Article by 404 Media: The mod repository Nexus Mods removed a mod that allowed bigots to circumvent pronoun selection in the character creator of "Starfield". The bigots then pretended to be very outraged.
Personally I am convinced that 99% of that is just performative. They know it's bullshit to get angry about pronouns, but they do it because it generates attention and serves as a anti-LGBT+ dog whistle.
They have always been like this. As they say: "It's always projection."
The right-wingers assume that other people behave the same way they do, but more often than not people simply don't.
Years ago during GamerGate, it was the same shit: They'd cry about collusion, bribery and worse and when you poked into it, there was nothing to it. It was all conjecture. deliberate misrepresentation of events and fake outrage.
That's how it starts, first you play videos games, then next you start wearing knee high socks. They should start prepping a funeral for their soon to be dead name.
And yet they're the ones who would almost definitely call trans people weak or another pejorative of that meaning. Yknow, the trans people that face violence and oppression for just existing.
Like fr these are the people who came up with snowflake they're ridiculous.
They are inherently weaklings. That's why they think being weak is such a shame, because they are so ashamed of it.
They have in many cases been forced to sacrifice parts of themselves to be a "more effective" person, these are also things they hate that they ever had/felt.
The lgbtq+ community spits in the face of that by being proud of traits that are generally reviled. Seeing this enrages the Reich wankers because they were courting a transition or were just I don't know, too into model trains? Or any of a million things that people looking for an excuse to exert superiority over can exploit.
This what they hate the most because they didn't do it, already chose the wrong side and sunk their costs. The idea that that behaviour is even more vile than the immorality it polices has this been dubbed "cancel culture"
I saw it when creating my character then completely forgot. Only remembered it was there when the fragile tantrum monkeys started having shitfit meltdowns over it. Fucking sad, literally changes NOTHING in the game.
