What's the point of adding it in the first place?
To make those that want them happy, I guess? Not too uncommon for an RPG I'd imagine. But I think it'd be fair to also add the option to remove them if that's the case. More options are never a bad thing IMO. I'm just tired of the whole "us vs them" from all sides going on, lol. Wild how much power a small bit of text has on some people.

I don't even consider this as a win. The mere fact that they put in the first place is already moronic, you shouldn't get idea from wackos.
And there are people who actually think its ok with this since if it's the rpg asthetic. Since when putting trends from mentally unstable people were a good idea? What now, gonna put a tag calling everyone phobic or racist if they don't agree with you in the game as a mechanic? Because thats the norm of social people too.

I agree with you that it is still moronic for it to even be there, but I see it as a win in merely the fact that Obsidian felt the need to make a change. Next time hopefully they will learn to just leave it out entirely and avoid all this bullshit drama.

Mushroom people pronouns
Dank, Dark, Lower Parasitic Lifeforms that lack Chlorophyll.
Popping up in your backyard like they own the place.

It’s funny seeing the market correct itself in real time. Nobody is buying woke slop anymore. These people all have bosses, and are openly antagonizing potential customers for the benefit of nothing tangible. Next few years will be interesting. I said it before but Musk buying twitter was a devastating blow to woke culture.

Yep. Folks like Matt Hansen can preach his political/social rhetoric all he wants, but at the end of the day Phil Spencer has, as he puts it, a "business to run". All the political grandstanding take a backseat to the almighty dollar,pound,yen,etc.

So, we're suddenly defending pronouns?🤔

I’m perfectly fine with options that don’t impact me at all.

Man, you really loved Hogwarts Legacy and that game goes way deeper with pronouns than this character sheet in Avowed.
