This might be my last thread because most likely i will be banned after this for being a bigot , racist or whatever i dont care

i just saw a video of Exodus game and they already have Non Binary as an option in the character creation/sexual preference



it isnt just male body - female voice ( which is also fucked up ) , its written very clear Non-binary ( min 3:00 ) , what the fuck is wrong with this world ? How did we reach this point in which we can say that mental illness is normal for the sake of pleasing 1% of the population ?

we even have actors ( the dumb bitch that played she hulk ) saying that kids have the right to chose their gender/pronouns and parents have no right/say about it and people are accepting this more and more , people accepting this are a minority now but this mentality is gonna spread more and more , look back 10 years ago , how much talk was there about trans/non binary in media ? , think how bad things will be 10 years from now

We will see it more and more in games , movies , tv shows all kinds of media , people think that the companies are doing it because they care about such a small group.

You decide the future , the power is in your hands , do you buy a product that is being used to push this agenda ? or do you stop and fight for normality

 

[Schmendrick]

I´ve long stopped putting any money towards anything that tries to "educate" me concerning "diversity/tolerance/inclusion".
If I see pronouns, a rainbow flag or any other ultra diverse shit that`s just shoehorned in for virtue signaling I´ll just forget about that product and never look back.
No point getting all riled up over it though. As a consumer you absolutely have a choice, always.
I also think that the "anti-woke" faction has become just as bad as the "woke faction" by now. Suddenly every femaly protagonist or black character is automatically woke.
We´re stuck in that circle where certain people just want to stir emotions to get attention, and if there are no real reasons for emotions then they just make them up...

I just avoid buying these kind of games as our wallets can be a very powerful message.

Stick to older titles or woke free ones.

Vote with your wallet. Although looking at how recent games have performed that includes options like you are complaining about, it appears most people just don’t really care that much about it.

Have you tried not being full of hate and just letting people get on with their lives?

Have you considered your normal wasn't normal for other people and wasn't working?

Feel free to "vote with your wallet", but Hogwarts, Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3 all sold gangbusters, because most people are fine with it, or don't care enough that they can enjoy themselves while letting people who aren't like them enjoy themselves too.

[Polygonal_Sprite]

The minute mental health professionals started putting gender identities like this in medical literature everyone was fucked. It’s now seen as gospel and big companies are terrified of being called out as the devil online which can then hit their share price so they add this in to protect their business and investors.

I’m personally all for people of colour / female main characters half the time because at the end of the day it’s boring always playing a white dude (like I am in real life). But as usual the pendulum has swung to the other extreme. Just look at the last Xbox showcase. I don’t think there was a white male as the main character in 90% of the big games they showed. That to me has just created a new problem by swinging so hard in the opposite direction they’re now at risk of alienating more than half of the audience who built their business.

It should imo be a spit 50% white male / female and 50% people of colour only because of the demographics of the industry.

You would hope in time it levels out but as we’re seeing their is a severe online backlash because sexuality is so often also brought into the mix along with silly genders like animals or no gender at all also being added to tv shows, movies and now games.

My dude don’t confuse red pill internet videos or the internet in general for real life. You have more chance of being struck by lightning than actually coming into contact with one of the extreme trans people you see baiting normal people online. Same for most of the new “minorities” like Demi sexual or animal gender. I think some of it is actually a work to get clicks / likes tbh.

 

[Portugeezer]

A "non binary" choice is not that deep. What Pokemon Go did to make female characters look like Orangutans was 10x worse.

The athletics debate is an entirely separate thing, that I happen to agree needs more thought put into it.

Their existence as human beings is not the same thing as a tiny, tiny minority of a minority wanting an unfair competition in sports. The internet has dehumanised trans people through algorithmically calculated hate bait that targets people such as yourself and fills your Youtube recommendations with thumbnails of angry people who you already agree with. It works. If you actually met a regular trans person in real life who literally just wanted to go by she instead of he and get on with their life, you might not feel the same way.

as long as its almost in every media out there is very real , you would have to go live off the grid to not get in contact with it

That fucking swimmer retard stole all the medals from the women athletes , its as real it gets , fortunately they took the medals away after many protests and give it to the woman that came after him

My workplace makes it mandatory to list pronouns within your email signature, with those who refuse having to be placed on a DEI training course. My banking app (Lloyds TSB) also makes me list my pronouns, and insists on promoting the wonders of tolerance and inclusion everytime I want to check my balance.

It's in real world now.

 

[Eimran]

Chill OP. People are becoming more vocal about this and it's becoming more obvious that they are fed up with this crap. It will sort itself out eventually.

