Before I begin, this is not a joke. I am part of the Furry Fandom and self identify as a bear. I am a boy bear. I recently began playing destiny 2 about a week ago (I've never played D1). I enjoy it. The game play is smooth and responsive, and the story is interesting. I think I might even become a major fan of the game. However, I feel that your game uses many themes and tropes that portray animals in a negative way. I dont blame you specifically for this, its a problem prevalent throughout the entertainment industry, and I believe the issue stems from the profit potential of the male fantasy. But thats another topic. The only reason I bring all this up, is because you seem like a progressive developer that is tuned into the needs of marginalized groups, which as a furry I am a part of. So let me explain the aspects of the game that offend me. Specifically, it is your use of "beast" as a characteristic of the Fallen and Cabal. Bestial themes have long been used as devices to evoke fear and loathing in an audience. It can have powerful effect. But as humanity has progressed to the current age, we have gradually become more aware of minority perspectives and identities that do not conform to patriarchal, male-centric social norms. As a furry and self identified bear, I find it disturbing that a game I enjoy forces me to engage as enemies, other creatures with which I share animalistic traits. For example, the Cabal. They are big, burly, and gruff. And while their physiology seems almost reptilian (specifically turtle like), their exceptional strength, size, and voice is very much like a bear. Why are these traits that need to be feared? I am big. I have a deep voice. But my heart is as big as my body and as deep as my voice. Also, consider the Fallen. They are furtive, sneaking, and fierce. Almost catlike. One could even venture so far as to call the dregs "cute" when they aren't shooting at you. I have many friends that are cats. My two best friends in high school were species fluid like myself, and considered themselves cats. When I pursue the Fallen, I can't help but feel a sense of anxiety as I slaughter creatures that have the characteristics of real life people I actually love. This makes the game difficult, but not unplayable. I know it is fictional. I hope you don't consider my critique as a complaint. I just wanted to add my own unique perspective as a furry and member of the bearkind. I cant wait to keep playing, and discover the secrets that Destiny 2 holds. Thanks!
