Microsoft Flight simulator sweating hard right now
Can't even think of another game that would be impacted by that stupid criteria.
So many people who never cared about the Gulf before, now suddenly care about it being renamed. Crazy how politics turn people into sheep.
Isn't that the reason he did it?What if it is illegal to drill in the Gulf of Mexico but perfectly legal to drill in the Gulf of America and drilling began once the name was changed.
Still dumb?
Looks more like Elon Musk as a tranny than it did before.Oh by the way:
Trans, She/They

Oh please someone quote tweet them accusing them of deadnaming the gulf.Isn't that the reason he did it?
And I find it deeply ironic that this person doesn't think things can TRANSition from one name to another. Why she dead-naming?
So, the mod stealthily changed the pronoun in the title..
Just tell them the Gulf has become fluid.
To be fair, the same could be said for those supporting the change of the name.
No one "cared" before, because no one tried to change the name in the last 475 years. Try to change it now, and of course people will be talking about it.
yesWhat game mentions the Gulf of Mexico anyway?
Is this guy retarded?
Bingo.Winning over the language is a key battle in the culture war.

"If you can't respect my new name and pronouns, why should I respect your new name?"And why is he even so upset about this in the first place?
And now the Gulf of Mexico is trans. Oh no I dead named it - sorry Gulf of America.Thats how trans ppl work, they think they are something else, but everyone knows they arent what they say they are.
Well, using pronouns, especially in the context of transgender people, feels like an imposition of ideology I don’t agree with. I’m not against people but I’m against being forced to participate in their personal beliefs. Respect should be mutual, not one-sided"If you can't respect my new name and pronouns, why should I respect your new name?"
Gulf of TearsCall it the Gulf of Americo and be done with it
Agreed. Just trying to answer why someone is feeling what they are feeling.Well, using pronouns, especially in the context of transgender people, feels like an imposition of ideology I don’t agree with.

I think the name change is awful and very disrespectful to Mexicans
It looks like they've only got one Naval Base on the gulf, and tbh, it's more like a couple docks than what you'd think of when you read "naval base". I'm of the "use it or lose it" mindset when it comes to territory and natural resources. Like, imagine you're playing a competitive RTS and there's a guy just barely building stuff around his base. Leaving resources untapped etc. Eventually you're gonna grab it, and if you don't grab it, someone else will.I think the name change is awful and very disrespectful to Mexicans, its still internationally called the Gulf of Mexico, you can only get a legit name change through the United Nations. Personally think this is just another freedom fries instance and the next administration will remove it. As disgusting I think changing the name of the gulf is its still not as disgusting as IGN.
!!!This silly shit aside, IGN has been boosting the score of politically charged games to make them day 1 sales. They gave veilguard a 9 and avowed a 9.5. We all know that both games do not deserve that score.
I fight back by review bombing. Make a ton of acounts and go shit on them on metacritic. Nothing makes the media more upset than gamers review bombing their favorite LGBTQRSTUVWYXZ games.
It's a lot less disrespectful than trying to force Mexicans to change their language to suit woke sensibilities. Go ask a Mexican or any other latino person if they want to use the term latinx and other gender-neutral modifications to their language.I think the name change is awful and very disrespectful to Mexicans
The irony in all of this.British Colonization: broke
Spanish Colonization: bespoke
Yes still dumb, if not even more dumb.
It means you are changing a name to skirt around a law/policy rather than going through the appropriate means for changing law/policies.
Colonization status depends strictly on complexion of the colonizing force. You could make it even easier with a color swatch. East Asians and Northern Europeans? No-go. I think Spain just barely makes it over the line.The irony in all of this.
