I had to re-watch the video to find the one-off transexual joke people are melting down over. It happened so fast and was such a short visual gag that I'm still not sure if he's referring to transexuals or just that specific imaginary politician or homosexuals in general.
I find it more disturbing that I was hoping for meaningful discussion on what may be the best political critique video game made in the past ten years but instead find people still arguing about an ambiguous joke clocked in at 300 milliseconds long that isn't actually clear if it's 'hateful' or not. I feel our priorities may be skewed in a "Ship of Fools" sort of way.
I'm not going to say that the issue shouldn't be important to you, but I will say that I think the discussion is detracting from something that is vitally important in the message itself. It would be like not reading 1984 because one of the pages had smeared ink.