In the meantime just do what others do. Any game tries to lecture you on something. Don't buy that shit.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Most games pushing this kind of stuff look like shit and play like shit anyway, so it's not like we are missing much.

At most you have to deal with the body type nonsense during character creation like in Elden Ring for example, but meh, that doesn't bother me too much.

So yeah, as others have said vote with your wallet, and broaden your horizons by not just playing modern western AAA games which imo are the ones most affected with all this crap.

Its not resetera bro, its sane gaming forum here, dont worry.

About woke games/agenda, yup its pushed hard, but think of it in a bigger scale, in US+Canada u got what, maybe total 50m of woke libtards, add to that another 100m from western europe, and another 50m from other parts of the world, for total 200m out of 8 bilion human population, those woke insane leftists are tiny bubble vs all of mankind, it just happens tons of them are at the head of making movies/games/songs so we as normal consumers suffer from this shit, but keep voting with ur wallet, tons depends on us, let those games bomb, dev studios go bankrupt and they will learn.

As a final note, remember- woke reviewiers dont buy games, they get them for free, same with alphabet community/transformers, they are vocal but super tiny minority, and barely any of them wanna pay for games, instead they will make some enraged twitter post/tik tok vid
We- hardcore gamers are bread and butter of that industry, and devs, including woke agenda devs, get reminded of that time and time again, sex sells, wokeism put as priority almost always makes games bomb, and hard(only exception is when its hidden while marketing the game, then effects of that usually are fellt on the sequel/next product and in user reviews

 

[metareferential]

They don't care about families, or sex, or identity. Or people's struggles.

It's woke-washing, or whatever you want to call it. Pandering to vocal minorities to boost marketing and hopefully sales (and it doesn't negate the legitimacy of said struggles).

Like greenwashing, pinkwashing, and everything else.

Don't know where you live, but the great backlash is slowly but surely coming. Just wait for it. People are finally waking up to the fact that these crypto facists are trying to steal their lunch.

If you’re really concerned and able to make a big life changing decision then move to a developed middle eastern country like UAE (Dubai) or Qatar. Very safe, good healthcare, education system without all this bullshit.

That thing happend to a friend of ours. Her daughter came home and said she was 'gender fluid'

We all didn't know wtf that was and had to look it up. I said it sounds like a fucking brand of gear box lubricant

She'd learnt it in school, now she was that.

Stupid kids. The futures bright!

If it happens it will happen way earlier, from china's pov currently US is weakest its ever been, once they decide/think they can take taiwan- shit will hit the fan, ukraine/iran are just lil pokes to check response of nato/free world, similar thing happend just before ww2 too.
Oh, and btw, once actual war starts feminism is thrown out the window, all the inclusivity/diversity/equal rights etc, it all doesnt matter, both female and male feminists suddenly are hidden under deepest rocks, we had recent proof, february 2022 in Ukraine, all women could leave country, men 18-60yo couldnt and were drafted(not all to frontlines, but still ).

OP, don't let those fuckers get under your skin. They don't deserve any of your emotional investment.

This summer I tried to focus playing some good old games, doing more outdoor stuff with family and completely staying away from all the horseshits on Internet and I think it worked great for me. I feel my time is well spent and fulfilled.

Indifference is not a bad way to combat all the craziness happening now, and I firmly believe the pendulum has begun to swing. See you in the positive side.

Oh it's real. My wife became an SEN (Special educational needs) coordinator in one of the local schools. She deals mostly with kids that have autism. You'd be not really amazed at how many autistic kids suddenly have gender 'problems'

It's a gigantic insidious rabbit hole of nasty shit being pushed and propagated on kids these days

The reason?

Who knows. Money? Evilness? Aliens took over?

All I know is none of this is normal. By any degree. And people love it.

 

[RoadHazard]

you talk about letting people get on with their lives but do trans people lets normal people get on with their lives ?

trans men athletes want to compete in female competitions stealing away their medals/prizes , so they are not letting normal people to get on with their lives

In general, yes, they absolutely do let other people just get on with their lives. How many times has a trans person actually negatively affected your life (except for non-binary options in games, which you can easily just ignore)?

Of course it does go too far every now and then, for example people who were born male should obviously not be allowed to compete against women if doing so would give them an unfair advantage (which the swimming association or whatever has also concluded).

There are absolutely problematic aspects of that whole movement, but in general I think you can just let them do their thing while you do yours.

