Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

    I was looking at the Steam forums for Starfield earlier after googling some quest I was on.

    Dear lord are they out in force.

    And the twists and turns they are making to explain why they think the pronouns should be removed from the game without saying it’s because they are easily triggered right wing fucklets is almost impressive.

    And as expected, quite a few phrased as “as a libtard, even I think this should be removed for xyz retarded reason”.

    And as we all know, any post that starts with “as a POC/WAMAN/RATIONAL PERSON” means some MAGAt jackass trying to be clever.

      It would be so funny if someone made a genuinely fantastic video game, and it starts with picking a gender and all, and then the first cutschene is that person transitioning. It doesn’t matter for the plot and never comes up again in the game, because he or she is now just that. Can you imagine how they would freak the fuck out? I saw that other cunt’s artery explode because there was a screen in starfield that asks you for your gender and you had more than two options.

      “As a black trans man I think there’s too much wokism and POC in this game, and all the females are ugly and shouldn’t be in leadership positions because that’s unrealistic and they also talk back way too much.”
