(Spoilers for Mare and Trigger warnings below: Transphobia, Attempted Suicide)
Hello,
In particular with this scene, it is meant to feel horrible that someone would say that to Chiyo. It is meant to show the horrible comments that those in the trans community are subjected to, just as Chiyo was and how unacceptable they are.
This part of the game was never meant to be comfortable. When developing this part of the game, I reached out to multiple members of the trans community, some who are devs that I am good friends with, and asked their opinion on the scene and how I should handle it. I was told to not make light of such things, especially with how this leads to Chiyo's attempted suicide.
The game shows a reality that should not be obscured just because it is uncomfortable, rather it should be addressed and show what it leads to. There have been warnings listed multiple times in the front page, in the read me folder of the game, so that no one would miss those.
