A shame since the game looks so nice and was actually quite popular in LGBTQ circles.

Jesus christ. Not even a dog whistle just full stop blatant transphobia.
Blows my mind anyone can be this concerned about what others do to be happy.

Of all the things happening in America right now Trans folks existing is what you're ashamed of???
Fuck off asshole.
Fuck off asshole.
Why even post shit like this on Twitter and why do people care so much what others do with their body/sexuality?! Just mind your own business and let others do their thing. It's 2019 for fucks sake.
Game gets already Review bombed on Steam, too.

Does this artist have past history of bigotry? Are they reacting to something or just randomly tweeting this hate speech?
Fuck, and I really like Heartbeat as well. It's so fucking disappointing, especially considering the LGBT themes in the game.
Imagine looking at the news and seeing how our world is dying, how people are dying, how we're being taken over by corporations that care more about money than people.
And then thinks transgender people existing and people being more accepting of eachother is the issue. Jesus christ, they need to go outside.

Ah shit, it's that cool monster battling RPG that Austin Eruption reviewed.
Fuck that artist.
Honestly, I'm baffled anyone who draws cutesy anime art can be such a bigot.

A twitter thread about it below, this shit is crazy and really dissapointing. Played the game and thought it was really charming but now I'm just seriously disgusted.
Yikes. This so fucking blatant it's hard to believe it's posted in 2019..
First time hearing of the game but she claims she's not involved in its development at all and that it's "her girlfriend's game". Not sure if that's any better though lol.

Is this person actually an artist of the game? In her Tweets she claims several times she didn't take part in the development of the game, and when I look at the art she shared on her Twitter I can believe that. It's more on a hobby art level.
It appears that the tweet in the OP is incorrect. It's actually her girlfriend, @Sheppapalooza, who is the artist.
Usually happens when you don't have too many concerns on your life, so you mess with others.
So there is past history of such bigoted infractions on Discord. How awful, even after people tried to help her understand.
Ooph that reaction formation. Repressed people's porn history tells all.

Ah, I thought so. The art of the actual game is on an entirely different level.
I don't think anyone should hold her girlfriend, or the game the girlfriend worked on, accountable for her actions.
Ok so she's not a artist for the game but is in a relationship with one of the devs.
Who is shepl? the actual GF of this fanartist? This tweet thread implies some of the devs behind this game have a secret discord where they act all terfy?
Just want to put the pieces together but it seems like the whole dev team is full of abusive bigots.

so did the person in the tweets work on the game at all, or just dating someone who is?
It's his girlfriend, not the actual developer. I don't see why the game should take the bullet for it, honestly.
She's absolutely awful by the way, that's quite clear.

I'm no expert, but it looks to me like the latter.
Unsurprising if true, but that thread deliberately avoids showing the alleged statements. Even if it were the case, that's not an excuse to misattribute the game's art.
Sounds like both the dev and her girlfriend share similar views if the above information is correct
Damn, I remember wanting to try this game out because it seemed really adorable but this is just terrible.
What about this?
This is really disappointing, I haven't played the game but I know trans people who liked it and recommended it before.
It's pretty astonishing you can outright post hate speech without thinking even for a second how that might turn out.
Most TERFs at least try to dogwhistle a little. This is just, good god. Also, they're gonna be really disappointed if they somehow think trans people only exist in America.

OP
OP
People want someone to target over their own shitty existence. Unfortunately minorities or people that get marginalised are seen as targets by such people. They can't help themselves as it makes them feel better.
I wish they would fuck off and stay quiet too, but in this socially connected world people seem to not give a shit about their own bigotry.
