Cosmo was shunned because he went looney tunes in a very short timespan.

For those who don't really watch speedruns, what happened to him was really fucked up.

- Lost in very important tournament.

- Got depressed because of it.

- Girlfriend left him.

- More depressed.

- Suddenly, "I'm actually a girl".

I feel really really sorry for Cosmo, so much went wrong in his life in a very short timespan and he snapped.

Can you give me examples where I'm breaking the guidelines? I've been extra careful to leave comments that contribute to the discussion and share a unique point of view.

While that is a possible sequence of events, it may have been a different cause/effect relationship. From what I saw losing the Nintendo World Championship wasn't something she was unhappy about and was glad to just be a part of it. Maybe girlfriend left because she couldn't handle the flack they were both receiving. Maybe transitioning is something Narcissa has been trying to suppress for a long time and finally couldn't anymore, and everything together happened.

I guess my point is, you really don't know all of that and you seem to be painting her in the worst possible light, which sort of is what I was talking about in my above comment. I can't say any of us would have been able to handle the same situation any better, same with No Man's Sky.

It's not "He's actually a girl." She's a woman. Use the right pronouns.
