Equal human rights for all is not a matter of opinion. It is not something you can choose to agree or disagree with. Using "disagreement" as a way of denying people equal rights and "free speech" as a way of spewing hatred is not acceptable. To quote James Baldwin "We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist"

The guy made some mistakes in the script concerning names and pronouns referring to trans characters. He owned up to it, said it was unintentional and he meant no offence, apologised and said he would correct his mistakes as soon as possible. It is all very good, and commendable. This should have been all there was to the story. Thank you Swery, good on you!

Those crying against "censorship"... Get over yourselves. It's an honest mistake being corrected. Nothing is being censored.

Those mouthing off and waxing lyrical about what they think trans people should and should not call themselves, identify as, or choose to be referred as ... (to put it mildly, and give you the benefit of the doubt) go do some reading. Gender and identity is much more complex than you think and being deliberately insensitive and offensive is not cool and rebellious. Pick on people other than those who are in the most persecuted minorities and have enough ***** to deal with already.
