LGBT Representation
Is there enough LGBT Representation in the character customisation and in the game lore? I want to know before buying because I want to support a dev team that is inclusive and supports everyone!

.......

So, back in the book series, Paul switches how he refers to himself after a point, and switches constantly.

That's about as old as this bait.

I heard DEI isn't the DC's agenda anymore so a permanent ban for OP is expected :lunar2019shockedpig:

Yes, you can have blue hair.

I think there's a rule against making political posts. I accept others perspectives and lifestyle choices. However politics is highly controversial and this is not the proper place for it.

...Not making political posts...

On a Dune game...

You're funny.

Help me understand your logic.

I would, but it involves knowing what the IP is about.

There's a lot of books, and it's not an easy read. But, given as I mentioned Paul has moments where he switches describing himself as masculine or feminine, that dank spice be making everyone non-binary given we're a dream in his head. And that's not covering the fact THE ENTIRE SERIES IS POLITICS.

Good luck. Or, I'd probably not think too hard on the whole "everything can be political", and "you're not a mod, and impersonating one or assuming what is or isn't against the rules" certainly also would fly over your head.

You can decide which in your own time. I'd know which I'd pick, given what I'm seeing.

And speaking of which,

Here's someone else who has no idea what they're screaming about. Given what I know was the last meaning of "wokeism", the original Dune series still would be woke, and the first book was published in 1963.

So, you're a little late to be complaining to this party, my young friend.

And, fun fact number two, given you missed my earlier one. The "God Emperor" from 40k was inspired by Dune. And there was a guy who winds up turning into a Sand worm hybrid, who probably is still not as repulsive as the typical types of people who get mad at this sort of thing smell, either come to think on it...

You can both discuss your takes on the books among yourselves. I'll just save your braincells and mute you both now.

Oh. And by the way?

That post is harassment, for the record. Enjoy.

You've lost me about half way when it started to derail.

I'm just going to address your first logic and ignore whatever the rest was.


There's a key difference between"politics" that's within the game and then real life politics which the OP had introduced.

Both are not the same. One pertains within the parameters of the game. The other, personal bias regarding controversial current events.

I'm assuming you understand the difference. Then you should also understand that I'm not addressing "politics" of dealing with book lore.

I have to laugh a little bit at this situation. I didn't expect someone come to that conclusion, 😂

Seemingly lonely, easily upset troll rants on the Steam forums. Seemingly lonely troll then rants on BlueSky about ranting on the Steam forums, doubtlessly hoping to find some confidence in an echo chamber reverberating little more than his own voice.

Seemingly lonely "literacy bricklayer" troll is "stunned *at* the idiots on display" rather than stunned *by* them. Hmm...

I wonder if the seemingly lonely troll hopes that the virtue-signalling pronouns in his bio might endear him to others like him?

I suspect that seemingly lonely trolls resort to such antics to salve their loneliness and comfort their otherwise fragile egos.

The people I end up seeing in these kinds of threads are always a fascinating bunch. Myself included, I suppose, since I seem to find myself gravitating to them all too often these days.

Low-hanging fruit aside, even a low-effort troll thread should be obvious. Just report this sort of nonsense and move along, folks :)

I don't think so, the power that be have declared there are only two suxes, and if you aren't one or the other, it's to the cutting room floor for that movie. The world has had enough of the confusion over the genetically defective attribute scam, let's get back to reality and play some video games!

There are plenty of games out there for every one. Not all games need to be for every one.
