      She’s a massive transphobe. Despite (to my understanding) being trans herself (probably not true, edited to remove)

        Okay hold up, I’m going to need a reference on her being trans herself. Because no, as far as I am aware, she is in fact just a transphobe.

          Honestly I don’t keep up with her drama all that much but when I was more in the loop I definitely recall people referencing the ‘fact’ she is trans.

          Literally no source now though because its been years, so feel free to disregard it as baseless.

          Edit: Honestly, thinking about it now, that might have been some misogynists who just couldn’t accept that a cisgender woman could be talented enough at computer related stuff to crack denuvo. So I’m gonna erase “empress is trans” from my brain.

            Are you thinking of fitgirl? She’s notoriously been a target for hate from Empress, who I think may have accused her of being trans at one point? Though like, as a trans girl myself, I can see her being trans just from this webpage: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/games-with-my-personal-pink-paw-award/

            Edit: both because of the page itself, but also there’s a bunch of stuff with queer themes in that list. A couple of non-binary protags and a few sapphic romances.

              No it was definitely empress being discussed at the time, but I could definitely see fitgirl being trans, as a fellow trans girl!

            I’ve seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence
