      The show is very funny, and he’s not evil, he’s just a jerk. He’s transphobic for the sake of being an asshole, but if you came to him with gender dysphoria he’d give you a script for HRT and a pamphlet on bottom surgery. He’s insanely effective at his job, and wholly committed to curing his patients. He just hates talking to patients and prefers them when they’re unconscious.

              Some cisgender people are attracted to trans bodies in a way that would make those trans people uncomfortable. Like going “Wow, a chick with a dick! Can you fuck me in the ass with your monster girlcock?” to a lady who suffers intense genital dysphoria.

              I haven’t played Disco Elysium, but I think what’s happening here is that Harry’s loins are singing to him “you’ve gotta get that lady’s number” while both Harry and the lady in question believe this lady is a cisgender man. This results in an extremely uncomfortable situation for everyone involved where Harry tries to put the moves on someone he does not believe he is attracted to.

        No not really. People for what ever reason seem to not fucking understand basic human interactions, the concept of nuance or anything remotely close to the idea of character growth.

        He’s a jaded asshole to everyone literally fucking everyone. He only is nice to kids by default.

        People for some stupid fucking reason take any negative anything towards anything LGBT people in shows as the character being a transphobe or homophobe.

        Because for some reason you can’t just write about a dude in pain, self medicating being an asshole to idiots. With out it having an agenda. He’s just an asshole to fucking morons who lie to their doctor.

        That’s the entire point. Everyone on the show is stupid enough to lie to their doctor he’s an asshole he then catches them in an aha! Moment and the ep ends.

          Yeah folks seem to forget that he is also based off of Sherlock Holmes on his worst days. Holmes could be an asshole and has a pretty severe drug addiction as I understand it.

            Its much like robinhood as well. A lot of these classic anti heros, arnt good people. They are not ment to be role models.

            Watching an asshole break societal norms, the law or just rebel. For a good cause, is cathartic.

            Assholes doing good is fun and the over sterilization of media is such a fucking tragedy.

              Also see Spartacus or John Brown, both were absolute bastards in their own rights but killing slavers and fucking with the powerful is always in vogue. Though I have nothing but respect for Auld John Brown.
