Basically, when funger 2 came out it got wildly popular with troons and fags who immediately started trauma dumping on hirocuck's discord about their mental illness, leading him to just roll with it. He even retconned Marina into being a tranny instead of the troon being Samarie because of that. Picrel, Samarie is an ugly mannish weirdo obsessed with Marina. In the revised canon she's a biofem, but it was all but explicit through "her" moonscorch form that "she" was really a he. Marina and Levi, along with their backstory and romance by contrast were some of the first things settled on the game, and all the troon shit only came later.
Ironically, Daan's perhaps the least homosexual character in the franchise by way of him actually being married. Karin calling him a faggot was hilarious but also a genuine moment of character building because it showed how quick she was to to fly off the handle and talk shit with no real basis in reality just because she was having a woman moment. It also set the antagonisic tone between her and the rest of the party, the same way it would if she called o'saa a nigger. It was based and tasteful, but retarded whiny real life faggots didn't like it, so it was changed.
