Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

I went to a comedy show in a somewhat "progressive" red area last night and the comic made a joke about pronouns (not in a negative light) but as soon as he mentioned pronouns pretty much the whole audience started booing at pronouns. It was pretty sad to see.
I genuinely cannot understand why anyone gets hot and bothered over pronouns. It's crazy. They're crazy people.
Because rather than have empathy for others and realize how their actions might affect others, they'd rather focus solely on themselves and make everything about them and how they're inconvenienced.
it’d make some amount of sense if they were actually inconvenienced but i’m still not understanding the inconvenience tbh
It goes against their view that everybody is "normal" like them (white, cisgender, etc.)
It makes them have to remember things about people rather than assume based on their appearance.
Because the american education system failed them and they don't even know what pronouns are, they just know that someone told them that they have to hate it with a passion.
Stops them hating the late-stage capitalist society which is what's ACTUALLY causing them grief
OMG that's a pronoun!
Most of those people are unable to identify a pronoun in a sentence.
They can't understand it and their brains are small enough that not being able to understand something makes them mad.
Subscribe to some conservative YouTube channels or Instagram accounts. Pronouns, LGBTQ, racec etc. are brought up and criticized CONSTANTLY.
