listen, wilderness.

first off, this is a video game. i don't know when a video game about animals that wear human clothes and speak has ever been accurate to real life, but i don't think it's supposed to be. you can claim there are some aspects that are real, which is entirely obvious, but those aren't related to gender at all.

second off, there are real nonbinary and transgender people out there, and they don't have much media representation. which is what they need; having your identity put out in a good light can make people more accepting, or, at least, knowledgable of you. a lot of trans people in common media are shown to be disgusting or freakish, showing trans women with deep male voices or trans men to be overly feminine and "gay" personality-wise. when you have a character like juno, who is nonbinary/transgender, and shown in a heroic and brave sense, it's more good representation for people that are nonbinary/transgender. people who are nonbinary and trans want representation like juno because it isn't making fun of them. and they certainly need it, to.

so don't try to claim "science" or "facts" to back up your argument. not only does animal jam just, not confirm to facts, but national geographic (which isn't even WORKING on animal jam anymore after the partnership split, mind you) has covered transgender and nonbinary people in their magazines many times! (ex. national geographic special issue, gender revolution.)

then again, we are talking about someone who writes (: instead of :), so maybe this isn't worth my time.
