose for me, so I’ll take this a step further:
I’m glad Celeste wasn’t promoted as being one thing or another, that way we can make up our own minds about who this sim is or what she ‘identifies’ as if we so
choose. Sure, some may recognize her as being ‘trans’, others see this sim as simply having a quirky set of gender characteristics. So what? In a game in which males can get impregnated by aliens (or are these males trans now? ) this stuff is only relevant in terms of what story every
individual wants to tell and what feels important to
them.
Whatever is done with the information given is up to each player and I like to think that’s what this game is all about. ??
