    Harping on rimworld, One of the most moddable games ever made, for the creator not understanding the depths of human sexuality is a little obtuse to say the least.

    There are a lot of things that people won’t understand and there are so many mods to resolve this it seems silly to expect the creator to “get it”.

    I’ve been around gay and trans people my entire life but I still don’t think that I fully understand human sexuality or our cultural relationships with gender norms.

    Undoubtedly if I were to architect something like Rimworld I would get it wrong but I hope I would have the foresight to leave an amendment process so that it could be modded into fitting with people’s understanding in the future.

      The creator said they had done research into this. Not only that, if you don’t know the rate of bisexual man, just leave it the same as woman of something. And even if it’s wrong it doesn’t change anything (until Biotech)

      My issue isn’t with the mechanics; yes, I’m sure that stuff can be modded.

      My issue is with the idea that I should give my money to someone who will actively defend the claim that I do not exist.

      Put it this way; if there were no non-white people in Rimworld, and the reason why was because the creator firmly believed that by the time humanity gets to space white people would have “won the race war and exterminated all the scum” would you still feel comfortable giving that person your money just because “I can mod that out”?

      Either you straight up did not understand the comment you responded to or you’re trying to move the goalposts.

      Either way, poor form
