I bet there was a whole group of people that were really upset when they put a checkbox for female on legal documents. "The woke mind virus thinks women can take care of themselves and should have rights"
Something like that, actually. Women, Race, and Class by Angela Y. Davis is a fascinating read on the subject.
Genuinely can't imagine being mad about this part of character creation when the more pressing issue for if you are a big gamer who care about video games, is that the game doesn't let you pick your own skills.
they killed the skill/feat system years ago. skyrim was the Tiktaalik between real RPGs and whatever the fuck fallout 4 is.
No no its way dumber than that, there are some form of skills in the game still, but they are assigned in fixed sets of 3 to the various "backgrounds" of the game, and there is no options to change what skills each of these sets have, even the blank slate background has 3 fixed skills.
I wanna make a popular video game with the most robust character creation anyone has ever seen but it will not let you make a standard white guy.
I unironically thought about it. Should I ever make a game Im gonna make white people dlc. Like If you wanna be a cracker at least pay for your white privilege.
You missed a couple of big ones

Yeah I tend to stick to my subscriptions or home, and lurk everything.
I can't see what that image is on my instance, but if it's a thumbs up emoji, then
Not an emoji, this gif. https://media.tenor.com/mOwOW1skd38AAAAM/got-you-fam-asian.gif
"I am the wife of my chariot driver" - Elagabalus, who had to be a gay man, since transgenderism wont be invented for millennia.
Cis people with time machine: uhh, I'll give john brown some kalashnikovs, I guess
Trans people with time machine: giving 1000 bottles of estradiol to Elgabalus in exchange for becoming co-empress and using your power to establish world communism 2000 years early
hell, teach her to make it and once she turns the whole productive capacity of the empire towards its production, you can trans the whole empire.
It's true, billionares are paying me thousands to be trans so they can sell more bathrooms and pronouns.
It's like when I went away from school for a week on holiday. I came back and everyone had yo-yos and I was like "damn. Everyone's got yo-yos" but now I went back to Baldies Gate after 25 years and I was like "damn. Everyone's got pronouns"
Non-binary existing in biology for billions of years before sex even evolved
What a fad!
I mean any asexually reproducing organism isn't smart enough to have a gender tbh. And gender ≠ sex, but you already knew that
Yes, you're correct, of course. I'm mostly just pointing out that none of this is new.
Of course. There's a variety of cultures that have had a third gender to pick from that show it's not new.
the real crime in that UI is that everything is just a shitty number and i have to slowly look at each position on the fucking slider bar and then try to remember what position the eye or hair color i liked was
Every time Gamers(tm) rant about pronoun options I turn on the communist mind virus nanobots to convince another western game dev to make their game woke. (Because communism is when you add a single dropdown menu at the start of the game)
