Tell Me Why Is Free So Players Can Support Trans And Queer Communities Directly

@id0ntkn0w7: Since i played the game i just feel it gets an unjustified backlash so i replied to several posts.

If ones liked other episodic games,imo,there is no reason not to try this game out.

In one posts here i point out how good the story is(and presented) and in the other post i point out how the devs put a great attention to detail around the graphical presentation(characters and the environment,its very atmospheric).

Well,i didnt knew i was replying to a bi person but that doesnt change the fact this is not a cheap interactive movie as that person claimed it to be.
As it turned out,that person just doesnt like episodic games.

@hardwenzen: All those who liked the Telltale games or Life is Strange and its prequel care or games like Detroid Became Human think different i guess.

Obviously you dont have fun with such games,nothing wrong with that.

Still,its a very well told story with characters you can identify with,you care about decisions and the story has no flawed pace.

I see it like this...you spend 12-15 buck to watch a movie in a theatre and its a passive experience.
With this game you have a great told story and you are more involved in the outcome...for free.

Tell Me Why would i do such thing?

@Akriel_Boulve: We're talking about getting a game that doesn't cost a cent. Call me old fashioned, but that = free to me. 🤭

@nilsdoen: I disagree, I feel it creates and/or perpetuates a negative stereotype about LGBT+ persons that frequently becomes a point of contention not only with opponents to the pride movement but proponents as well. It's heavy handed exploitation, not a new practice, and something that has even been criticized for decades now. The success of Pride is built on OPEN awareness, this is different from being open, this is being flamboyant. The entire idea of using an LGBT+ person as a selling point is where Pride falls, not rises. It's not making us look like people, it's making us look like a marketing scheme.

It goes beyond simply LGBT+ as well, as tokenism, that is, the practice of trying to appeal to a specific minority group (most commonly persons of color) by raising a single representative character of that group on a pedestal. This has been an issue in media since I'd say the late 1960's, where racist and bigoted producers would write off their transgressions by saying "Oh but we actually HAVE a black person! See, look at him acting and stuff!". No, that's not what representation of any group should be, a person is always a person first, not some social/political status.

I'm not being fragile about it, if someone wants to make a negative LGBT+ stereotype, whatever, I won't support them and that will be the end of it, but if they are doing it and saying they are MORE culturally aware and helpful by doing so, I'm going to point out that it's blatantly false, because otherwise you get bigots insisting they are actually good people for supporting borderline propaganda against LGBT+ groups, that is, the practice of using LGBT+ as a selling point.

TL : DR it's the corporate equivalent of "I'm actually not homophobic, I have a gay friend" and making money off it
