Perhaps there needs to be an informational campaign or something. (I'd like to comfort myself with that, pfft.)
Yeah, I wish we could've got to see more backstory for a lot of characters (I still pine for that WWII Cobra game nnngh). Clearly I need to beat Peace Walker, dammit. I stopped the Boss AI (er, she stopped herself?) but never did the stuff after it because I'm so lazy.
Oh yeah I definitely wouldn't use it as a noun or verb, for one it looks silly and secondly I agree it doesn't function as either one. I guess I'm just used to seeing adjectival forms as solely adjectives because I'm pretty sure I've used "transgendered" before. But you definitely bring up a good point, I'll have to keep an eye out for that now. Though now this makes me wonder about all the other LGBT terms; like why gay isn't used as noun (often) by the general public but homosexual is. Because people think "a homosexual" doesn't sound as silly as "a gay"? Dammit now I wish I could do mass public research surveys and stuff.
