Just finished watching the panel, and from the sounds of it, the season sounds.....ok. I am worried that, due to the "grounded" nature they touted, it could be more....erm, "sjw-ie" then ever. Ofc without anything to see of it, its hard to judge.
Kinda surprised they chose Nicole Maines for the role of Nia Nal. With the big hoopla about the character being transgender, wouldn't it make sense to cast a transgender actor? Oo I guess having an activist is the next best thing /shrug.
Anywho, as normal for these con panels, not a great deal was revealed, but I will say at this point, the one thing I AM looking forward to is the crossover this year. That could be really fun.
Peace.

P.S. Katie Mcgrath looked so cool on that panel. I want to take her home with me lol

Nicole Maines IS a transgender woman.
I know, but she is more known as an activist then an actor, seeing as she's been in hardly anything.
As oppose to say Trace Lysette or Jamie Clayton.
I guess the age of the character must have been a large factor.
Peace.

Ah.... hate to break the news, but Nicole Maines was born a male and has converted to female. She is also very hot, which makes it hard to see that, which is kind of the point. But she has always identified as female and lives accordingly.

I'll just quote myself
And for the record, I called them casting an transgender actor back when they said they announced the character would be transgender. I even suggested Candis Cayne.I know, but she is more known as an activist then an actor, seeing as she's been in hardly anything.

K,
I was responding to this excerpt from your recent post below. In your prior posts, I thought you were talking about a transgender character. But to Nicole Maines credit (who is an activist who believes that casting should reflect the character's gender), they actually cast a transgender actor to play a transgender character.
"Kinda surprised they chose Nicole Maines for the role of Nia Nal. With the big hoopla about the character being transgender, wouldn't it make sense to cast a transgender actor? Oo I guess having an activist is the next best thing /shrug."
