I just cannot figure out how downloading and installing a mod is somehow less engagement with this clearly dangerous pronoun selection compared to, I assume, not moving the menu from the default, creating your character, and getting on with the game?
Does the pronoun selector come back to haunt you during later exploration? Is it the final boss?
As an aside, I’m genuinely a bit worried about what terrible hellscape a site named “basedmods” which is only available on some kind of onion-or-web3 routing must be. (Jokingly, as I clearly can’t resist knowing about it, does anyone have a Firefox add-on that will remove it from the websites I browse?)
during character creation you select skill points, traits, a name, body type, gender etc. And a pronoun. Its literally just a menu choice in character creation.
The only impact to the game is being referred to by your chosen pronoun.
Its the most ridiculous thing to be seething over like OP is here
Pronouns cannot be chosen. They are determined by your sex per the rules of English grammar. It’s the most ridiculous thing to be seething over objective correctness like you here.
It’s resistance against cultural imperialism. You wouldn’t get it because you clearly have no principles. You are happy to bend the knee against any and all opreasion.
By principles I am really saying sanity. Biology is immutable. English grammar is a matter of established consensus. Personal pronouns are objectively wrong per both standards.
The mod doesn’t work, though. I can call my male character “Silvia” (a female name). The game gives you the option to choose names that do not match what is culturally traditional.
They should give you less options. Don’t allow choosing names either.
In fact, remove character customization entirely, then there won’t be any “imperialism”, right?
I’d go further: make the game more lineal. Remove meaningful choices for the story. Do not allow the player to play in a way that might end up fitting any particular imperialistic agenda. People shouldn’t have freedom to choose to follow any ideal.
Never said you did. But you’re claiming oppression over the completely optional feature of… checks notes choosing a different combination of letters. Thats the sort of pathetic mental gymnastics I expect from Peterson and his ilk. Maybe youre more of a Joe Rogan or Matt Walsh kind of guy, but its not too much of a stretch to suggest one of them is informing your dumb ass opinions.
The oppression is forcing people to accept this completely nonsensical concept as part of a mandated world view. I resist and I use my freedom of choice to mod the game so that it is no longer nonsensical.

If you’re sincerely asking,

So that is literally the last time, assuming no bugs, you would encounter it?
… Yeah, that is pretty much what I figured. 😑

By “principals” your really are saying bigotry. Because you are a bigot.

Apparently customization oppresses.
This mod customizes the game to remove the cultural imperialism from it. Problem?

Good luck with your mod.
Oh so you like Jordan Peterson, got it.
I never mentioned him once anywhere in this thread. You’re hallucinating.

I do not consent. No means no. Capisce?
