Violence against trans-women in this game is very problematic.

Being able to commit violence against a trans-woman in this game was not a good choice for your game. You actually get rewarded for killing them with experience points and not even a negative impact to your reputation in the game. I also felt the way pronouns were handled was somewhat offensive.

In Sarkeesian's guide for game development it clearly states that giving players an incentive to kill sex workers, trans-women, or any other marginalized group is extremely misogynistic. Please consider fixing these issues in the next update. I got severe depression when I came across this in the game because there was no trigger warning given beforehand.

    Remember, you have to knock a troll down and then dump acid on it to truly defeat the beast
