It's just hilarious to me that these snowflakes are so triggered (remember when they made fun of liberals for that?) by the mere option to change your pronouns that has absolutely zero impact on the game. You can entirely ignore the feature if you want.
Let them be angry and make fun of them when they do, they deserve the ridicule.
They still call liberals fragile snowflakes. Cognitive dissonance has never been an obstacle.
It’s practically a cliche at this point because it’s so true, but it's always projection.
Everyone has to think like them. Everyone has to act like them. Any deviation from what they consider the norm is bad and evil and must be avoided.
Between this, BG3 having non-binary options and same sex romances, bud light, etc doing things to let others feel noticed - Conservatives are gonna have nothing left to enjoy from boycotting.
I’m ok with this.
I am too, but it turns out they're trying to build a parallel economy and support only oppressive vendors and producers. They'll start clawing their own eyes out when they've watched their thirty-seventh movie featuring only non-Woke performers like Gina Carano and Kevin Sorbo and they get tired of crying into their MyPillows.
The whole "parallel economy" thing is so bizarre, and reminds me that these are extraordinarily gullible and broken people.
I mean, they will gladly empty their pockets for grifters selling them shitty knockoffs at twice the price so they can feel like they've owned the libs. It's absolutely bonkers.
And the things that appeal to them are so weird! "Try our 100% anti-vaccine protein bars! Crack open a cool can of gender-conforming piss beer! Nazis will feel at home on our completely unmoderated social media platform! Buy toilet paper with zero recycled content! These dick pills are abortion-free!"
Like, what the actual fuck is wrong with people that crap appeals to?

They're frightened, desperate, and increasingly hateful.
Must be exhausting being a conservative and being terrified of everything.
Its refreshing, actually.
Cause everything is someone elses fault, So you never have to have an ounce of self-reflection, so you never have to blame anything on your own deeds and behavior.
Funny how a game about fearing the unknown is being hated on by a group that fears the (relatively) unknown.
I don't know, my parents managed for years. Nice being an adult and getting Halloween. Maybe you are right that it is exhausting they just get used to being in a continuous state of it. Like a pack a day smoker vs someone who has never smoked. One can handle nicotine levels that could kill another.
Oh I really doubt many are boycotting it, just poking the anthills that are their fanbases and communities to keep them engaged
They either own and play the game and tell people that they boycott it or never had any intention of playing the game and that's their boycott
Honestly, The Gamers are famous for screaming from the rafters they’re going to boycott a game, then get it day one.
Even the FUCKING PRONOUNS dude kept playing after he finished his hissy fit.
Reminder that every decade, conservatives whined about something fucking stupid.
2020s. Pronouns. Trans. Blue hair?
2010s. Gay marriage.
2000s. Gay representation on TV.
90s. Video games. Rap music.
80s. D&D. Gay people existing.
70s. Rock music. And interracial marriage?
60s. Hippy culture. Being antiwar.
50s. Fucking hips shaking on TV?
You forgot "children being taught evolution", that was a pretty big one. Also birth control pills, which many of them are still fuming over.
You can also keep going back to when they were insisting radio would rot children's brains or even further back to when they opposed electrification.
But at least electricity can kill you. Modern reactionaries take entitled whining to a whole new level, growing physically violent because there's people out there who are unhappy with the genitals they were born with.
I guess we'll never understand the horror of having an extra checkbox in a character creator that they have to look at (but not click, since it's already what they want by default).
Anyway, fuck em. They can either accept that society is going to treat minorities with basic human decency or they can stare at the wall for 8 hours a day waiting for new far-right approved content. It's their live to piss away.
every decade conservatives whined about something
And by the following decade they had been proven to be not just wrong, but actively impeding basic human decency
Conservatives have been on the wrong side of every major societal improvement, every major argument, on every major thing.
"you can’t help shovel your dogshit fucking crap ideology into everything." he froths, while shovelling his dogshit fucking crap ideology into everything. What a weapons-grade bellend.
I wish conservatives would just say the quiet part out loud and stop insulting everyone's intelligence. Own your bigotry. Don't be a wuss. Oh wait. It generally has to do with pre-emptively distracting from obvious predelictions towards pedophilia. Nevermind then.
Lol go ahead, others will enjoy the games while conservatives throw their hissy fits.
Super weird, because after 20 some odd hours in, I can't remember pronouns even coming up outside the creation screen.
It comes up any time an NPC refers to your player to another NPC, and there are quite a bit of multi-NPC dialogues in the bigger quest lines. But I mean, how likely are you gonna remember or think about every instance they say "he" or "she" or "them?" For most people, this is so insignificant that it's almost like you didn't even have the choice; but for those that hearing their preferred pronouns is uncommon IRL, it would be very apparent and likely very uplifting to be validated.
Its especially innocuous if you choose the pronoun on the character screen that you're are used to using. Or just leave it at default, which is cis gendered. You have to really go out of your way to make this weird.
It comes up every so often in battle. You will hear the enemies, both on a planet and in space yell something to the effect of "someone stop him/her/them". It is so quick you can easily miss it.
Really the outrage is probably nothing more than click bait. Like a video made the rounds shortly after it came out of some guy yelling for 2-3 minutes about pronouns.
Lol I cannot express how little I care about which random thing our reactionary hyperconservatives have decided they need to boycott this week
Good, no one wants them around anyway.
I don't know if anyone knows this, but the Steam forum moderators are pretty far right as well. I'm currently banned for mentioning Nexus mods, in a 100 page thread about the site itself. The conservative attacking pronouns and free speech, are not banned. You can find plenty of threads with conservative alt-right talking points about pronouns and anti-transgenderism, including insulting and degrading behavior. These threads stay up. Meanwhile, myself and others who defend trans activism, are banned. I appealed the ban, and get no replies from any moderator over multiple days. It's fucking disgusting how the site is being moderated. I'll post the ban reason and what I said, below:
"Nexus only bans mods made for bigots They don't want to support any content that promotes bigotry and allows people to pretend certain marginalized groups don't exist. Trans people are part of the game, and anyone trying to erase them is acting on bigotry. You are perfectly free to mod the game yourself or get the mod elsewhere. You just can't get it from nexus mods."
Ban Reason: This post contains material that promotes software piracy. cheats, or exploits. This type of content is not allowed on the Steam Community.
When Twatter finally dies the media is going to have to work that much harder to find the one guy somewhere who is outraged by something. I wonder if we are going to see a return of the Midwest Safaris, complete with interviews with retired folks in small town diners.
Imagine being such a snow flake that what words people use to describe themselves makes you so mad
Starfield and BG3 aren't being boycotted. Those are just empty threats. Remember all the other times people said they were going to boycott their favorite games, and actually did it? Neither do I.
I'm boycotting it because I'm not a fan of 16-28 FPS and I don't have a $5000 PC to actually run it.
Conservatives when basic linguistic morphology groups are present in the language of any given media.
