Oh, I've experienced hate quite a bit so I think I can spot it rather easy now, after reading the first eight pages of that thread I think I could see what was going on. Hate gets veiled in differing of opinions all the time but since I'm ignorant and foolish maybe I don't know what it looks like. Wait I lost my parents and some friends to hate when I transitioned, maybe I know what it looks like after all.
Please save me the pity story. If we are going to compare such things you will lose. Normally I'm always civiil and try my best to be polite to the feelings of others but it's tiring at this point, if you are going to sit there and talk about me masking my hate.
I have no problem with transgender characters in games, gender identity doesn't matter to me. People are people. I have a friend who is transgender, I guess I deep down just hate him too right?( sorry pat I guess I hate you) Everyone experiences hate, everyday of their life's, let's not pretend any if us are above dishing it out or being on the other end of it.
That thread was started for the reason, that Krem is a poor character. I get people have masked their hate many times times in these forums, through their opinions. But please stop assuming you know hate well enough to know if it's being masked, because this time you are wrong. Going around excusing people is wrong, doing it as blindly as you are, is just pure ignorance.
For the record, IMO, Krem is boring, dull, with clunky dialogue that gives the impression it was forced into the conversation rather than occurring naturally. That's all that thread was. So please stop assuming things.