 

[Filben]

It's hard for kids grasp complex concepts like social gender when they struggle to grasp the concept of mathematical division; teachers need weeks of different methods to make children learn that stuff. It's like explaining them the difference between socialism and communism. A young brain cannot comprehend certain concepts, or only to a degree. And I doubt many parents' patience and competence to explain this in a low-threshold way to a young child. I mean, you don't give your eight years old 100 bucks and expect them to do something clever with it like investing in an idea with chances of profit and return, or to help people like spending it for cancer research. 90% would buy a shit load of Pokemon trading cards and sweets and since they lack the knowledge and reflection on diabetes and long-term damages of sugar they won't say "no thanks" when even adults can't. They're kids. And there's a reason a human child needs their parents for many many years. We're not some predator animal living for sleep, hunt and sex only, learned all of that in the first year and can survive on our own in the second. It's too complex. The human organism (and brain) is too complex. And the world is getting more complex by the day.

Certain decisions can't be made by children. It's a parents responsibility.

people think that the companies are doing it because they care about such a small group , they dont ,

This is probably the most valid point to be aware off. Companies are first and foremost a corporate entity and not a natural person. They answer to shareholders, to the public (not individual persons) or, in case of private companies, to the owner. And most profit-orientated companies, especially the high rollers, exist to make money first and foremost. This is the top goal. Everything else is just a tool to enable, reinforce, support or elevate said goal. A company per se cannot care about your feelings, your gender or ethics, because it's not a natural person; it's an administration unit to steer, control and act to make money with people willing to spend their time and workforce so in return they can pay their bills. This is a business transaction. Bonus points if morals allign. Of course you can have people working for a company who act out said ethics but then they should speak up as an individual person, because a PR image text on Twitter/X is nothing more than that... PR and marketing, because there's no individual signature on that text that connects the company's message with a natural person capable of having feelings.

This also applies to other politics and ethics as well and what's usually meant by saying that corporations aren't your friends. For them you only exist as a paying customer, a potential customer or target audience, or you don't. No matter what group you belong to, you don't exist as an individual in their eyes.

If 'a company', or better yet 'the people working for a company' really care about those things, they should act accordingly as a natural person.

 

[Toots]

OP think about it this way, the only people who care as much about this type of shit as you are the DEI woke morons.
Just let it go, focus on what you enjoy in gaming instead of the negative and you'll feel better.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

And every corporation pushing it. It's getting harder to ignore it. It's infested everything of some worth.

 

[demonstr8]

Go and look at the fall of the biggest empires and the reasons why they fell and the groups that profited from their fall - it has happened several times and it is happening again because it is specifically not common knowledge because those who mostly control the daily talking points don't want it to be spoken about otherwise people may see why they're being duped again and might finally avoid it but that's really unlikely.

I might lose my account for this but Googling the statement kill the best of the goyim will probably give you an idea of where to start. Nothing I have said isn't true though.

My autistic cousin (high school age) also thought she was transgender for a while. Then she sat with it, thought it through, and now knows she isn't. She also thought she might be a lesbian for a while, too - are we going to remove LGB education from schools as well?

Teenagers figure things out. As above, it's really not all that different from when schools introduced more and more LGB education and suddenly classes were full of kids figuring out their sexuality. I went to high school in the 2000s with lots of people who spent time wondering if they were gay and lo and behold, most are straight, some aren't. Not long before my time, schools teaching kids about gay people was seen as insidious and evil.

We should be teaching kids about real world issues and that other people unlike themselves exist. Do certain institutions take things too far, and make headlines that rile people up? Absolutely. But school isn't just about teaching kids algebra and making them read Of Mice & Men. It's about broadening their horizons to a world they're unfamiliar with.

Just my two cents: I think teaching about LGB stuff is nice since that is real.

You are a men who likes other men, that's real and you are gay.
Meanwhile, you are a man who thinks he's a woman, that's not real since, well, you are not a woman.

Schools shouldn't teach about trans stuff just like they don't teach you about being a furry, licking feet or eating ass. All of those things (being trans included) are fine and people can do whatever the fuck they want with their lives, but that doesn't mean we have to expose kids to all that stuff.

They're going to be exposed to it whether it's embedded in the curriculum or not. The best place to do so is within a regulated education system.

Yes, but thats a far cry away from what he is saying.
Most of the time companies will ask that or have it mandated to protect themselves from embarassing situations if it ever comes up.

Also your talking about the corporate world and work where companies are hyper aware of these things.

I am talking about day to day, real life interactions outside of email, apps and online. In the real world you dont go up to someone and say, hello, whats your pronouns and then start a conversation. You just chill say hi and make your own assumptions on what you see and hear. Most of the world works like this, email, apps and online are also not the real world no matter how ingrained they are in society and life, the moment you begin real world interactions with physical speak and presence you leave online behind, unlesss of course, your a robot.
