MODERATORS
Because it's not actually about the pronouns. These people aren't actually angry about pronouns.
They're angry about trans and non-binary people. They're angry that people are growing to accept these people, who they do not think should be accepted. They are angry that a group they don't think is normal, is being accepted as normal.
I don't think it's even about that, they're angry because the want to be angry. The why doesn't matter, if the current right wing outrage du-jour had been... I dunno, left handed people rather than trans people, you'd see all the same people working themselves into a screaming tantrum if a game or movie had a left handed person in it.
For sure. And when there’s not enough people focused on trans people they’ll shift their focus to some other marginalized group to harass.
These limp dicked losers have literally nothing better to do but jerk each other off in their seedy racist forums and message boards.
Oh no, it's very much hatred. The same hatred they had for black or gay people.
Who the hell are you to say that I hate black and gay people? You're overgeneralizing a group, how much different are you in this case? Stop with that man, this is why we can't have actual debates.
The problem is you want to debate.
There's no debate. No one has to tolerate your intolerance.
Gay people exist. Trans people exist. Fin.
Stereotyping people and overgeneralizing things without actually debating your point is ridiculous. Grow up man.
And the "replaced white people". And the female leaders. If someone wants a taste, go through the Steam forums for the game. It's a complete deranged mess.
Steam forums are the absolute bottom of the barrel for game discussion, maybe tied with 4chan.
Let's roll it back a bit. There's a bit of a difference between "accepted" and "tolerated". For the most part, the trans community is merely tolerated by the majority of the country.
I don't know what the point of your comment is.
Trans and non-binary people are becoming more accepted as normal over time. The people screaming about pronouns don't actually care about pronouns, they oppose that gradually growing acceptance.
It's not "about trans and non-binary people," it's about the injection of identity politics into video games. The removal of the mod shows that activist fiat is necessary to present the illusion that people buy into gender ideology.
The existence of trans and nonbinary people is not an injection of identity politics into video games. The fact that they exist and a video game is acknowledging their existence is not political.
No no no, you have to break their brains.
Ahem:
White people in a video game is political. Statistically, the default is Han.
Wow 2+2 is 4 in this video game??? Didn’t know it’s going so WOKE
You just but I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
Conservatives have a long running feud with the sciences.
I thought 2+2=4 was anti-woke? Wasn't there a whole weird Twitter drama thing a couple of years ago where 2+2=4 was considered the racist side?
did a bot write this? what are you even trying to say?
Are you one of those people that thinks anything that's not straight cis white is "identify politics"? That anything that isn't your world view is "political"? If so, please go fuck yourself. If not, I have no idea what you're on about.
Not a bot; just a bigot. If you scroll to the very bottom, a good 30% of the total comments are this guy digging a hole trying to prove it's "woke" society that's the problem and not him.
That's legitimately just sad. What a pathetic individual.
It got worse:
Either a troll, or too far gone to help.
Teaching children how to be gay, sure.
Hey, Children. If you like somebody and they like you back, don't worry about which gender you think you belong to.
People can love people no matter if they are the same gender or not.
Pronouns, gender, genitals, etc. in player-character customization are just yet another option for someone to tailor their gameplay to whatever experience they want.
The only identity politics comes from the people politicizing it.
"Identity politics" always seems to mean "I am upset that different people exist."
This is a nothing option in a video game. Nobody's rubbing your nose in it. It doesn't affect you, at all, but it's a neat little extra for other people. Do you give a shit about other people? Or does the mere possibility of anyone distinct from you, the protagonist of reality, fill you with emotions you can't handle? There's no third option, here. It's a checkbox for how NPCs choose voice lines, in exactly the same way they've done for decades. It's just separate now.
But of course one glance at your profile shows you're an unapologetic bigot, and what you mean by "gEnDeR iDeOlOgY" is exactly what every other diet Nazi means by it: you hate queer people, and you want it to be their fault.
Out.
Yeah, having that "he/she/they" toggle and calling sex "body type 1 and 2" instead of male/female sure is political. You know when it became political? When people saw them and went "REEEEEEEEEEEEE" because they're bigoted dumbfucks.
,"Identity politics" in this case meaning "trans and non-binary people exist and are trans or non-binary respectively".
Bullcrap. It shows nothing of the sort. It shows nothing more than that NexusMods doesn't feel like hosting assholes.
It's only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There's nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.
The fact that you unironically used the term 'gender ideology ' proves that you are, in fact, a bigoted little shit.
