Its funny hearing "You wouldn't survive a COD Lobby" coming from the same group of people who wouldn't survive a 2nd grade english quiz

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world I see where they're coming from.
A circus. They're the clowns.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world next time they should just avoid mentioning your character at all times and see how the same people would be mad that "my character isnt being mentioned!!"

@ioletsgo is it an arbitrary field or just a dropdown with 2-4 options

@ioletsgo I’ll be glad to see these people forswear games over this.

Let the trash take itself out

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world I would refund over it too!! The UX for it was absolute garbage on PC ;3

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world Will this end up like budlight where the boycott did actually effect sales in a way

@ioletsgo the funniest part is that your pronouns are selected automatically with the character you choose, you don’t need to select them yourself
they are not screaming that they need to choose, they are screaming because they can choose

@ioletsgo So, that's about 20 refunds then, at the most.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world if they get offended by he/him I doubt they could survive a cod lobby

@ioletsgo

Piffle, I've GM'd on a proper MMO or two, I've worked customer service for ages, a CoD lobby is easy mode.

Meanwhile, at least one of these goombas broke down in tears on camera when it turned out a Starfield NPC was trans, as though her fictional existence was a terrible personal attack on him.

@theogrin You might like this post I made in preparation of this exact situation wetdry.world/@ioletsgo/1109885

@ioletsgo
All the splendor, wonder, variance and imagination in an infinite multiverse cannot hold a candle to the ridiculous notion that people can transition!

But what else could one expect? These people draw the line at the possibility that a Lord of the Rings elf might not be Caucasian.

@theogrin they all have such thin viewpoints of the world. If you ever actually read 1984 you know that all conservatives talk about are the most boring concepts the book brings to the table.

Like, I really like 1984 because its a story about how fragile reality could be under a truly powerful authoritarian power.

@ioletsgo

I like 1984 because it's a potent illustration of a state which is 95% of the way to failure, and so the patent rejection of objective reality is the only way it can cling to the last scraps of power held by The Powers That Be. Oceania is Not a Healthy Nation.

In its appendices, Oceania/IngSoc is referred to in the past tense, so that rejection of the real world didn't exactly give the intended results -- it didn't really change reality. After all, when you demand Reality change its mind, Reality answers 'no', often in ways for which the demander doesn't much care.

@ioletsgo@wetdry.world Might as well boycott 2nd grade quizzes for including pronouns as a whole.
