It's not "about trans and non-binary people," it's about the injection of identity politics into video games. The removal of the mod shows that activist fiat is necessary to present the illusion that people buy into gender ideology.

The existence of trans and nonbinary people is not an injection of identity politics into video games. The fact that they exist and a video game is acknowledging their existence is not political.

No no no, you have to break their brains.

Ahem:

White people in a video game is political. Statistically, the default is Han.

Wow 2+2 is 4 in this video game??? Didn’t know it’s going so WOKE

You just but I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Conservatives have a long running feud with the sciences.

I thought 2+2=4 was anti-woke? Wasn't there a whole weird Twitter drama thing a couple of years ago where 2+2=4 was considered the racist side?

did a bot write this? what are you even trying to say?

Are you one of those people that thinks anything that's not straight cis white is "identify politics"? That anything that isn't your world view is "political"? If so, please go fuck yourself. If not, I have no idea what you're on about.

Not a bot; just a bigot. If you scroll to the very bottom, a good 30% of the total comments are this guy digging a hole trying to prove it's "woke" society that's the problem and not him.

That's legitimately just sad. What a pathetic individual.

It got worse:

The only thing left to fight for is the right to indoctrinate very young school children into gender ideology and show them, graphically, how to be gay.

Either a troll, or too far gone to help.

Teaching children how to be gay, sure.

Hey, Children. If you like somebody and they like you back, don't worry about which gender you think you belong to.

People can love people no matter if they are the same gender or not.

Pronouns, gender, genitals, etc. in player-character customization are just yet another option for someone to tailor their gameplay to whatever experience they want.

The only identity politics comes from the people politicizing it.

"Identity politics" always seems to mean "I am upset that different people exist."

This is a nothing option in a video game. Nobody's rubbing your nose in it. It doesn't affect you, at all, but it's a neat little extra for other people. Do you give a shit about other people? Or does the mere possibility of anyone distinct from you, the protagonist of reality, fill you with emotions you can't handle? There's no third option, here. It's a checkbox for how NPCs choose voice lines, in exactly the same way they've done for decades. It's just separate now.

But of course one glance at your profile shows you're an unapologetic bigot, and what you mean by "gEnDeR iDeOlOgY" is exactly what every other diet Nazi means by it: you hate queer people, and you want it to be their fault.

Out.

Yeah, having that "he/she/they" toggle and calling sex "body type 1 and 2" instead of male/female sure is political. You know when it became political? When people saw them and went "REEEEEEEEEEEEE" because they're bigoted dumbfucks.

,"Identity politics" in this case meaning "trans and non-binary people exist and are trans or non-binary respectively".

The removal of the mod shows that activist fiat is necessary to present the illusion that people buy into gender ideology

Bullcrap. It shows nothing of the sort. It shows nothing more than that NexusMods doesn't feel like hosting assholes.

It's only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There's nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

The fact that you unironically used the term 'gender ideology ' proves that you are, in fact, a bigoted little shit.
