I was recently browsing an article about a game that I'd recently purchased and started playing - Akibas Trip, and I also recently learned that there was an 'uproar' about some of the localisation text in the game. In case you didnt know, Akiba's Trip is a game where you fight vampires by stripping off their clothes (both male and female, k?) in the middle of a recreated Akibahara, Japan. Ill skip talking about the game and get straight to the point. Theres a feature in the game that mimic's twitter, 2chan etc, called 'Pitter'. Basically just a board for posting stuff, kinda like reddit actually. Anyway, an NPC in-game replied to another NPC saying "Nobody asked you, goddamned Trap!"
This has been regarded as a 'transgender slur' and XSEED has been slammed by 'fans' on twitter about this.

Are people being a little too sensitive, or are people being really insensitive? Personally, I think people should get a fkn grip (I know, im a heterosexual white male, right?) But what I really dont understand is how it is the very same people who are not 'traps' who are taking offense? Ill repeat the title of this thread "you dont have the right not to be offended".
What is your take on it?
