I bet there was a whole group of people that were really upset when they put a checkbox for female on legal documents. "The woke mind virus thinks women can take care of themselves and should have rights"

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Something like that, actually. Women, Race, and Class by Angela Y. Davis is a fascinating read on the subject.

cw for transphobia please

[-] LiberalScratcher@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

I wanna make a popular video game with the most robust character creation anyone has ever seen but it will not let you make a standard white guy.

[-] Comp4@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I unironically thought about it. Should I ever make a game Im gonna make white people dlc. Like If you wanna be a cracker at least pay for your white privilege.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Something like the South Park difficulty slider?

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Genuinely can't imagine being mad about this part of character creation when the more pressing issue for if you are a big gamer who care about video games, is that the game doesn't let you pick your own skills.

they killed the skill/feat system years ago. skyrim was the Tiktaalik between real RPGs and whatever the fuck fallout 4 is.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

No no its way dumber than that, there are some form of skills in the game still, but they are assigned in fixed sets of 3 to the various "backgrounds" of the game, and there is no options to change what skills each of these sets have, even the blank slate background has 3 fixed skills.

unlike you snowflakes I don't care about pronouns

spends an excessive amount of time and effort whining about pronouns instead of using/selecting/etc a pronoun, which takes no more than 3 seconds

Its been sooo long since I've seen another lemmy.one native in the wild ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‘‹

[-] axont@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

This is a really cute moment and I'm glad to see it

Yeah I tend to stick to my subscriptions or home, and lurk everything.

I can't see what that image is on my instance, but if it's a thumbs up emoji, then

Non-binary existing in biology for billions of years before sex even evolved

What a fad!

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I mean any asexually reproducing organism isn't smart enough to have a gender tbh. And gender โ‰  sex, but you already knew that

Yes, you're correct, of course. I'm mostly just pointing out that none of this is new.

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Of course. There's a variety of cultures that have had a third gender to pick from that show it's not new.

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

the real crime in that UI is that everything is just a shitty number and i have to slowly look at each position on the fucking slider bar and then try to remember what position the eye or hair color i liked was

[-] hotwarioinyourarea@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

It's like when I went away from school for a week on holiday. I came back and everyone had yo-yos and I was like "damn. Everyone's got yo-yos" but now I went back to Baldies Gate after 25 years and I was like "damn. Everyone's got pronouns"

[-] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Every time Gamers(tm) rant about pronoun options I turn on the communist mind virus nanobots to convince another western game dev to make their game woke. (Because communism is when you add a single dropdown menu at the start of the game)

[-] beautiful_boater@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Trans people and Obama created gender in 2016 to distract Trump from draining the swamp. Gender expression didn't exist before then and is purely a Marxist-Democratist creation.

[-] EpicKebabEater@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It's true, billionares are paying me thousands to be trans so they can sell more bathrooms and pronouns.

[-] VernetheJules@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I want realism and more character customization options so-true

Not like that frothingfash

[-] Sinister@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I think a lot of devs have realized that the white guy conservative outrage machine can be very profitable, for free advertisements!
