I agree with him

 

[darrylgorn]

Lmk when he bans pronouns. Until then, this is just a waste of time.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Did anyone tell him that a game came out where a robot had pronouns? Lol

 

[hinch7]

Annoying thing is.. you can't opt out of it. With even mods getting censored that try to skip around 'inclusion'.

Its immersion breaking when you have an old fantasy RPG with modern inserts. Plus language and speech.

 

[winjer]

I just wish we could go back to a normal gaming industry, not obsessed with political propaganda.

What is actually "killing" art is the price manipulation in the market by those who treat art as an investment asset, so Elon and his 1% friends.

He's just bitter that his trans child called him out as a deadbeat dad on his own platform. Nothing more than a tantrum by the emerald mine baby.

Wow, Microsoft/xbox are really deep in this rabbit hole huh?

To the point where it's become personal for employees?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Every time i see Musk, i'm little scared.

What a badass

 

[Little Chicken]

Glad to see gamers around the world are hyper aware of the woke mind virus.

Like anything else, it depends to what degree it appears as.

The ridiculous "inclusion" character and storyline in DA Vanguard was so hard handed and poorly done that it was comical.

Simple pronouns on a character info page? It is easy to ignore. It makes some people happy and is doesn't impact the game so it really isn't worth wasting energy over.

Elon Derangement Syndrome

A mental disorder characterized by disparaging anything Elon Musk does. Sufferers experience rapid onset of EDS (Elon Derangement Syndrome) when they learn Elon Musk does not have a radical left-wing intersectional queer critical race theory based world view.

Treatments include going outside, touching grass, shutting the fuck up.

I'm sure the world's richest man doesn't need you defending him.

Maybe you should ask if he has a Groom of the Stool position available?

In any case, I don't seek out news about him, but every second week or so I'm reminded that he's a bit of a cunt.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Isn't fantasy all about FANTASY?

I don't care about LGBXAQETKDOSL stuff but aren't you supposed to create your own character like you want to?

And it’s a fight brave knights of woke… in order to defend who? We never hear or see these actually woke people who use those pronouns. Know why? Because it’s a small group and they probably wouldn’t want attention.
It’s the defenders and “good guys” who do this crap

 

[DaleinCalgary]

He's correct

 

[LazyParrot]

What a weird hill for a self-proclaimed free speech advocate to die on.

Just don't buy the games. Might not work as quickly as a ban, but it'll work all the same. If this year has been proof of anything, it's that.

 

[Gonzito]

Absolutely true, if a games has pronouns then I aint buying that crap

 

[Gonzito]

I just wish we could go back to a normal gaming industry, not obsessed with political propaganda.

Back when we had good writing, Witcher 3, Fallout New Vegas, Mass Effect, DA origins etc

It sucks that now we have games with amazing graphics but so poor in story telling

 

[Clear]

What is actually "killing" art is the price manipulation in the market by those who treat art as an investment asset, so Elon and his 1% friends.

When the "art" costs tens even hundreds of millions to make, then its an investment asset by default.

Also, consider that any game coming out of China has to be CCP approved, which is a pretty key point when making anti-capitalist statements - that's the actual alternative. Well that or endlessly stringing along and milking a fanbase like Star Citizen has been doing...

 

[Kraz]

Fantasy Art is where these ideas should be explored. Free speech.

Lmk when he bans pronouns. Until then, this is just a waste of time.

Banning pronouns in art would only be possible for the state to do within its borders. Art going through federal ideological approval could end up with non-representational art video games. Perhaps not the worst thing to happen, but definitely limiting.

My God, man! You're on fire in this thread.

Your tag should be removed and pasted onto the stealth woke goons you're replying to.

 

[Three]

Yup its the target now and rightfully so. I was looking forward to the game very much but as a matter of principle I'm skipping it now. I refuse to participate in the mind virus delusion and will speak with my wallet once again. There are plenty of games that don't pander that are still available to play.

It's good to hear you're consistent with the principles you have even though I personally don't see it as that big a deal.
Props to you for doing what you believe in so reasonably.

My veiw is that I hate this agenda thing whatever side of the coin it is and hope whichever side is making games finds success on the game they wish to make. Whether that's hentia games with big tits or this game with pronouns. "Diversity" shouldn't be about pushing something over the other and hoping everything except this or that fails as so many extreme people on the sides of the coin do. It should be about accepting all the games and mindsets out there and coming to the realisation it's something you don't have to like or participate in by simply not buying things you don't like.

 

[Trekinspace88]

Not going to happen with Elon Musk trying to spread his political agenda as well.

 

[Aguero9320]

Radical thought, I know, but could he not just ignore it? He also missed out ‘to me’ at the end of his statement…

 

[Little Chicken]

Wow, Microsoft/xbox are really deep in this rabbit hole huh?

