— "Fuck you, falling into a world and just getting lost! No, no, no! Current-fucking-day! You take everything we love — all our immersions, all our fantasies, all our escapism — and you can't help shovel your dogshit, fucking-crap ideology into everything!"

— He won't fucking shut up. Knock him out.

[Challenging: Success] — The wavering of his voice, the tears dewing in his eyes, the erupting tantrum; he isn't acting like the usual grifters you've seen. He believes this. Video games are the only thing that he has. You can see before you the faded afterimage of a friendless little boy, kneeling alone in a patch of playground grass and clover. He's been this way forever.

— Don't go soft on a display this pathetic. Make an example out of him. His little computer-buddies need to be too ashamed to agree with him in the open.

It always blows my mind how angry capital G Gamers get about games where you very much have the option of playing a cishet guy but can also choose to play as someone different

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?

Fun fact: this is what virtue signalling actually looks like.

Whatever Mr Shouty divorced man actually thinks, he's not acting like this because he cares that much about pronouns but for the approval of his garbage audience.

I though gamer nerds liked having robust character creation.

I love that pronoun choices cause so many chuds to melt down, please add them to everything (also for other reasons of course)

christ, he looks like he's about to cry lmao

ha ha holy fuck i'm still definitely not buying that game, but seeing this man transform into a gammon in real time means that when i meet on the road i will spare his life.

and that's why i support authoritarianism, cause this asshole thinks he supports "freedom" but he's a fucking liar so he needs to be in a pit with some lead implanted into his brain.

literally

Please give me a pronoun slider except when you move it all the way to "man" it doesn't let you select it

he got owned by a trans npc later and it fucking rocks. these dudes are so fucking frothy and stupid it's awesome. on the one hand screaming about immersion and treaterinos and on the other hand failing to recognize that any reasonable future society is going to have a lot more options than just gender affirming surgeries and hrt

Does anyone know how these people react to games like Celeste?

They don’t have pronouns in space

His entire rant is how he wants an immersive escapist fantasy where trans people don't exist. Is this person popular? He reminds me of that guy TotalBiscuit but less articulate.

Everything that overgrown infant cried could very well be directed right back at him.

LGBTQ+ people just want to have a good time in fantasy media and get immersed in a story to be fully themselves using pronoun selection and seeing characters reminiscent of them and their people they know in real life.

However these whining maggots have to constantly shovel their soy ideology into everything, crying about muh pronouns as if LGBTQ+ people being happy is such a fucking abhorrent thing. Constantly reminding LGBTQ+ people of the very dangerous hostile body politic that they seek to escape from every time they go on one of these childish right wing tantrums.

And they've been doing so for about a decade now, it's fucking boring, pathetic even, how much importance these fascists still assign to their insane barbaric opinions as more and more people see them for the twisted creatures they are.

Bro frothing did NOT do this justice. Man was full on rabid.

Don't want to dehumanize, just want to include that humans can also get rabies.

“Muh immersion” is the “but what about the children?” for

I made the mistake of looking up live gamer reactions to this, and saw a lot of folks agreeing with this ghoul. Man, I feel so safe as a trans person these days. Also, it is simply astounding how easy it is to spot the reactionary if you even mention pronouns.
