Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.
Oh no… the biggest assholes in the universe are threatening to avoid these games… whatever will we do? Who is going to call people racial slurs over multiplayer now?
SF is single player only.
Yeah Ok, but there are message boards and mod communities and social media. Anytime bigots voluntarily remove themselves from the conversation is a win.
They don’t though. Look at the Steam forums. Lots of accounts not owning the game are pushing their garbage rage bait every day.
Saw some steam discussions about Homefront: The Revolution (was only interested in it for the TimeSplitters 2 rom in the game) about how people think this is exactly how China will invade the US. I’m sitting here like “…no.”
For now. It’s possible it can go multiplayer though like Skyrim and Morrowind through 3rd party apps/mods. I currently host a for fun pop up multiplayer Morrowind server using tes3mp. Skyrim has a similar 4 person co-op mod.
Not the way it is relevant for the point he was trying to make.
Oh no! Developers will have to choose between catering to bigots and catering to literally everyone else! What ever will they do?!?
Seriously, I hope bigots continue to just remove themselves from all aspects of society.
If the bigots would remove themselves from the voting booth that would be awesome. Is there some way we can link voting to being open minded?
Get voting sheets to list the candidates’ pronouns and the problem will immediately resolve itself.
In the voting booth, you can pick male, female and other.
I went to a comedy show in a somewhat “progressive” red area last night and the comic made a joke about pronouns (not in a negative light) but as soon as he mentioned pronouns pretty much the whole audience started booing at pronouns. It was pretty sad to see.
I genuinely cannot understand why anyone gets hot and bothered over pronouns. It’s crazy. They’re crazy people.
Because rather than have empathy for others and realize how their actions might affect others, they’d rather focus solely on themselves and make everything about them and how they’re inconvenienced.
it’d make some amount of sense if they were actually inconvenienced but i’m still not understanding the inconvenience tbh
It goes against their view that everybody is “normal” like them (white, cisgender, etc.)
It makes them have to remember things about people rather than assume based on their appearance.
Because the american education system failed them and they don’t even know what pronouns are, they just know that someone told them that they have to hate it with a passion.
Stops them hating the late-stage capitalist society which is what’s ACTUALLY causing them grief
They’re
OMG that’s a pronoun!
Most of those people are unable to identify a pronoun in a sentence.
They can’t understand it and their brains are small enough that not being able to understand something makes them mad.
Subscribe to some conservative YouTube channels or Instagram accounts. Pronouns, LGBTQ, racec etc. are brought up and criticized CONSTANTLY.

Conservatives do excel at being outraged over nothing so this makes sense.
Who gives a shit?
Good. Less jerks then.
You’d think so, but weirdly enough, conservative “boycotting” more often than not seems to include buying and engaging with the things they claim they’re not using.

They deliberately make their world a darker place and then complain about how dark the world is.
Pronouns, body types, “replaced white people”, female leaders, etc. - all part of the daily threads I’ve seen on the Steam forums.
Some of the dumbest people I’ve ever encountered are present on steam communities and comment sections.
Not enough white people in space!!!
I think this is what conservatives call “virtue signaling”.
They already gave up a few days after release when the initial troll rush got bored. They usually aren’t the ones actually playing the game, they’re absolute loser fragile snowflakes.
I’d it wasn’t a problem in call of duty shoot a man when Richard Nixon respected our pronouns it isn’t an issue now. They just hate whatever they’re told to.
What a bunch of fucking snowflakes.
I’m only somewhat aware of the Starfield issue, but this headline is raw clickbait.
All because some fat man baby shat his/their depends.
If you look at his previous track record, he specialized in making fake outrage videos for attention in the World of Warcraft scene
