I kind of wish that we had the opportunity to not interact with Mason if we didn't want to. I have no real interest in spending time with a dude but it feels like a dick move to force Mason to be a female. I honestly don't like any interactions with Mason and would prefer no interactions. You have to defend Mason from a bully, you have to deal with Mason's personal backstory. I don't care about any of it.

An easy way around it could be for the game to give you a choice. If you don't want to be personally involved but still supportive, the Main Character could decide to ask Nikki to help get Mason back on his feet instead of you.

Best thing you can do for now is befriend Mason, and nothing is stopping you calling the stuttering mess as she.

Let me assure you that, as someone who spent over 20 years of his adult life programming, it is not "an easy way around it".

EVERY time Mason has interactions with other characters, not just the MC, at the very least, code would have to be created to exclude him from the scene. If renders are necessary (as they usually are), a second set of renders would be required to handle the dislike of Mason.

I'm sure there are more problems involved, it has been almost 20 more years since I last looked at code. HEY, maybe we could have an "exclude Mason patch" similar to the existing exclude Nicki patch! I hope everyone understands that this patch proposal is just a joke.

EDIT: added the missing word programming ... oops

The game's name is Friends in Needs because of the whole premise of Guy helping people in need, giving back some of the riches he luckly got on that pyramid scheme called bitcoins.
It is quite nonsensical to expect that you can completelly avoid a main character in a game like this. But hey no one is forcing you to have sex with Mason, Guy can simply befriend him. No reason to start leaking bigotry over it...:rolleyes:

I have hang ups and would like the dev to do EVEN MORE WORK so I don't have to do things I think are icky... rather than just not playing this game.

Fixed it for you.

i honestly don't see the point of having a character like Mason. I mean sure i would prob f Ellen Page, but Elliot Page? come on. This game is for heteros. Can we be consistent on this? There are other games on site catered to the other group. There is no need to scream bigotry everytime a hetero expresses his sexuality preference.
Click to expand...
I disagree on this
Mason is a great character
He helps give the story more depth.

And Neon Isn't catering to anyone he is making the game he wants to make.
And some people don't even want to interact with Mason which is just stupid.
They want him gone completely
Even though he makes the story better imo

It is a long story. But it is a joke patch. You just can't practically play the game if you use it.

How is this person being bigotted over it? They're saying they're not wanting sex with a trans man, and that they feel its a dick move to refer to him as she, ie, they're expressing their own personal sexual preference of not being interested in a trans man, and that they don't want to deadname / invalidate who he is

I can't say I agree with their complaint, as, which has already been stated, the playthrough with Mason allows you to merely be "friends", ie help but no sexual content, as is the case I think with most of the characters

Maybe because that poster wants nothing to do with Mason
He wants Neon to give an option to avoid Mason completely
That kinda sounds like entitlement to me
If they payed attention they would know you can just be friends with him
If the character annoys him that much then he should probably not play the game.
He just sounds rude thb