My pronouns are Game/Pass, excuse you.

I just hope this crap goes away in a few years and devs just focus on making good games. Thats why I've been enjoying a lot more Japanese and Asian games and entertainment. That skip around the tiring politics being tied into every piece of western media. Its so tiring and breaks immersion. Every, single, time.

This stupid shit promotes mental illness. We are living in a world where mental illness is encouraged and accepted, no matter how detrimental.

 

[Hohenheim]

I mean yeah but is this really thread worthy? It's also not his first time saying this.

Yeah, didn't he say that his son was "dead" in a recent interview with Jordan P? (because he had a sex change)
This is obviously a bit of a sore point for him.
I don't give a fuck about this as long as the rest of the game / story / dialoge pushes the DEI agenda up out asses.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Oh no, games use grammar. Arent there accessibility options for Elon and Grummz if theyre having a hard time with their english?

Pretty sure Elon can easily afford some english courses if he is struggling with primary school curriculum.

 

[deriks]

Dragon Age is at 20k players now. Is that good?

 

[Kraz]

This stupid shit promotes mental illness. We are living in a world where mental illness is encouraged and accepted, no matter how detrimental.

That's also said about the violence in video games, and that is disputed.

 

[Laptop1991]

I agree with Elon, just make a fantasy game like we use to love to play in the past.

 

[Unknown?]

Pronouns ultimate goal is for pedophiles to have sex with confused, hyper sexualized children. That's why they push this under the guise of it not being a big deal to normalize it.

Same here, even on my Steam search I made sure to censor out any game that promotes woke agenda.

I agree. Since he's part of the state now, he should frankly stop being a pussy, and do something about it.

 

[Kdad]

So Elon Musk doesn't want pronouns in games now? So the only way to make Elon happy is to make all games have what body type A and body type B instead?

So Elon has officially joined the cancel culture team lol. Glad i abandoned twitter now.

He's been on that team for a long while. Of course he's good boosting pedophiles though...totally acceptable. I expect an xcrement from them next calling for more inclusion of pedos in video games.

Before Elon bought Twitter, they refused to take down child porn. Twitter was peddling pesos hard before Elon and pronouns/gender confusion is a pedophile thing.

Have you actually read up on that lawsuit? It was a bunch of people blackmailing a teenager, nothing to do with anything 'pronouns'.

You're making a dumb, dangerous and incorrect correlation.

I'm sure the world's richest man doesn't need you defending him.

Sick burn. I'm sure he gives a shit about all the jealous do-nothings taking shots at him too. Have a glass of warm soy-milk and relax friend.

You read that wrong or I didn't make that clear enough. The person I quoted said X was elevating pedos but Twitter always had pedos with many many examples(I just mentioned the most egregious one). Point 1.

Point 2(not connected to point 1). The pronoun thing is absolutely being pushed by pedos. Not everyone who accepts them are pedos of course(just useful idiots) but those who are pushing for it are doing it for nefarious reasons.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Its hilarious how many are so bothered by having pronouns in character creator. Just pick what you want and move on.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Wow, really? Avowed has jumped on this bandwagon too?

 

[Zathalus]

Pronouns ultimate goal is for pedophiles to have sex with confused, hyper sexualized children. That's why they push this under the guise of it not being a big deal to normalize it.

The game has a PEGI 18 rating (extreme violence, drugs, language, etc…). Children should not be playing it.

 

[drotahorror]

That's also said about the violence in video games, and that is disputed.

Violence is not normalized, at least in a beneficial, societal, acceptable way. Pronouns, being trans, etc, all shit that can benefit you in the right circle, encouraged by our teachers, the press, and the western world overall.

 

[Fyrium]

Hmm, agree mostly. Pronouns can be jarring enough in regular games, but more so in a fantasy setting they can rip you right out of the setting/story.

 

[Kings Field]

Musk is right

 

[dorkimoe]

Can we ban this moron

 

[Senua]

Can we ban this moron

Musk? Yes he must be banned from Neogaf at once!

 

[mdkirby]

I mean yeah but is this really thread worthy? It's also not his first time saying this.

He has been a lot more vocal on this issue the last month. To the point where I would not be overly surprised if he makes a big play with a publisher acquisition, Ubisoft perhaps….which is also a studio in dire need of some staffing optimisations.

 

[Unknown?]

The game has a PEGI 18 rating (extreme violence, drugs, language, etc…). Children should not be playing it.

I wasnt talking about this game but in general. Pronouns are pushed to kids in middle and high schools and in workspaces to normalize it. It's why gender dysphoria is much more statistically higher in cities like LA/San Fransisco where they push this nonsense than anywhere else. It's to confuse kids.

 

[proandrad]

Ban person "X" for having an opinion I don't agree with.
