        1. Because coming out as trans can be a very long arduous emotional journey
        2. Because it’s also teasing Team Cherry (and by extension her) for taking so long to make Silksong

      Silksong is the sequel to hollow knight, and is well known for having taken much, much longer than people wanted to come out (r/hollowknight or whatever at one point was in a bizarre place of almost like mass psychosis as a joke where everyone was pretending it already came out because they were delirious from waiting)

      So the silksong dev took a long time to come out. Which given how long silksong took, is rather fitting
