He’s not wrong, that shit does get annoying. I stopped playing Forza 5 because of it, but yet I also played and enjoyed wo long and that had pronouns as well. This reaction is over the top, I didn’t even act like this when I saw pronouns.

Bro- it’s literally one option in character creator, and you’re going to stop playing an entire game because of it? That’s honestly pretty sad, and maybe video games aren’t for you.

It doesn’t matter. It is a principled argument and you won’t understand that when you are have resigned yourself to grabbing your ankles every time some company sounds the bell. Like many aloof consumer-types It’s apathy that drives your worldview not character or truth.

Just admit you’re a pussy and move on

This person could’ve just chosen their pronouns and kept going. It didnt push an ideology, it literally only made it inclusive for everyone. This person could’ve just chosen the pronouns they associate with and kept it pushing. Its not that they doesn’t want ideology pushed on them. they genuinely just don’t want people that don’t subscribe to their ideologies to feel included… fun stuff

Inclusive means you are a loser

he has a point though. it wasn’t needed. why was it added? you’re introduced to so many characters and at not one point do they tell you what their pronouns are so why are you having to choose yours?

because sometimes characters will refer to you by your pronouns. are you fucking stupid? what kind of fucking loser flips out over being able to choose pronouns. just choose your fucking pronouns sissy. we all have em wether youre gay or not dumbass.

Sargon of Akkad writes a thesis on this topic

It’s not really about the pronouns. Pronouns are just a symptom of the pervasive, corrupting force of “social justice” continuing to humiliate white men for the crime of being white men. Its everywhere in the real world, and now it’s in his escapism, which he paid good money for. Why should he not be angry? The entire philosophy is built on a series of lies and requires us all to commit to its lies or face punishment. We are supposed to clap for men winning women’s sports, approve of diversity hires who put people’s lives at risk, and believe the media when they tell us white men are the most dangerous group in our countries. The agenda is not incidentally aimed against white men. It is openly prejudicial and explicitly targets and demonises them every single day from the most powerful pulpits in our societies. An evil will has infused itself across our civilisation and it demands we recognise it as good. Every day in every way we are lied to by people who know we know they are lying, and yet they feign outrage and turn us into pariahs if we speak up and say that they’re lying. Its unbearable and they expect us to pay for the privilege. That’s why heelvsbabyface is angry, and I don’t blame him.

It’s all about power and the ability to use their fetishes to get society to reject reality

this weird british guy losing his mind over selecting pronouns in starfield is the perfect demonstration for why we must bring back lobotomies

I really wish this Turkish guy would stop being a pussy so that we can all watch Sam Hyde cave his head in.
