So it was an unintentional trans allegory?
very similar to the game Celeste which was made by a questioning/closeted trans person, so the whole game pretty much follows the trans experience. The creator actually confirmed canonically that the character (Madeline) is trans too.
“During Celeste’s development, I did not know that Madeline or myself were trans. During the Farewell DLC’s development, I began to form a hunch. Post-development, I now know that we both are.”
AAGH MY HEART 😭😭
edit: bonus round! the music composer is also trans, she also makes some of the music for Minecraft, including pigstep.
I didn’t know Lena Raine was trans.
I also didn’t know she did the music for Celeste
Closeted people often express their desires subconsciously. Well, frankly, most people do.
My understanding is that’s usually how it works. It’s just that most people usually settle for like, transformation art or VRChat and don’t need to make an entire blockbuster movie trilogy to come to terms with being trans lmao
