I guess gender dysphoria or autogynophilia is an accomplishment to be honored?

But you are in an infinitesimally small group that feel this way, which I am sure you are aware. You can acquiesce to whatever constructed reality you want, as long as it doesn't adversely affect me. Nor do your language choices allow you to make demands on me and others.

To be clear, you’re taking the position that the percentage of English speakers who consider sex and gender to be separate concepts to be infinitesimally small?

As to the latter bit, I’ve always found it interesting that gender pronouns seem to be the only time people should shout the “truth” at their fellow man. I think religions are “incorrect”, yet I stop and fold my hands when someone calls for prayer, just because it’s a polite thing to do. Does this not “make a demand” on me? Would it be good and noble of me to mock them instead?

Of course, because I clearly used “polite honorific” to mean things that should actively be honored, which somehow made sense in your head in the context of referring to pronouns in general and not in any specific use…

Thank you for the reminder of why I find these discussions to be so horribly fricking boring and why I practically always avoid them these days. You guys feel free to have whatever last word you like

Jeez.

I was merely making a funny on the back of another's post.

Any deep, personal offense was unintended.

I will try to be less amusing in the future in honor of your gracing such simpletons with your vast and unattainable intellect.

Chase Oliver Libertarian, I presume?

Stop being an arse. You didn’t offend me; you both simply reminded me that any discussion beyond “sex and gender are identical and if you disagree you’re wrong” isn’t going to happen. We’ve all had that conversation countless times. There’s no reason to rehash it. It’s boring.

and we’re digging deeper.

someone's delusional gender dysphoria should be equally as respected as someone's religious beliefs. ooof.

Sadly, people are not being edgy, and it's not a schtick. The world is turning from truth to fictional worlds that make them feel better.

Story, characters, dialogue, and setting are absolute trash.

Combat is pretty solid.

Stick with older DA titles or just play Dragons Dogma 2.

I’ve intentionally not posted jn here just watching and have to say it’s been a treat. All in all things shook out about exactly how I expected they would. Access journalism would glaze the game (shocked they only gave it an 84 in aggregate tbh) and selective review embargoing would work to pump preorders to normies. Unfortunately two slipped through in skill up and Matty plays. While I will never touch this game even if given for free and think it’s the most cringe thing ever I believe the multi leaks from different sources saying it’s sold about 1 million atm. So I’m legit happy some people found enjoyment in it for what it’s worth. My guess is it will get to 1.75ish by Christmas. Not a win for people who want the cringe woke shite to die out right but definitely not a financial success for EA and BioWare who 100% took a bath on this and will need 4-5 million units moved to just break even

If I tell you that Elden Ring wasn't my cup of tea, would you be able to hypothesize whether I'd like Kingdom Come or would you need more info?
