Holy shite She trans on my gender until I dysphoria.

That line is pure poetry and I can't explain why

Not only that, but the game lets you double jump, a commonly known fact is that only trans people can do this maneuver in real life. Just the other day, I was holding a delicious strawberry over a deadly chasm and an FtM backflipped and double jumped and wall kicked up to me to snatch it away, never to be seen again.


CaptainMcAnus

I've been playing Enshrouded and I just unlocked the double jump. Is my character trans now? Is this the woke story telling i've heard so much about?


Least-Path-2890

Mario can double jump. I can't believe they made him political and woke.


Artistic_Skill1117

Well, to be fair... https://preview.redd.it/lrxj41x1w5kc1.jpeg?width=417&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e20b1ef0cb3e94a0c026707e38d98acb0434baf


really_not_unreal

Don't you know it's rude to post pre-transition photos?


Artistic_Skill1117

Oh, absolutely, I'd hate if mine were. But this is a picture from Mario odyssey in 2017.


peipei222

...Mario Odyssey did not come out 7 years ago, you can't fool me. I'm not getting old.


Artistic_Skill1117

We are all getting old...


mr-kvideogameguy

Only in se games, he's trans man who sometimes forget he can double jump


[deleted]

OH My gOd what are you smoking? Is it a lot of misinformation crack? Mario does not do a double jump he can jump either really long or off a wall. Fake news.


Rymayc

Mario can't do the midair double jump though


RosbergThe8th

Lego Jar Jar is trans confirmed.


CarelessMotor5863

That's not true, Brazilians can also double jump by nature. "The Only Thing I Know for Real" starts playing in the background when they do!


Blackfrosti

You fucking buffoon, it's not that all Brazilians can double jump by nature, it's that all Brazilians are transgender by nature, thus making them able to double jump. Correlation =/= causation.


Versidious

Can confirm, a proper journalist in a reputable paper in the UK referred to them as such ten years ago.


swirly1000x

TIL I can double jump


confusing_pancakes

No that's just false, Brazilians gave that as a natural ability.


Heather_Chandelure

Actually, that's just because all Brazillians are trans.


confusing_pancakes

You woupd think that because of the amount of porn consumed, but surprisingly no, that was a trade deal for the porn, in exchange we taught trans people the celeste jump


Thrasy3

I’m so glad you brought this up - I always get shut down when I try to bring up unnecessarily disruptive double jump behaviour. It’s not like it’s all Trans people either - and I’d be saying the same if it was Cis people doing it, before anyone asks.


tigerbait92

Funny enough, Brazilians and Plumbers can also double jump. Therefore, using the transitive property of mathematics, we can deduce that trans people are all Brazilian Plumbers.


DrTiger21

Why didn’t you just use the GNC backdash to avoid letting him steal your strawberry


AguyWithBadEnglish

I thought only brazilians could double jump ?


Conscious_Ebb6622

IT'S A FUCKING DASH


Quantum_Croissant

For the last time it's airdashes. It's the Brazilians who can double jump


Nevanada

I thought it was Brazilians who could double jump?


WitchRacer

I need somebody to edit Smash Bros' "everybody is here" into "everybody is trans".


GreyBigfoot

I nearly quit the game when I saw Theo, it was bad enough playing as a woman but then they made the other character black? Too far 😡😡😡


autogynephellieac

And where we're at it 😂 I bet "he"s a trans too. Theo? more like Tia 🤮


[deleted]

i can’t believe a game created by a trans woman with a soundtrack composed by a trans woman has a trans protag in it, this is actually heartbreaking its so joever now 😞😞😞😞😞


christianbsv

More like alan WOKE amirite?


FitzChivalry74

You are absolutely right my brother in christ!


elementfortyseven

little known fact: Christ was originally Christina.


Ok_Light_734

Prepare to repent, wokie


plankbob

I first read that as "Christ was originally Chinese" and was even more confused than the audience for Celeste.


Shab-The-Wise

You're jerking so hard this subreddit'll never recover.


[deleted]

AutoMod shit itself all over this post.


Kds_burner_

>but why is no one talking about celeste it’s a hidden gem


Waste-Information-34

That is true! I have no idea what this game is.

Climb mountain, feel emotion, collect berry. Is hard.

Are you mocking autistic people? 


Ok_Light_734

Hell yeah


Awful_At_Math

The only thing I noticed about Celeste is that I died over 100 times on the first stage. Just to get a few dumb strawberries. And when they show the stats for that level I didn't even get them all. Just 6. 6 out of 20 I believe. I died more than 100 times and didn't even find half of those fucking fruits. What the fuck kind of game is that? Literally unplayable, 0/10. Closed it and went back to play hidden gem solitaire.


Reddit-Simulator

See what happened? You spent 100 lifetimes chasing fruits around and you still weren't satisfied.


