It's not surprising to me really given that gamers have thrown fits over past games using types instead of 'female' or 'male' but I guess I just can't get over how fucking stupid it is to care so much that you download a mod that reverts the text in a character creation menu. The slightest change in language in order to be more welcoming to other players is treated as the downfall of society by these people.
(For context, this is on nexusmods)
That probably 3 guys creating account and redownlofing it to make a point. No way so much people are this dumb.
chuds gonna chud
so they would rather take the time to install a mod than just see this screen for 7 seconds?
They aren't taking the time to install it, it has way less downloads compared to similarly endorsed mods.
And would remind themselves of this "travesty" of a character creation screen every time they turn the game on and it loads their modlist, instead of just the few times they create a character.
I think they just want to be angry, but are also lazy. Which is why they always pick the character creation stuff to get mad about. No sense getting mad about a quest 30 hours into the game, that takes effort to get to! But the character creation screen? Even a monkey smashing random buttons could probably reach it no problem.
…for a game they already paid for!
And they accuse us of virtue signaling when they are incapable of shutting up about being good little conformists for 10 seconds.
Love that for them. Its great that we're getting accuaed of newspeak for checks notes caring about how our words affect other people, while these dorks are out there literally controlling language and erasing things they dont like
tangential: the "body type" stuff is annoying because stuff like pronouns and voice options just end up getting tied to the choice anyway in a lot of games. i get that it's like a liberal baby step in the right direction but the form (at least in mainstream or AAA) is still doing a lot to uphold Gender and has a long way to go.
all games should embrace sims 4 thought
Saints Row 2 stays winning. Choose any of six voices. Gender slide, not binary. Pronouns just the Boss. Can wear all clothes not locked behind gender .
and you're canonically transfem, but that's never remarked on beyond some Fresh Prince of Bel-Air "aunt viv did you do something with your hair"? lampshading
Maybe it's just the games I'm playing but in my experience most of the time when games have "body type" instead of gender they also have separate pronoun and voice options.
Elden Ring didn’t, that’s my only experience with it.
can't wait to watch their heads explode when they get to this loading screen
edit: Oblivion loading screen: If playing on PC, you can change your character’s gender mid-playthrough. No one is stopping you. Cast fireball on citizens or creatures who take issue with your decision.
also, do it in real life too :D
I wonder why it’s only on PC?
Console commands I believe
It's obviously horseshit that this is even a thing, but 2.9k endorsements on a game that just came out with basically no mods outside of reshade presets and .ini tweaks means only the most deranged fucking losers are even looking at this right now, and it wouldn't surprise me if there are organized campaigns of incel reactionaries who organize to always endorse shit like this on nexusmods.
Nexusmods has its issues, but they're pretty decent about removing anti-lgbtq content historically and don't really play around with the dumbest of bad-intent abstractions like "it's actually just restoring the game to its original intention." It wouldn't surprise me to see this "mod" get nuked fairly soon and then a 2 day media circus led by the rat lord himself about censorship in media or some bullshit.
In short, I love my trans comrades

We've already been through that news cycle. Nexusmods caved and unbanned the mod.

That's what fucking happens, these losers have nothing better to do than watch their right wing streamers all day, something gets mentioned by a few that becomes a target of either hate or endorsement and they pile on it.
While us commies are studying theory or reading about the new unfolding horrors in the world the chuds are looking for ways to fight 'woke' and they think endorsing a mod like this is part of their struggle against removed(I guess the word describing the state of being removedd is banned? Ffs I don't know how to substitute it, I'm trying to say what Nazis say society has become, a lesser form than it was, starting with 'degen')
I probably have more pity than disdain for these sorts of people, it must be the saddest existence, lonely and detached from reality.
One of the biggest figures in Morrowind & general Elder Scrolls lore is an intersex nonbinary demigod who was a lover of their chief general who they then schrodinger murdered by impaling him (symbolism intentional) with a spear made from the severed penis of the god of SA.
Elder Scrolls has always been weird and queer as fuck but these dumbasses will pretend like it's gone woke because it included a nongendered body type option.
::king of the hill meme:: those chuds would be really mad if they could read
It...It's you! THE HE/HIM-RO OF KVATCH!
Idk if I’m crazy but when I was 5 years old I found out Blue was a girl instead of a boy and when I was 8 I found out the same about Metroid.
None of this effected me in any way and I just want to know why gamers are so emotionally stunted by content.
Metroid is a girl???
Finding out sheik was Zelda was basically the first step in turning me trans
It's the most endorsed but doesn't even have enough downloads to make it to the front page when sorting by popular.
So I guess chuds care enough to virtue signal but not enough to actually spend thirty seconds downloading it.
That's because anybody endorsing this is a tourist who hasn't downloaded Oblivion Remastered in the first place.
This is just the appetizer until "based_pedophile1488" learns how to mod in hentai titties and swastika armbands.
Funnily enough, there's already like a dozen titty mods, and its only been 4 days since the release 
there's titty mods for Noita, a game where your character sprite is about 20 pixels total
It's an inevitable part of modding
I’m p sure the massive dongs mod just spontaneously forms out of primordial chaos every time a new Scrolls game is released
dongs
woah woah woah, no no no we're going to get thirteen different naked lady bodies before the first naked dude body is going to grace us with it's dongified presence
I would have never noticed that games were using body type instead of gendered language if not for people pointing it out to me as if i would care.
"It's a fantasy world where lizards without lips can speak English but fuck if they can be anything other than male or female" what the fuck
Edit: maybe they don't want reality in their fantasy game. "This is a fantasy world where there are only two genders don't ruin the immersion by bringing real life into it
20k freaks wasted their time down loading this, 99% of people that bought the game are just happy and having fun, oblivious to this nonsense
the devs didn't even do anything because pronouns are still tied to it. this was literally a performative virtue signal and the chuds are performatively making a mountain out of something you interact with for five seconds ahead of dozens of hours of gameplay where you spend 90% of the time not seeing your character and most of the dialogue about you is second-person.

also the porn mods are better in skyrim and will continue to be better in skyblivion.
Didn't nexusmods ban people for uploading similar stuff before? Hope they do so here too
Yes, there were several big controversies in recent years that made it to gaming news sites (and shitholes like 4chan and /r/kotakuinaction). The user featured here was quickly banned, then shortly was unbanned and the mod restored, but similar stunts in the past resulted in permanent bans and mod removal.
This article about the Spider-Man trans flag replacement mod in 2022 probably stirred the chud toilet, especially the "delete your account and fuck off" bit at the end. The NexusMods team are known not to tolerate edgelord shit, so it's disappointing they let this most recent idiot back on.
There are hundreds of pages of 4chan-tier bigotry and dumbfuckery like this in the bans and warning subforum. G*mers get the fucking wall, no questions or mercy.
Uh, you allow women characters? OK Mr. Sir Wokesalot. I'm gonna create a mod to get rid of the option to play a female character.
