this whole thing with Skye seemed have gotten a bit outta hand. there was no sense in attacking or insulting anyone over this.

Hmm... Very confused about Skye, What role will she/he plays in the future ? I'm not even sure if she/he will play a major role in romance because nothing said if she/he like girls or boys, just wanted to identify herslef/itself at a boy... Maybe she/he is a pure tomboy ?

Mostly yeah but its not what i want but what i would like... best things about these kind of games is options, also two forced gfs at the start are actually quite cool the fact they are forced on mc is what bother me, the game did 180 on me when i found that out. I found the game and its initial story interesting but i lost little interest when i found this out.

i'd say 3 total pages of this thread need nuking..y'all weird..its been since pretty much day one..Jamie and Shauna are the only unavoidables..everything else is avoidable including Shauna's peepee..so all this complaining bout stuff you'll be able to avoid is kind of senseless...play the game..chose "naw bra" when something comes that aint in your yumyum zone and be happy..stop whining because you have choice..thats..weird.

I mean I get it but, then the story wouldn't make any sense. The only reason mc goes to WVM is number 1, because of Shauna, and number 2, because of gf and her sister. Wanting to cut them out to give you more choice makes sense, but then you wouldn't be going to the shit basketball team at WVM either.

Totally honest? I only have one problem with Skye: As a former student-athlete myself, I can tell you that s/he tests the plausibility of the story.
The current rules regarding transgender athletes at the NCAA level is this (simplified, to get to the point): Men playing on women's teams makes those teams "mixed" and ineligible for championship status. Women playing on men's teams is permitted, but if they begin transition, they're ineligible (primarily, because the procedure involves testosterone -- a banned substance by the NCAA).
Both situations compromise -- or potentially compromise, at the very least -- a team's status with regard to championship eligibility. And since (let's face it) the only reason collegiate bodies push athletics so hard is because of the money involved. Said money is usually generated by teams that win championships. Consequently, accepting transgender athletes is a money issue to schools around the country, not a moral or ethical one. This should be no surprise, but that's another issue entirely.
Personally, I dig the tomboy archetype. In full disclosure, I didn't pick the trans route for my character, either (just my own personal thing; I'm not sexually interested in a trans partner). So I'm hoping that perhaps Skye fits into my interests -- a lesbian tomboy that I can possibly romance, somewhere down the road. But if s/he doesn't, that's fine, too. I like that the character's included in the game. It's not all about what tickles my fancy. If s/he happens to fit somebody else's fantasy -- that's awesome.
Props to Braindrop for having the courage to include Skye in the game. Just make sure you keep it sports-realistic for us washed-up old athletes, man!

Well he did state he wasn't planning on doing anything body altering when asked, so I think NCAA eligibility holds up.Totally honest? I only have one problem with Skye: As a former student-athlete myself, I can tell you that s/he tests the plausibility of the story.

Noooooo, no no no. Shauna and Skye are the traps.
I think it is interesting to see how confused and shocked people become with the introduction of a trans character. Sure, it kind of came out of the blue but it is not like the sexual aspect was being stuffed straight into your face. Not sure about how ready the sports world in general would be to accept a trans person to a relatively conservative sport though. And it is not like you have to do anything about it, unlike a certain potentially shady character offering herself to you every step of the way. Surely we all wish to live in our bubbles, but who knows when the day arrives for you in real life when something like that happens. There are "things" out there in games and real life that I personally would not like to deal with, but I think the purpose of this particular art form (along with movies, music, literature etc.) is to make you think. If everything was straight-lined, homogeneous and/or just like _we_ want I would not call it life. But, that is just my personal opinion. Everyone is entitled to theirs of course

it's not that we're shocked-i chose trans Shauna. it's just that Skye was shoved at us-expecting us to call a girl a ''he'' . besides, i'm not really sure she even qualifies as trans, anyway.I think it is interesting to see how confused and shocked people become with the introduction of a trans character.

The MC has been very open about calling people the correct noun all the time, but now when a female to male trans joins the game he would stop doing that, because Skye identifies himself as a he? That makes no sense.
And if a person identifies him/herself as that gender then they are that gender.
People don't just suddenly become transgender after taking hormones/post operations. If they feel like they are the opposite gender that is when.
The MC would be a douche to refuse to call Skye a he.
To be honest, my first reaction was pretty much "Oh, a new girl! Wait, she is a he or he is a she? Wonder if he/she is "allowed" here? Right, willing to see where this goes".

and for a girl-the correct noun is girl. it's just the way it is. i just can't look at a female body i think she's a guy.