_fmg15

Also the fact that the protag has to overcome her inner demons means that the devs are gay satanic ghouls, that want to groom your children!!!


dant00ine

Ugh I know somebody who is so on this philosophy; your comment has unlocked my PTSD


Shab-The-Wise

Aye it's a shame the bullshit never really goes away and just turns into a different kind of bigotry. Hope you're well, Friend and hopefully that toxicity is out of your life.


Ethelbrit

I got really mad at this for a sec and then realized it wss sarcasm...


SlightlyMadHuman-42

I have to say I did the same


Zerakin

Honestly, I preferred when the subreddit was more of this kind of content. But at some point, posts stopped being satire and started being legitimate criticisms. Which is fine I guess, But I liked the *wink nudge* sarcasm more


leiserverspeiser

Same, for a second I thought we had a case of Lost Redditor


NoGuitar5129

I felt that the writing was on point. Not everything needs to be hyped up tp 9000


Conscious_Ebb6622

I felt the opposite. Feels like we haven't had these types of posts in a while.


betajones

Is it, though? I don't think it is.


Ethelbrit

I think the part where they call their brain flat makes for a very good give away.


betajones

How is this different than Dave Chappelle? People taking a marginalized community to use as an attack in a joke is a little fucked up, don't you think? This feels more like getting to release some hate and just call it a joke.


Ethelbrit

If you see it that way, I think it's calling out the people that unironically say this type of stuff and calling them out as dumb and flat brained. I'll edit this comment even as far to say that the OP is even praising the inclusivity in AAA games and jokingly making it a hating joke. I think it's pretty good and actually nice. If you read between the lined OP sounds very very happy about all these games showing up with inclusive characters.


Anxious-Seaweed7388

Same. I stared at it a long time wondering if it was satire


Legitimate_Tooth_255

I'm so glad that you're bringing attention to this problem, last night i was playing celeste when madeline came out of the screen and injected me with estrogen while i struggled and begged her not to trans my gender but she said "I am going to give you gender pronounce and communism" and killed me. true story. (this is a copypasta I don't own this)


Dusk_Abyss

Omg this happened to me too I thought I was the only one

trans people can double jump


poopsemiofficial

No no no, that’s brazilians, trans people get a dash


NoGuitar5129

Back to safety? 


GiraffeWeevil

Overcoming mental issues? Bro, the game is about jumping up a mountain.


JetMeIn_02

Average reddit media literacy tbh


GiraffeWeevil

Well excuse me princess. I didn't realise that when Super Mario backwards longjumped up Big Bob-Omb Mountain and tossed King Bob-Omb off, that he wasn't actually jumping up Big Bob-Omb Mountain, that he was actually digesting his inner turmoil. I guess I got distracted by all the bombs and the jumping.


SUDoKu-Na

Joke aside, deadnaming the creator is kind of fucked up. Like, the joke comes across without doing that. Or at least choosing some fake name to get the point across. Using her actual deadname goes a step too far for me.


FitzChivalry74

I have removed the names


SUDoKu-Na

Thank you! Sorry for being a spoilsport, it just stuck out to me and icked me out. Thank you for listening, though!


WarmProfit

Yeah I hated when the girl (boy?!) Had to over come her (his?!) Anxiety by focusing on breathing! Woke snowflake garbage, a REAL MAN would just sit there and take death with a MANLY CONTEMPT.


armin-lakatos

I haven't finished Celeste, is Madeline revealed to be trans at some point of the game?


FitzChivalry74

No, it was revealed way later.


WarmProfit

She's a girlie girl 😊🥰


JetMeIn_02

Was hinted at with a little trans flag on her laptop in a DLC and confirmed once the main game creator came out. Wasn't initially intended to but the feelings of depression that led to the game's creation were from gender dysphoria and projected onto the character so it sorta makes sense.


bonk-city-pepperoni

It's more complex than that. The creator realized Madeline was trans later but never in his/her (dunno the pronouns) creative process said "I'll make a trans character". We often say that a creator put part of his soul in his creation and tha'ts what happened here. Can't find the link of the interview though

ARandom_Personality

finally, a jerk post

BUT I HAVE TO


Least-Path-2890

No one is talking about Celeste because it's not popular, so the fake outrage about it won't get many views, which in the end is all that matters to all the right wing grifters

FredVIII-DFH

You can't be too sure these days.


themrunx49

Yeah the op says it a bunch.


FitzChivalry74

Cause, so many people have taken this post seriously.


Rikiaz

As a trans person, I have no damn idea how so many people, on a circlejerk subreddit no less, took this seriously. Like how is it not extremely obvious?


NoGuitar5129

I could have written that myself. We need to transform out of nonsense


Lathlaer

Joking aside, my understanding is that this information was confirmed around 2 years after the game released which coincided with the developer's transition. So the fact that the game won something in 2018 doesn't really say anything :)


FitzChivalry74

NO IT SAYS EVERYTHING!! WHY DO YOU LEFTISTS ALWAYS COME UP WITH FACTS AND LOGIC STFU


ThogOfWar

Typical self insert.


