They obviously didn’t consult a single trans person about this.īeing trans is about being who you are in spite of all the people telling you otherwise. They mean whether she is assigned female at birth or male, this shows how unfamiliar with this they are. But the cis/trans (non op) toggle has negative implications, it’s letting people choose someone’s identity for them. I’m jealous honestly, I wish it were that simple. The alternative is adding a toggle for her genitals. The developer’s suggestion was to make it so that Polly could be skipped entirely while still being able to complete the game. They were better off calling her by fetish terms, at least then no one would have gotten their hopes up about proper representation. Apparently in Hunie Pop games you have to sleep with every character. Not in terms of sensitivity but in terms of how to have Polly in the game and appeal to people who don’t have any interest is sleeping with a trans woman. The developer also mentioned how they are looking at ways to approach Polly’s presence in the game. Shame on me for expecting her to be portrayed as anything but fetish fulfillment.Īfter some backlash, HuniePop’s developer posted an apology letter that flat out said that she was designed as a fetish. But over the course of the video they focused heavily on her genitals and how she has a penis. A trans girl named Polly Bendleson and I was excited at first. In a recent video HuniePop 2 announced the addition of a character that had been asked for quite a bit.
