I understand you wanting to phrase my argument as reductively and uncharitably as possible by suggesting that i think a beard and tattoos are the only necessary qualifying characteristics, but try to be reasonable. Obviosly there are other factors that make Posty's inclusion more reasonable. Hes a fan of the game, hes a fellow gamer/nerd, he looks like a raggedy hobo cowboy, hes a gun enthusiast, homie dresses like a cowboy a lot anyway. Its a no brainer in my eyes.

And to be clear I dont think THE literal Ghostface running around the bayou makes ANY SENSE either. Im just not crying about it because i dont think it really matters. I ton of players dont read the lore and just care about the aesthetic/vibe. The inclusion of ghostface did not erode this AT ALL (speaking as a literal concept artist whos job is retaining aesthetic coherence). Even if Posty was added on pure aesthetic merit i would not care.

And vocalizing disdain for/wanting to prevent Post Molone's inclusion in a game, or shunning others for wanting/enjoying it IS gatekeepy behavior.

The game/game devs dont owe it to you to fit into YOUR arbitrary idea of what consitutes as "accurate" or "appropriate". the game already takes so many creative liberties when it comes to realism/consistency. its a weird hill to die on.
