      @@PutkisenSeta I appreciate your logic, but planets that immediately kill you as soon as you enter the atmosphere would 100% be reported as bugs and detract from the game.
      It happened with similar features in No Man's Sky; development previously had the day/night cycle be tied to your position on the planet, so flying away from a planet and returning in a different hemisphere would give you different lighting.
      Cool idea, but it had to be removed, because players kept reporting it as a bug with the lighting.

    The funniest part is that the game technically doesn't even ask you for your pronouns. It actually assigns your pronouns automatically based on body type, but gives you the option to change them near the end of character customization. It's something you can miss by accident.

"YEA BUT! you couldn't pick 'they/them' in those games and that corresponds to my narrow outdated view that is also the only correct one without nuance.

      I wrote this analogy for someone else.
      "Alright a guy comes up to me with a box of donuts, tells me I can have one but he will only let me take one once I chose, he hands me a default donut but won't let me take it until I say "yes I chose this donut", he also won't let me leave until I chose.
      Am I forced to choose a donut, yes or no?
      Think next time you make a arugment."
      The game does indeed ask you for your pronouns and it won't allow you to continue until you choose your pronouns, that said it's a meaningless virtual signal as it actually does nothing as the nocs refer to you as the correct pronouns no matter what you chose.

He usually doesn’t do anything but talk about the politics, even though EFAP isn’t supposed to be political at all, which (among certain other things) makes them catch a lot of flak from people, because a lot of people really don’t like rightwing messaging (which I think is an overreaction to it) and the guys that host the show are good people, not wanting to shun their friends for the approval of others.

    The funniest part is apparently it the game defaults to masculine or feminine pronouns based on the body type chosen, so if you're not making a trans or nonbinary character (so 100% of the people crying about this) you never have to interact with that option at all.
    It's like complaining about subtitles or colour blind modes. It is a function in a game to make it more inclusive to a small portion of the population that you never have to deal with at all if you're not in that group.

      as for nature? humans have 'transcended the laws of nature' ever since we became human. we take care of the sick and elderly, the old and the disabled. there's nothing more "fuck you mother nature" than creating a world in which deaf-blind people can live comfortably. there's nothing natural about human culture. human culture is a product of our interactions with each other, and is ultimately influenced by everyone as to how we act, (and how we should act) as a group of people.

    Honestly, it's really ridiculous. As someone who grew up in a traditional family who doesn't really understand or like the whole pronoun or gender thing, I just don't even really have the room to care... like, at all. If you preferred to be called something other than he or she, I'll do that for you, but pertaining to myself, I know who I am, so when I see people getting angry over it, I wonder why they care either. If you know who you are, but are scared of letting people be who they want to be, then what the fuck is wrong with you? No, seriously, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?
    I agree with your opinion on the situation, Kommander. Sorry for you receiving backlash from these authoritarian type people who think every person needs to be a certain way for a good world. It's not freedom to take away peoples rights to be who they want to be, worship who they want to worship, love who they want to love, and it's time we just let it go.

My fear is one side, probably the one people fear the least at this moment will eventually start arresting people who voice an opinion that goes against the mainstream. This is why I will never go far to either side and why I question EVERYTHING. For example, why did Bethesda have to add controversy to a game? Them doing this won't stop gays getting thrown off roof tops in Iran, it won't stop Muslims being forced into slave labor camps in China, and it definitely won't sell them more copies of this game which is all they really should be concerned with.

    I plan on refunding Starfield because it's very clear how much content they've ripped straight from Kommander Karl's videos. It's utterly inexcusable.

    Just for context
    He streamed the game for hours before hitting forced sections of writing to do with a trans clone
    The rant came after that

      Rant wasn't even about -just- pronouns. His rant was about immersion being ruined with ALL of the political things detracting from this supposedly futuristic society with advanced technology. Tbf Az kinda stumbled through when he was listing the things (pronouns, gender ambiguity, and modern day californian shit). Not that if he were more eloquent and organized that people wouldn't clip him so hardly out of context. Whatever supports the message or the message right?

    It's a privilege to be upset over things like this. Not a good day to be a gamer.

      Stop pretending like the alphabet people haven’t been perpetually throwing temper tantrum for years now . Stop being a hypocrite.

    You know what's hilarious? Baldur's Gate 3 never had this kind of outrage despite leaning more into this kind of stuff compared to Starfield.

    Why did these guys not notice that the game judges your first pronouns by your body type, then it only lets you select the pronouns before the customization ends

      this feels like a reverse hogwarts legacy situation where i originally had 0 interest in starfield until i learned that chuds were getting mad about it
