Hasnt datamined results show you will still pick your pronoun/gender?
Not that your pronouns are basically EVER referenced in game.
So once again. People are complaining basically only about the character customization screen, one they won’t even see if they don’t make another character going forward, and just play with their current guys.
And if they do see it, will take about about 3 seconds of their time?
I am a transwoman, been out since 2013. I stand firmly against this BS from Blizzard. Way to jump on the TRA bandwagon. I wanted to like DF, I truly did but this is going to make me reconsider staying subscribed. If I wanted to hear TRAs screech about “did you just assume my gender” I would go to Twitter. This isn’t about inclusion but pandering to the lowest common denominator in the trans community. Give me a game with solid mechanics and story first before trying to mix and match body types with voices.
If you all don’t believe me I will provide my Twitter handle, I get enough TRAs wishing death or worse on me already so what would be a few more from a Blizzard forum.
Notice the people not supporting the change don’t actually make an argument. Just “I dont like it and i refuse to acknowledge how this wont really effect me”
TRAs don’t want inclusion they want a special status above everyone else. They scream the loudest but make no effort “I just feel like a woman”. What does this add to a game thats been struggling for a few expansions now, you get in on the fender ideology. This is what has us in the trans community worried that only TRA voices are being heard. And yes I’m vocal about this because those of us who disagree with the TRAs need to speak up that this is not okay.
Just another way to fetishize the trans experience. It’s funny though you will get the large bearded models with a female voice… so typical TRA demands to be considered a woman but makes no attempt to do so.
I believe you, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that. I’ve had my posting privileges suspended for linking something that identified who I was to prove a point.
It’s a harmless change. It doesn’t hurt cis people like myself, and helps non-cis people who also play this game.
But at the end of the day, it’s not so big a deal as to throw a tantrum about it. No one asked for this change, but most of us recognize it as a good change at best, and a completely ignorable change at worst. I think most of us are responding because we’re absolutely flabbergasted that people like you are throwing such a fit about it.
How is this a “religious cult?” It’s LITERALLY text on a pair of buttons.
