I think the thing that is so weird about all of this is that the people who are getting all up in arms about things like this aren’t actually upset. They’ve just been told to be upset by some YouTube weirdos and a disgraced, Kermit the Frog sounding professor.
I just refer to everyone by their class, way too much work to actually look at their character to figure out what to call them
Now thats uncalled for and flat out rude
Kermit does not deserve the disrespect of being connected to that thing
But you should be apathetic. People with male parts who think they are female should not bother anyone. People need to get over themselves. You (not you) are not the main character. Guess how many times I’m gonna be thinking or even focusing on whether my M+ tank is a he/she? 0 Idc cus i want fat loot, not the knowledge that they are behaving according to XX or XY
Lol. Lmao even.
You can mess with society all you want, but the one thing you people can never change is how hardcoded human biology has worked since the species first evolved. The real irony is you people love to call the other side science deniers.
I know it’s crazy some people aren’t so insecure they have to try to others to conform to them in order to feel better about their insecurities.
Regardless of what you believe on this topic don’t you think you should be respectful to people when personally engaging with them? I think so.
Haha you’re adorable
Hello, Based department?
If I refer to male or female I don’t mean to make someone upset. That’s simply just how I refer to people in game. They can be upset and that’s fine but I’m not gonna go “watch me make this loser feel bad” everyone’s got their own beliefs and that’s fine but not everyone should be forced to conform to that just to help the 1% feel better. Or just be respectful about it and I’d have no problem changing what I say for someone I play with on a daily basis. If some rando gets mad about it that isn’t my problem.
Looks good. More customisation is always nice, but it will definitely trigger people who love to be triggered.
Not sure what this is even referencing?
Honestly never once referred to a person or avatar as male or female in my life.
“what are those males doing over there. I dunno let’s go hangout with the females” - weird
“What is that male doing over there” - also strange
“What are they doing?” - referring to a person you don’t know - normal, common useage
“How are they?” - referring to someone you know - common usage.
A lot of language is already gender neuter. I’ve just fallen back to using they/them for the most part. Not a single person has been offended by me doing that either. Curious.
And you dont have to. But at the time no one is obliged to listen to you and thankfully unlikely the real world can choose to permanently ignore whatever you have to say.
Honestly, this might be a win. Maybe we can filter out guild applications based on whether or not they chose They/Them. Prevents a lot of guild drama in the future to have some filters LOL.
Lmao already planning how to exclude people based on politics
And you people claim to be so upset about it being in game
To me, it’s not about conforming it’s just about respect when directly talking to someone. That doesn’t mean you accept their ideology or believes. What you say when you’re not around them is up to you.
I’m gonna clue you in on something but most people who use different pronouns don’t give a fig what randos think either. I know several nonbinary people and they don’t bother correcting people in stores or whatever. It’s just not worth the effort.
If you’d actually use the right pronouns when someone you deal with regularly requests it then you’re already doing it right, no changes necessary. Good on you.
hard to explain mechanics to someone who doesn’t even want to have an honest conversation and stops listening when you say the wrong pronouns
I got an idea, just don’t support the delusion and ignore people who want you to use compelled language.
lol acting like your a better person because you allow someone to tell you what to do and expecting everyone else to comply. YIKES
