Yeah, stuff like that is harder for a porn game because at the end of the day, regardless of anyone's opinions on gender politics and what not, they still want to be attracted to the LI in the game. And most of us, again despite what we support or don't support, find Mason attractive right now, but wouldn't if he ended up looking like an actual man.
But you're right, though. It would be a really sweet story beat in a friend route. Or even in like.. a bittersweet romance route where the MC makes the decision to support Mason's transition (if that's what Mason really wants) while distancing himself romantically and moving on.

I wouldn't do it, cause at the end of the day this is mostly porn for me (story's ofc phenomenal, but still).
Anyways, I'm so glad Neon has better taste than to club political takes over our heads in his game

. And no, Mason existing as a character is not that. I'm reminded of a game I recently played that had the most
awkward scene referencing political garbage. And it doesn't get any better even if you agree with it, either. It's just not a good way to write a porn game.. for one, it completely ruins your boner, I mean come on wtf is even the goal of porn games these days
OMG, I'll be soooo happy if Mason is a twink/trap trans man
![Love :love: :love:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I find them attractive. It's basically a more extreme tomboy

And I personally would rather not have to feel too guilty on a romance route where Mason wants a ton of hormones and stuff, to the point where he'll be too masculine for my tastes. It's one of those things that's good for story and a feeling of doing what's right to help someone in need, but completely runs counter to a porn VN where your LI basically becomes the opposite of what you're into. I'd imagine you had that in mind when writing Mason, though! Glad that's one thing I don't have to worry about anymore
