This entire sequence serves to belittle trans people - wrong terminology, misgendering, and poking fun at the murder of trans people. I have a 'TRANS IS COOL' sticker on my laptop - I love it, but I'm aware it does put me at risk, because trans-directed violence is real. This joke is saying that anyone can be harmed for their identity, whether they're cis or trans.Ĭis-directed violence is not a thing. But on top of that, this joke is minimising the genuine, real threat of trans violence people face every single day. There is no rule for 'Oh that person is trans', and seeking one out is inherently transphobic. First up: they assume if you're a cis or trans person, playing on the bad assumption that you can tell visually if someone is cis or trans. Regardless of what you chose, you'll be attacked, but they'll say they don't like your type. This then culminates in you going outside and a bunch of 'rednecks' (term used in-game) attacking you for your gender identity. There's no 'none of your damn business' answer. I don't care who you are - you have no right to know whether I'm cis or trans. But also: why does the game care? Why does The Fractured But Whole want to slap the history of your character's gender on the profile? It's utterly irrelevant, creepy, and a result of how people often feel entitled to a trans person's history. The explanation of why that's awful and indicates a rude and offensive ignorance can be found here. Mackey gives a ham-fisted explanation of 'cisgendered' and 'transgendered' people, including the '-ed' suffix. It's not a recognition and apology for getting your character's gender wrong - it just makes fun of you for not fitting them.Īnd following that, Mr. Why on earth does the game misgender your character? I get why - it's trying to play on the assumption of your gender in The Stick of Truth, but misgendering pokes fun at your character. 'Everyone was under the impression that he was a boy. You're not able to say 'No, actually, don't tell them', and on top of that Mr Mackey will say at one point. Mackey will call your parents to make sure they know. You get to choose to be Male, Female, or Other, and if you choose to be a girl, Mr. You were assumed to be a boy in The Stick of Truth, so in The Fractured But Whole, the game actually asks your character's gender. It's separate to the character creator, in a meeting with Mr. But it also has a segment for choosing your character's gender.

You probably remember the thing about the game's skin colour slider recently - I'm white, I'd rather promote someone else's voice on that. So, I've been unable to get a pitch accepted on this, so it's time for Twitter: South Park: The Fractured But Whole looks so nasty.
