[@glenstortroen1286]

They use it the same way they use woke almost, both are fluid terms with no real definitions from their point of view. This concept actually provides a lot of entertainment, as far right individuals simply can't agree on what they even think those words mean, because it's a "flavor of the week" topic to them. They maintain a strict appeal to emotion and they lack a consistent ideology every time they try to tackle the what the words underlying meanings are. Don't believe me? Just ask any Republican to tell you what 'woke' or 'cancelled' means to them- they all have different answers. And that's the issue. You can't have a serious intellectual conversation with someone that can't accept what it says in a dictionary, encyclopedia or etc- people like that are simply not individuals that were born for learning, reasoning and problem solving.

oh also, you talked about the canadian trans bill thing, and i actually did some research on it at the time basically, it's not that you can be arrested just for disrespecting someones pronouns, it's that if you're already being arrested for criminal harassment, you actively refusing to use someones preferred pronouns can be used as evidence for hateful intent, which can help get someone sent to prison for the harassment charge

[@DeadCanuck]

Exactly (Canuck here too). Like, if a person is discriminating against another because they’re black, and it’s provably (or even just obvious) shown that the discrimination is because of skin colour, the discriminated party can press charges.

[@WillcraftAnimations]

Back in 2016-ish, I like a lot of people had a hateboner for SJW stuff that I later realized was kinda silly and overblown. Even with that in mind, remembering roughly the kind of mindset this dude must be in, I truly cannot fathom how someone gets this upset about something like this. Even during the most intense part of my anti-SJW phase I just treated it like an insignificant symptom of a much larger issue, and I was more interested in stuff like censorship, human rights violations and the like. And mind you, I saw games where you can type in CUSTOM pronouns, which might just have given this guy rage-induced cardiac arrest. What I'm saying is that if you truly believe that there is some awful political agenda that's going to take away your rights and identity and whatever else you're scared of, why is THIS what causes the big freakout? You can say "straw that broke the camel's back" all you want, this has been a thing in mainstream games for almost a decade now so you should be used to it. Not to mention that, oh I don't know, the world is full of death, human rights violations, and all manner of horrific stuff that probably should have broken the camel's back before this. I know he can't acknowledge stuff like hate crimes for ideological reasons, but there's still plenty of better things to be upset about for someone of his leanings. It comes off to me as someone who just lives an insular life consuming media and not really interacting much with the real world, where the biggest inconvenience in your life is apparently being asked to give basic respect to people you probably won't even interact with anyway. It's so weirdly common for people to want to be bold political activists at the frontlines of some culture war while also refusing to do anything more than watch TV and play video games and then complain about not agreeing with its politics online. You're not a warrior, you're not doing anything, you're just some whiny dork. As should be obvious from the fact that your "side" has been losing the "culture war" since it "started". This is actually one thing that got me out of my anti-SJW phase. I realized that no matter how upset I was, it wasn't going to change anything. And I had bigger priorities than devoting myself to a life of activism that may have some impact, so I just decided to chill out and see where things go. If I didn't like it, too bad, there have always been plenty of things I don't like about the world. I'd object to things or support them when I thought they mattered, but that full-time hypersensitivity mode was exhausting and fruitless. I think it would be great for these people's mental health to try the same thing. Politics makes you dumb and stressed, and if you're not gonna engage with it in a productive way anyway, might as well disengage. At least a little bit. Also, while I still am not particularly fond of custom pronouns for linguistic reasons (he/she/they should be enough for anyone and adding more is just confusing and superfluous as far as I'm concerned, and personally I'd rather move on to just having ONE set of pronouns for all people rather than adding more), I consider it an absolute non-issue since I have legitimately never met anyone who actually does that. I haven't seen the "ze" thing in years and I think I might have seen one or two "hir" online ever, and that's it. So you can't even really argue that adding that option into a game is a "reflection of a greater issue", because unless I've just missed something, it's really not on any level. And not only can you just ignore that feature if you don't like it, but you can also just use it to immaturely give yourself joke pronouns for the fun of it. It's still a feature, not the absence of one, so as long as it doesn't get in the way (which it doesn't), I'm not complaining. I know this is lengthy and largely pointless, the video just provoked some thoughts that have been largely dormant in my head for a while and I had nothing better to do than write them out. There's just something weirdly fascinating about seeing people older than me acting in ways I did as a teenager, but taken to confusing extremes. Talking points I thought were debunked long ago, logical fallacies I thought nobody used anymore, all manner of stuff showcased in this very video. I have that Dunning Krueger effect thing where I assume that if I've figured something out, realistically anyone else should have it figured out by the time they're my age, possibly sooner since my reasons for figuring it out might be accessible to them before they were to me. Yet I keep seeing full-grown adults who are just kinda spinning their brain-wheels in the mud acting like actual children, and it baffles and saddens me.

[@chelscara]

The best (saddest) part is there is no “forced” anything. An option has been added. You never have to use it or interact with those that do. But it exists, so face reddening throat scratching rage is the response. Hilariously depressing.

