The term futanari is actually a slur for intersex people + it's actually not accurate since people aren't actually born with both parts, so it won't be added into the game due to being unrealistic.

You can add both parts though through editing a save, export save as a file, put it in any save editor, and look for pc body parts, then add "vagina" and "clitoris" at end if you picked a character with penis, or other way around, add "penis" and "balls" if you picked a character with vagina. The save should be at the intro point before you get to customize your character's appearance, then after adding those parts in the edit, you import the edited save and continue on with the game.

"who cares about a slur, if it only applies to a small group of people?"

intersex people are more common than redheads, btw. AND "futa" is offensive to most transfems, to add to the numbers upset by it...as if the number being small was ever a justification for knowingly saying a slur, not to mention you throwing in a bunch of terms you KNOW are transphobic, just because SOME trans women identify with them. fuck right off.

ah, seems you've devoted your entire existence and personality to hatred, judging by your other comments on here. I guess I shouldn't have bothered trying to reason with you.

I'm sorry but this is the first term I've heard of a "intersex community" finding futa to be a outright slur, as much as a detest bigots, your argument is flawed in the first place, and I'd advise you to not speak on everyone in a community like they're a monolith as to me, that's offensive to consider nonbinary LGBT+ people like myself to be uniformed in opinion.

I have no skin in the game but going strictly off of definition, futa is not real and in turn SHOULD not be offensive buuuut we all know how humans are and how we like to use words to classify people into categories that are best suited for ourselves either for better or worse. I have heard of some ppl saying it's offensive but I'm pretty sure that's a minority bc if ur around that word you either don't know what is, know that it's completely fictional, or don't care. I always thought shemale was vaguely offensive but I have no evidence that it is. Weird world lol

As a trans lady, yes, Shemale is 100% offensive. I'd rather be called a dickgirl than a shemale. Obviously everyone's different in what they are fine with being called, but that one basically originated as something offensive towards us.

I'd love to continue this conversation but sadly not an appropriate location for it. Just wanna end this with this. It's ok to offend but it's not ok to belligerent. We live in a world where words have dozens of meanings but also none. Remember ignorance is not a sin but that doesn't mean it's not annoying

Not to be that cis guy, but I can dozens of top transwoman influncers who also identify as "shemale." Not only that, but sissy, femboy, whatever too! Sure do I have gripes with word usage? Yes. But the whole point I thought of self-actualization is identifying with whatever terms you associate with the most.

Respectfully, this is just one of those things that are just "It's 100% offensive to me." I get why you hate it, but you can't just claim that a whole community as diverse as this one uniformly despises that word or to the extent you do, respectfully.

You are right though: started as purely derogatory, than transwomen through porn industry reclaimed that word to make big dollas off of it, and now it's one of the biggest categories in the business. A story of triumph, and using your enemies' tricks against them. That's what I see anyways.

But I'll call anyone what the WANT to be called and I default to transwoman. The key is reading the room, being aware of words, and just coming at it respectfully. Respect can wash away someone doubting your pure intent, in my experience.

Do agree dickgirl sounds more elegant, ngl.

Or, we could think of it like this: What is trans porn typically labelled like BY cis people? Those offensive terms listed. So, why would trans women post under those terms online? Simple: Because that's what people are looking for. That's HOW people are looking for it. So, you label it in a way that gets the most clicks, even if it's directly offensive to you as a creator. Making it a sadly, self-perpetuating cycle.

This isn't just like, theorizing, by the way, I know trans women who work in porn who have directly stated that the reason they 'identify' using those offensive terms is because it's what's expected of them. Dozens of them. I've never seen one that's like, 'yeah, I'm fine with it and it doesn't feel bad' it's always, 'it feels bad, but I need the views'.

As for 'trans women using femboy', that could easily be some form of non-binary, but that term isn't inherently offensive like 'shemale' is. That one is JUST offensive.

Richardo4454 days ago(+1)(-1)

Than, as another commentor has said, trans people in sex work and porn should stop using it, even if it drives down clicks if that's really the reason, because otherwise it just creates a cycle where trans people complain about cis people using that word, but use it in porn. That, assumes, trans people are basically one big monolith, which they aren't I'd guess.

And like the other person said, know dozens of trans people, in the West and USA for that matter, who have no problems with that word, as long as it's used respectfully and with consideration towards what others would want to be called. The fact is, the ones that DETEST it are the loudest.

Honestly, and this is wild, sissy as a word seems more accept in the LGBT+ sphere than shemale, which denotes the said transfem usually making a cis guy her bottom. And I know many do have a problem with the usage of sissy too in terms of self-identification, but not to the extent as shemale or even dickgirl. Which is WILD, ironic, but funny as all heck too. So I can't quite see your point, Annie. But I'm not one to invalidate others experiences, as long as you don't invalidate others.

Richardo4456 days ago(+3)(-1)

Same, neither do I. Plus what is and isn't offensive is based on the induvial person. So my best piece of advice is reading the room, maintaining your beliefs firm but being respectful is key to navigating this space.

To all the other replies to this:

It is the opinion of the CoT Moderators (and the diverse group of developers and contributors ) that "futa" is a slur, and the word is actually on our banned words list in the Discord.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it is a term that will not be used in this game.

As owliy has said, it is possible to mod your personal copy of the game to achieve that, if you wish, but it'll never be an "official" addition to the game.

johnnyjohnsonlongcock7 days ago (1 edit) (+6)(-11)

Fair enough, just keep in mind that it's YOUR specific subset of the community that finds that term offensive, and others have different opinions, the majority like you said, but I love the game and the vibes its going for, just don't want it to devolve into a "I'm banning anyone who uses this term even if it's not referring to IRL people because I don't like it!" because I really appreciate how you and other moderators care about the project.

Edit: Ok wow, take it all you hate the cool and lovely trans and nonbinary people, who I've seen HUNDREDS of, identify with those terms too, by extentsion? Got you. Maybe intention and respect is the real issue, folks, as words can have MANY different meanings to MANY different people.

OpalescentAnnie5 days ago(+1)(-2)

I'm gonna repost this as a reply to you, because I know why those terms are used by trans people, and am trans myself.

As for 'trans women using femboy', that could easily be some form of non-binary, but that term isn't inherently offensive like 'shemale' is. That one is JUST offensive.

Than, with all due respect, if they find it dehumanizing they need to stop using it all together if your theory has any weight to it, because to me. if you find a term offensive but just use it for clicks, you're perpetuating the 'problem.' And again, important to remember, that's YOUR experience, I've known dozens of transwomen, recently too, that have no qualms about the usage of shemale or futa.

All that being said, as a transgirl myself, my default is transwoman, and as a trans persons myself, I appreciate your perspective, even if I don't wholly agree with it.