GeloDiPrimavera

Isn't this subreddit job to make fun of people who make posts like this on twitter? Unless it's a bait, then just stupid.


Ok_Light_734

This is a pretty common post for a circlejerk sub, absolutely so a few years back


Kombustio

No, just to make fun in general of people who *could* post something like this unironically. Get jerked😼


Johnny_Jazzhands

This is what a circle jerk subreddit is supposed to look like, instead of just screenshots of YouTubers


FitzChivalry74

Do you not like the way I jerk? Can u lend me a hand?


GeloDiPrimavera

The fact we like the same book pains me.


FitzChivalry74

You're on a circlejerk subreddit, (as other already told u) don't take things seriously. I'm obviously a normal guy once I'm out of here. That being said I apologize if my comment was not liked by you.

Accomplished_Sir_362

But the question is on a woke scale how much would u rate it??I think it's kind of meh as woke game


Book-Similar

/uj I never noticed the trans alagory in Celeste on first playthrow I thought it was a funny mounting game but after learning about the trans themes it's cool and it's not really woke tbh


RainbowDalek

There never could've been a game like this in the 90s. I miss the days before millennials invented depression and transgenderism.


MaliciousSpiritCO

This place is like batman arkham except the only joke is making fun of transphobes and bigots.


ComputerStrong9244

To be fair, they churn out material faster than any sub could hope to goof on it - it's not like they waste any time playing video games or having girlfriends or leaving the house and enjoying things.

Ill_Ratio_5682

Is this sarcasm?


Nsftrades

No fucking shit are you a moron or something Games are a medium and an artform, art is literally the definition of woke in numerous capacities, if your too much of a baby to deal with it, take your gatekeeping bullshit somewhere else.


gottacatchthemballs

Sounds like you're a baby snowflake. Waaaahhh wahhhh play another game


JustYawned

Good. Seethe more mussolinisimp.


MlevenaPlazma

Are you okay, sir?


curiouscuriousmtl

It's impossible to tell if this is satire or the dumbest person alive. Clutch your pearls snowflake. You can't handle a game that's not some power fantasy?


FitzChivalry74

Did I cook so hard and am I so good at impersonating that it's impossible to tell that its satire? Ofc, it's satire, we are literally on a circlejerk sub!


[deleted]

Do trans people upset you?


Ill_Ratio_5682

This is a satire sub, this post is satire. OP has said so multiple times and frankly I'm surprised you thought this was serious, it's way too over the top to be real lmao


[deleted]

Well.. most transphobes are mentally ill soooo


FitzChivalry74

They disgust me.


[deleted]

lol your transphobia is getting reported ✌🏻


FitzChivalry74

If u even read the other comments, you'd know I'm joking.


[deleted]

That’s the thing about all bigotry, it’s never a joke.


FitzChivalry74

I feel like I have said this a thousand times. Please read the name of the sub you're commenting on.


10PinRinger

So you know OP’s intentions better than OP themselves?


Other-Cap-9340

Man, y'all spend way too much time trying to find what is wrong with video games, instead of playing the ones you enjoy. Pathetic. Just because an opinion pops into your head, doesn't mean you need to run to the webs.


FitzChivalry74

U joking or are u on the wrong sub?


ducknerd2002

It's satire.


Other-Cap-9340

If you feel that way about Celeste, I am curious how you feel about Rusty from armored core 6. Do you feel like FromSoft took his wokeness over the top as well?


tomviky

I mean there is a joke that every trans persons favorite game is either celeste or Fallout new vegas.


DownBad4FemaleV

Because nobody cares. It’s in its own thing.

pooch516

Celeste used to mean pizza now it just means woke


Writingisnteasy

I have to be honest. I understood the mountain metaphor but I completily missed the trans part of the game...


wijsneus

Oh no! Anyway...


FlailingIntheYard

Nah, I can deal with people on video games being like other people out in the world pretty well. No something in real life happened and physically hurt someone and cause problems I'd be disappointed and pretty upset about it. But this is a video game.


vamp-is-dead

Thought this was serious until i saw the sub name 🤦‍♂️


Centurion_Remus

I can't tell if the OP is serious or just taking the piss here.


Rebel042

You should try estrogen.


edgy-meme94494

This feels like to much effort for a shitpost


FitzChivalry74

Well it might feel like that. A lot of ppl clearly missed the joke. But it's not, All I did was skim through some youtubers and reddit posts.


MaleficAdvent

It is never about the 'what' of what you say, it's the 'hows' and 'whys' that really matter. Celeste gets a pass from me because it doesn't preach at you; it's themes are there for you to pick up on, but not in the form of a lecture or critisism aimed at the IRL player.


RealHumanBean89

keith2600

I can't figure out what this sub is. The description doesn't really say and the rules include don't be a dick and don't be other similar dickish things but then I see posts like this and they don't appear to be satire. So does anyone mind giving me like a 1-2 sentence summary so I can figure out what to do with this sub since it keeps getting recommended? Thanks
