Let's hope this game will be inclusive!

And represent everyone, not just the two most popular genders!

It appears the field is wide open for a team of 'inclusive' developers to design and publish an entirely 'inclusive' game.

One can only wonder why we haven't seen such a blockbuster game as of yet.

Given the number of similar posts in almost every game forum it would seem the market is there, right?

[Soylent_Greene]

The "Alternate Lifestyle" accounts for about 15% of the gaming populace...

Surely those numbers guarantee a blockbuster!

Just like Bud Lite and Snow Brown

[Magpie]

There are only two genders.

[Howdy Y'all]

No points for OP.

[Sis'Luna]

I hope not
Inclusivity has already killed a lot of cinema and video games.

[Gleitfrosch]

That's cheap bait, haven't you learned how to do it right from the comments in veilguard, concord, AC: shadows or starfield forums? I expect more effort next time.

It's almost if people can make a thousand accounts demanding it, but can't buy thousand copies of the game to show for it. It's false market expectations. It has been tried it has failed, time and time again.

OP is probably someone who got upset when Cyberpunk 2077 allowed you to make whatever gender you wanted.

Seriously, gender in games is not my most important consideration. Do the characters look okay, does it have a good storyline and how does it play with the controls. Those are the important parts.

[De Vilks]

It's my guess but its psy-op, using semantics to divide people. Ill of course gladly contribute, and tell there are 2 genders, one who impregnates and another which gets impregnated, and everything else is mental or physical disability, not a gender. People will view semantics along the lines of functionality of the words, so, male and female, and everything else which is kinda pointless because its pointless to know the name for each disability case for your daily life. No wonder people get aggressive when it gets enforced and something not normal is portrayed as a norm. You can literally get to jail for "hate speech" when you tell your opinion how you view the semantics in that case.

Mind you, I think people should get their pronouns, mostly so that I know who is so deeply in their fantasies that its better to keep distance. Cognitive dissonance is a b!tch and its better avoid people who have huge problem with that, especially when it ends in mutilating their bodies. You know, like flashy colorful things in nature tell you usually "I'm toxic, do not approach". I have enough of minefields in my real life, so Ill be actually glad if someone placed a flag (oh boy that was so ironic) on some of them.

Also, I don't want to, you know, open special camps for anyone, before someone jumps out there and call me a n@zi. I want to help people. In the same way like I would like to have paraplegic walk again, I would like to have people with other disabilities get their functionality back, whenever its walking or breeding. Typical far leftist will tell you its ok to sterilize people, and brainwash them from early age to make that step. Austrian painter would be proud, because its basically people who he would consider deficient and pointless self eliminate themselves from society. It takes interesting turns, the western world.

Shai Hulud is not a gender so probably no.

[Nick]

Anyway on Arrakis everybody will mostly look right the same: some humanoid in some stillsuit.

[AFoxButPurple]

here's hoping the go the smart route and call it Masculine or feminine, or Body a Body B, just saying the word gender nowadays gets you in trouble.

[De Vilks]

They didn't called it anything, literally, you just pick the body, from femine-like and masculine-like. Cheers for Funcom to figure out the way to not get blasted constantly by the fanatics from the either side. I mean it doesn't mean they wont get blasted, but personally I can't figure out anything better to avoid discussion, without taking any sides in the western world pea brain parade. Something I like to do, but hey, I like to take a mud bath from time to time. I tend to tell myself it keeps me closer to the ground :P .

There are three natural genders, Male, Female and one that is rare but does account for 0.5% of the world population. people born with both genders genitals, which both function and can live normal life like the others. and a a variant of it where only one genital functions and the other has to be surgically removed. these people are called Hermaphrodites and they are not fiction.

But these are so rare the general population has no idea they exist.

You mistake functional gender, that has its purpose in evolutionary cycle, with genetic disability to breed, and most of hermaphrodites have dysfunctional organs, with a really rare examples of having some of the functionality, but with real health risks if they were actually used.

Not a gender, disability, something that needs to be helped with. If one wants that help that is.

But as I said, its just semantics, you can call genders however you like, just don't force everyone to play along.
