I just did my part signing the petition and emailing the developer.

Non-binary people you deserve to be seen and represented. You’re valid!

I so fucking hate transphobes. I hope Ape will add pronouns since it's minor change with powerful impact. Stardew Valley is so queer-friendly game and i hope it stays so

I don't know if it's that much of a minor change. The code around gender seems to be rather interesting - the dwarf is explicitly of "undefined" gender, and iirc that defaults to female in a couple of weird places. And how do you handle explicitly gendered cutscenes? Leah and Alex have heart events that are contingent on the farmer's gender (and - spoilers - George gets over his homophobia if you marry Alex as a male farmer - how would George respond to a non binary farmer on spring 1 year 1?)

I think it would be awesome if CA did add a non-binary option, but I think someone who actually is non-binary is going to be able to do way better with with writing authentic interactions. CA is awesome, and I assume he's a trans ally, but I think this would take an absurd amount of research for him to do well.

That said, I'll be disappointed if Haunted Chocolatier doesn't have a non-binary option.

Oh, i didn't know that! I think it would be cool to do some kind of contest for interactions where everyone can submit one. I am sure community can come up with some sweet lines for these scenes for non-binary peeps

Fucking r/StardewValley mods removed my post about this.

I’m sorry that happened to you.

On the reddit side. They’re so rude about it. I’m glad I don’t use that website as much anymore.
