    Well, sure. Lots of people don’t want woke garbage in their games. When it tops the download list the number of people who reject gender ideology is revealed. That’s the real problem with it. It scares the shit out of the left because it breaks the illusion of social acceptance the left fights so ferociously to maintain by force and fiat.

      Hi, woke garbage here. Very trans. Enby too. Just sitting here existing at you. Existing so hard, it probably hurts you just knowing about it. I hope it does, 'cause you’re a prick and you deserve it .

          Wow, I’m the only person that bellend didn’t reply to. I feel special 🤣 Everycritter else gets a fresh pile of horsecrap, I don’t even get a downvote. Works fine for me, I guess.

            They have been spamming me all night.

            I asked them a yes or no question and they replied with a rant, that I still didn’t bother to read (because they didn’t reply with either “yes” or “no”) and now they’re accusing me of actually having read the rant. Very reasonable people 💀👍

      “Woke garbage” being things like “the existence of a type of people I think should not exist”.

        Again, with the “existence” thing. Obviously people exist, but arbitrary pronouns are woke garbage.

            When you decide at your choosing what they are, instead of by a deterministic set of conditions, they are, by definition, arbitrary. That’s what arbitrary means. It means you choose them.

              Here’s the thing: They are chosen by a deterministic set of conditions. Just because you don’t understand what those conditions are does not make the terms arbitrary.

              Also, that’s not what “arbitrary” means, either. For somebody who seems to be so uptight about the definitions of words, you sure do invent a lot of your own definitions.

                If I feel like eating pizza today, that desire comes from deterministic conditions. Me choosing to have pizza is still an arbitrary choice. If I had a cheeseburger instead of pizza because it’s cheeseburger day, even if I want pizza, that’s deterministic. You could argue that the schedule is arbitrary, and that’s fair, but deciding for yourself what pronouns you are going to have used in your regard regardless of your sex is arbitrary.

                  You know gender and sex aren’t the same thing, right?

                  Who am I kidding, of course you know. You just don’t care about the difference, because reality is meaningless to you.

                    I understand better than gender ideologues the difference between sex and gender, and unlike both the left and the right, I meticulously never use them interchangeably.

                No, they are chosen by “I identify as…” and then they make their choice. That is literally arbitrary. I don’t know how you have been using the word, but you could look it up in a dictionary to see how people have historically used the word.

                  they are chosen by “I identify as…”

                  So you acknowledge that there are deterministic sets of conditions after all. Great, we’re making progress!

                  Also:

                  based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system

                  It’s not random choice or personal whim. There is a reason and a system. Again, just because you lack the understanding does not mean the rest of the world is as riddled with brain worms as you are.

                    Yeah, the system is “I feel this way (today),” or “I feel that way (today).” This ends in “does free will exist,” which I don’t want to end up at.

          Yes. Existence.

          Trans people exist. Non-binary people exist. And they exist in ways that people refer to as “woke garbage”.

      Interesting that bigots are so insecure in their bigotry that they require it to be externally validated. How pitiful.

        The insecurity is on the part of the people trying to modify the language in society by fiat when it doesn’t get adopted organically.

      Lots of people don’t want woke garbage in their games.

      They’re welcome to make their own games, and host their own mods.

      When it tops the download list the number of people who reject gender ideology is revealed.

      Did it actually top the download list?

      No?

      That’s what I thought.

      it breaks the illusion of social acceptance the left fights so ferociously to maintain by force and fiat.

      Imagine telling on yourself like that 🤣

      I can understand that having pronouns or nonbinary or trans characters in games can be a bit of a culture shock. As a culture we’re beginning to grow more overall accepting of these people that have been here all along, but never felt comfortable to “be a seen part of society” out of fear. The same sort of thing happened, or is still happening, with homosexuality, though that’s further along the acceptance curve than trans/nonbinary.

      Eventually it won’t be so obviously “woke garbage” that sticks out to you as something noticeable and startling, and it’ll be just another feature of the game like anything else, just another NPC like any other, but that one gets called “they” instead of him or her. It takes time for it all to become normalized and not be something you raise eyebrows at and feel upset by. You may always wonder sometimes what gender someone is identifying as when it may not be obvious, but it will become easier to simply ask them, or be okay with not knowing, it’s okay to not know.

      I’m not going to pretend that mentally working through these things isn’t a part of this whole process, but trying to somehow fight back against it by calling it all garbage and refusing to extend the hand to understand where it’s all coming from is… inappropriate, we all need to get along, we all live on this planet together and the only way to make it the best it can be is to try and understand each other.

      Sure, you may have a point in there about desiring a platform where people can upload any mod they like, and that could totally be a thing, Nexus Mods doesn’t want that to be their thing, specifically, and whether you’re okay with that or not is your perspective, and I’m okay with that, but you should try and understand why Nexus is taking that stance. Nonbinary and trans people are on the back foot, culturally, so it’s clear that many places will take a stand to hard defend their representation because they’re so far behind the “biological genders” and could use a helping hand.

          I didn’t say that understanding and agreement are the same. What I wanted was for that user to understand where the other side was coming from, and acknowledge that, and if they still had a different opinion, then okay, but I just wanted to try and explain the side I’m on in a less directly hostile way than the other commenters are.

          You make some logical points, I won’t go into my opinion since it already seems clear, hope you have a nice night, genuinely, people should be able to discuss this stuff maturely.
