There are definitely people who think about this. I bet this guy would. For context, this poor man can’t get immersed into Starfield because it asks him for his character’s pronouns. =(

Picking pronouns is like picking height/weight/any other customization, just how you want to be seen or what text to put in the lines NPCs say to your character.

What an idiot.

I lived in the UK and that guy really comes out as a complete wanker, in so many ways.

It’s an option for fks sake, it gives possibilities without forcing any choice or taking anything away.

Wait, so does he want the game to force all players to be non binary? I’m not watching that video and giving him views.

The video is of a grown man losing his mind over an option that is not mandatory to set. It’s there, but it doesn’t pop up and you are not required to choose anything.

That reminds me of people saying that The Sims 4 has “gone woke” when introducing romantic preferences a few years ago.

That was completely stupid on so many aspects (including the fact that this meant that Sims used to be pan, so they were complaining about the possibility to make a straight character?)

The sims also used to be bugged so that it was more common for sims to get with sims of the same sex. If anything the preference actually made straight couples more common.

I spent 50 hours in starfield and honestly I don’t even remember the gender selector. I’m pretty sure it’s just a little toggle in the character creator that switches from fella to lady to neither, which… Isn’t that exactly the immersion this little guy wants? People referring to him as a him instead of a them? It’s not exactly staring you in the face throughout the entire game. Makes me sad to think this rant probably got famous because this kid has people who value his opinion.
