Could you add a possibility to disable these trans things? Watersport could be disabled, breeding could be disabled and these things are much more common and natural than that. So, if it is a simulator, there should be a possibility to disable trans things too. It is a good game, please don't spoil it.

Why assume its a transphobia/bigotry thing?
They specifically listed certain preferences and the like, and are putting trans in that category, which - to a certain extent - is valid.
Obv irl, people should do live however they want and be treated with dignity, love, and respect. But in terms of personal preference, nobody is wrong; not everyone is going to be into us - and that's okay. (No different than any other preference)
It would be fine imo if the world generation sliders allowed all-girl college, or all-guy college, or all-trans, or all-non-binary, or any mix thereof.
Why is it a bad thing to want a porn game to have options so it can better meet personal preferences?
I understand that as things are currently, certain events do require a minimum number of different categories to work properly, so this isn't exactly a feasible ask atm
(Speaking of which as an aside, I'd also like it if there were some more specific events relating to trans / non-binary, such as optional events transitioning in-game, but there's obv a limit to what can be developed - and there's already a lot other stuff on the itinerary)
they're calling trans people "less natural" than things like watersports and breeding, dude. they consider being unable to remove trans people from the game "spoiling it." both they, and you, need to get out of here, this is not a space for your ilk. being trans is not a fetish to toggle off, it is not "unnatural," and having a "preference" against trans people is not valid, it's bigoted, plain and simple. if they wanted to remove non-white people from the game, would you look at that as anything other than racist? would you defend that as a "valid preference?"
edit: completely forgot to mention "these trans things." don't pretend to be an ally, if you can't recognize dehumanization that blatant.
Doesn't seem like I can post my response to Wulfies in direct reply to them, so I'll post my thoughts here for the record
Specifically; In terms of 'sexual' preference, yes - I would defend wanting an option to remove non-white people from the game. I would also defend wanting to remove white people from the game, or blondes, or people with big butts, or men.
And again I'll reiterate; None of what I'm saying here applies to IRL.
If someone said they would prefer if there were no Trans people IRL - Or any other group really - That would be bigoted.
If someone said they don't want to have sex with a Trans person - That is not bigoted; they just have a sexual preference that doesn't include me, it isn't a personal slight on my personhood, freedoms, or rights.
And in this case - Given the context of this being a porn game - I'd consider their sexual preferences to be relevant for what they'd like to encounter when playing.
So I can, and will, absolutely defend everything "I" have said.
As for the line of Trans being 'unnatural'. I can see why others might find a line like this hurtful, but I personally don't - I was not 'naturally' born a woman, nature sucks and messes up sometimes, and we rise above it.
They might have meant more than that when calling Trans unnatural, and they definitely could have been better spoken even if they meant nothing bad by it; but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since I don't know them and can't read their mind.
the audacity it takes someone, to go in the comments of a game that openly advertises the fact that it features queer characters, with LGBTQIA+ in the tags, and everything, and ask for the ability to completely remove trans characters, when there are already thousands of other games that don't touch anything queer in the slightest...bigots are too bold, man, it's unbelievable.
While I'll roll my eyes at that crowd acts/says, as I said in another comment, that's like going to the shemale category on a website and getting offended at chicks with dicks. So in this instance, you are totally in the right. Though do try to calm down and maintain composure, best to just laugh at them. Plus you saying for them to leave won't have the affect you think it does, it's basic internet usage 101.
Nope, sorry. The team's artistic vision for the game includes trans NPCs; you can use the sliders to set the amount of them that's generated very low, but you can't remove them completely. This is a failsafe so that if we write in a new character archetype that requires the assigned character to be transgender -- say, a mini arc about a character coming to terms with their identity, or something -- the game for sure has an NPC ready to go for it instead of having to retcon an already-existing one to fit that mold.
Consider: would you rather have like ten NPCs already be trans so you can just avoid them if you're not into that, or have a character you're actively involved with get retconned as trans in a game update?
It doesn't really make sense to have a specific archetype that's just one gender when, as far as I can recall, all the archetypes are written to be fluid in genders. Is there a specific archetype that's solely one gender in the game so far? It'd seem strange for there to be a mini arch for just one archetype that specifically NEEDS a trans person.
As much as I love to laugh at these people, that's like saying at a feminist rally "Can we please tone done the womanly things?" Like it's fucking stupid, it's the main draw of the game, either you're unaware or this game isn't for you, and this is coming from someone who laughs at the neo-pronouns bs.
