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.
It’s just hilarious to me that these snowflakes are so triggered (remember when they made fun of liberals for that?) by the mere option to change your pronouns that has absolutely zero impact on the game. You can entirely ignore the feature if you want.
Let them be angry and make fun of them when they do, they deserve the ridicule.
They still call liberals fragile snowflakes. Cognitive dissonance has never been an obstacle.
I don’t mind being called a snowflake, snowflakes are fucking cool geometric nature crystals and each one is unique. It never fails to make me smirk though being essentially called thin-skinned by someone who is quite clearly exceptionally thin-skinned.
Everyone has to think like them. Everyone has to act like them. Any deviation from what they consider the norm is bad and evil and must be avoided.
You know that’s what they think about you and your pronouns being “forced” on them right? It’s hard to reconcile.
I don’t know if anyone knows this, but the Steam forum moderators are pretty far right as well. I’m currently banned for mentioning Nexus mods, in a 100 page thread about the site itself. The conservative attacking pronouns and free speech, are not banned. You can find plenty of threads with conservative alt-right talking points about pronouns and anti-transgenderism, including insulting and degrading behavior. These threads stay up. Meanwhile, myself and others who defend trans activism, are banned. I appealed the ban, and get no replies from any moderator over multiple days. It’s fucking disgusting how the site is being moderated. I’ll post the ban reason and what I said, below:
“Nexus only bans mods made for bigots They don’t want to support any content that promotes bigotry and allows people to pretend certain marginalized groups don’t exist. Trans people are part of the game, and anyone trying to erase them is acting on bigotry. You are perfectly free to mod the game yourself or get the mod elsewhere. You just can’t get it from nexus mods.”
Ban Reason: This post contains material that promotes software piracy. cheats, or exploits. This type of content is not allowed on the Steam Community.
Lol I cannot express how little I care about which random thing our reactionary hyperconservatives have decided they need to boycott this week
I mean, liberals boycotted Hogwarts Legacy because of J.K. Rowling (which was not even involved in the development). It seems to me that people just like boycotting stuff in general
