Brb, starting on HRT so I can regain my 2nd Amendment right.
- Gives a whole new meaning to the word "deadname"
  
  Be gay, do crime.

  The Pink Pistols are an LGBTQ gun rights organization in the United States and Canada. Their motto is "Pick on someone your own caliber".[1]
  Pink Pistols enrollment up.
I'm vaguely curious what gets re-initialized by changing gender to fix this.
- Apparently it's nothing to do with changing the gender, only opening the character creation screen. So you can open that screen and then just close it, and it should work again. Weird bug though!
  
  The article says that the console command to swap genders also works.
  I haven't experienced it so I have no clue.
  
  This is why you don't use global variables, kids!
- If starfield works like every other Bethesda game, the game can't actually change the gender directly, it instead remakes your entire character, which will reset whatever is causing the bug
  
  Prgramng!
- I had a bug caused by the shipselling bug where each time I went through a load screen my gender and appearance randomized. So I can't even begin to guess how all the noodles are connected.
man that bald english dude has to be losing his damn mind rn
- Poor Vin Diesel
- That baby face or something like that
Bethesda. Bethesda never changes. But seriously this has to be one of the odder bugs I've seen in a Bethesda game.
Oh that's not going to cause any conspiracy theories at all lol!
- The article links to a story about some YouTubers who went on a rant about the optional pronoun feature, so yeah, I could absolutely see this getting blown out of proportion.
So animations get fucked up, and you can fix them with racemenu? Sounds about right, anyone with loverslab experience could tell you that.
- Loverslab Starfield confirmed
  
  You jest, but it has an entire section dedicated to it. And just look at the size of this thread. https://www.loverslab.com/topic/217203-sex-mod-framework-development-discussion/
Confusing your rifle for your gun, again, men?
lifts weapon this is my rifle.
Grabs crotch this is my gun.
One is for fighting, the other's for fun.
Cyberpunk had a bug where you couldn't draw weapons or something similar.
The fix was to pay a hooker.
I bet Trudeau mandated this feature!
