I do not care about any of this stuff but I just thought of something. Isn't this opening up stuff to make Role Playing games even more in depth? Just lets everyone be whoever (is it whom?) they want to be.

Cool. Why anyone would advocate for arbitrary limits in rpg character creation is beyond me.

This might be the only board on this site that isn’t going to REEEEE about something like this. It’s refreshing.

TBH, gender natural characters are the only option in character creators.

The only way you know it is a female is from the body shape and proportions.

It is more of a big deal to ppl who just want to make it a big deal.



Brooooooo

You're being brainwashed to think this should be acceptable in the real life.

First you find it fine in a video game, and then the next thing you know you find it perfectly reasonable to be behind a Hardee's and finger blasting some femboy butthole with a cock in your mouth.

Get your fricking life together.

That's why World of Warcraft and Grindr exist.

Or even worse, if they allow you to change pronoun sets of non-created characters. If you want your Master CHief to be LGbtQ, they'll allow it.


...

Why would a person refer to your pronouns when talking to you? Do people often refer to you in the third person when conversing directly with you?

And as far as listening in on cutscenes where your character is referenced, it's just easier to say "they" in games that allow you to pick because then they only have to record one set of lines.

This is probably trolling, but on the off chance it isn't:

Posts like this are why I think most homophobes are just closeted, self-hating gays

There likely was until someone started posting weird pictures of them and their dog, the OT started making fun of the creep, and the post was deleted.

This news doesn’t really concern me. Anyone over the age of 12 that likes Harry Potter was suspect anyway.

Books are amazing. Movies went to complete crap after the 4th one. Never saw a video game that looked remotely interesting.

And I'll echo that this isn't a feature that would bother me at all even if I did play the game. I'm sure a lot of games are doing it now anyways. The only reason this is news is because Rowling had been on the war path against trans.

Will players get to choose which bathroom their character uses?

You've been able to walk into the bathroom of either gender in rpgs without explanation or remorse for decades.
