I've been a longtime player of DF and followed development pretty closely for.. Maybe 10 years? The devs are barely ever political. They programmed gay dwarves, but at a statistically appropriate representational level, and it's never even noticeable. The game is famously brutal and it deserves its reputation.
The so-called mermaid genocide fix, if I remember right, was mostly about their bones being too highly valued to even be logical. You can mass murder anything and make an entire fortress out of bones. They didn't stop that. You can mass murder your own fucking children if you want and make statues out of them, and craft coats out of their skin. They don't care.
The trans thing I didn't know about. Whatever. Dwarven psychology is pretty deep and about as fucked up as human psychology. If it makes you feel better, build a prison for all one of your tranny dwarves or exile them into the caves and make them fight for their survival. It literally doesn't matter.
Thank you for the response! That last paragraph is hilarious, but it's not trans people I hate per se, but the injection thereof.
Mass infanticide sounds pretty based though.
Dwarf Fortress has always been somewhat of a life sim of dwarves, in addition to colony management, base building, etc.
They've got other mental disorders that can affect your dwarves, I don't see why having tranny dwarves are any different. It is a mental illness after all
I see your point.
