What’s wrong with choosing pronouns? Pronouns are a part of the English language.

I am not huge fan of the pronouns but I am willing to just not let it bother me. The characters are all without gender so in this instance the pronoun is really the only thing that assigns gender.

Oddly enough I have never seen them actually used in the game play aside from that first choice.

This day in age I have a little bit of sympathy for devs with this kind of stuff because whether they include them or not people will complain either way so its really a no win for them.

Yeah, how dare they ask about your pronouns... not like they are necessary in the real world or anything...

because the new breed of left leaning authoritarians get their social engineering via ESG programs.
There are no male or female forms but BODY TYPE 1,2,3,4...
and no woman voice or man voice.
And pronouns are the soft entry into LGBTQ ideology territory normalising anything other than the binary of male and female.

So what you will see is a lot of dishonest answers making references to the common practice of choosing your pronouns as part of a gender identity but they act as it's a grammatical thing . Also these cultists of inclusivity ( google DEI programs ) will gaslight you with "we always had this" / "you also have pronouns!"/"you are using pronouns" to mask the agenda.

Corporations and gaming developers push these agendas to signal their alignment with ESG practice and these sort of ideological check boxes are low hanging fruits for them.

You do understand that pronouns are stuff like he, him, she, her as well, right? The game is asking you about your gender (or preferred pronouns), would you prefer the game to just not let you choose a gender at all? Ironically sounds very progressive, but I doubt that's your intention.

Cult of Inclusivity sounds like an awesome band name.

I deleted the rest of the post to save my sanity.

There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

You forgot They/Them, not surprising since it blows you entire argument here out of the water lol. They/Them is the genderless option (and very progressive!!!).

What is hilariously telling to me and identifies this as all useless virtue signaling is that the stupid pronouns are not even used in the game play. The mess is there just so they can check that box of inclusion.

That's what people have the biggest issue with with this stuff. The vast majority of people really don't care what you identify as. I want everyone to be happy, included and unharnessed but this pronoun stuff in games has gotten to the point where it feels forced and dumb. This game is a perfect example pick you pronouns so you can feel represented, but they don't use them at all in the game, as you character is never refereed to in 3rd person (at least that I've seen so far).

And yes having no pronoun or gender selection would be far more appropriate. The characters are only made to look male of female by the hair or choices you make. They are sexless mannequins.

"I want everyone to be happy, included and unharnessed but this pronoun stuff"... must only cater to me and people like me. Anybody who is different to me is wrong and should never EVER express themselves in ways that are different to how I express myself. Is that what you mean?

Oh, and they/them has been used as a singular pronoun since before "you" was.

[AreWeGaming]

I read all your comments and how about that you're forced to do it. Its not that i need a pronoun to identify in the GAME but its the fact you can't just put no answer or skip it. Put it like this, I bought the game and now i cant even play without putting a pronoun. I dont need or want to do that period because its a VIDEO GAME not real life.

They/them was only used to refer to a group of individuals. That's why so many people think it's silly. People are using plural pronouns to refer to themselves. "You" is a second person pronoun and is not relevant to the discussion of third person pronouns.

edit:
I just realized you were quoting me lol. Since you clipped me let me re include the relevant context you left out because it did not fit your argument:

" I want everyone to be happy, included and unharnessed but this pronoun stuff in games has gotten to the point where it feels forced and dumb"

My issue is that it is implemented poorly, not that it is there. It feels forced and non genuine. That should annoy you more than it does me.


+1 Jester shall be awarded for the attempt to quote me out of context
