PSA: The game refers to the player character as "they"/"them".

[F0X7]

Right now is the absolute best time to vote with your wallet based on this information as this is the most critical time for them financially. I don't want any steam awards for this clown, 'take my points', or otherwise. I didn't know about this myself until today so I just refunded. A lost sale hurts them far worse than a negative review.

Nothing short of genuine public apology from Team Ninja and hard set appropriate gender pronouns based on the gender your currently playing patched into the game will ever get me to buy their games ever again. It does not matter if you can change genders on the fly, they made that decision too. If they must hard lock gender at initial character creation, then so be it.

This is more than a vote with wallets, this is spiritual war and if you don't make your voice heard along with refusing to financially supporting their woke behavior, then it will never stop. Right now you can have a spine or bend the knee to woke ideology, the choice is yours.

Final Note: I've taken care not to use any profanity or to insult anyone in anyway. I'm not breaking any rules, I'm just speaking my mind honestly and respectfully. If this post gets deleted/banned/blacklisted or in any way shut down, then whoever makes the decision to do so is proving they are afraid of the free exchange of ideas.

Then I shall only refer to myself as the Royal We as I play the game

Not entirely sure, but pretty sure TN's games since nioh 2 have always done that. Means one layer of dialogue/voices instead of two.

Eh. Whatever terms people want to use is up to them. When you play a game, just envision your character and work with it. If you let everyone, their opinions and their behavior detract from your enjoyment of a game, then you're just robbing yourself the simple joy of playing a decent title. Woke or sleep, no one should have any time for that nonsense. We came here to game.

if they use they/them thats up to them

[[ ] Raver]

annoying. but probably laziness. hogwarts legacy did the same thing and was so confusing.

it just doesn't make sense to normal people to use THEY when i'm standing right next to you. this is a definite wait. most people are worried the pc port will be ♥♥♥♥.

these days there are so many games we can be as picky as we want. so play whatever you want.

lol "free exchange of ideas". More like "free exchange of bigotry."

I might be ok with that, but only if TN made a public disclaimer that they do NOT support woke ideology in any way shape or form and they only made one layer of voice acting due to budget constraints but wanted to let us play as a "male" or "female", not "body type 1/2". But they'll never do that because that would piss off the woke left even more so than if they had just stuck to grammatically correct pronouns and literally skipped the VA for gendered pronoun dialogue bits. And that's the point here: They are pushing an AGENDA, so it is up to brave defenders of the truth to combat them with their wallets and voices.

Choices have consequences. Sure they can put their woke ideology in a game and you can support it. But you and team ninja will face God's judgement one day whether you like that or not. And anything woke is sin and God will punish sin.

jesus has no problem with people calling themselves whatever they want

[GorillaGD]

Probably no actual political reasoning behind that, they were likely just too lazy to bother with recording gender specific lines.

This poster is being a hypocrite. True "free exchange of ideas" would include transgenderism. They are not here in good faith at all. This is just clever wordplay to spread hate.

This person is either trolling or is a full on bigot. In any case their whole "I'm not being offensive" mask is fully off.

Right, whatever I choose to do with my hard earned money is my choice, and there is nothing that you or anyone can do about it except to write lines of displeasure about it on the internet. Team Ninja is one of my favorite devs and I will always support titles from them that I like whether you like it or not. Simple as.

You're calling me names while saying I'm the offensive one. That's hypocrisy. And sure you can express your support of "transgenderism", and I can retort that it is truly just a delusion: a spiritual and mental illness that can only be cured by prayer and faith in Jesus Christ to fix the heart.

He or she is just here to be a troll and spew hate. I bet you they are doing the same thing in any game they are aware of with they/them pronouns in it.
