What is fundamentally wrong with these people?
What is it that they actually want?
It seems like they don't want anyone except themselves to exist. That's clearly not a realistic thing that is going to happen and they're inexplicably angry about it. All the time. One might as well go through life wishing that the colour green doesn't exist.
They want these groups to exist, so that there's a class of people that they can feel superior to
But once society starts even slightly addressing the inequality in the most minor ways, they're terrified that their 'superiority' is at risk and they can't cope with that
They do, and they're told to be very angry about it.
Probably all non white males should be the enemy in their games to reflect their dream world?
Except white hetero women ofc.
These are satirical/ironic. It's a joke, probably fair to call it a circlejerk but it's mostly self-perpetuating at this point. "Gamer, rise up!" and "I'm sure everyone will have pronouns as well" are the main giveaways. The last one I'm less sure about because the punchline is weak but I would still guess it isn't sincere.
I used to believe like you. That these were just trolls. Otherwise reasonable people having a laugh. Good times all around.
And then the election happened. So now I'm no longer sure that the world is full of mostly reasonable people. And I believe at least half of these people are actually like this.
It could be, but I've seen what seems to be genuinely held beliefs that look identical to these.it turns out these very fragile snowflakes actually exist too, to the detriment of us all.
Have you seen the Stellar Blade petition videos? People like the ones in the comments exist.
Sure some are parodying but these socially awkward white men who wrap their entire life’s around videogames are real and are the loud minority. Because games are their life they feel attacked when they see non-whites they can’t kill in games.
I DON'T WANT HOMOSEXUALS IN MY GAMES, WHAT IF I START TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR THEM, HUH!?
Better start practicing UwU

Ah yes. Nothing runs a game quite like having options
fucking embarassing takes from fans of a game that secretly gender swapped chracters in multiple installments intentionally to get a message to them that assigned gender at birth really doesn't matter. these dipshits think the small independent game studio being bought by a big megacorporation will turn the small org woke? laughable. from software has always been woke if you had any media literacy at all. no megacorporation is or can be woke. there are reasons to be sad about this (art works best when made from passion, not from being told how to make it by shareholders), but these fascistic fucks are butthurt for all the worst reasons
everyone will have pronouns
Yes, that's how English works, everyone has pronouns unless you want to use their name every time they're referred to.
I have a friend who didn't use pronouns when talking to or about others for a while. Turns out they were struggling with their own gender identity and they started using pronouns again once they figured themselves out.
This was a heartwarming and satisfying story arc.
The internet is so stupid that the people who are being stupid and the people who are being hilarious cannot form a legible Venn diagram
"Asking for pronouns is woke, therefore pronouns are EVIL!"
I'd like for them to stop using them altogether and only use names just to "trigger" us.
Imagine being a straight white man and feeling underrepresented in videogames.
white fragility is hilarious.
From has been exploring gender ambiguity at least since Dark Souls. It’s nothing new.
You can already change everything about your appearance, sexual characteristics included, for free at any time in the hub area of Elden Ring too
Oh man, next they're going to introduce a divine being that can freely morph between female and male sexual characteristics. Or a magical femboy twink who visits peoples dreams. God imagine if FromSoftware started doing social commentary on the crumbling state of our hierarchical institutions, with a focus on how those who try to suppress the natural order of the world are responsible for all the problems.
Good thing art isn't inherently woke, otherwise some of these commenters would have a thought.
The first one is hilarious because you've been able to change your gender at will in the Souls games since the very first Dark Souls. DS1 you use a ring. DS2 you use a coffin. DS3 and everything after you just use the respec system and alter appearance.
"THE NATURE OF YOUR BEING HAS CHANGED."
Though it is weird hearing the dialogue use pronouns for every character but yours. You're still trying to be the Lord of Cinder or the Elden Lord even if you're a lady, but they will say Lady Rennala. Go figure. 🤷🏻♂️
In a lot of systems, Lady is an honorific inherited or gained by marriage, but Lord (or equivalent) indicates the person is the main titleholder.
You'll also see some fiction avoid the title "Empress" for the same reason.
I don't like corporate consolidation, but these guys reasons are ridiculous. I'd argue that the "woke mind virus" is what infected these guys to chirp "woke woke" at every little thing. You think Sony gives a shit?
So dumb. At least some of the characters will be black and gay.
Damn gamers still be the worst huh?
open racism sexism and homophobia
This woke bullshit is gonna ruin us. Sorry, ruin incels
Now half of the NPC's in Elden Ring
NPCs*
I would say the commenter is both bigoted and dumb, but the former adjective made the latter redundant.
Second hand cringe and embarrassment just reading it
Honest question: Isn't cringe actually just second-hand embarassment? That is, isn't cringe when you see someone else doing something embarassing?
You might be right. English is my second language so maybe I interpret them differently. For me they describe two similar reactions, but quite different feelings.
From Software was devious in creating a character everyone loves but not telling gamers that he's a minority under the onion armor
There's already a literal hormone slider in the character creator
Og hate pronouns. Og want non-Og talk like Og.
(!) they might even have a marriage scene and a special ring that changes your character stance to that of the opposite sex.
Oh, wait…
Dark Sun Gwyndolin: am I a joke to you
The obvious absurdity should make it clear these comments can't be taken seriously.
Took until the last comment until I figured that this probably not a self aware joke.
