My man’s complaining about being constantly taken out of the immersion
Oh, is it asking your pronouns every time you enter a new planet? Every time you boot up the game? Every time you’re introduced to a new character? Yeah, wow, that’s so excessive
Wait, what’s that, only during the character creation screen and then never again?
I did actively notice that there is writing specifically included to take advantage of the fact they have a pronouns selector. The first example I spotted was a “hey new girl” from one particular npc, which would then refer to me with that moniker a few too many times thereafter.
I feel like if I noticed it and felt like it was included specifically for doing gender affirmations then it probably sends people like this into an absolute frenzy, which makes me laugh.
I mean, selecting gender has been in games since well before pronoun discourse. That’s literally the “Prof Oak asking if you’re a boy or a girl” stuff. The divergence comes when you have a masc body/face with “she/her” pronouns or sth.
What the Epic G*mer chuds fail to realize is that they receive gender affirmations themselves in their “nonpolitical” games where everyone must play a grizzled middle aged white man that kills otherfied less-than-people to avenge his fridged wife and/or rescue/protect his camera-oogled teenage daughter figure while also sometimes having le sexy cishet sex.
It doesn’t show up in the clip but the game actually has John Oliver pop up in a live feed every 5 minutes to yell “IT IS 2023 AND THERE WAS A CHEETO IN THE WHITE HOUSE” at you

Has your brain been eaten by maggots?
Its like bro you’re creating a character the game hasn’t even started yet.
“People exist outside of this tiny bubble and that’s terrible!”
Suburb brain, not even once.
