Poor Swery. The guy only ever wanted to be an ally and write a good story. He didn't understand how serious people can get about following the "right rules" of being an ally. He made a few mistakes but he's doing his best, yet I've seen people act like he's genuinely hateful or saying they "lost their goodwill" concerning him. This man just wants to please everybody.

It's sad to see he's getting death threats and harassed on Twitter from these people even after doing what they wanted. Guess you can't ever please some people.

I only played the first Deadly Premonition and didn't care for it much. Heard the 2nd game has some truly awful frame rate and performance issues due to being on Switch though. They should probably focus on fixing that if they can.

I do love that Swery understand he mess up and fixing the problem (more people should do that), that said people should really give people breaks when they mess up and the person trying to fix the mistake. I understand why people get super upset, but they need to realize everyone isn't perfect and not everyone is like a certain book lady

As a trans woman, I can definitely see this as triggering. It hurts when people call you by your deadname or misgender you. The big question is, does anyone in the game stand up for her and correct those that misgender her? That makes a huge difference and shows true allies.
