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.

      I’m not assuming that. I’m giving this person a possible reason that people who identify as conservative get lumped together in online discourse, despite the fact that they probably don’t deserve to be lumped together.

      Although if I’m being honest this overall topic is about “conservatives boycotting Starfield over pronoun usage”, which I think does give the entire conversation a bit of a US slant. Again, my comment in no way made any assumptions about this user, just trying to give some explanation of why things end up discussed the way they are. But even if I did make that assumption I think given the other context of the thread I could be forgiven. Unless there are idiots in other countries getting their panties in a bunch over pronoun usage as well, which I sincerely hope there are not.
