What "disaster"? A bunch of Gamergate pricks getting their panties in a bunch because a game dared to include someone who was trans in the game? That's a "disaster" now? Good to know.
Seriously, the Gamergate misogynists can all go die in a fucking fire, as far as I'm concerned. I don't consider them actual gamers, they're women hating bullies, who are far far worse than the "social justice warriors" they rant about. Gosh, one one side of the argument are girls who like playing games. On the other are misogynistic assholes who want games to be a strictly male-oriented thing, and be damned anyone else having fun.
Seriously, fuck those guys. They make me sick.

Gotcha...nothing of substance on the subject but pointless hyperbole.
You seem to be holding her responsible or the entire game. That's why you're on the wrong side.

The game already had transgender characters and pop culture references.
Amber Scott is a turd and brought this on herself. Beamdog and her are deflecting the massive amount of real criticism about broken multiplayer, bugs, broken mods, and unintelligent writing onto this transgender character that, afaik, you don't even have to talk to.
Yeah the GG tards did mob their reviews, and the subreddit is a downvote vortex from SJW/GG warfare, but there are lots of real reasons this game is getting tons of negative reviews. Beamdog didn't need to talk about their personal agendas in public. If Amber Scott didn't put the GG diss joke in for Minsc or give the interview talking about SJW and how awesome she is, none of this would be happening
And yet, it would still have shit reviews ahahah

What does Amber Scott have to do with broken coding? She's a writer, not a programmer. Why are you blaming her even a tiny little bit for the game having broken multiplayer, bugs, and broken mods? You're just perpetuating the GG narrative of "Lets blame everything on any convenient female target we don't like for whatever reason".
If you want to say her writing is bad, that might be a legitimate discussion, but you better be able to cite chapter and verse on WHY it's bad, rather than just say "unintelligent writing" with no evidence to argument to back it up. That's just insulting someone, that's not actually trying to show how the writing is bad or unintelligent. Again, you're marching in lockstep with the GG asshats.
If you want to complain about the Beamdog coders being idiots, and having the game in an incredibly buggy state, that would be one thing. If you want to blame Beamdog management for allowign the game to be released when they must have known it was still buggy as fuck. But calling out Amber Scott specifically as being emblematic and/or the primary source of what's wrong with the game, you're just being as big a misogynist asshole as the GG fucks.

Might want to back that quote up a tad. Drem has made a few personal insults to this woman already simply because he doesn't like the writing in this game. A standard for which could never really be met. I've red very little actual criticism about the writing in the game beyond the political stuff. I've played the original games, and enjoyed them a lot, but lets be honest, the writing is not revolutionary. It's pretty awful at times. It's cool to be nostalgic about this, but when Drem makes personal attacks upon a woman because her artistic license doesn't live up a standard which could never be met I'm going to call him out on it, especially if those attacks line up with a hate group with a despicable track record.
Do I think Drem is a misogynist? Hell no. Which is why I warned him he doesn't want to be on their side on this.
