There're a ton of great lines in this.

>Frequently, allegations this character must be trans were used to suggest her appearance discredited her right to womanhood
1. Well, yeah. Trannies don't want to be a woman anymore. Isn't your cult supposed to defend whatever the tranny says it is at any given moment? How are we not correct in "denying womanhood" here?
2. It is axiomatically impossible for a character to look like that in a post-apocalyptic world. Artificial hormone production wouldn't exist, so any woman wouldn't look like a man and any man wouldn't have a high voice. Furthermore, in a situation in which ~90% of the population has died, deviance from heterosexuality would be met with instant execution, as it's a threat to the survival of the rest of humanity. It's just not believable.
>The game also featured a prominent transgender character
Yeah, Abby. Also the rest of the queers in the story.
>Driven by fury and bloodlust, she embodies the identity of an onryō, a vengeful female spirit said to be unstoppable in its quest for revenge on the living.
Yeah, lol, women are really emotional, aren't they?
>Many of the core of the arguments boil down to “I don’t believe a woman could murder a strong and combat-trained man.”
Notice how the author doesn't even pretend to try to refute this statement.
>Regardless of their justifications
Translation: "They're objectively correct."
>I think
Your opinion is irrelevant. We have stated what our views are. You don't get to marxsplain our own views to us.
>the main character is a woman, played by a nonbinary actor.
Yeah, we don't support mental illnesses. We will never concede on this point. Nothing you say or do will change it.
>Their performance
Singular.
>Outside of their acting performance, Ishii is outspokenly antifascist.
Wow, we don't support communist terrorist organizations. What a shocker. Also, doesn't Antifa "not actually exist," and therefore "no one can ever be punished for it"? Why are you now saying someone is Antifa?
>In their minds, as a trans woman credited on the game
You'll kill yourself in a few years anyway, man. No one cares about you.
>I obviously must have singlehandedly forced Bioware to make the game woke against their will.
No one ever said or implied this and you know it.
>you can see how flimsy these arguments are if you look at them for more than a moment.
You've yet to disprove any of them.
>I wish we could just ignore this vocal but small minority of bigoted creeps
lol, same.
>but their hate campaigns are unfortunately having real impacts on the kinds of games we are seeing get made.
Well, yours are. We have no power whatsoever.
>Ubisoft last year canceled development of an Assassin’s Creed game set in the post–Civil War United States, where players would have played a Black former slave fighting against the early formation of the KKK.
What a great idea. Slaughtering white people en masse, on purpose, specifically, in a video game! That will definitely sell well!
>vocal right-wing backlash against Yasuke, a Black samurai
The thing that didn't exist, you mean? The thing that Japan's government itself demanded the company explain? Why is this white people's fault?
>Video game executives are unfortunately listening to this vocal minority of [subhuman] voices and allowing them to make boardrooms shy away from [sane] themes.
Fixed. No one is listening to "the right," even in your false dichotomy.
>If these movements can wrap anything big or small into these [communist] culture wars and make enough noise, they can make anything but a [faggot nigger tranny wheelchair-bound castrated] protagonist feel like an inherently political creative choice.
Fixed.
>Having your game’s hero be a woman who can fight
Women can't fight unless it's against other women or children.
>casting a nonbinary actor because they were the best fit for the role
This has never happened.
>should not be considered any more political a choice than having a white man play a white male lead character.
"Hey guys, look, I cast an Irish woman character using the blackest gorilla nigger in existence… HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS IS A LESS CORRECT CHOICE!"
>This issue of right-wing men attacking minority creatives and characters in video games has been going on for well over a decade at this point
This tranny has only been paying attention for ten years?

>I'm just going to be equally vocal
Translation: I will kill myself before the end of next year.
