It's like he just pasted a synopsis of the game's plot from Wikipedia or something, too. Which makes me totally want to paste the plot synopsis from a game in one of my RSPs just for the lulz.
Hi thar! I'm actually playing my Draenei Shaman a lot atm. :o
I'm finding it really hard to articulate *why* it's so offensive. I think it was the itty-bitty plate bikini, then the binding and the bruises and scars. It screams "look at me, I'm a victim!".
Couple it with the bisexuality, then you have more of a victim. Or the whole part that seems to indicate that *of course* being trans/genderqueer means you're bisexual.
The binding thing does not make her act like a real boy, either. Especially after saying she is a sweet, scared girl. It's just written in a way that comes off really badly, to me.
I do agree that it adds to the "I'm clearly played by a creepy grown man!" vibe that I tend to find pretty offensive just in general. Female characters who were clearly created so their male players could draw bondage art of them on Darknest raise my hackles.

There is more, but I tend to rant too much.
