Why aren't you exploring themes of marginalization and empathy in your games?

I prefer different themes, such as shared humanity in crisis situations and the brutality of nature.

I'm more about social contracts this week.

this is a game about being trans. I mean, it's actually pretty good at what it does, but it would be nice if it said so up front.

>The Fae Folk (the broadly accepted proper term) are a subset of the human race accounting for no more than 1% of the total population.
Copied from the actual document. This was about as far as I got into reading the document before I realized the whole "game" is pretty much designed for everyone to live out thinly-veiled fantasies of being more special than everyone else.
For some reason I kept reading.
>Years of living in a mundane shell have leaves fae folk unable to naturally produce the aether
necessary to manifest their true selves. Luckily, synthetic aether is relatively inexpensive to
manufacture, but it is tightly regulated and cannot be legally obtained without a prescription. With it, you feel like yourself. Without it the world loses it’s color and you suffer from lethargy and depression.
Uhhh... *coughcough* no comment... I've got nothing... I'm gonna stop reading now for real.
>The purpose of the discussion is to share your experience and feelings and to support one another emotionally.
OK, I was wrong, the purpose of the game is to be a hugbox. Instead of actually bonding over an adventure full of danger and heroics and comrades, this is literally a real-life identity hugbox trying to masquerade as a game...
You know what, no, I'm just gonna stop. If this kind of stuff helps people, more power to them. I don't think it's going to generate much (positive) discussion here though...

>You woke up this morning and realized you are fae. Maybe this realization has been building for a while. Maybe it came on all at once. Maybe you’ve known for years, but have just now found the courage to do something about it. Regardless, today begins your awakening, the start of your life as your true, complete self.
It's not subtle.

Fuck you game, I wouldn't be caught dead "playing" this shit in public.

So does she want to be a dude...?

I do, and I'd talk about it more on Veeky Forums, but unlike trans, we furries really are oppressed.

So far that describes Changeling: The Dreaming, you twats.
