Firstly, the fact that I call Hazel “she” has nothing to do with the character’s orientation, but rather with my view of him as an effeminate character and that is why I refer to him as “she”, that is something specifically personal.

Secondly, the fact that you say that the game needs more explanation is not cool, you are literally saying that (they do not have the intellectual capacity to do simple research on the topics covered in the game, so I will do what they are incapable of to do)

Not to mention that my intention was never to divert you from your ideals, quite the opposite, I am very happy that you are transmitting your vision to the world.

The fact that I disagree with one point or another does not make your work more or less relevant, and the fact that you question me makes me happy because it only shows how faithful you are to your cause.

My opinion is mine and mine alone. Ultimately, it's up to you to listen, ignore, or question, as you have your own opinion on the matter.

That's the beauty of life, everyone is different in their own way.

Hazel is a dude. I don't know how you could call him "she" when he flat-out says he is a guy.

Second, I know many people who learned a lot from my game, and it's a game where the main character is learning. I don't think I do THAT much explanation in the grand scheme of the game.

I appreciate the critique nonetheless. But maybe learn to refer to characters using correct pronouns and not invent new ones for them.

As as an FTM femboy, I'd feel disrespected and unseen if someone called me she/her behind my back like you are essentially doing to Hazel. Seeing as Hazel is human, not a non-human alien or fantasy world character, surely you can understand how this is flat out inappropriate when applied to actual humans outside of fiction. You don't get to decide someone's identity and pronouns for them. There's no "personal" choice for you, especially when it comes to something that gives people discomfort or worse, anxiety and dysphoria. Just be honest and say you want to pretend Hazel is a girl.

Edit to add that a man's enjoyment of feminine things and presentation (same situation for anyone else really) is not an invitation to call them by pronouns they don't use.

I think you misunderstood what I meant, I only identify him as “she” because he is a fictional character, his will does not exist, what exists is his creator's vision of who he is.

like any character in a work of fiction, they can be changed at will, as they are blank pages.

For example, Goku from Dragon Ball, everyone knows he's a man, but what stops me from drawing him as a transvestite, femboy, futanari or even a woman?

When I said it was something personal I meant it literally, I even changed the game's script so that in my game he identifies himself as "she" I changed several dialogues I created an exclusive version just for me where Hazel identifies herself as "she".

Now we have to separate what is fictional from the real, you are a human being and not a character created by someone, you are the one who defines your life and how you identify and not some entity from another astral plane defining your choices, you write your own story.

...you change the game script just to avoid admitting you like dudes?

Seriously, just for starters, I'm pansexual, the person's gender just doesn't matter, but that doesn't matter, the important thing is that you're being prejudiced.

There is one thing I would never question anyone about: another person's sexuality, which is sacred.

The moment you question another person's sexuality you demoralize them, it's one thing to question how to identify a non-existent character, it's another thing to demoralize another human being, this only denotes a lack of character.

But at the end of the day I just don't care what you think of me, if you want to think of me as the person who hides her taste in handsome guys, go ahead. 😉
