It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

My man's complaining about being constantly taken out of the immersion
Oh, is it asking your pronouns every time you enter a new planet? Every time you boot up the game? Every time you're introduced to a new character? Yeah, wow, that's so excessive
Wait, what's that, only during the character creation screen and then never again?
Has your brain been eaten by maggots?
Dumb question but wouldn't the game using your preferred pronouns actually add to the immersion?
Like I guess I play games differently because it doesn't bother me if I play a boy or girl character but if you are so hung up on the game asking your pronouns it seems like that's the kind of person that would WANT the game to call them by their pronouns.
Yes. His rant about immersion makes no sense. Also ranting about "current day" over and over again as if California invented gendered pronouns in 2020 and they wouldn't exist in the future?
It seems to me that he is so caught up in the culture war news cycle that he is unable to understand that these things exist outside of that and his brain is unable to process the word "pronouns" without thinking of Steven Crowder. Like some kind of twisted pavlovian response.
This right here is really probably what it is. Why weren't these incels throwing hissy fits about picking genders pre-2020? Like, idk you could pick your gender in Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowwind, and any other Bethesda game. Does Starfield allow for [they/them] because if that is the only difference, then it's absolutely a Pavlovian response caused by shit like Chowder, Carlson, Shapiro, et al. And it's frankly disgusting. And I guess back to the old question, do these people not recall learning about pronouns in their language arts classes back in school before they dropped out? Gonna find out if this person has Twitch account and gonna hop in chat and start calling him "her".
