Yeah I don't really give a fuck about the pronouns in the character creator. Like whatever. Although from what I hear they only have "normal" pronouns as options.

Like am I wrong to think that's boring? If I'm playing a fantasy videogame where I can create some insane gender special character, I want to make some Xenogendered blob with Zoop/Zorp pronouns or some shit for the heck of it.

I don't care much about the pronouns in the character creator, and your idea of being able to do some absurd shit in a non serious game would be amusing.

It was a random NPC conversation that annoyed me more because it derailed what I was doing. Like I just happened to overhear them and thought her friend was telling her to leave a job that treated her poorly as I passed, but then it seemed like a weird way to talk about a company, which was confusing enough to pause and listen. It sounded like they were talking about a romantic relationship so at first I thought that the "they" they were referring to was probably multiple people, like the girl was dating a couple or something since wokies like promoting that sort of thing. Then it finally occurred to me that they were probably talking about a singular they person who is too special to be referred to as a man or woman.

I will give them some points for painting the they/them in a negative light, but it's still kind of irritating that they threw in puzzling conversations for the sake of inclusivity. Or maybe I'm just stupid I dunno.

It would be nice if they non-binaries would pick a unique non-gendered pronoun for themselves as a whole and leave the word "they" to its traditional usage.

Yeah the linguistic confusion is annoying as. Which I think is why this stuff doesn't catch on without people pushing it. Like I personally don't give a fuck if you feel like your own personal Identity doesn't fit neatly into the idea of "woman" or "man" but not giving a fuck means I don't give a fuck if using normal polite language offends your sensibilities either.

They is just confusing since it's the plural.

The issue isn't even that! The issue is someone made a mod that removes them (players should have choices right?) and posted it on nexus mods... only for it to be removed after.

People say pronouns aren't a big deal yet this tells us something else.

I hope nexus mods dies at some point.

They've done the same with mods that remove pride flags or whatever. Someone on the nexus moderation team obviously has an agenda of what they allow or not.

They're smart too. They don't remove the big boobs mods because they know it would kill the website.
