It is absolutely fucked and doomed to fail, because you cannot implement that sort of policy without oppressing vulnerable and marginalized minority groups. You cant have your cake and eat it, too.

Yes. You can. Because minority groups aren't the only political group. The problem is that people know it won't be fair.

They were "awful" because the joke can be summed up as "dude looks like a lady." The issue I have with this while situation is that first people accused the US version of "censorship" and complained how the game was inaccurate, and then when it was revealed why the potentially offensive thing was changed, suddenly people jumped on another camp to try to complain. Localization changes things all the time when it doesn't make sense to other cultures.

Youre making a distinction without a difference in a highly transphobic context, or as you said earlier cultural differences.

Um. What? Seriously, why are people pushing so hard for it to be a transphobic handling rather than a joke that is a swing and a miss? The joke made sense to me. It's not funny, but it's not hard to grasp. Again, I even explained that it's a joke that IS has done multiple times from different games.
