Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

The story is that she was AMAB, but raised as a girl because of the village's superstitions about male twins. In the earlier games she identified as a boy (but wore feminine clothes anyway) and lives that way for awhile. But then, in the recent game... I'm just going to quote the wiki on this bit
So when she first leaves the village she tries living as a boy for awhile, but eventually decides its not how she wants to live and realizes that she is in fact a girl. Some chuds say that its a shitty storyline because it means "the grooming was successful" but I think that takes away all her agency in the situation. She's deciding for herself that she is, after all that, a girl. It is kinda funny though because it could be semi-joked that she's amab but also a cis girl because of her origin story. I'd stay she still functions as a trans girl within the greater world though, that would really only apply in her home village.
just have a normal trans character ffs anime games can't do anything simple.
is this a reaction to the reaction thing where we're ignoring the conversion therapy angle and deliberately ignoring the absolute disaster of the time somebody actually tried raising an amab kid as a girl because it's more funny to make the hogs mad?
It's awkward writing trying to do some sort of justice to a character they introduced 20 years ago with little forethought. To quote wikipedia:
noooo what do you mean japanese people can also be woke, stooopppp, you're literally ruining my reactionary fascist ethnostate fantasies, it's clearly westerners who pushed and forced this shit and threatened to cancel them if they didn't put a trans character in the game 😭😭😭😭
