and therefore the game has yaoi elements
No. Nobody argued that.

Uhm, you know that for some people, the character is still maybe not the be all and end all for flawless, none ridiculous trans guy representation? It's almost as if these are opinions, not facts, oh my!

I've seen enough of the game, in playthroughs and snippets to roughly know the characters. I've seen most scenes with him via postings/discussion and my point still stands. I think he's a very sketchy choice for the, in my eyes, fairly gimmicky "transTM" character. It's almost as if people can have different opinions.

Look, Dream Daddy is an American dating sim created (in part) for an American LGBTQ audience focused on the dating lives of adult and middle-aged gay and bisexual fathers. If you want to argue the merits of yaoi or bishonen, there are plenty of media and characters that perfectly fit those genres and tropes. Trying to cram a middle-aged goth father into those tropes on the basis of squinting at the box art is bad game criticism.

Note that no one has said that Dream Daddy is perfect. What I've said is that Dream Daddy doesn't fit into a genre where most trans people are "LOL traps" or "LOL obvious cross-dresser." When the only times you see yourself on a screen (any screen) is as a dramatic problem, predator, or joke, there's nothing wrong with having works where it's referenced in passing and NOT a point of dramatic or comedic tension.
