Forgive me if it's old news, but I hadn't seen this before.

Check out the segment starting at 19:22. Druckman just says it out loud. There was a "pitch" (by team members who were explicitly tasked with injecting diversity) to make a character trans. I don't recall seeing this so directly stated anywhere else. Really confirms what we've long suspected.
Imagine a bunch of tranny and queer devs doing a little power point presentation for their boss explaining why a character in their video game should be trans. Then imagine the boss actually doing it. The state of modern western writing.
Not old news, it's still happening. It's just a lot more subversive than the open 'do this now or else', though.
