Fully transitioned characters are exactly what I'd be into... I don't dig dick, it's a turn off. I do think trans women are women though, and would love for more games to actually allow MC to support his LI all the way through her tramsition.Kind of hard to escape fetishes when it's a porn game really. That plus every dev probably bases their characters around what they themselves are into or at least not turned off by. And fact is most guys that wanna see pussy are looking for women women or pre-op trans men, not post-op trans women, whereas most guys who want to see cock are looking for pre-op trans women or other men, not post-op trans men.
Also, I think most trans people don't get bottom surgery? So, in that regard, it's pretty representative or w/e.
But I do think it would be interesting to see a fully transitioned character from a writing pov, just don't see many players being into them from a LI perspective. I don't know, maybe I'm off there, just a hunch. And that potentially eats into the dev's income, not to mention sanity from the bitching, so unless they're fully committed to that character, it just isn't going to happen is how I figure it.
Anyways, back on-topic, that was one reason why I was hoping for a trans woman character because most of the games that have them just have bleh writing. I don't really see fetishization as a problem, but it does usually make the writing worse. It would've been nice to see a well-written one for once. But alas, it isn't to be. At least there's Mason, next best thing in that regard, for me anyways. I could see Neon having at least a scene or two where Mason dawns a strap-on or prosthetic or something for some gay play. Not to fuck the MC lol, but just to go with the whole "I'm a man" thing, especially during anal scenes.
I realize a lot of IRL trans women don't get bottom surgery, but how much of that is just shitty capitalism vs not wanting it, I'd be curious to know.
It's always felt like trans women in porn are used for closeted bi dudes who are afraid to admit they also like dick, and so have to strap it onto a feminine body (this is extremely reductive and obviously not representative of how everyone who's into pre-op trans women feels, it's just how the porn involving them reads to me). Which that's fine different strokes for different folks, but it just doesn't do anything for me.
But I'm also a yes all player cause I like to see the stories so usually I just grin and bear it (like with particularly flat women, or younger adults than I'd ever be interested in irl) as long as the characterization grabs me I'm good.
I do wish more games which have a toggle for yes trans or no trans and use different character models, would have a fully transitioned or not suboption though.
Bit rambly wall of text sorry.
