Can confirm that almost EVERYTHING has been deleted. It started off as people getting their threads buried, then locked, then banned, then permabanned, and now thousands of comments have been memory-holed overnight. I've been at work for 4 hours and it's all just gone, and I'm permabanned because autocorrect called the troon "him." I didn't get to screencap any of it, I didn't get to talk shit, I didn't even get the chance to be genuinely transphobic- I feel like I've been robbed twice now.
As for KIRA, well, this has got to be the most sudden and absolute career suicide I have ever seen from an indie dev. Celeste at least died with a fizzle, this didn't even get the chance to explode. You had trans and NB people saying "please don't weaponize our pronouns," or "I don't like why you did this" and even all their posts are gone. This is as scorched earth as you can get without removing the entire game from Steam. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. Lost in Vivo and Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion were cool. Lunacid was cool too, but now it's gone from schizopost King's Field to unmasked disdain for paying customers. Also the endings sucked. I waited years for this shit, and I can't even refund it now. I can't even optimistically wait for the incoming spergout on Twitter because KIRA and his hugbox have the entire revolt on lockdown. I have to wonder how much further the shockwave of the HeelVSBabyFace rant are going to reach now, though. This is potentially the start of a massive, collective tranny dev spergout. There's that to maybe look forward to.
I did snag a screentrim of STUNNING&BRAVE.txt which teaches you where to make the pronouns NIG/GER or to delete the file entirely. Just want to smudge the metadata before I post it.
Edit: In case you want to.
