    racist-lorry-driver — “Fuck you, falling into a world and just getting lost! No, no, no! Current-fucking-day! You take everything we love — all our immersions, all our fantasies, all our escapism — and you can’t help shovel your dogshit, fucking-crap ideology into everything!”

    de-half-light — He won’t fucking shut up. Knock him out.

    de-empathy [Challenging: Success] — The wavering of his voice, the tears dewing in his eyes, the erupting tantrum; he isn’t acting like the usual grifters you’ve seen. He believes this. Video games are the only thing that he has. You can see before you the faded afterimage of a friendless little boy, kneeling alone in a patch of playground grass and clover. He’s been this way forever.

    de-authority — Don’t go soft on a display this pathetic. Make an example out of him. His little computer-buddies need to be too ashamed to agree with him in the open.

    My man’s complaining about being constantly taken out of the immersion

    Oh, is it asking your pronouns every time you enter a new planet? Every time you boot up the game? Every time you’re introduced to a new character? Yeah, wow, that’s so excessive

    Wait, what’s that, only during the character creation screen and then never again?

    Has your brain been eaten by maggots?

      Dumb question but wouldn’t the game using your preferred pronouns actually add to the immersion?

      Like I guess I play games differently because it doesn’t bother me if I play a boy or girl character but if you are so hung up on the game asking your pronouns it seems like that’s the kind of person that would WANT the game to call them by their pronouns.

        Yeah, of course.

        He’s not actually upset about “immersion”. He is upset because to him, this is a reminder that his side is “losing the culture war” as he feels. That the natural hierarchy, that right-wing ideology is based upon, is being disrupted because those at the bottom of the totem pole are being acknowledged as members of society on the same level as him. This kind of thing is unnatural and unacceptable to chuds.

    he got owned by a trans npc later and it fucking rocks. these dudes are so fucking frothy and stupid it’s awesome. on the one hand screaming about immersion and treaterinos and on the other hand failing to recognize that any reasonable future society is going to have a lot more options than just gender affirming surgeries and hrt

    Fun fact: this is what virtue signalling actually looks like.

    Whatever Mr Shouty divorced man actually thinks, he’s not acting like this because he cares that much about pronouns but for the approval of his garbage audience.

      If the game was absolute dogshit I could see being annoyed by features that seem pointless. If the core of a game is shit, spending money on QoL features for small demographics seems ridiculous. Make solid mod tools and a solid game and it’ll get sorted anyway.

        “Small demographics” like… women.

        This isn’t just for trans people.

        Hell even as a cis man I might want to play a woman, and I’d sure not want my immersion broken by other characters calling my female character “he” if I did so. Like its a roleplaying game, its cool to let me play a role.