I remember someone in a char I was in trying to debate that "i dont understand including a pronouns option and i'm mainly indifferent" while pulling every excuse out of their ass to exclude them. Some gems include "NPCs rarely use your pronouns so why bother?" "NPCs tend to be voiceacted nowadays, therefore a pronouns option would cause file bloat because of multiple takes" "The character creator suite already sucks so why bother? I mean, you only tend to have 4 facial structure options so what good are the pronouns?" "I only like character customization that has a tangible effect on gameplay" "I just dont understand the obsession, the immense praise and immense hate" (lovely "great people on both sides" that one is) "I'd rather have a really shallow CCS that has gameplay effects based on my selection than a CCS with options I don't understand what they're for" All the while reitterating how much they tend to just ignore that sorta thing while being presented with why their arguements don't really water and why people would enjoy having the option to select pronouns in an rpg, but once they ran out of bs, they basically rage quit the convo with a "agree to disagree" that you could feel them seething behind.

I can't imagine how this guy felt when Professor Oak asked the players if they're a boy or a girl.

[@carter_lovejoy]

If someone pointed out to him that he’s actually using pronouns like he, she and/or they in his rant, he’d probably suffer through a major stroke.

[@AH-vm8yo]

That choice is quite binary. Chuds like him want binary they agree with boy or girl. If Oak asked for pronouns or asked are you a boy, girl or NB then they'd have a meltdown.

There’s an alternate universe out there where Starfield doesn’t let you choose your pronouns and refers to you as “she/her” the entire game, and this guy threw an even bigger shit-fit about the game making you play as a woman.

The last bit of this video actually made me deeply sad. This guy, and people like him are all just going to stay miserable and filled with hate until they die, without having learned or developed past their flawed ways of thinking.

[@inefffable]

Anger management would honestly be very useful here. I feel like learning how to navigate these intense emotions generally will help when they're dealing with these emotional and ideological responses. Maybe learn to slow down and look at things from a different perspective. I hope so, cuz I agree, it's sad to see so many people living like this. That not even mentioning the countless people who they negatively impact throughout their years.

[@vest816]

Agreed. I was originally thinking this guy was doing a bit, or just rage-baiting. He decides to play the algorithm for the KZbin "intellectuals" in Middle School, and takes it to a level where nobody would think he's being serious. "Yeah he goes a bit overboard, the joke gets played out, but he's just doing a bit, that's all....right?" But after seeing him double, triple, quadruple down on this take, make a lengthy follow-up video to address his infamous 30 seconds of lunacy, and clarify it to the point where there is no longer any nuance or misinterpretation of his beliefs...ya know, I lost a lot of enjoyment rippin' on this guy. It was funny until you realize this man is dead serious, and realize that his beliefs have warped his reality so hard that he unironically posts Wojack memes, caricatures that look literally exactly like him, as ways to accuse others of behaving exactly like he does. I don't know how he looked at any Wojack meme and thought "good thing that's not me there." But then I read the comments on his KZbin video, and it all makes sense. If this was the mid-2000's and I saw those comments, I would've thought it was hilarious seeing so many people coordinate for the lulz. Wouldn't be the first time Internet denizens banded together to encourage a mentally unhinged maniac to delve further into their madness. Make this guy the next Chris-Chan. But there's a certain subtlety to that kind of malicious positivity. A certain wink and nod with each remark. I'm not seeing it in these comments. These people ain't trolling. These are people who have become as indoctrinated and stupid as he is, and as a former participant in these early/mid-2000's trolling campaigns, there wouldn't be enough of us flippant bastards to give him these kinds of numbers. It's a sad reality. We really are living in the age of a stupidity epidemic.

I mean to be fair he's probably going to die way before any of us so long as you don't have stage 4 cancer or something. Most of the anti-wokes will, this is how Darwinism works.

I'm not calling anyone involved in this nonsense a racist but I can't help but imagine an alternate timeline where games like this existed during desegregation in the US and picturing the inevitable surge of butthurt losers flipping their shit over the game having an option for you to play as a black character. "WHY DO THESE FUCKING GAME COMPANIES HAVE TO CURRENT YEAR US BY FORCING THEIR POLITICAL OPINIONS INTO THE GAME AND GIVING ME THE OPTION TO BE NON WHITE OR INCLUDING THEM IN POSITIONS OF POWER IN THE GAME??? REEEEEEEEEE! WHAT ABOUT MY DESPERATE NEED FOR ESCAPISM TO A WORLD WHERE THEY ARE STILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGED AS PEOPLE?!!! Hey guys calm down! A man can't have an opinion on the internet?"

His video has less dislikes than this video. It has nearly 4k uplikes compared with this one at 2.7k. His follow up where he explains his rant in more detail has a lot more dislikes. 5.7k. It... also has 34k upvotes. Rant could have been better, but it was mostly spot on. His mistake was not refunding immediately when he saw the pronouns in character creation. That's actually where a lot of his blowback is coming from. Not being against pronouns, but continuing to play the game. Me? I stopped watching the video when I saw the pronouns. He streamed multiple 5+ hour long streams of it. You're... actually the minority. Most people don't like it... they just want to get along so they don't speak up against the stupidity of it.

These videos came out when I was already 20, but my brain apparently did not have the nuance to understand that I can like something that has some sexist problems, and that does not make me sexist, even though those videos literally pointed that out, even that the developers are most likely not malicious, but just follow a problematic trope. I was apparently also still very sensitive to just believing the lies of someone who just manages to come off vaguely knowledgable. "Be critical of the media you love" are words I still remember feeling attacked by, it's now something I absolutely live by. I'm seriously wondering to what extent my critical thinking has indirectly been influenced by Anita Sarkeesian.

Like, at it's very most basic barebones level, the game is just asking "What would you like to be called?" as in general politeness, like being introduced to a new person. Even that is too extreme for these manbabies to get over.
