I dunno why I have a memory of the Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart devs playing coy when someone asked one of the devs if Rivet was trans or not.
I have a memory that they were dodging that question.
Is that a false memory.

Not really a false memory. I do recall them kiiiiinda entertaining that question and even acknowledging that some art exists, but ultimately they said nothing about that.
The two main designers for Rivet were on twitter talking about how they acknowledge the lore that only male lombax have tails, and that they know it could imply Rivet as being trans. Insomniac proper refused to go near the question.
Hell, the two artists quit after the game came out partially due to the stress of pushing through her current design as the old guard wanted her to have a more conventional "babe-lien" look (see the Angela Cross.)
Has me worried what they might do with her if she is in the sequel. But, for now, I'm glad we got at least one game with her being cool.
Ah yes, the ultimate dilemma for creatives. If they make the girl character too hot, people complain about unrealistic beauty standards. Too plain, and people start screaming about feminism. There is no winning, only pain.
