Hate to be that guy, but putting gender politics into a VN is stupid... and its killing the vibe....
Sorry for stating my opinion (which was totally not insulting in any way) , I suppose having opinion is not allowed, i will educate myself on this and not have an opinion again unless it somehow aligns with your views, mein führer.
Yeah, because not liking your opinion makes someone a Nazi.
I don't want to get into a discussion about this again, but since you play the "I'm oh so innocent, you guys are mean" -card, let me explain why people think your comment is bigoted.
People like you think that just adding a trans-character into any form of media is politics, that's not the case. As long as the character is well-written and fits into the story, it's nothing but reflecting reality.
Because as much as some people want to simply ignore the existence of transpeople or non-binary people, they exist and so having one in your story isn't political in itself, it's just showing the world as it is.
It would honestly be more political if you had a certain amount of characters and all were just heterosexual cis-gender people, because that would be unlikely in today's world in a relatively large city.
Now, if Neonghost had 2 transgender characters and 3 non-binary characters, and one asexual and two pansexual characters, then you might have a point, because that would really mean shoving it into people's faces. But there is just one character and Mason fits very well into the cast, they are almost all people in need that the MC wants to help for reasons, depending on the direction of your playthrough, that goes for Mason as well.
Nothing he experiences or has experienced is unrealistic, this is all stuff that happens to TG people, if you show something that exists, without overdoing it or making it worse than it is, how is this political?
And I mean, you can even go and address Mason as a Girl, he will not like it, but you can do it, so you can even play as someone who doesn't accept that gender can be defined as more than just pure biology.
If Neonghost were all political and pushing an agenda, he wouldn't offer that option.
