I tried posting this on old reddit kia, and it keeps getting removed:

Why would it surprise anyone, when the director of the game listed themselves as a "Queerosexual Gendermancer", had all the usual "support flags" of that which shall not be named in their Twitter profile (which was then removed/hidden), and describes the Dragon Age franchise as:

“As a [that-which-shall-not-be-named] I have a perspective on the games that not everyone has. Dragon Age has long been a place where [that-which-shall-not-be-named] folks can see people like themselves, represented respectfully. It’s inherently very queer, and it’s such a rare thing for marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted.”

Do people honestly not think this sort of person being in charge might cause the game to be used as a platform for pushing a particular brand of politics front and center?

Seriously - there's no mystery here. These sorts of activists use whatever they have control of to push their politics.

I have scrubbed everything out of it that mentions "trans", and there are now literally zero mentions of the word-that-shall-not-be-named in there, but it is still verboten to point out why the game is like it is.

It so tiresome to see how effectively and completely these people have seized control of the debate, and have made it impossible to criticize them, or do anything that would give uninformed masses in the middle a reason to question what is going on.

They claimed it was because of admin pressure, which was probably true to some extent, but everyone knows that they were thankful to have the excuse to finally force it without having to deal with blowback.

It seems to be one particular mod, as that comment I posted up above (with every "offending" word redacted) was hidden for a while, but was eventually allowed (obviously it was reviewed by some other mod, and allowed...), and got up to like 30 or so upvotes. Then, after it had already been approved the other mod that had removed it before:

Eremeir [Modertial Exarch - likes femcock] (<- Actual tag, not added by me)

came around and removed it again.

I'm guessing that particular mod is one of the leftist commissars that was inserted into the mod crew a while back, as they're the one that seems to go around removing all the trans stuff (even when you've redacted everything like I had done).

Again - it's so fucking tiresome to see the degree to which this <1% of the population has been allowed to near completely take over and control almost all big public online discourse. If not for crazy ass Musk sinking 44 BILLION into fucking Twitter, their control would be almost 100%.
