cutting commentary?
dead space remake adds nonbinary character and all-gender restrooms but keeps promotional article about the ishimura containing the phrase "the men and women who serve aboard her" unaltered from the original
#dead space#(i don't think it's commentary) i think it's either they didn't think about it OR#they didn't want to be /too/ overtly 'divisive' right at the beginning of the game bc that's the second text log you find#& the stuff about jacob being bi or rousseau being NB are buried much farther in the game and the jacob one especially is extremely missabl#they 100% knew the all gender restrooms would get people up in arms im sure that it was a calculated decision not just to do it but also#where /not/ to push the envelope#that or they didn't register the contradiction#it definitely um mirrors the experience of being a trans person workin for a big company lmao#reminds me of how my work's employee handbook had a whole section about how they handle transition in the workplace (!!)#and the title of that section was 'office transgender'#i.e. 'look how inclusive we are! no we haven't actually talked to any trans people why do you ask?'#(it doesn't say that anymore bc me and another nb coworker went through and compiled a ton of suggestions that eventually got integrated in#the new handbook bc the whole section was kind of a mess)
