@exocrinous Honestly, who cares she is trans. Gender dosent defines person. That is like saying "Lotus was voiced by straight woman". Completely irrelevent. Her voice acting is excelent and that is only thing that matters for voice actress in context of voice acting.
I like that at least one trans person helped make Warframe, because Warframe is a trans allegory and it makes me feel good. Kinda adds layers that the only Tenno NPC we know of is voiced by a trans person.
Second DreamBefore my egg cracked, my operator was masculine but I mained a feminine Warframe. Now I know who I am, my operator is feminine, and I still main the same Warframe. That’s a really cool ludonarrative synchronicity. I was trans in Warframe before I even knew I was trans. Hell yeah, that’s just good game design.
Dream not of what you are, but of what you want to be.
@exocrinous You know, maybe trans person helped to make warframe because they are employed based on thier skills and abilities, not gender. There is possibly more. Coders, designers, graphic artists. Gender isnt factor, never was. I know some companies are especially homophobic or mysogenic but considering warframe has canon trans person and lesbian couple DE isnt one of those. Such fact should come as no suprise
@exocrinous Saying warframe is trans allegory is misleading at best. Warframe is murder sandbox. It is whatever you make it to be. Operators lack much of character or identity so people can make own. If your jorney thru warframe was trans allegory, great for you but warframe overall isnt. Lot of straight males myself included prefer to play female characters. Especially in 3rd person prespective games. People like to play as characters they precrive as attractive. This is common thing.
This game is hella (beautifully) queer, I mean heck, that Whispers in the Walls quest
Honestly the ludonarrative synchronicity is also strong for me
Angels of the ZarimanFor one the “ooh this was meant to be so good for you and everyone but oopsie” rings strong for me in our current economic conditions :P The inheriting of the problems is resonant as well
whispers in the wallsAnd heck, sweet gay loid, that quest finally got my hooked on the lore because of the gay , /pos
::: spoiler whispers Don’t forget that the Tenno defeated the Man In The Wall (for now) with a loving male-on-male caress.
I saw someone theorise that the opposite of indifference is sympathy. Tagfer says the murmur seem like they just want to be involved with what’s going on in reality. The Tenno ability to love a monster is the hard counter to whatever the Man In The Wall is planning. Whether the Man In The Wall is the indifference, or the murmur is, or they both are, or neither are, sympathy was the key to stopping Them and it may continue to be. We don’t know what motivates Them, but I think winning this battle for good is gonna take some forgiveness and empathy. And also They’re queer AF. I dunno what it is but They give off that vibe. Kinda reminds me of the Collector from Owl House, who’s a demiboy. ::
