[CW: transphobia] latest fad

40 comments

cw for transphobia please
I bet there was a whole group of people that were really upset when they put a checkbox for female on legal documents. "The woke mind virus thinks women can take care of themselves and should have rights"
- Something like that, actually. Women, Race, and Class by Angela Y. Davis is a fascinating read on the subject.
  
  The Y. stands for Y the fuck haven't more leftists read Angela Davis
Genuinely can't imagine being mad about this part of character creation when the more pressing issue for if you are a big gamer who care about video games, is that the game doesn't let you pick your own skills.
- they killed the skill/feat system years ago. skyrim was the Tiktaalik between real RPGs and whatever the fuck fallout 4 is.
  
  No no its way dumber than that, there are some form of skills in the game still, but they are assigned in fixed sets of 3 to the various "backgrounds" of the game, and there is no options to change what skills each of these sets have, even the blank slate background has 3 fixed skills.
I wanna make a popular video game with the most robust character creation anyone has ever seen but it will not let you make a standard white guy.
- I unironically thought about it. Should I ever make a game Im gonna make white people dlc. Like If you wanna be a cracker at least pay for your white privilege.
- Something like the South Park difficulty slider?

- Emperor Elagabalus unleashes a fully armed Roman legion into the chat
  
  "I am the wife of my chariot driver" - Elagabalus, who had to be a gay man, since transgenderism wont be invented for millennia.
  
  Cis people with time machine: uhh, I'll give john brown some kalashnikovs, I guess
  
  Trans people with time machine: giving 1000 bottles of estradiol to Elgabalus in exchange for becoming co-empress and using your power to establish world communism 2000 years early
NSFW tag please thanks 👍
It's true, billionares are paying me thousands to be trans so they can sell more bathrooms and pronouns.
It's like when I went away from school for a week on holiday. I came back and everyone had yo-yos and I was like "damn. Everyone's got yo-yos" but now I went back to Baldies Gate after 25 years and I was like "damn. Everyone's got pronouns"

Non-binary existing in biology for billions of years before sex even evolved

What a fad!
- I mean any asexually reproducing organism isn't smart enough to have a gender tbh. And gender ≠ sex, but you already knew that
  
  Yes, you're correct, of course. I'm mostly just pointing out that none of this is new.
the real crime in that UI is that everything is just a shitty number and i have to slowly look at each position on the fucking slider bar and then try to remember what position the eye or hair color i liked was
Every time Gamers(tm) rant about pronoun options I turn on the communist mind virus nanobots to convince another western game dev to make their game woke. (Because communism is when you add a single dropdown menu at the start of the game)
Trans people and Obama created gender in 2016 to distract Trump from draining the swamp. Gender expression didn't exist before then and is purely a Marxist-Democratist creation.
I want realism and more character customization options

Not like that
Checkmark checks out
To be fair, I think a lot of devs have realized that the white guy conservative outrage machine can be very profitable, for free advertisements!
The broke mob isn’t just financially broke.
