If you had to make it a thing to constantly battle against people that deny your existence, you might understand it a little better.

Like bullying, harassment.

Yeah, pretty sad that there are pathetic crybabies deleting gendered pronouns from their games because queer people make them cry. I hope no one is ever tricked in to viewing conservatives as tough guys ever again. They're softer than Charmin.

The mod would not have got any attention if people didn't blow it up on reddit and twitter. Just like the white Wyll mod for Baldur's Gate 3.

I wish people would realize that. That Hogwarts game wouldn't have been so successful if it wasn't for all the people buying it just because of the outrage.

But now you get people who see this and go "I don't understand what the problem is" which creates arguments that drive these people even further into a direction we don't want them to go.

Yall are creating your own enemies. People are naturally inclined to side against the loud obnoxious complainers. It doesn't matter if you're in the right or wrong. Humans are just that simple.

The key to winning is to not give them any attention.

Nah, fuck that shit.

All the white washing racist mods for Bioware games and Larians should be called out and banned.

Giving space for bigots to foster and spread their hatred only let's them ruin and taint all they touch.

If it's done for racist reasons, sure.. then yeah. I can see you're point.

Changing the color of someone isn't innately racist. As a white dude, I prefer Latina girls. Can see myself making a tan girl toon. Not the same, but similar.

Doesn't have to be racist innately. Fact. No way will you objectively prove otherwise either.

In our zeitgeist, we have bigotry against such people front and center. I wouldn't host you either, even if you didn't mean bad. Not my fault you couldn't read the tone of the room. About pronouns I mean, I for one would worry about their safety and health more than your preferences. Host it somewhere else.

A simple option to choose your pronouns caused this much of a stink. It takes all of 2 seconds to select what you want and continue on with the game.

And this is the type of thing people call "wokeness" in gaming.

It's a petty mod for emotionally fragile culture warrior conservatives, but there's literally no good reason to ban it beyond being triggered about its existence.

It's not like it's some oppressive cheat, it's just a text change.

"It's not a 'political statement' or an 'alignment to one side or the other in the culture war'. We stand for diversity and inclusion in our community and the removal of diversity, while appealing to many, does not promote a positive modding community."

I know its just the pronoun option they are removing but I would love to see a mod that removes every single pronoun from the game. It would make the game incomprehensible. These people don't realise just how intertwined pronouns are with the human language. Its why this pronoun outrage is the dumbest thing ever.



This is the type of chaos I'm down for.

Changing Isabela from black to white is racist.
Changing Vivienne from black to white is racist.
Changing Wyll from black to white is racist.

These are just facts and pretending it's just about you wanting 'Latina' girls is such rot. If you can't see the obvious racism in turning the black people white then I'm not sure anyone is capable of helping you.

Not true. Finding a certain tone of skin color personally attractive is not racist.

Racism:
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

Nothing comes ahead of gamer choice imo.

Doesn't matter if you do. Normalizing such people, in our zeitgeist, can be a net positive.

You think it bothering you will translate into it bothering everybody else. Being self centered might make it hard on you, but do understand not everybody thinks like you do.

Inohira posted...

Of course, things revolving around what you personally care about is what would matter. Wouldn't be posting like you are otherwise. Par for course.

I'm all for choice too, but also for the well being and safety of said people. To me it's a stupid mod anyway. And one can make exceptions if rational.

You can cry about it if you want. Or not cry but continue to be on the defensive about it? Makes sense.

Anyone who would make that shift was always a dumbass though and them being shown the door is a good thing.

We can't go through any fucking topic about LGBTQ discrimination without some enlightened centrist going "No one will ever support your lifestyle if you keeping putting them through purity tests! I'm totally posting in good faith!"
