    Hasn’t that been the case since dark souls 1 over a decade ago?

      You can select a gender in Dark Souls 1 and it's explicitly called gender. You're given male or female.

      Elden Ring gives you a choice between a "buff body" and a "thin body" with the former being masculine and the other feminine. You then choose a masculine or feminine voice, independent of your body type, and your voice decides which pronoun is used for your character. You also have access to a mirror that applies "cosmetics," allowing you to go back to the character creator at any point.

      Cyberpunk 2077 had something similar I think, rather than gender they give you a choice between two body shapes.

      Reactionaries are mad games arent putting the words male and female in the creator screen which is the most whiny pissbaby thing to care about. They've lost no ability to customize their character, it's only expanded, and yet they're still mad
