— "Fuck you, falling into a world and just getting lost! No, no, no! Current-fucking-day! You take everything we love — all our immersions, all our fantasies, all our escapism — and you can't help shovel your dogshit, fucking-crap ideology into everything!"
— He won't fucking shut up. Knock him out.
[Challenging: Success] — The wavering of his voice, the tears dewing in his eyes, the erupting tantrum; he isn't acting like the usual grifters you've seen. He believes this. Video games are the only thing that he has. You can see before you the faded afterimage of a friendless little boy, kneeling alone in a patch of playground grass and clover. He's been this way forever.
— Don't go soft on a display this pathetic. Make an example out of him. His little computer-buddies need to be too ashamed to agree with him in the open.
It always blows my mind how angry capital G Gamers get about games where you very much have the option of playing a cishet guy but can also choose to play as someone different
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?
Fun fact: this is what virtue signalling actually looks like.
Whatever Mr Shouty divorced man actually thinks, he's not acting like this because he cares that much about pronouns but for the approval of his garbage audience.
and that's why i support authoritarianism, cause this asshole thinks he supports "freedom" but he's a fucking liar so he needs to be in a pit with some lead implanted into his brain.
ha ha holy fuck i'm still definitely not buying that game, but seeing this man transform into a gammon in real time means that when i meet on the road i will spare his life.
he got owned by a trans npc later and it fucking rocks. these dudes are so fucking frothy and stupid it's awesome. on the one hand screaming about immersion and treaterinos and on the other hand failing to recognize that any reasonable future society is going to have a lot more options than just gender affirming surgeries and hrt
I made the mistake of looking up live gamer reactions to this, and saw a lot of folks agreeing with this ghoul. Man, I feel so safe as a trans person these days.
Also, it is simply astounding how easy it is to spot the reactionary if you even mention pronouns.
His entire rant is how he wants an immersive escapist fantasy where trans people don't exist. Is this person popular? He reminds me of that guy TotalBiscuit but less articulate.
Everything that overgrown infant cried could very well be directed right back at him.
LGBTQ+ people just want to have a good time in fantasy media and get immersed in a story to be fully themselves using pronoun selection and seeing characters reminiscent of them and their people they know in real life.
However these whining maggots have to constantly shovel their soy ideology into everything, crying about muh pronouns as if LGBTQ+ people being happy is such a fucking abhorrent thing. Constantly reminding LGBTQ+ people of the very dangerous hostile body politic that they seek to escape from every time they go on one of these childish right wing tantrums.
And they've been doing so for about a decade now, it's fucking boring, pathetic even, how much importance these fascists still assign to their insane barbaric opinions as more and more people see them for the twisted creatures they are.
All these conservative crybabies always project. It's practically guaranteed he used to call people triggered snowflakes. Just look at this pathetic showing. What is he if not precisely a triggered snowflake?
Also, his twitter is just a vertical feed of reactionary claptrap. Such a fucking loser, lol
Just set it to he/him and get on with your life, jeez. Its like screaming at a changing table in a rest room because you don't have a kid. You might not need it but someone else may. The world does not exist to facilitate you personally.
The tab back is funny. It's kind of a shame that what Bethesda produces is remarkably boring, but it has nothing to do with a pronoun option. Also, if this dude is upset about people projecting "current day" society on to the past, just wait until he finds out how people project capitalism back on to feudalism in most of his "escapist immersion fiction".
As an aside, how the fuck can he call other people pathetic when he does this shit enough to stream it with a camera on himself and all he can think to describe what he values about games is "immersions, fantasies, escapisms". You're basically saying that your job is to be an opium sommelier.
