More like being very disappointed. I watch this youtuber that makes some fun trailers of different genres out of movies, and I felt my heart breaking when she posted a new video that use the Harry Potter movies and she had to put that disclaimer "I don't agree with Rowling! TWAW!", and reading the stupidity in the comments... I'm still subscribed, but I don't feel like I enjoy watching her videos that much anymore, especially the HP ones.

I'm also into interactive fiction and there are so many games with non binary options or token enby characters that are just there because "inclusive" policies.. so there's some pressure, even if people won't admit. The authors probably think it's not a big deal, just change pronouns here and there. Some put short descriptions like "I wear what I want, don't care about gender norms" or "I don't look like what people expect a man/woman to look like", and that's the choice for making your character non binary. First time I saw this I thought the authors were portraying gnc protagonists.. nope.

It's sad because a lot of young people play these games, so if they choose these options, the game just identifies them as non binary.. and I have seen a few people saying they realized they're enby because of certain games. It's heartbreaking.
