My former life...

I truly love colors, as an artist, mixing them is also fun. It's just, I can't stand that it represents sexuality and pride people will happily point it out, as if it's an obsession

Turned out Rin is just a cis male femboy, a typical androgynous character who merely passes as female despite identifying as and having the biology of a male, and the love interest route with him is about the main character awakening to their own sexuality and learning that love can transcend heteronormative expectations. A very progressive and woke narrative.

BUT because they got it in their heads that pink+blue=trans and this character turned out to be a cis male without any identity or body issues, that crowd went fucking ballistic and ripped the game a new one. The world was fucking ending as far as these people were concerned. There is truly no hyperbole too extreme for how bad their reaction was.

This also despite the fact that the game ALREADY HAD a trans character IN THE ORIGINAL RELEASE in the first place.

Didn't matter. They think they own the light blue+pink color scheme now, and they felt slighted that it was used for something that they did not approve of.

“UpNorthLive reached out to Boyles to see if she was interested in explaining her side.

This is the statement she sent in response:

‘I would like to address some recent comments regarding my actions. Throughout my career, I have always aimed to maintain a positive and respectful environment. I acknowledge that my decision regarding the splash of color may have crossed certain boundaries, and for that, I sincerely apologize.

When the family left my establishment, they appeared to be happy, and I received no indication of any dissatisfaction at that time. I even provided them with a card and additional treats as a gesture of goodwill. In an effort to resolve any concerns, I issued a refund prior to the online comments made about me.

I understand that my initial apology may not have been perfect, but my intention was to minimize conflict and ensure a positive outcome. It's disheartening to see how some individuals choose to diminish others rather than support them.’”

How can anyone be this stubbornly unable to admit fault? How can you possibly, with hindsight and SO much backlash, not understand how egregious this is??? Completely bananas!

Perhaps the wildest thing though is that the instance that went viral isn’t even the most bonkers one? Like look at this one!
