Pronouns always were and are a red flag and the first example of someone who is easily led like a sheep at best, or a virtue signaling performative snake using them for opportunity. Literally everything with these people is out of the same playbook from doubling down to performative bullshit laced with moral superiority.
Gotta love all the handwavers/gaslighters posting in this thread and many others revealing the brainrot across western studios getting proven wrong time and time again. They know full well what the deal is, but are working overtime to distract anything from the fact western studios are compromised to their core with people just like the latest example here.
Some greatest hits from the Narcissist album
"it's just a character creator"
"it's just pronouns "
"its just top scars"
"why do you care"
"maybe this game isn't for you"
"oh you're posting information from *That* guy again, don't you know they did XYZ"
"the rumors aren't true, it's just a way for these grifters to make money"
How it's going for the handwavers
Day 1 - It's just pronouns, this doesn't mean anything, I'm not going to let one detail in a character creator sway me (yeah that whole dragon age thing didn't pan out though did it? Oh well, just pretend that didn't happen)
Day 2 - Alright, by his own admission he's just a racist with a white savior complex who also happens to be promoting ageism.... (not a good look but must continue diverting discussion to other details)
Day 3 - Ok well he doesn't represent the entire company, surely they will fire someone like this? (Hmm, no he still has a job - could it possibly be that the rumors were true and that the entire company culture may* just support this type of person and thinking?)
"Well, all this information aside I'll continue to handwave here, and the next time it happens, and the next"
I'd imagine there are people who are absolutely held hostage across so many studios, who have to stay silent as they watch years of their work burn up before their eyes , all because they are permiated with self hating, narcissistic, virtue signaling fools.
