A new transgender-made video game is making many waves in the gaming community, probably not for the reasons the developers would like.
The person who created the game is transgender, and the game itself is considered very extremist by many who have had the chance to review it.
Fox News reports that the game is a first-person shooter game in which the player plays as a character who actively goes out to shoot and kill people who oppose the transgender movement, including Catholic priests.
The game is called Terfenstein 3D, based on a Nazi-fighting video game called Wolfenstein 3D. The Wolfenstein game involved the player eliminating Nazis, which people can sympathize with much more than the Terfenstein game.
Developer Sandra Moen, a trans person, intended to base their game on the Wolfenstein game on purpose to draw the connection between the enemies in their game (priests and others) with the Nazis of the past. Moen said the game intends to draw comparisons between priests and others and Nazis.
The game launched on Steam in January. The description reads: LGBTQAI+, transgender, and feminist themes of gender-critical people and what a post-war apocalyptic world would look like if gender fascists won.
The game description includes the following:
In this dystopian world, fascists have killed and imprisoned all transgender and queer people, subjecting them to harsh conversion therapy, imprisonment, and death. You play as an escapee fleeing their detention center while you exact your revenge.
In the game, the main character hunts down what the trans community calls TERFs or trans exclusionary radical feminists and other critics of the transgender movement. The game has Nazi flags everywhere and other symbols of fascism.
There are previews in which the player kills characters that appear to be Catholic priests, other TERFs, and even the guard dogs these individuals have in the game.
The game consists of rudimentary graphics, but there are still graphic images, including blood and walls that have messages about everyone who criticizes the trans ideology will die.
These types of things have caused this game to draw much criticism from different groups of people. They are upset that there are such violent themes and direct targeting of specific groups of people. There has yet to be any word from Steam about if they might pull the game.
