Just saw a social media post about BG3 VAs coming back to record dialogue with proper they/them pronouns. 30% of the comments passed the vibe check, the other 70%....gulag. re-education camps. The pit. I dont care. Theyre so miserable that a digital, escapist medium trying to cater to as many people as possible makes them angry. If that is some shit that ruins your day, then give me some fucking money, fuck you i need medicine while you're malding and seething over something you probably won't have to see on your playthrough. I know you have the money to give me because THIS is what pisses you off. Not the current state of the country, but pronouns in video games.
Keeping this out of the gaming sub so that my angry rants dont detract from cool shit
it's so bad out there right now. I have a huge list of blocked channels on freetube but honestly at this point if I want to see an opinion on a game I want to buy I'm staring at the channel names and titles on YouTube trying to figure out if I'm about to hear the vilest shit
for instance one of the earliest games I played was the 1999 space RTS Homeworld which recently released a third installment. The reviews I watched were specific about why they didn't like the story and gameplay but the comments were just full of people saying "woke" and "dei" and at this point I just can't trust anyone who posts online about games anymore since so much of it is ideologically driven. Not to mention that I always worry about paying for a game only to find out later that like they're donating my money to Whites R Us or something.
