It’s not the intent of your post and I know I’m on a bit of a tangent, but the middle article about the oversexualization in the ad doesn’t feel transphobic to me as a trans person. Or like, it does, but it does in a way that it makes perfect sense for the world that the game takes place in.
There are lots of examples of commodification of people’s bodies in game, so leaning into that with a trans person feels like a very real version of what a company might do in that universe.
Not trying to nitpick or anything, I just heard about this controversy waaaaaay after the fact and never got a chance to chime in anywhere with anyone.

Contract with a prison for labor. That’s how most businesses do it. You don’t get them to work in your shop, you get them to produce whatever onsite in the prison. Good luck with your shit morals if you do that, though. Hopefully anyone who actually takes advantage of this gets what’s coming to them with the rest of the evil fucks ruining the world.
