Doug TenNapel, creator of the popular Sega Genesis game Earthworm Jim, has attacked transgender games journalist Heather Alexandra and has begun to post numerous transphobic tweets to his Twitter account.
Alexandra posted an article to the video games website Kotaku where she criticised some of the level designs in the original game.
TenNapel quickly took to social media to complain about the article, intentionally misgendering Heather in a transphobic attack by saying; 'Heather, you're a good man and entitled to your own opinion. If you ever want to get into why we created it the way we did in the 90's let's chat.'
Since then TenNapel has tweeted further transphobic comments by stating that people cannot change their gender, and complaining that people are trying to force trans acceptance on him; all whilst continuing to misgender Heather Alexandra.
Heather Alexandra's original article can be found at Kotaku.com.

I will not buy this or any other game he is associated with. What I do with my body is quite frankly NONE OF his business! I am tired of people getting a small fortune than trying to tell me how to live my life and what I can and can not do with my own body.And to deliberately misgender someone takes a special kind of hate.
ReplyDeleteNo one cares, you weren't buying his stuff anyway. He is not telling you what to do with your body, he's just saying he doesn't have to play along with your delusions.
DeleteWhat you dismiss as a delusion has been medically and scientifically recognized since before you ever heard of it. It's your own fault if you live under some redneck rock somewhere.
DeleteMedically and scientifically recognized by whom?
DeleteMedically and scientifically recognized as a mental illness called gender dysphoria.
DeleteHis name was Magnus Hirschfeld, the father of Transgenderism. He was a jew, and his first patient died from his crazy experiments. Trans and feggits are a result of jewry, you're nothing but a sheep that can't think for itself.
DeleteWhat I do with my body is quite frankly NONE OF his business,but when i want to people call me wharever i want they must do it, now that is my business right?
DeleteIt's important to clarify that gender dysphoria is no longer classified as a mental illness in the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The APA (American Psychiatric Association) removed "gender identity disorder" from the DSM in 2013, replacing it with "gender dysphoria."
DeleteThis change reflects a significant shift in understanding how transgender individuals are viewed and treated. Here's why the change happened:
Shifting understanding of gender: The previous classification of "gender identity disorder" was based on an outdated view of gender as a binary construct. This view saw being transgender as a deviation from a "normal" or "healthy" state.
Focusing on distress, not identity: The term "gender dysphoria" recognizes that the distress experienced by some transgender individuals is related to a mismatch between their gender identity and the sex assigned at birth. It's about the discomfort and distress, not the identity itself.
Recognizing transgender identities as valid: The shift away from "disorder" emphasizes that being transgender is not a mental illness. It's a natural variation in human gender identity and expression.
While gender dysphoria is no longer classified as a mental illness, it is still recognized as a valid medical condition that can significantly impact an individual's well-being. This recognition is essential for ensuring that transgender individuals receive appropriate medical care and support to address the distress they may experience.
The classification change reflects a growing understanding and acceptance of transgender identities, promoting a more compassionate and informed approach to supporting transgender people.
Hahaha, I love it, if anyone ever played the games or watched the cartoon this shouldn't surprise you, it was a brutal world Jim lived in.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I love it, if anyone ever played the games or watched the cartoon this shouldn't surprise you, it was a brutal world Jim lived in.
ReplyDeleteFor everyone who boycotts his games, I'm buying two copies. Bring it on.
ReplyDeleteWhat games? He's made exactly one in the last fifteen years and it wasn't great.
DeleteWorthless, victim complex vulture shills. Cry, you cisphobic, misandrist, fascists. Cry your crocodile tears.
ReplyDeleteYou don't think it's sadder that TenNapel was crying fucking baby tears, real ones, over a mixed - not even outright negative - review on a game he made over two decades ago?
Delete"Shills" of what? Misandrist where? What the fuck is cisphobia and when does it happen? You're obviously from /pol/ or worse.
"I am tired of people getting a small fortune than trying to tell me how to live my life" but you're happy to tell everyone else to change their language structure... Hypocrite
ReplyDeletetransphobic attack = same old stupid, thoroughly disproven arguments. douche bags like this don't deserve any more exposure than their names on a boycott list somewhere. turn your back to the haters and face their audiences. these are your neighbors.
