A popular video game now allows users to create characters that have skin scars from sex-change surgeries as concerns grow about the harm done to youth who undergo extreme body mutilating surgeries like double mastectomies and castration.
“The Sims 4,” a life simulation game that enables users to “create a unique world” to express themselves and “customize every detail,” announced new features on its Twitter account Tuesday. These features include the ability to add “medical wearables” such as “binders” that flatten girls’ breasts and so-called shapewear that creates a bulge in underwear so female characters that identify as men can appear to be sporting male genitalia.
A base game update is here with new content including medical wearables, binders, shapewear, a light switch & more including bug fixes & console gameplay improvements 🥳💚
