It’s not surprising to me really given that gamers have thrown fits over past games using types instead of ‘female’ or ‘male’ but I guess I just can’t get over how fucking stupid it is to care so much that you download a mod that reverts the text in a character creation menu. The slightest change in language in order to be more welcoming to other players is treated as the downfall of society by these people.

(For context, this is on nexusmods)

      And would remind themselves of this “travesty” of a character creation screen every time they turn the game on and it loads their modlist, instead of just the few times they create a character.

      I think they just want to be angry, but are also lazy. Which is why they always pick the character creation stuff to get mad about. No sense getting mad about a quest 30 hours into the game, that takes effort to get to! But the character creation screen? Even a monkey smashing random buttons could probably reach it no problem.

      …for a game they already paid for!

      And they accuse us of virtue signaling when they are incapable of shutting up about being good little conformists for 10 seconds.