ReplyDelete"Transphobic attack" Jesus Christ He called the man buy his name but referred to Heather as a man because he is. He doesn't have to be polite and start referring to someone because they asked them to it's literally a free country you can do whatever you want and trying to social shame someone who simply didn't want to call a man a women is crazy a best. This is how ridiculous and hateful the LGBT community is getting trying to crucify anyone who has a different opinion or doesn't want to comply with the social mandates of changing our noun usage and everything else. Lgbt Community has done more harm than good in the past several years for public relations hate crimes are at a all time high against you becuase of what you're doing. This were never issues before. You use to use the bathroom and no one cared. I don't even know how to refer to somebody who's dresses tomboyish anymore without offending them so I don't even refer to them as he or she anymore I just say "hey" " nice to meet you " without without using any adjectives or nouns. This article is trash and the headline is clickbait bullshit trying to make a man look bad. In Layton terms the headline should just say "someone who used to be somebody was being an asshole on Twitter".
ReplyDeleteI have family in a third world country where they only have electricity for 2 hours out of the day and they live under occupation and a blockade. Find some real issues to report on.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear about the difficulties that your family have to face, unfortunately, as one person I cannot report on every event in the world. However, please feel free to write something about this yourself, it sounds very important to you. I will be more than happy to help promote any work you do on the topic.
DeleteI think he just meant write something that's actually news worthy, rather than a load of sjw sympathy gaining bullshit
DeletePerhaps it would be better to let him respond and clarify himself rather than voicing an assumption. Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups after all.
Delete“I support anyone’s right to be who they are inside, but to what degree do I have to participate in your self-image? Why do I have to switch up my pronoun game for this motherfucker?”
ReplyDeleteDave Chappelle
Loved earthworm jim. Glad to see a game creator that embraces reality and doesn't kowtow to the mentally ill
ReplyDeleteWTF is up with these awful comments? :(
ReplyDeleteYou mean "wtf is up with these sensible non-sjw influenced comments"
DeleteUnfortunately, if people feel that someone/something they like is under attack they go on the defensive. Just like TenNaples, some people can only respond to a difference of opinion by lashing out and attacking rather than forming reasonable arguments.
DeleteThough I do find it amusing that many of the people who have comment here in a negative way have done so as 'Anonymously'. They're brave to voice hate when they can hide their identities.
Hmm "difference of opinion".... "lashing out an attacking"..... that reminds me of someone.... Someone trying to ruin a person's reputation over a difference of opinion.... I can't quite put my finger on it....
Delete"Though I do find it amusing that many of the people who have comment here in a negative way have done so as 'Anonymously'. They're brave to voice hate when they can hide their identities."
Delete...or maybe you posted on some POS obscure platfrom that wants people to jump through multiple hoops just to post under there name. I gave up after it had me sign into Google, which I was already signed into, and then wanted me to "create a title for my blog" when all I wanted to do was post a reply. I wouldnt be surprised if it was phishing my google password.
A lot of other folks manage to have their names on here. But you still remain anonymous whilst being a dick, weird how that works.
DeleteSeek mental help and stop using the transfad just because you want to deny basic nature and seek attention. Also stop telling people they cant have opinions and say what they want. Stupid useless weirdo. YOU. ARE. A. MALE. EVEN. IF. YOU. GET. SURGERY. No wonder so many people are saying Hitler was right on. Fucking degeneracy pushed by bolsheviks on the west to collapse our society and you are going right along aren't you? I hope Islam takes over and shows you what REAL intolerance is.
ReplyDelete"and then, for not reason at all, people voted Hitler into power."
Delete“Degeneracy pushed by bolsheviks”, okay, so are you a literal goddamn Nazi? This sounds a fuckton like “cultural bolshevism”, an insane conspiracy pushed by the Nazi party.
DeleteFuck those trannies.
ReplyDeleteChoke on a curb, fascist.
DeleteWhat an absolute trash article. First of all, you can't change your "gender" unless you redefine the word to mean something other than what it has for decades. Secondly, nothing he said was "transphobia" he never indicated any fear of trans people, he merely stated the fact that gender can not be changed. Deal with it.....Can't believe I tripped across such garbage 5 years after it was written.
ReplyDeleteFuck off bigot, get some better arguments for your trash.
DeleteNote that all the hateful douchecanoe comments are coming from anons. What a bunch cowardly trolls. Or maybe just one knuckle-dragger in their mom's basement.
ReplyDeleteIt's better to just ignore them.
