Just saw a social media post about BG3 VAs coming back to record dialogue with proper they/them pronouns. 30% of the comments passed the vibe check, the other 70%…gulag. re-education camps. The pit. I dont care. Theyre so miserable that a digital, escapist medium trying to cater to as many people as possible makes them angry. If that is some shit that ruins your day, then give me some fucking money, fuck you i need medicine while you’re malding and seething over something you probably won’t have to see on your playthrough. I know you have the money to give me because THIS is what pisses you off. Not the current state of the country, but pronouns in video games.
Keeping this out of the gaming sub so that my angry rants dont detract from cool shit
The cultural revolution the USA will need to deal with its reactionaries will make Mao look like a lib
We should have started digging the pit years ago
It’s hard to vote for reeducation camps when, like, 80% of the population will have to be in there. How will the rest of us feed those assholes for the rest of forever?
Part of the reeducation will be how to grow some veggies in communal farms. Those hogs gonna learn to feed themselves instead of relying on exploiting migrant labor to do it for them.
Oh bet, I didn’t think of that
Iirc in USSR when they were teaching peasants and workers literacy they were teaching classes in the evening after work, not replacing work with education
Do right wing gamers even like games? When you start really diving in and doing niche things, speedruns, modding, retro games, deep indie stuff - you know, shit that people who really really like games do - then you stop seeing right wingers and find yourself surrounded by queer trans furry communists.
Gamergaters are tourists it’s a well-known fact!
Gamergaters are beyond tourists: they’re gentrifiers.
And look at all the violence and destruction they masturbate to online that Israel does.
Look at how they cream to how cruel they are to anyone that society licenses them to. And they call themselves Christians.
I want them to answer honestly. Is this smug sense of superiority really worth the lake of fire? Because we all know that pigs like them are going to burn in hell. So, which is it? Your pride or a loving God? (Hint: the devil picked the former and we all know you will too.)
I am angry and petty and dont want them to burn in the afterlife, i want them to [redacted] now
hell does not exist, so we must build it here on earth (luckily communism = hell to them)
It’s also massively disrespectful to the VAs themselves, if I remember correctly, Karlachs VA goes by They/them.
BG3 is one of the best AAA games we’ve had in years, gamers need to stop trying to ruin their own hobby
I dont follow bg3 closely nor have played it but yeah it does seem like they should have included that in 1.0
It’s a great game, but in saying that, I haven’t fully beat it yet as it’s MASSIVE and I’ve reached the age where I don’t have time to beat long games fast lol. But even only playing the first chapter (which in all fairness is like 70 hours long) I can tell it’s an amazing game with a lot of effort and love put into. The exact kind of thing gamers claim they want. Lol.
“I hate when role-playing games spend time in order to make the role-playing in the game more immersive by tweaking how characters in the story refer to your self insert character” ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go off, love.
I’m so glad I don’t spend any time in gaming communities. This shit would make my blood boil as well.
I can be a miserable sack of shit sometimes, but I really, really try not to yuck a yum or let my idealism ruin everyone’s good time. It takes a special type of dumb guy to get mad about pixels and spew so much vitriol towards people who appreciate the representation in their favorite media.
Im not really in any gaming communities either, I just happen to see this shit while scrolling on my socials and it fucking makes me so angry that chuds, reactionaries, and worse cant just fucking leave shit alone. They must creep into literally ANYTHING that gets a news article to announce “im a fucking asshole and cannot stand the thought of catering to someone other than me.”
To them, I say swallow my shit and hair. This world isnt for you. It may be right now at this moment, but inshallah socialism will win and we will beat humanity into them through re-education and a cultural revolution.
Aaah fair. I don’t really use any socials anymore. I scroll the bear and occasionally a very curated Bluesky or mastodon feed. But I kind of avoid raw dogging public internet spaces.
it’s so bad out there right now. I have a huge list of blocked channels on freetube but honestly at this point if I want to see an opinion on a game I want to buy I’m staring at the channel names and titles on YouTube trying to figure out if I’m about to hear the vilest shit
for instance one of the earliest games I played was the 1999 space RTS Homeworld which recently released a third installment. The reviews I watched were specific about why they didn’t like the story and gameplay but the comments were just full of people saying “woke” and “dei” and at this point I just can’t trust anyone who posts online about games anymore since so much of it is ideologically driven. Not to mention that I always worry about paying for a game only to find out later that like they’re donating my money to Whites R Us or something.
What do you mean by proper they/them pronouns? like, referring to the player character the chosen way or?
I assume so, haven’t played the game
