But that’s not what you are doing. You don’t need this mod to make the choice that allows you to play the way you want.
I mean, I have no problem with modding anything anyway (in fact I believe it was wrong for Nexus to remove the mod, the only thing it did is making certain kind of obstinate people go into a silly crusade to defend a silly mod). But this mod is objectively removing options, not adding them.
This has nothing to do with biology, it’s 100% English grammar. Biology books are not the ones explaining what’s a “pronoun”. In fact, many languages don’t even have pronouns, and yet their biology books can perfectly be translated.
English grammar is constantly evolving. In fact, it would make it a lot more realistic if there were more strange expressions and mannerisms, even outside of pronouns. Battlestar Galactica did add some funny nonsensical expressions like “frak”, “rook”, “frimp”, “pogees” and popular phrases like “so say we all” that added a layer of depth to their futuristic culture, making it a lot more believable.
I don’t think this mod really helps with “realism”. It would in fact be unrealistic to expect no linguistic changes at all in 300 years. The only reason why I think some people are mad is because they think it’s pandering to a political agenda so they don’t even want to see an option be given at all… despite it actually being a totally optional and even totally believable aspect of a future hypothetical culture. Whether you agree with the direction that this hypothetical futuristic culture developed towards or not.
It has to do with both. In consensus English grammar, your pronoun is assigned to your per your sex. Billions speak English this way and they will not change because a handful of sexual degenerates tell them to. This is not up for debate.
That might be a particular consensus in English grammar, but it’s still 100% dependent on what your linguistics are. If, at some point in time, the consensus in English grammar were to assign different pronouns based on age, or what kind of job that person has… then that would still be a linguistic trait, even if you were linking it to a perceived physiological appearance / job position, they’d be doing it because the community in that language wants to do it, not because biology/economics dictates it.
So, like every consensus, the only thing making it change is for people in that Universe to agree with the change. Something that happens frequently, and has happened already several times across history.
300 years ago people used the pronoun “thou” for the second person in singular, and “you” was only used as a plural. And a lot of people pushed back against change too, but change did stick with the community, to the point that today everybody uses “you” and “thou” dissappeared.
It wouldn’t be unrealistic to assume that the same could happen, for example, with “they”, another 300 years in the future.
I’m simply removing objectively incorrect content. There is no such thing as personal pronouns, and with a simple mod, they are easily removed like any bug in any program. Problem?
I don’t get how this lets you play a game the way you want? It takes out an option in a drop down that you wouldn’t use in the first place? It’s like me removing the colour blind option in a game, when I’m not colour blind. Just don’t use it if you don’t need it.
The option itself doesn’t exist in reality. Biology and English grammar are crystal clear on this. The presence of the option in the game is itself wrong. The mod corrects this mistake.
Feel free to study any actually published biology or English textbook. You won’t find this nonsense anywhere in them. You’re just ignorant. You need to go back to school.

WTF is wrong with you people? All this effort just to be a dick.
Playing a single-player game the way I want is being a dick how exactly.

There is no such thing as a choice of personal pronouns. The concept doesn’t exist in biology and English grammar. The so-called feature is a bug.

That’s a lot of words to admit that you’re wrong. Bye, loser.
You’re so triggered by pronouns that you actively seek out a mod to remove them. You can fuck right off you bigot.

> claims to be removing ‘objecticely incorrect’ content
> does nothing but post incorrect content
My fucking sides, you bigots are hilarious(ly wrong about everything).
So in a game with faster than light travel you want realism from some optional character creation choices?
HAHAHAHAHAHA LOSER
FTL is theoretically possible through wormholes.
Git gud, scrub.
So FTL being theoretical is more believable to you than someone choosing their own identity.
Get fucked bigot.
Personal pronouns are objectively incorrect per the laws of biology and the rules of English grammar. This is not a matter of opinion.
Quote the “laws of biology”.
English reflects how people talk, it is not prescriptive.

Not that I agree with your point in the first place, but I hope you’re also modding out FTL travel then.
That’s theoretically possible through wormholes. We just don’t know the exact mechanism yet.

Lol, you don’t even know what personal pronouns are, why would I listen to you about anything?

Keep looking into that mirror.
Maybe it’s some sort of mental gymnastics that “If you can’t get some dick, you must become a dick”.
