We did ignore it for years. Even embraced it... but then people started losing their jobs and got thrown in jail for not going along with pronouns. We got threatened with laws to take our kids away.This
It’s not going to make you gay or whatever weird fear people maybe having just because one character is not straight.
Acting like the world and realms of the games we play are only filled with straight people is weird. You really need to seek therapy and talk to a psychiatrist if you get this mad over something so minor. I’m being serious, get a grip.
Did ya’ll have a fucking crisis when Harry Potter came out. “We want to own the libs and support the game, but there is a trans character in the game that has the audacity to help the player, what do I do? “
You buy the game and enjoy it. That’s what you do. If you’re letting ONE character ruin a whole game for you, then you have big problems.
Just wanting to know, do you have a source for someone being thrown in jail for not going along with pronouns? That seems ridiculous?We did ignore it for years. Even embraced it... but then people started losing their jobs and got thrown in jail for not going along with pronouns. We got threatened with laws to take our kids away.
So now we do not go along or embrace it .. sorry

The dialogue in this game is insultingly bad. This is some of the worst dialogue I've ever seen/heard in a AAA game.
Nothing makes me feel more immersed in a magical medieval world of dragons like the word 'crappy'.
It just never seems to end. It's as if you're constantly going to be reminded of this gender bureaucracy nonsense throughout this entire game.
It’s actually way worse than I thought it would be.
Social conditioning is not exactly a voluntary act...
No, sexologists are trying to encapsulate an IDEA of behavior and cloak it in some sort of legitimacy by co-opting the term "gender". That approach seems to have worked a little better than just using "masculine" and "feminine" or inventing a new term. There are only TWO sexes. There are only TWO genders. The biology underpinning both is immutable. There is no science, certainly no "hard" science about this topic, just folks opining to a round of golf claps as they do performative speeches. And you can see this in game, with the tedious dialogue trees around this topic that would be getting universally DESTROYED if it were about any other issue. Just imagine if this Taash character came from a culture that dedicated themselves to the spear. It was their technique for hunting, for combat, their entire culture was built around use of the spear and they even had a deity for it. Then this Taash character just really loved the bow but went on and on about and wanted constant validation for their choice of wanting to use the bow instead of the spear and even insisted everyone address them as "Archer" instead of "spearman". Seems like bad writing, doesn't it? You COULD make an interesting character that didn't conform to their cultures expectations (see how I properly used a plural pronoun with a singular noun?) and how that caused issues, hell the "Ugly Duckling" fable is LITERALLY that, but bad writing ruins it and should be called out as such.
That's all the writing in this game from what I've seen. Rook acts like a preschool teacher, and the other characters are toddlers who need to be taught how to behave.
Fucking embarrassingly cringey, preachy pre school, total bollocks.
She was arrested for trolling and persistent harassment. The mis-gendering was just part of it, but not the charges.Quick google will show it happened more than once and laws have been passed to do so in multiple countries.

Indeed. The game publishers are their pimps at this point. Hopefully they are doing irreparable damage to their credibility over time like the mainstream media in USA, UK, Europe, Australia etc. Hopefully more and more people realise.But those "professional" shills said it was "well written."
To make sure no straight male finds them attractive ofc, gotta avoid that infamous male gaze xD

for a game that's all about fweelings and relationships, its cringe as fuck considering they all look like Pixar characters.. how can you possibly take this shit seriously with that writing let alone the graphics
It's beyond a joke at this point. The usual folk will still defend this saying "Just ignore it" etc but its clear the whole game is absolutely rife with this kind of pish.

Why am I not surprised the writer is a "they/them non binary pansexual" known as "Tricks Weekes".
I actually like how the female Asian elf looks (forgot her name). I thought she'd be the most annoying character too but doesn't seem like it.
