Again, we can see this is something that trans people who don’t “read” as cis go through. At the intersection of being fat and trans, sometimes transition is held hostage to weight loss despite the devastating mental effects that can have.įat women are shunned socially. This is something fat people have to experience a lot, up to and including misdiagnoses, refusal to provide prescriptions, and even ignored cancers. The brilliant (on Twitter) described it as Trans Flu when your doctor blames any and all medical problems on your transness.

In some ways, this can be similar to what trans people go through. Groovy.įat women get worse medical treatment. Just wanted to make that clear before we go any further. Though fat people do experience violence (and fat trans people may be more likely to experience violence), it is in no way comparable to the suicide rate and assault rate that transgender people face. This comparison, however, is not to suggest that these are equally violent forms of oppression. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.I use the transgender experience, being gender non-binary myself, to compare and describe the experience of being fat.

But the idea that this reboot looked bad because it “got woke” and is now failing because of some sort of series-betraying heel-turn toward liberalism, that literally does not reflect the reality of what’s in the game itself.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. If you want to critique the script, the gameplay, the action, the characters, sure, I can see a lot of those arguments as Saints Row lacks a lot of polish in many places. Is a brown girl on the box instead of a white guy making the game woke? Is one single character mentioning his ex-boyfriends? Is it the lack of a dildo bat? I don’t get it. You kill civilians, police, everyone who gets in your way, just like all the other games, just like GTA. The main storyline is still just murdering a lot of gangs and a private security firm to secure territory for yourself. And essentially nothing I mentioned is even…anything. And…I literally cannot think of anything else after 20 hours of gameplay here.
